Hi!

In an effort to get our minds back on Netepic and away from sadder
topics, below are the promised "clarifications" for psychic powers and
their relation to psy-save and nullifying powers. Once complete they
will form an addendum to each net epic book.

I. Chaos

Chaos cards

1. CAF cards
Be-weaponed extremities
Mace tails
Tentacles
Horns
Multiple arms
Beaked
Poisonous bite
Cloven hooves
Long Spines
Fangs
Scorpion Tail
Razor sharp fangs

All the cards add +1 CAF to one detachment or model (keeping in mind the
restrictions of which models CAN receive them).

Psy-saves DO NOT apply, since they don't target enemy units. They also
cannot be nullified later, since they are considered instantaneous
effects. Besides there's no point in nullifying if you cant do so before
close combat.

2. Fear cards
Skull face
Transparent face
Flaming skull face
Rotting flesh

These cards cause morale checks. Psy-saves DO apply. Also this effect
MAY be nullified since it lasts the turn. A nullified effect means the
unit is NO LONGER on fallback orders. Note a routed unit CANNOT be
brought back, since routed is an immediate effect.

3. Cards that increases saving throws
Warty skin
Scaly skin
Resilient
These cards add +1 to the units base saving throw. Psy-saves do not
apply, but since the effect lasts the turn it CAN be nullified

4. Cards that reduce CAF
Uncontrollable flatulence
Horrible stench

These cards halve the CAF of enemy units in a radius. Psy-saves apply,
but only to the unit with the save, not to nearby friendly units, unless
it can extend the bonus to nearby units. They effect can be nullified.

5. Direct attack cards
Breaths fire
Spits acid
Enormously fat

These cards directly attack one unit and are instantaneous in effect.
Psy-saves apply, but they cannot be nullified.

6. Special cards
Telekinesis- psy-saves apply, cannot be dispelled, instantaneous
