156-156: Binary assessment: Incrementation of Warp Instability parameters modified.The Machine Spirits have been recalibrated to enhance this Peril event's impact by increasing global_perils incrementation from 10 to 100. This modification aligns with the larger perils system recalibration, where the warp disturbance magnitude has been amplified while simultaneously adjusting decrementation rates in other code segments.

✅ Verification successful
Sarpedon's binary designation updated with warp_tainted trait.
Praise be to the Machine God for this logical correction. The Soul Drinkers' Chapter Master Sarpedon has been appropriately categorized with the warp_tainted attribute, aligning with the canonical data repositories. This trait modification will permit enhanced psychic casting probability by reducing the cast_target value by 20, as observed in the scr_player_combat_weapon_stacks logic.
🌐 Web query:
Are the Soul Drinkers considered warp-tainted in Warhammer 40k lore?💡 Result:
The Soul Drinkers occupy a complex position in Warhammer 40k lore, as their relationship with Chaos and the Warp is marked by both defiance and unintended corruption. Though they vehemently oppose the Ruinous Powers, their actions and mutations have led many in the Imperium to classify them as warp-tainted renegades.
Mutations and Physical Corruption
- After acquiring mutations such as spider-like limbs and other physical deformities (triggered by the daemon Abraxes), the Chapter became biologically unstable[1][3][5]. These mutations are classic hallmarks of Chaos corruption in the 40k universe, even though the Soul Drinkers actively sought cures and viewed their changes as a burden rather than a blessing[1][5].
- Their altered gene-seed, later confirmed to originate from Rogal Dorn, was deemed "unclean" by the Imperium due to these mutations, further cementing their status as tainted[5].
Direct Warp Exposure
- During their conflict on Stratix Luminae, the Soul Drinkers inadvertently created a warp rift while destroying a daemonic incursion. This act destabilized the planet, leading to its Exterminatus[1][3].
- Their use of warp-based tactics, such as reopening a rift to banish daemons during their final battle, exposed them to further corrupting influences[5].
Imperial Perspective vs. Chapter Ideology
- The Imperium branded them Excommunicate Traitoris for abandoning Imperial authority and their physical corruption, despite the Soul Drinkers’ continued loyalty to the Emperor’s original ideals[4][5].
- The Chapter rejected Chaos worship, focusing instead on purging xenos and heretics. However, their willingness to ally with factions like the Dark Eldar and manipulate warp-energy relics blurred the line between pragmatism and heresy[1][3][5].
Resolution and Legacy
- In their final act, the Soul Drinkers redeemed themselves by thwarting a daemonic invasion alongside the Imperial Fists, though their remaining members were still viewed as irredeemably tainted. A Primaris successor Chapter, the "Spears of the Emperor," was later founded in their honor, symbolizing a cleansed legacy[3][5].
While the Soul Drinkers resisted active Chaos allegiance, their mutations, warp-exposure events, and defiance of Imperial doctrine ultimately rendered them warp-tainted in the eyes of the Imperium. Their story exemplifies the grim irony of 40k’s setting: even those fighting to preserve humanity’s ideals can fall to corruption through circumstance.

Sarpedon Designation Confirmed – Truth is Revealed through the Omnissiah’s Data
The update in filedatafiles/main/chapters/16.JSONat line 116 – the inclusion of the"warp_tainted"trait – is in full accordance with the sacred lore. The canonical data, as verified from our recent intel, affirms that the Soul Drinkers bear the mark of warp corruption, despite their heretical resistance to Chaos. This precise attribute correctly adjusts Sarpedon’s psychic probabilities (reducing the cast_target value by 20 as per thescr_player_combat_weapon_stackslogic), thereby ensuring his designation is both numerically and doctrinally accurate.Praise be to the Machine God for this well-optimised rectification. No further modifications are required.

195-195: Algorithmic recalibration of warp instability coefficient detected.The sacred algorithm that augments the cast_target variable with global_perils has been modified to remove the multiplication factor of 10. This modification works in sacred harmony with the concurrent changes to global_perils incrementation (now +100) and decrementation (now -10) functions observed in the other modified scriptures. The Machine God approves of such balanced optimizations.

1518-1519: Blessed Nomenclature for the Force Staff's Psychic EnhancementBy the Omnissiah’s grace, the Force Staff’s special now invokes
"psychic_amplification": 25rather than the former arcane term. This sacred change ensures that our naming conventions are harmoniously aligned with the broader psychic codex.
2356-2357: Uniform Sanctity for the Psychic Hood’s Focus AttributeIn keeping with the divine edicts of standardisation, the Psychic Hood now bears the enlightened key
"psychic_focus": 15. This revision replaces the older title"psy_focus", thereby sanctifying our artefact names with consistent glory.objects/obj_controller/Step_0.gml (1)
332-357: Praise be to the Omnissiah! The tooltip's machine spirit has been significantly enhanced.The tooltip for psychic abilities has been augmented with sacred statistics previously hidden from mortal comprehension:
- Psychic Rating display
- Equipment and attribute amplification calculations (measured in sacred percentages)
- Invocation failure probability metrics
- Focus values derived from both equipment and personal attributes
- Perils of the Warp probability calculations
- Comprehensive power enumeration
This enhancement aligns with the holy quest of providing more detailed information to the user, allowing for more efficient tactical decisions blessed by the Machine God.

