kay, so i just finished looking at the chaos warriors book while kitting out my sorcerer lord, and i was reading infernal puppet. it says you may modify any roll on the miscast chart by D3. the example shown simply shows addition or subtraction. however, the term modify does not explicitly limit the puppet's uses to addition and subtraction. i checked the FAQ, but couldn't find any thing on it. i also searched through the forums, and still no topic regarding this, so either everyone understands this already and i am just now seeing it or i just broke an item (which i doubt)
basically fellow dakka-neers, riddle me this: if my opponent rolls a 9 on the miscast table, and i roll a 6 on my D3, resulting in the ability to modify his result by 3, can i divide/multiply the result of his roll?
it just doesnt seem right for the price of a 35 point item. especially when paired with the lore of Tzeentchs Pandemonium, or the ability to use it on myself. "i rolled a three? hm, guess i'll just multiply by 3, get a 9, and lose all the power dice i already used casting this spell. lolumadbro?"
does anyone have an answer?

Modifying a dice roll is either via addition or subtraction. Check pg 7 under Modifying Dice Rolls.

The rules are actually pretty straightforward. It says you can modify it up to D3. Modifying (as defined by the BRB) is the act of adding or modifying a roll, and since that's what your doing, your unable to divide/multiply.

As scarecrow said, it works really well with the spell pandemonium.

Modification is addition and subraction, not multiplication or division, if that's what you were thinking, as that would be very, very broken.

Agreed.
