Let's say my GUO melee attacks hit, then wound on a 2+ because of high strength. Is the poison reroll at 2+ or the 4+ set by his poisoned rule? The way I read the rule it's 2+ but multiple opponents have said it's at 4+.

The key part of the Poisoned rule (p169) in this instance is "it always wounds on a fixed number {...} unless a lower result would be required," (emphasis mine).

You would also get to re-roll fails of that roll, due to the last sentence of the first paragraph.

Yep, but what do you need to roll the second time?

Ah, ok, I think I misread your first post. I see the issue now.

A re-roll is always just the same roll again. Barring BS6+ or some tournament-specific rules the roll will always have the same target number. You literally just pick up the dice and roll it again, almost completely ignoring the first roll. So the re-roll will need a 2+ if that's what the first roll needed.

Truth, in case a 2nd vote of confidence was necessary for the clear distinction of the rules.
