First the RAW examples of both.

Take Aim!: Re-Roll hot rolls of 1 for all models in the ordered unit until the end of phase.

Shrouding Spores: Your opponent must subtract
1 from hit rolls made for ranged weapons that
target <HIVE FLEET> units (excluding MONSTERS)
whilst they are within 6" of any <HIVE FLEET>
Venomthropes. In addition, your opponent must
subtract 1 from hit rolls made for ranged weapons
that target <HIVE FLEET> MONSTERS whilst they are
within 6" of any <HIVE FLEET> Venomthrope units
that contain 3 or more models. Increase the range
of both these effects to 9" whilst this unit contains
6 models.


How do these two interact?

A. All 1's and 2's are treated as 1's and are thus re-roll-able.

B. All 1's become 0 and all 2's become 1's, thus only 2's are re-roll-able

C. Only truly rolled 1's are re-roll-able, the 2's are not re-rolled

C. First faq for 8th clears it. You reroll first, then modifiers

From 'Re-Rolls' (page 185 of the main rulebook, emphasis added):

Some rules allow you to re-roll a dice roll, which means you get to roll some or all of the dice again. You can never re-roll a dice more than once, and re-rolls happen before modifiers (if any) are applied.

What they said. Additionally zero is not a possible result. Results of less than 1 count as 1.

Why is this a poll? The rules are not a democracy. The rules are explicitly clear and have been from day one.

Are they intuitive, I would say not, because it's been over a year and people are still confused about it despite the rules being clear and FAQs being released.

Maybe it’s a poll because the OP thought those were the logical options? And whilst it’s clear to you just maybe it wasn’t to them? Best to assume positive intent and be polite.

Thanks for clarifying!
