Block/push triggers perils of the warp death

Issue Description (Required):

Twice now I have been downed while at high peril and blocking or pushing. Probably caused by kinetic deflection which is not supposed to trigger at critical peril.

What weapon u use?

[Lt.DavinFelth]

Kinetic deflection does not trigger at max peril. Unfortunately, pushing (not blocking) with any force sword “costs” 4-6 points of peril. If you try to push while at max, you will blow up.

It’s been forever this way. You have to watch peril and only block. If you push on reflex - you know what happens next. It’s not a bug I’m afraid.

Considering the push was nerfed to hell and back, there is no real reason for it to cost peril. Nor a reason why they couldn’t code it to not push, or push weaker, at critical peril.

[Gideon404]

A psyker also generates peril if they use the push special with a laspistol.

I don’t really see it as a bug but it blew apart some of my early attempts at scrier’s gaze builds.

[MarxistDictator]

push doesn’t cost peril with force swords, this was fixed in the ‘early access’ beta. only empowering the sword and a successful push follow up attack cost peril. as noted above the only remnant of this move is the las pistol push (which is apparently broken on the kantrael X, dunno I would definitely not use it on freak).

@Fatshark_Hedge

We included the missing piece of the initial Psyker balancing, namely the Force Sword push. We’ve removed the peril cost of pushing along with a slight range nerf. Peril cost is still there on the push follow-up, though, which should help to balance its ability to ignore the stagger reduction.
