Default abhor the witch and farseers

Well good ol battle-ranch got scared of my farseer after reading the farseer tatica and decided that he was gonna take the vow abhor the witch to counter him, now then that creates some confusion on what powers he ignores and what powers I gotta role a dice for, more specifically doom, is it a minor power or a major?

Cheers mates

i think that all farseer powers are major powers, and warlock powers are minor powers as you don't have to test to use them. don't quote me though.

technically none of the minor powers are torney-legal (since the change from the old chaos book to the new one). and im sure all farseer powers are major ones

hairy is correct - so all the farseer's powers are affected by this vow, but none of the warlock ones.

just to note, unless it specifically states that a power is minor, then it is major.

a major psychic power is any power which requires a psychic test to be taken.
a minor power never requires a psychic test - they're always in effect.

keep in mind though that warlock powers are just that; 'warlock powers'. i honestly don't think there are any more actual 'minor' psychic powers??!
so yep, those templars can't ignore things like destructor, conceal or viel of tears!

cheers!

Interesting

So powers that donīt need a check to be used are ignored with the Vow... seem really nice

except for 'warlock powers' as those are specifically listed as "warlock powers" and not "minor psychic powers"

again, it's a real grey area that requires some offical studio clarification!

cheers!

Thanks for the quick response guys, so farseer has to take the test if I doom, mindwar, or eldritch blast and warlocks and shadow seers don't have to test at all? seems a little funny for them but oh well works to my advantage!
