if you have a rule to reroll 1's or a hit roll that would normally give you a mortal wound, do you get to avoid the mortal wound?

These abilities only care about the final result of the roll. If you re-roll a 1 into a 2-6, it won't trigger the ability. Of course, if you re-roll a 1 into a 1, you take the mortal wound/get slain.

Keep in mind that Plasma is being changed to an unmodified 1 soon, so even if you have a -1 to hit, it won't overheat on a 2. Orks and T'au won't be so lucky for a long time, so will still hurt you more when shooting at blue eldar flyers at night.

thanks

Kustom mega weapons don't need to be changed like plasmas. They already cause a mortal wound on the bearer only with an unmodified roll of 1.

Feel free to shoot with your kustom weapons against -1 to it targets. Of course never give them to anything different than Bad Moons and Deathskullz units. Eventually Freebootas.

to be clear though unmodified doesn't necessarily care about the final result of the roll, plasma with +1 to hit still toast the user on 1's when the rule says unmodified
