Two questions 1 general and 1 specific, i have my own opinions on the answers but i'm looking to see if anyone agrees or disagrees. starting with the general one

Psychic Focus and Chaos Psychic Focus, if i have a daemon psyker and generate all my powers from one discipline would i get the primaris power of that discipline and his godly primaris power? In an example:
I have a ML2 Herald of Tzeentch who generates all his powers from the malefic discipline, he also gets the Tzeentch primaris power and, as this is not generated and done before the game begins, would he also get the malefic primaris power?
in my opinion he would due to the wording of the rules but it would be considered dickish to do so in a casual game

the second question is about Fateweaver
as all psykers can genarate powers from the demonology can he? and if so would he swap some of his roles on the other disciplines for roles on the malefic one (keeping track of which head rolled which power)?

Ok first off... if the psyker is from the CSM book he must ROLL 1 of his powers on his chosen god if he has one. If however he is from the daemon book then no he doesn't.
This has the weird affect that a daemon prince bought from the CSM codex can only take the primus for free of their chosen god, as he must roll at least 1 power from that god. However the same daemon prince bought from daemon codex doesn't have this restriction. He gains the primus of his god for free what is states as
"that model automatically knows the primaris power of the discipline that corresponds to their patron deity, in addition to any other powers it knows."
So as he could roll everything on biomancy he could take the primus from biomancy for free IN ADDITION to the primaris of his god.
Kinda stupid I know, but that's the way the rules is written...

As for Fateweaver... sadly despite the FAQ saying all psykers know daemonology. His heads each know 1 spell from 2 specific schools. So no you cant have daemonic on him. Same as if an item of wargear gave you a random pyro spell, you couldn't swap it for a malefic just as it is new.
Same goes for the scroll of Magnus does not mean you now need to roll a D8 because of Santic and Malefic being added to the game, they aren't added to the item.
Again, seems rather stupid, but will likely get FAQ at some point to make either lefty or right have access to it and the other one have access to Santic or something bazaar.

pity about fateweaver though not more than i exspected

though as for chaos daemons they do not have to roll at all on there respective god charts which is why i was wondering about the psychic focus rule, they can generate all their powers from any disiplin known to them

As I put above.
"So as he could roll everything on biomancy he could take the primus from biomancy for free IN ADDITION to the primaris of his god."

Same goes for horrors for instance who could roll on Malefic. Get a 2 - Darkflame. They would also get the primus for free - Summoning & get the Tzeentch primus for free - Flickering

did i miss it in your above post? sorry, though that's good news thanks :biggrin:

i think that you may be right, i guess that we'll have to wait and see when they bring out an faq for the actual rule book
