In the prologue of Rogue Trader, you’ll need to make an important choice regarding your beliefs. This choice will be between Iconoclast, Dogmatic, and Heretical. Also known as convictions, this will set up what type of Rogue Trader your character will be. Will you believe in the value of human life and freedom? Pick Iconoclast, or will you put your beliefs in the holiness of the God-Emperor and its laws? Then Dogmatic is your choice. Finally, you have Heretical. Pick this if you want to devote your time, and beliefs to corruption and the taint of the Warp. These choices are not only tied to your character as a whole, but you’ll get different abilities based on your choice, equipment which can only be equipped by your conviction as well as the ending being tied to it. Read on to find out all the choices which grant you Iconoclast experience, and all the abilities you can unlock with it.
Iconoclast is one of the three convictions you can choose with the other two being Dogmatic, and Heretical.
What is an Iconoclast in Rogue Trader?¶
Iconoclasts believe in the value of human life and freedom. Faith in the power of goodwill, capable of overcoming horrors and dangers of the universe without the need for artificial prohibitions. The desire to seek out common ground and compromise rather than uncompromising destruction.
All Iconoclast Abilities¶
Here, you’ll find every ability awarded to you every time you rank up your Iconoclast level. There are five ranks in total, each with unique skills. Iconoclast can be leveled up by selecting the [Iconoclast] choices in dialogue at every given opportunity.
| Rank | Exp Needed | Conviction Feature | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rank 1 - Follower | 15 | Above the Thundering Guns | The Rogue Trader and two random allies start combat with temporary wounds equal to (their own resolve). |
| Rank 2 - Adherent | 75 | Master of Command | In the first round of every combat, the Rogue Trader and their allies gain +(2+ Rogue Trader’s Iconoclast rank) additional MP. |
| Rank 3 - Votary | 150 | Courage and Steel | The Rogue Trader and their allies need 30 less momentum to activate a heroic act. |
| Rank 4 - Fanatic | 300 | Transcend the Potential | Once per battle the Rogue Trader may choose an ally. The target ally may immediately use their heroic act without spending momentum. Not applicable to allies whose heroic act is on cooldown. |
| Rank 5 - Zealot | 600 | Excellence | Any attacks from allies that may hit other allies will be dodged if possible. Any allied ability that may target an ally and has a resistance test will be resisted by allies. |
(1 of 5) The first ability you’ll unlock at rank one is “Above the Thundering Guns” which allows allies to start with temporary wounds.
