In the GW book: Shield of Baal - Leviathan
there are new rules for Fighter Aces which I have summarized for review.
Any objections to them being introduced ?
Any changes you wish to make ?

Trial Rules Change - Psychic Powers - Warp Charge Pool
This proposed change will reduce the number of psychic dice available.
Current Rule:
Psykers get their mastery level in both player turns
plus 1D6 per player turn
Proposed Rule:
Psykers get their mastery level per Game turn
plus 1D6 per Game turn.
to share between attack and defense
plus 1 free die to deny a power cast on one of your units.
Note.
If a player is facing a null psychic army the only difference to the current rules is that the null psychics get one extra dice to deny if targeted by a power.
Eg.
In a battle where Eldar have four mastery levels and Orks have two. In turn one a '4' is rolled for addition warp charge points. The Eldar try to reduce the armour save on an Orc unit. They use three dice and get the power, by harnessing one of these three warp charges. To deny, the Orcs get one dice (free) plus as many out of their game turn warp charge pool as they want to take. They roll five dice and get a '6', denying the power. Eldar do not try to activate any more powers. They have five warp charges left to deny in the Ork psychic phase (plus one per power they are targeted with). The Orks have three warp charges in their turn to try to activate powers.
Reason:
1) With reduce dice available it should speed up the psychic phase.
2) Make psykers more powerful as there will be less denying.
Current Rule:
Psykers get their mastery level in both player turns
plus 1D6 per player turn
Proposed Rule:
Psykers get their mastery level per Game turn
plus 1D6 per Game turn.
to share between attack and defense
plus 1 free die to deny a power cast on one of your units.
