Ok. Idea:
Slaanesh Major Psychic power
Phoenix Rising (45 points): The sorceror is wreathed in warpfire that consumes all he touches. The agony he is wracked with is both terrible and exquisite. At will, this hellfire spews forth in great gouts of anguish and terror. When slain, the sorceror's soul is so powerfully channeled between his body and soul that the warpfire may mend his flesh, bringing him back from the dead.
A sorceror with this power gains an AP2 flamer ability he may use in the shooting phase. In close combat, the sorceror may superheat, causing a great inferno. If he chooses to cause an inferno, he must pass a psychic test before any rolls to hit are rolled, center the ordnance blast template over him. Any models partially or even fully covered under the ordnance blast template take a str8 AP2 hit, including the sorceror himself (it's assumed he's allowing his battle-lust to consume him). If the sorceror is killed, but not killed outright (by means of being hit with double toughness, or some other manner), he may take a psychic test. If he passes, restore him to his starting wounds value.
Basically, if he's got the natural S5 T5 of demonic stature (I think that's what gives him the bonuses), he can't be auto-killed by his own phoenix inferno. And probably can come back from the grave easily. If he doesn't have the bonuses, the inferno won't be used as much. I put a steep points value on it because I don't think something that powerful should be a 25pt psychic power...
Anywho. I might post later on the barbs of anguish idea... |
