So I'm outfitting my chaos army and I see the "Aura of Dark Glory" in the chaos rewards. Considering how the Daemon Prince already has the "Daemon" special rule granting a 5+ invulnerable save, would adding this reward do nothing at all or does it stack with the invulnerable save the daemon has naturally making a 4+?

It'd do functionally nothing. (your daemon would have 2 5+ invulnerable saves; but you'd only ever be able to roll one, basically)

Good to know, thanks!

It gives you a backup to shieldbreaker rounds IIRC

Other than that, agreed.

I believe shieldbreaker rounds (if we are both talking about the vindicare assassins' special rounds that is) only work on invulnerable saves provided by wargear, so the daemon-USR one shouldn't be effected. (not sure if chaos boons count as wargear, but i suspect the answer is 'no' there too.)

Ah, yep for some reason I was thinking both were wargear.

So the only way to effectively remove them would be the GK power that removes "boons" and the Vindicare good to know I guess

Yeah the 'Dark Excommunication' power should work against the 'Aura of Dark Glory' i believe.

It isnt a daemonic gift, so no.

Honestly I was about to go and fix my post.

You back home yet?

Yep, have been for a couple of weeks - LOVED SE Asia, in the main. Phnom Penh was amazing

Is there a specific definition of 'daemonic gift' somewhere that i've up to this point been missing? as a 'chaotic boon' is pretty close. (in concept at least)

Page 27, and 73-76 of C: Chaos Daemons.
