Editing Adeptus Astra Telepathica (section)

===Astropath Transcendent===
Despite what is commonly believed, the role of Astropath is not always relegated to the those of weaker ability.

There [[Rogue Trader (RPG)|ARE]] very powerful Astropaths abound in the Imperium and usually find work either as the sole Astropath upon starships that travel alone in the Imperium, the head of psychic choirs, or as advisors to planetary governors or important Imperial commanders.

These Astropaths are generally distinguished from their colleagues by being exceptionally strong-willed and savvy, since the most common way to become an Astropath Transcendent is to endure travel beyond the Imperium's edges (where they risk being driven batshit insane by dead aliens' thoughts ''a la'' Cthulhu and the lack of fellow Astropaths) as part of a Rogue Trader's ensemble. They're in thick with their boss (typically a Rogue Trader or the like) as a result of their power and importance.

====Abilities====
While ostensibly their duties remain as glorified psychic telephones, because their power is increased they generally have equivalent or longer ranges than choirs of lesser Astropaths.

Not only that, but they can branch into psychic disciplines ''other'' than Telepathy, but because of their specialised nature they don't get access to the full range of abilities a Sanctioned/Primaris Psyker would, however due to the nature of their '''Soul-Binding''' they do get access to powers unique to themselves and the basic telepathy, divination and telekinesis powers any sufficiently capable Psyker can use:
:'''Telepathy'''
:'''Divination'''
:'''Telekinesis'''
:'''Theosophamy''' - pretty much a form of Sanctic Daemonology, though because they are Soul-Bound, the Astropath can use their link to the Emperor to add ''Holy'' effects to their psychic powers.
:'''Soul Ward''' - undoubtedly another Sanctic sub-discipline, more focused on protection and enhancement than Theosophamy.
:'''Void Frost''' - a unique discipline that manipulates those spaces devoid of the Astronomican's warmth. [[Fail|Probably resulting in some more followers of Chaos.]]

Beyond all of this, Astropaths Transcendent can use their powers in more unique fashions as well. Because their psychic range is determined in hundreds of thousands, ''(if not '''billions''')'' of kilometres rather than metres or kilometres as per regular Sanctioned/Primaris Psykers. they can find use in ship-to-ship combat, being able to control the minds of enemy crews using Telepathy powers, or even setting enemy vessels [[What|on FIRE]] [[AWESOME|THROUGH enemy shields and hull plating]] using a form of Telekinesis, making them far more useful than simple messengers. Likely especially against Eldar and maybe Orks given both species rely on [[Waaagh|technologies which]] [[Wraithbone|depend entirely on the warp.]]
