You halve the time it takes to attempt any Tech test, and you add +Double Rank bonus dice to interact with machinery. In addition, as a Simple Action you may invoke one of the Canticles of the Omnissiah (see AAOA, pg. 96).
These binaric blessings are as much programming as exhortations to action, and they take effect automatically.
Invoking a Canticle requires a DN 1 Tech test, adding +1 to the DN for each affected ADEPTUS MECHANICUS character after the first. Affected characters must be within 15m of the Magos or connected by Data-Tether.
All references to Rank in the Canticles below refer to the Rank of the Magos invoking the Canticle. A character may only benefit from one Canticle at a time, and the effects last only until the start of the Magos’ next turn.
- INCANTATION OF THE IRON SOUL: Affected characters add +Rank to their Resolve
- LITANY OF THE ELECTROMANCER: Roll 1d6 for each enemy Engaged with an affected character; on a 6, that enemy suffers 1d3 Mortal Wounds.
- CHANT OF THE REMORSELESS FIST: Affected characters add +Rank bonus dice to melee attacks.
- SHROUDPSALM: Affected characters add +Rank to Defence.
- INVOCATION OF MACHINE MIGHT: Affected characters add +Rank to the damage value of their melee weapons.
- BENEDICTION OF THE OMNISSIAH: Affected characters add +Rank bonus dice to ranged attacks.
- ORISON OF SCRUTINY: Affected characters add +Rank bonus dice to Awareness Tests.
- TECHNOSUPPLICATION: Affected characters add +Rank bonus dice to Tech Tests.
