Minor Manifestations
Examples of appropriate Minor Manifestations belonging to the Divination Discipline are listed below

Omen
The psyker causes a strange but pertinent omen to
appear within the hour that forebodingly warns of future
events that will bring either luck or misfortune to the psyker.
However, the psyker cannot determine such easily as the
omen appears vague or holds a double meaning.

Fortune
The psyker causes some small form of fortune to befall
himself or another. Such a fortune is often of small value -
such as nice chrono, a lho-stick, or a few rounds of
ammunition for a favored weapon.

Empathic Perception
The psyker is able to fully interpret the emotion, moods,
and temperaments of another without reading apparent
symptoms, allowing him to understand introverts or discover
one emotion is actually hiding another. They can attack
someone in a personal and emotional way since they know
exactly what emotion is flowing through themselves and can
use this knowledge to play against them.

Chrono Control
The psyker is able to manipulate and control the dials and
displays of watches, chronos, and other time pieces. While
considered a simple trick by many, few know that the
devices are in actuality being manipulated by temporal
distortions - speeding up or slowing down through accurate
gauging.

The psyker has focused on the arts of Divination above all others. The psyker classes all the Focus Power test difficulty for

The psyker may only take powers from the Divination Discipline, and may not have any non-Divination powers when this talent is
purchased. Additionally, the Diviner replaces the Perils of the Warp table with Table 11-10: Divination Perils of the Warp, on

from an object or a general area as long as it falls within the

the area or object.
• PR 4–5: As above, plus the psyker sees the general features of
the people who experienced the emotion, and a rough impression
of the events that transpired.
• PR 6–7: As all of the above, plus the psyker gets a clear image of
the events from the area that left the strongest psychic
impressions.
• PR 8–9: As all of the above, plus the psyker can identify all
participants from that strongest event, including their careers,
ranks, and names.
• PR 10+: As all of the above, plus the psyker determines other
events that may have occurred in the area, in order of the relative
strength of their psychic impressions, and gets a clear image of

