So anyways I recently played a 'nid player.

I hit/wound a zoantrope with a H.destroyer and naturally I think it would be dead cause of str 9 to T4 = instakill?

But apparently synapse gives protection from instakills? Is this correct or was the 'nid player wrong? I remember hearing it and thought it was a rumor or something that others WANTED to be implemented but never actually got implemented?

It USED to protect from ID, it no longer does.

The nid player is wrong. Kind of.

If you were playing with the Old Codex, he would be right, as in 4th ed Synapse protected you from ID.

The new codex, however, has no such protection.

The nid player probably was getting confused, not deliberately trying to cheat you.

He's stuck in 4th ed nids. The new synapse no longer grants EW so Zoans are IDable now.

Wow double ninja'd

Ah ok, thanks for clearing that up.
