Changes

Force weapons take the form of swords, spears or other close combat weapons. Within the structure of the weapon is interwoven a powerful psi-convector, formed into a precise serpentine shape which concentrates and directs psychic energy. This sometimes appears as a pattern on the blade. If a non-psyker takes up such a weapon it functions as a standard weapon.{{Fn|4}}

The basic '''force weapon''' is used by psykers of all races, often taking the form of a sword, axe or staff.

'''Force rods''' are black rods of alien origin which act as psychic batteries. Psykers may store their psychic energy in the rod to be used in the future, giving the individual an additional source of energy in combat. The rod is used as a normal force weapon in combat, but the wielder may draw the stored psychic energy from the rod to increase the power of the attack.{{Fn|4b}}{{Fn|7}} Force rods are in some ways analogous to [[Null Rod|null rods]].
