Genestealer Cults Wyrd Powers

Genestealer Cults Adepts are Psykers, as described on page 75 of the Necromunda Rulebook, drawing their powers from their connection to the distant Patriarch of the wider cult that this gang represents one creeping tendril of. A Cult Adept has access to the Cult Wyrd Power list below as one of their Primary skill sets.

1. Telepathy – Hypnosis (Basic)

With little more than a piercing stare, the Adept can dominate the minds of the weaker-willed. Select an enemy fighter that is both within 9" and line of sight of the Adept, and that has not been activated this turn. If the Willpower check to perform this action is successful, that fighter may only perform a single Move (Simple) action when activated this round.

2. Telepathy – Unbreakable Will (Basic), Continuous Effect

The Adept channels some measure of the Patriarch's control over nearby cult members. Whenever a Nerve or Willpower test is made for another fighter from the gang who is within 9" of the Adept, use the Adept's Cool or Willpower characteristic value (whichever is appropriate).

3. Telepathy – Zealot (Double), Continuous Effect

The mere presence of the Adept can drive their cult brethren to acts of aggressive hatred. Once per turn, when another fighter from the same gang that is within 9" of the Adept makes a Fight (Basic) or Charge (Double) action, any dice that roll a 1 to hit may be re-rolled.

4. Telepathy – Mind Control (Basic)

Twitching and spasming under the control of the Adept, an enemy fighter is forced to slowly raise their weapon and take aim upon one of their friends. Select an enemy fighter that is within 9" of the Adept. That fighter immediately makes a Shoot (Basic) action, even if they have already activated this round, targeting an eligible fighter from their gang, chosen by the Genestealer Cults player.

5. Telekinesis – Assail (Basic)

The Adept uses the force of their will to push enemies from their path. Immediately make a ranged attack against an enemy fighter within 12" and line of sight. If hit, move the target D3" in any direction – if they were Standing, they become Prone and Pinned after moving. If they come into base contact with a Standing fighter or any terrain, they stop moving and suffer a Strength 3, Damage 1 hit. If they come into base contact with another fighter, that fighter also suffers a Strength 3, Damage 1 hit and becomes Prone and Pinned.

6. Telekinesis – Force Blast (Basic)

Any enemy fighters within 3" of this Psyker are immediately pushed D3+1" directly away. If this movement would push a fighter from a platform or into a pitfall, stop them at the edge and take an Initiative test for them. If the test is passed, they are placed Prone at the edge. If the test is failed, they will fall. If this movement is interrupted by a wall or other impassable terrain, the fighter is immediately Pinned and takes a hit with a Strength equal to the number of inches rolled for the push distance.
