Psyk-Out Grenade

psYK-ouT gRenade Terrifying to psykers, Psyk-Out grenades are extremely rare and controlled weapons, typically available only to the most fervent and loyal of the Imperium’s servants. Manufactured solely on Holy Terra, Psyk-Out grenades contain minute dust particles which are impregnated with negative psychic energies. The exact manufacture of these items is a secret to all but the highest powers of the Imperium, and the loss or battlefi eld theft of these weapons has been cause for entire Imperial Guard regiments to be dispatched to ensure they do not fall into the hands of xenos or heretical forces. Any Psyker within the blast radius of a psyk-out grenade when it explodes, or entering the dust fi eld before it dissipates, must make a Very Hard (–30) Willpower Test. Psykers who fail the Test lose 1 Psy Rating for each degree of failure. Psy-Rating lost this way returns at the rate of 1 Psy Rating every six hours. In addition, a Psyker who loses two or more Psy Rating from the Psyk-Out grenade automatically suffers Psychic Phenomena when manifesting a psychic power for 10 rounds minus his Willpower Bonus after being affected by the grenade. The dust from the Psyk-Out grenade lingers in the area of the blast for fi ve rounds after the explosion. Any Psyker who attempts to manifest a psychic power within the area of the blast before the dust has dispersed automatically fails.
