You add +Rank ED to all damage rolls, and you add +Double Rank to the damage value of your Unarmed Strikes. In addition, so long as you are not immobilised or Restrained, you may use Agility instead of Toughness when you roll Determination, and you may roll Determination against Mortal Wounds.
Enemies engaged with you at the end of their turn must pass a Willpower test (DN 2+Rank) or suffer Shock equal to your Rank. PSYKERS suffer Shock equal to twice your Rank instead.
You are anathema, witch-bane, wyrdslayer, psychic abomination. Your foes dread your presence, desperately hoping that you are a nightmarish figment, for their minds cannot bear to acknowledge the abyss within your soul.
The Culexus Assassins are the most sinister, feared, and hated of all Imperial Assassins. They are null-entities in the warp, and their unnatural lack of a presence inspiring a sense of unease even in non-psykers. To psykers their mere presence is terrifying, invoking panic. In the confusion caused by this fear, the assassin can move in on its target and eliminate them. To purely psychic entities like daemons, they are nigh-invisible at best, akin to trying to see a black hole amidst the inky void of space.
The Culexus Assassins possess the "Pariah Gene", making them for all intents, "soulless," accounting for their lack of warp-presence. This gene manifests itself very rarely, in a single individual among a billion, or more. This extreme rarity, coupled with the inevitable losses during training, makes the Culexus assassins the rarest of all Imperial assassins. The Culexus temple is known to hunt down and recruit these Pariahs but also to vat-grow them, an arduous and complex process that produces only a few viable candidates a year.
