I decided that I wanted to learn Arma particles and being in a 40k group led me to exploring the making of Psykers. So here we go!
Psyker type Roster:
Pyromancer, ...Done!
Cryomancer, ...Done!
Leukomancer*, ... Done!
Telekine, ... Done!
Telepath, ... Done!
Necromancer.... Done!
Bonus type #1: Beastmaster... Done!
Bonus type #2: Aeromancer... Done!
Bonus type #3: Biomancer... Done!
Bonus type #4: Demonologist.. Done!
*leuk- Proto-Indo-European root meaning "light, brightness." aka a Lightning-mancer
No mods required! But this will be meant for 40k use, so the more 40k assets are loaded, the more will be available in the asset pool.
Numerous custom sound effects for the Psyker powers.
No addactions! Instead the psykers powers are switched between 1-4 keys and 7 turns the psyker's shield on / off
This framework is extensible and can be used to add more powers in the future to each one. Basic plans are:
A simple attack based off of the semi-hidden grenade object "HandGrenade_Stone"
A Close range attack
Other attacks that are effective at various ranges.
Psykers must have no weapon in their hands to use their powers.
Psykers must not be in a vehicle to use their powers.
Elemental powered psykers will emit particles from their hands in tune with their powers.
Psykers get a variable speed bonus depending on their type.
All Psykers are protected by a telekine shield. The strength and regen can be customized by the mission maker. This means you'll need to pew pew them extra in order to bring them down. If the shield is overloaded, the feedback instantly kills the psyker.

Psykers mostly now work on dedicated. Issues left to resolve on dedicated server:
Beastmaster death from above full of jank, but end result appears to work
Necro Abomination stands still most of the time. Investigating.
Necro summoned zombies like to attack each other.
Demonologist summon powers not working as intended, minus the fire demon, that one seems gtg.
