For the demon codex. Boon of mutation says "no saves apply" does that include invulnerable saves?

**sourclams**

Your target model makes a toughness test on 1d6. They have to roll below their toughness on a single die, or be turned into a chaos spawn. Rolls of 6 always fail for models with 7+ toughness values.

So Warithlords and the DE equivalent are safe from the boon.

Uh, with the exception, as sourclams just pointed out, that a roll of 6 is always considered a failure.

No what im asking is do you get an invulnerable save from boon of mutation?

**lord_sutekh**

No wounding effect, so no save.

**Regwon**

you can only take saves against wounds caused. boon of mutation doesnt cause a wound so you dont get a save against it, just as you dont get a save against Gift of Chaos or that ork guy that can turn you into a squig.

so yes, invulnerable saves dont apply.

**CaptKaruthors**

Nope. You just turn into spawn. Which makes it a great power.

Okay, here's how it works:

Pick a model within range, including independent characters, monstrous creatures, and models in an assault.

That model has to make a Toughness test on a single die. So a Tau fire warrior would fail the test on a 4+. A Space Marine chaplain would fail on a 5+. All models fail on 6+. So if a Wraithlord (T8) rolls a 6, he fails and turns into a spawn.

Since there is no wound, there is no save, armor or invulnerable or cover. If a Chaplain wearing Artificer Armor with an Iron Halo in a Ruined Building rolls a 6, he's spawn-ified.
