Can multiple Loci of the same tier be used at once in the same unit?

The Loci rules on pg67 state that in units of multiple loci the strongest takes effect. If there are two loci of the same tier, you choose which applies.

For example, if I have 4 Heralds with Loci of Change, can I roll 4d6 and pick the STR of the unit?

Nope, it does state in the rules for them the highest locus only takes effect, if the two are the same then you chose which takes effect so you cannot chose all four.

Ha! Cute idea. But no - you have to make the choice before rolling.

I don't have my rule book handy, is it actually worded like that or is that your interpretation of the rule?

If you have multiple Loci of the same grade, you choose which one to use. The Loci of Change adds d6 to Strength. Rolling that d6 is part of using the Loci, so comes after choosing which Loci to use.

The reason it doesn't stack is because even though you have 4 Loci of Change, by rolling 1D6 to determine the unit's Strength you have satisfied the criteria for all 4 Loci.
