Rogue Trader 1.2.0.25 Patch Notes
Abelard, introduce the second gargantuan update 1.2 to the players!
It is the biggest update of the game so far, containing over 2500 changes, about 30% larger than 1.1.
We’ve left out some internal and minor changes and combined some others together to keep the size of these patch notes reasonable. Here’s a glimpse of what to expect:
- Major balance updates - deep rebalance of out-of-sequence turns, buffs to Sanctioned Psykers and Pyromancy, tuning of scaling in the late game, and a lot of other updates;
- QoL changes to the UI - improved inventory sorting, quests being marked on star systems, improvements to the level up screen, better tooltips, improvements to the combat log, and more;
- Various improvements for locations across the game - pathing, visual effects, cover placement, backgrounds, improved NPC appearance and variety;
- New dialogues for secret companions, fixes and updates for existing dialogues, fixes for epilogue slides;
- Improved rumour system with rumour zones now highlighted on the map;
- Updates for some cutscenes - better animations, timing, cameras;
- Improvements to co-op: desync fixes, custom portrait transfer, save file size reduction, up to two additional custom mercenary characters available in Prologue - play together from the start!
- Many new animations;
- New visual effects (for abilities, auras, creature animations, and more);
- New sound effects and corrections to VO;
- New item icons;
- A few new talents;
- Localization improvements and countless typo fixes for all languages;
- A massive amount of bug fixes for all aspects of the game;
- And much more!
Due to the massive changes to the mechanics, all members of the current party in existing saves will receive a special ability, allowing them to perform a one-time free respecialization. The ability will be removed as soon as the party gains access to the usual means of respecialization. Please be aware of the plot spoilers below!

Mechanics
Major changes
- Damage of Ignite pyromancy psychic power was significantly increased. Minimal damage is now 1 + Willpower Bonus + 6 x Psy Rating (it used to be 1 + 5 x Psy Rating). Maximal damage is 2 x Willpower Bonus + 10 x Psy Rating (it used to be Willpower Bonus + 5 x Psy Rating). This affects the damage of Firestorm, Incinerate, and Molten Beam too (as they deal damage based on Ignite damage);
- Minimal damage of Inferno psychic power from pyromancer staves (in all versions - normal, heroic act, and desperate measure) was increased to 2 + Psy Rating. Previously it was 1;
- Inflame pyromancy psychic power now increases the damage of burning by 2 x Psyker's Willpower Bonus (it used to be 2 x Psy Rating);
- Warp Burn effect applied by pyromancy psychic powers now deals 3 + Psyker's Willpower Bonus + 3 x Psy Rating damage (previously it dealt Psyker's Willpower Bonus + 2 x Psy Rating);
- Melting Armour pyromancy talent reduces the target's armour by -5% (was -3%);
- Ignite psychic power description now correctly mentions the fact that the psyker can use MP after using it, despite it being an attack;
- Seize the initiative no longer provides an additional turn to the Offcer, instead allowing the Officer and allies under the effect of the Officer's Voice of Command to deal additional damage to the enemies that have not yet acted in this combat;
- In the Hero's Footsteps now provides a stacking +5 Fellowship bonus when an ally uses a Heroic act and a +5 Toughness bonus when using Desperate measures instead of providing an additional turn;
- Navigator's Reveal the Light power now increases Toughness and Willpower of the target by +10 + 2 x Willpower Bonus (instead of +4 x Willpower Bonus);
- Navigators can no longer use Reveal the Light on themselves;
- Navigator's Blood Augury talent now increases warp damage by +(5 + Perception Bonus)% instead of +(2 x Perception Bonus)%;
- Blood Augury effect can now stack up to 5 times;
- Eye of Oblivion now reduces enemy dodge and hit chance by Navigator's Perception Bonus (instead of 2 x Perception Bonus);
- Eye of Oblivion did not reduce the enemy's dodge - fixed;
- Undam the Sea of Souls now reduces the enemy armour by 5 + Navigator's Willpower Bonus (instead of 2 x Willpower Bonus);
- Mastery of time can now stack up to 5 times and can only stack from extra turns gained by Navigator's allies;
- Killing Edge ability now deals additional damage, which is not modified by other damage modifiers. Additionally, its damage was changed from (Lethality / 7) to (Lethality / 5), and now additionally scales with the percent of the enemy's lost Wounds;
- Several Operative's abilities were re-balanced to give more impactful bonuses at the start of the game, but lower their mid- and late-game scaling;
- Several Pasqal's background talents had their scaling change to give better bonuses at the start of the game, and lower bonuses in the second half of the game;
- Several of Arch-Militant's abilities and talents were changed to give bigger bonuses at the start of the combat at the cost of reducing their scaling from a number of Versatility stacks. This was made to balance the power of Arch-Militants depending on the current turn and the number of synergistic abilities from other companions.
