Holy Moly – Homer in Warhammer 40,000

A Reading from Homer by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema
Homer-a-Day, Day 11: Moly

Holy Moly
Moly is an extremely rare herb, the entire galactic harvest of which by ancient decree is the rightful possession of the Ecclesiarchy alone. The faithful servants of the God Emperor have good reason to jealously guard this prerogative. Moly, properly prepared and sanctified, offers potent protection against psychic powers and other witchcraft seeking to corrupt the faithfuls’ bodies and minds. Most often, Moly is burned together with other herbs in censers or braziers, its thick white smoke turning the very air into a ward, but Moly can also be ingested for even greter effect.

Moly incense lends a +10 bonus on all tests to resist psychic powers, witchcraft and daemonic abilities influencing the body or mind to all who are within the area filled with the incense.
Ingested, a dose of Moly gives a +30 bonus on all tests for resisting psychic powers and grants complete immunity to any mutation caused by the influence of the warp and any other bodily changes (such as biomancy powers).

blut_und_glas: […] Homer-a-Day?

Homer-a-Day – one Homer inspired Warhammer 40,000 article per day, for one month. Pure hubris, incited when a stroll through our own archives led first to reexamining the Odysseus Pattern Astartes Greatbow and then to the exchange quoted above.

Don’t uncork what you can’t contain.
