the weirdboy rolls a 1, and the book says 'resolve the frazzle psychic power centered on the weirdboy'.

i also know that the weirdboy can replace his leadership with the number of orks in the squad, as per mob rule, even for psychic tests (up to 10).

so here's the idea: if the weirdboy rolls 'eadbanger, he'll have to roll a psychic test to see if he does it first, as it's a psychic power being resolved. if the wierdboy was in, say, a unit of gretchin with 2 runtherders, could he elect to use a leadership value of 3 (the number of orks in the unit) and so almost guarantee failing the test, nullifying the result? this could also work on a small mob of meganobz, who can work in small numbers, to remove results you don't want, like 'ere we go after you've lined up a charge.

thoughts?

You need to pass the Psychic test before you roll on the chart.

The Psychic test is taken before rolling on the table to find out which power you get (page 37 Ork Codex).

Not to mention the fact that runtherds don't have mob rule IIRC?

i just checked, they do in my dex, though the ork dex used to have errors in, so it might be my old one.

Yeah thought it was FAQ'd. Could be wrong.

Just checked.

Ork Codex FAQ p.1 says:
Page 50 and 100 – Runtherds.
The special rules ‘Waaagh!’ and ‘Mob Rule’ should be deleted