List of abilities and talents impacted by this change:
- Versatility
- Confident Approach
- Adaptability
- Critical Versatility
- Dependable
Additionally, there were several changes in the following abilities:
- Wildfire no longer gives a stack of Versatility with no regard for the type of the previous attack, and now the minimal cost of Wildfire is 1 AP;
- Reckless Rush now always gives 3 stacks of Versatility, instead of a number depending on the current stacks;
- All Out talent (talent for Reckless Rush ability) now allows the Arch-Militant to move after attacks while Reckless Rush is under effect, instead of reducing the cost of Reckless Rush;
- Confident Approach now reduces critical damage by half instead of scaling depending on critical chance;
Also, when the Arch-Militant's heavy weapon attack cost is reduced, it has a minimum cost of 1;
- New talents were added:
Warrior talent - Scissoring Strike
Prerequisite: Break Through
When the Warrior uses Slash with two melee weapons equipped, the Warrior deals damage from both weapons.
Warrior Talent - Easy Target
The Warrior's critical damage is increased by +(10 + 2 × STRbonus)% against enemies not armed with a melee weapon.
Common Talent - Weapon Specialist
Sweep attack of the axes and Shove attack of the maces and hammers cost 1 less action point.
Common Talent - Dual Weapon Specialist
Prerequisite: Weapon Specialist, Dual-Weapon Combat
Using the Sweep attack of the axes and Shove attack of the maces and hammers does not increase the AP cost or reduce the Weapon Skill or Ballistic Skill of another weapon;
Pyromancer talent - Fire Within. It should have always been there before but was not accessible;
- Prerequisites for Psyker Minoris, Psyker Majoris, Psyker Extremis, and Psyker Terminus (talents that increase Psy Rating, were previously named Psy Rating 1-4) were changed. They now require 1 less level for Unsanctioned Psykers and 6 less levels for Sanctioned Psykers. This also means that psykers (especially Sanctioned ones) can take more powerful psychic powers earlier;
- "Horde" enemies always had a penalty to their dodge, but in this patch, we are changing how it is calculated. Their dodge was previously halved after all modifiers. For example, if you had a basic Drukhari enemy with 40 agility, that Drukhari had 30% (base) + 40% (agility) + 10% (nimble, talent all the Drukhari have) = 80% dodge before reduction. You, for example, attack them with someone who has 30 perception and an ability that reduces the target's dodge by 12%. So, that Drukhari had 80%(dodge before reduction) -30%(perception) -12%(dodge reducing ability)=38% dodge chance. This dodge was further halved to 19% by "horde" dodge penalty;
This calculation reduced the effectiveness of all dodge reducing abilities applied to "horde" enemies, so we decided to change it. Now hordes have their dodge reduced by 15% and by a half of their agility (so, exactly by a half of their base dodge chance).
With these changes that Drukhari enemy now has 45% dodge before reduction = 70% base dodge + 10% (nimble) - 35% (half of base dodge, 15% half of base 30 and 20% half of base agility). After reduction it will be equal to 3% = 45% (dodge before reduction) - 30% (perception) - 12% (dodge reducing ability);
- Arch-militant psyker now works far better than before - psychic powers now count as attacks of an appropriate type for the purposes of Versatility Arch-militant feature. Syphon Life, Psychic Shriek, Mind Rupture, Ignite, Incinerate, Purge Soul, and Vision of Death now count as single-target ranged attacks. Psychic Assault, Emperor's Wrath, Lightning Arc, Molten Beam, and Firestorm count as ranged area attacks. Inferno counts as a ranged burst attack;
