He, he, he, this had to come one day!!!!
The nullify power isn't all that, remember it only lasts for one combat
phase!!! But the beakon power is where the cheese is!!!! I think you should
perhaps reduce the range of the nullify to 50cm. Keep the die rolls as they
are!! This power takes on action to activate, and it is not fullproof.

Hi!
Hmmm. you got a point there, I did not read that power for the
Astropath, the clarifications are mostly for the Slann's nullify ability.
I have reviewed the Astropath's power and come to the conclusion that it
is too powerful, its too long range and it gets a too large a bonus over
psykers that the fluff indicates are better at psychics than the
astropath, like Warlocks and Librarians.
I would re-define the power as a range of 25cm (Astropaths are weak
psykers). If the power is from a card source (such as a chaos card) its
a straight d6 roll, if he wins its cancelled. If its from a psyker they
gain a +1 bonus the astropath none. If a greater demon or Great mage its
a +3 bonus. Its much weakened, but more appropriate, given that they are
cheap you could conceivably have a couple running around and offer good
protection (the range makes it a defensive not offensive as it should
be) to nearby supported units. Plus unlike nullification it can be used
every turn.
Comments.
