Deathdealer Triggers and damn near kills my own team.

[Lucius Kern]

Iddy being the unsanction psyker she is, seems to have some issues with her whispers because she is trying to murder me.
Now I made her focus on Sniping with a bit psyker powers, primarily Telepathy for Psychic assault, now she has Deathdealer and following things happen.

1: She uses her Smexy Long Las and shoots the head of some cultists
2: She Psychic Assault screams the living daylight out of my party members.

poor Pasqal and Angy was in cover side by side with Iddy and she obliderated their health and took them EXTREMLY low and left so wounded that it isnt even funny.

I took deathdealer because I considered them to be focusing on shooting one more time at someone Hostile, not freaking murder my own team members. What the Actual Heck.

Now I am going to respect her to remove that Deathdealer, but come on, it cannot be intended for Iddy to try and murder her team members, or is Tzeentch sitting on her shoulder playing tricks on her? Only thing that makes sense really, that or developers made an awesome ability but didnt consider it could trigger in such a fashion.

Never used Deathdealer, but I just read the ability.

The tooltip says that after she kills someone she's supposed to immediately make an additional attack against the closest enemy using the same weapon if possible.

So, why is she screaming?

The way that they wrote it, it sounds like she should be using the gun twice.

But it says, 'if possible'.

No idea.

Nah it uses the ability thats "Cheapest" which happened to be Psychic Assault the Cone AoE version of Psycich Screech. Because using the Sniper rifle would be costly it needs 2 AP, but some other buffs and triggers had made her next psyker attack 0 AP so thats what got used.

point is, that Psyker Assault ability hit 1 enemy, but it also hit my entire party and almost killed Angy if it wasnt for her Emergency Injector that left her with 1 HP and Pasqal having the beastly damage reduction from his heavy Mechanicus Robes and other snacks only ended up with severe damage. But point of the matter is, that Deathdealer in Iddys hand was.... not smart....

Deathdealer in Arderals hand tend to have him use Taunt aoe after killing a target, and that i do like, but i just wish they had some (do not use aoe if friendly and civiies can take damage from it, priorities Psyker singel target or non damage ability instead.)

And for clearity: Iddy had
Sanctified Powers: Word of Emperor, Hammer of Emperor
Telepath: Screech and Assault: for if enemies come to make issues, having that aoe is nice.
Deadeye shot: SPLATT enemy when hammer of empy is rocking

but Using word and hammer can trigger stuff that makes other psyker powers extremly cheap and what not, I think it is 25% chance or something.

This made the perfect storm with deathdealer that simply tried to straight up murder the party.
