==Possible Psyker?== Phil Kelly's Farsight novels have been revealing quite a lot of details about the Tau Empire (whilst contradicting almost every other book about the Tβau), including this rather...odd implication. In previous lore, his name came about due to him studying Ork psychology to an extreme degree, to the point where he could predict their psychological reactions to everything. This then carried over to the Imperium when he studied the Codex Astartes and was able to predict Imperial strategy because of it. However in the Kelly books, Farsight demonstrated multiple instances where he literally sees the future and what his opponent will do. Yes, by the way, [[wat|this ability shows up '''before''' he found the Dawn Blade]], implying that he might be the first Tau psyker, a [[Anime|"new type"]] of Tau if you will. This is... confusing, to say the least. There's no precedence for this and the Tau are a race with very little warp presence, so how in the hell do they suddenly jump from that to "manipulate the very warp itself with mere thought"?! To make matters worse, this only appears in the books, he has '''no''' psychic abilities on the tabletop, nothing seems to have come out of it and it's contradictory based on what happens in those books as this would also mean he gets all of the benefits of being a psyker, [[Mary Sue|without having to put in any of the work or deal with any of the downsides,]] such as being detected by other psykers and also being extremely vulnerable to both Daemons and [[enslavers|other denizens of the warp.]] Or he's just Char, one of the <s>best Gundam</s> better mobile suit pilots who develops newtype abilities. Considering the idea of the entirety of humanity becoming a psychic race in space has been copied from the Gundam series, it's not surprising anymore.