While under the effects of this power, the psyker's attack
simply cannot miss - as his targets are helpless to defend
themselves. Evading attacks is equally easy for the psyker
as he can simply step aside from even the most terrible
forms of aggression. The psyker is able to manipulate his
surroundings. When the duration of this power is ended, to
on-lookers the psyker will have seemed to teleport out of
harm's way, or his enemies will suddenly find themselves
rent apart helplessly unseen blows. This great feat of
psychic strength is incredibly dangerous, however, and each
time the psyker manifests this power he suffers 1 level of
Fatigue, gaining an additional level of Fatigue for every 5
rounds the power is sustained.
Table 11-10: Divination Perils of the Warp
1D100 Effect
01-05 Dark Foreboding: A faint, chilling breeze whispers past the psyker and those near him, and everyone shudders as they know
somewhere else in the galaxy, something too terrible to fully contemplate has just occurred.
06-09 Spinechill: Animals within 2d10 meters of the psyker become spooked for 1d5 rounds. If a character uses a psychic power in
the affected during that time, he triggers a psychic phenomenon regardless of his focus power test’s result.
10-13 Inscrutable Omen: The psyker notices a pattern of shadow, a drifting smog cloud, or some other mundane effect in the exact
shape of a sign of inevitable doom. If he attempts to point this sign out to anyone else, it vanishes. The psyker is Stunned for 1
round and must make a Ordinary (+10) Willpower test or suffer 1 Insanity.
14-18 Nightmare Sign: The psyker is wracked by a dread vision. He must immediately make a Hard (–20) Perception test; if he
succeeds, he receives foreknowledge of an event to come and suffers 1 Insanity, but also gains a +10 bonus on his next test
this encounter. If he fails, he is overwhelmed by the horrible vision, and suffers 3 Insanity.
19-24 Swallowed by Darkness: Shadows surge forth and devour the psyker’s vision temporarily, leaving him in sightless for a
moment. The psyker is Blinded for 1d5 rounds and suffers 1d5 Insanity.
25-30 Bloody Tears: For 1d10 rounds, trails of dripping crimson weep from statues, stones, and trees within 3d10 meters of where
the psyker received this result. If a character uses a psychic power within the affected area during that time, he triggers a
psychic phenomenon regardless of the result of his focus power test, adding +5 to the roll on the Perils of the Warp table.
31-38 Distorted Reflection: All mirrors and reflective surfaces within 2d10 meters of the psyker display him as an eldritch terror
whenever the he peers into them. The psyker suffers 1 Insanity every time he sees his twisted reflection until the end of the
session.
39-46 Weapon Jinx: With an ominous set of clicks, the interior mechanisms of all firearms and explosives are upset by the Warp’s
caprices. For the next 1d5 rounds, ranged weapons in 1d10+5 meters of the psyker Jam on any failed Ballistic skill test.
47-55 Ætheric Synesthesia: The psyker’s senses become scrambled; he hears battlefield cacophonies as a splatter of shuddering
colors and feels the stench of the Warp crawling under his eyeballs. The psyker suffers 1d10 Perception Characteristic
Damage and 1d5 Insanity.
56-58 Obsessive Fear: The psyker perceives countless tiny, daemonic hands tugging at his skin and comes to believe that without a
constant repetition of a minor, meaningless ritual, his very soul will be dragged screaming into the Warp. For 2d10 rounds, the
psyker must spend a Half Action on each of his turns satisfying this minor compulsion or suffer 2 Insanity at the end of that
turn.
59-67 The Tarot Shuffles!: The psyker watches the skeins of fate unweave themselves before winding into a new pattern. For each
character within 1d10 meters (including the psyker), the psyker rolls once on the Divinations table. The psyker then chooses
which fortune or misfortune applies to each affected character; these immediately replace any previous divinations.
68-69 There Lurks Despair: The psyker spots the portent of his final doom! Choose an inanimate object within 1d100 meters at
random; until the end of the encounter, whenever the psyker moves toward the object (or it moves toward him), he suffers 1d5
Insanity.
70-72 Rain of Blood: The heavens tear open and blood pours forth. Until the end of the encounter, blood falls from the skies within
30 meters of where the psyker received this result. If a psyker uses a psychic power within the affected area during that time,
he triggers a psychic phenomenon regardless of the result of his focus power test, adding +5 to the result.
73-78 Irrepressible Fear: A dark sign briefly burns its way into being upon the psyker’s brow, and primal instinct clutches at the
minds of everyone around him. The psyker gains the Fear (3) trait until the end of the encounter.
79-82 The Gibbering: The psyker’s speech is corrupted and fraught with foul blasphemies. Until the end of the encounter, at the end
of each of his turns in which the psyker spoke or used a psychic power, each other character who can hear him suffers 1
Corruption and must make a –30 Willpower test or be Stunned for 1 round.
83-86 Catastrophic Hex: The psyker suddenly realizes that he has made a hideous miscalculation in his divinations, but does not
know when or where. For the next 2d10 rounds, all ranged weapons within 1d100 meters of the psyker automatically Jam and
become Damaged on any failed Ballistic Skill test. Grenades that jam in this way instantly explode.
87-90 Vicious Loathing: Hatred wells up in the minds of all around the psyker, and each person independently draws the conclusion
that the psyker is at fault for all of their current problems. All other characters within 4d10 meters must make a Fear (0) test.
Any character who fails this test gains the Frenzy condition and must attempt to bludgeon the psyker to death (or at least into
submission) for a number of rounds equal to his degrees of failure on the test.
91-92 Damning Spot: The psyker sees a seething Warp-stain on his arm, a mark of irrefutable damnation, and attempts to part
himself from this curse—violently. He must make a Very Hard (–30) Perception test to pinpoint the maddening illusion. If he
succeeds, he must choose either to suffer 1d10 Insanity or to hack off the “affected” flesh, suffering 1d10+5 Rending wounds
on one of his arms (chosen at random) and three levels of Fatigue. If he fails, suffers both effects.
93-94 Struck Blind: The psyker’s eyes fall upon the visage of a Daemon within the Warp and are blasted from his head, leaving only
seared flesh-pits. The psyker suffers the Lost Eye condition for both (or all) of his eyes, 1d5 Corruption, and 1d10 Insanity.
95-99 Horrendous Knowledge: The true name of a Daemon springs fully-formed into the mind of the psyker. The psyker suffers
1d10 Insanity and 1d10 Corruption and must immediately make a –30 Willpower test. If he fails, he becomes Stunned for 1d10
rounds, during which time he ceaselessly chants the name. At the end of each of the psyker’s turns spent this way, each
character who heard his infernal chanting suffers 2 Corruption and 2 Insanity.
00 Beyond the Veil of Sanity: The psyker sees into the root of the universe itself, beholding the hideous truth hiding behind
sanity-preserving lies such as time and reason. The psyker goes irrevocably mad, and begins to endlessly babble a horrid
torrent of words. The psyker’s Insanity becomes 100, and any character who can hear the psyker’s reality-shattering truths
must make a Very Hard (–30) Willpower test or suffer 1d10 Insanity at the beginning of each round until the psyker is silenced.