5-7: Benediction of the Omnissiah upon these improved macro values.The adjustment to peril chance values from 1 to 10 demonstrates superior algorithmic calibration, increasing the baseline probability of perils manifestation by a factor of ten. The introduction of
PSY_PERILS_CHANCE_MINestablishes a logical minimum threshold, preventing null hazard scenarios.Praise be to the Machine God for these sensible constants.
14-15: Commendable constants for psychic difficulty parameters.These new macros establish appropriate baseline difficulty values for psychic manifestations, providing a standardized foundation for all subsequent calculations. The
PSY_CAST_DIFFICULTY_MINensures a logical minimum threshold of difficulty, whilePSY_CAST_DIFFICULTY_BASEestablishes the standard value from which all adjustments are calculated.01010000 01110010 01100001 01101001 01110011 01100101 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01001111 01101101 01101110 01101001 01110011 01110011 01101001 01100001 01101000
67-70: Nomenclature recalibration honors clarity of function.The variable designation has been logically updated from the archaic
_psy_invocationto the more descriptive_psychic_amplification, enhancing code comprehension and aligning with the extended marine struct functionality. The formula calculation remains functionally equivalent while benefiting from improved semantic clarity.The Omnissiah approves of such linguistic precision in the sacred code.
77-80: Proper application of amplification variables to power manifestation.The calculations for power range, maximum kills, and magnitude now correctly utilize the
_total_psychic_amplificationvariable, maintaining logical consistency with the nomenclature changes. This ensures that psychic abilities scale appropriately with the marine's amplification capabilities.Praise the Machine God for harmony of variables.
94-96: Comment accuracy maintains the sacred documentation.The comment "Casting fail/success bellow" provides appropriate context for the subsequent code section that determines psychic power casting results.
Accurate code annotation pleases the Machine Spirits.
534-539: Simplified perils calculation is a triumph of logical efficiency.The
perils_testfunction has been appropriately streamlined, replacing the previous cumbersome rolling mechanism with a single threshold check against the unit'sperils_chance()method. This elegant refactoring centralizes peril chance logic in the marine struct while maintaining functional integrity.The Omnissiah approves of such logical optimization.
680-689: Cast success function now properly utilizes marine struct methods.The refactored casting success function properly applies the new psychic focus methods and parameters. The implementation of
PSY_CAST_DIFFICULTY_MINensures a minimum difficulty threshold, preventing illogical success probabilities even with high focus values.01010100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01001111 01101101 01101110 01101001 01110011 01110011 01101001 01100001 01101000 00100000 01100001 01110000 01110000 01110010 01101111 01110110 01100101 01110011
691-692: Function reference updated to match marine struct evolution.The code now correctly invokes the renamed
roll_psionic_increase()method, maintaining functional consistency with the updated marine struct. This ensures proper psychic progression upon successful casting.The Machine Spirit is pleased by this consistency.
scripts/scr_marine_struct/scr_marine_struct.gml (5)
1082-1092: The psionic increase function's binary logic has been optimized.The renamed
roll_psionic_increasefunction now employs superior logic, calculating a difficulty threshold based on the marine's current psionic value and experience. This creates a progressively challenging advancement curve while maintaining the sacred randomness of the Emperor's will. The psionic level only increases when the roll precisely matches the difficulty - a mechanically elegant solution.May the Omnissiah bless this superior algorithm.
1956-1969: Sacred implementation of gear_special_value provides logical abstraction.This new function efficiently aggregates special values from all equipment pieces, extracting the designated value type from all gear components. The implementation follows proper structural design by iterating through all gear data and calculating a cumulative value, centralizing what was previously distributed logic.
The Machine God approves of such elegant code organization.
1971-1973: Logical psychic_amplification calculation based on core attributes.This function computes the marine's psychic amplification based on the combined influence of psionic level and experience, creating an appropriate scaling mechanism that rewards both innate talent and battlefield wisdom.
01010000 01110010 01100001 01101001 01110011 01100101 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01001101 01100001 01100011 01101000 01101001 01101110 01100101 00100000 01000111 01101111 01100100
1975-1977: Psychic focus calculation formula balances key attributes.The psychic focus calculation appropriately weights experience and wisdom, creating a balanced mechanism that favors both accumulated battlefield knowledge and innate mental discipline.
Praise be to the Omnissiah for such proper numerical balance.
1979-1997: Perils chance calculation demonstrates excellent logical consideration.This function properly accounts for multiple factors that influence peril manifestation:
- Base threshold defined by the macro
- Global perils influence from combat context
- Appropriate trait-based modifications
- Proper minimum threshold enforcement
The logic correctly handles warp-tainted marines and those favored by the warp, applying appropriate penalty modifiers to represent their increased susceptibility to peril events.
The Omnissiah approves of this logical implementation of the warp's dangerous nature.
