I was drawing attention to sirlynch stating you take the most advantageous save, which is made up.

Let's all open our rule books to pg 38, models with more than one save. Read the bold print "a model only ever gets to make one saving throw, but has the advantage of always using the best available.

It's a rule, not a lie, I await your apology and concession.

It's in bold even and as were told on pg 4, being in bold is the most important element of the rule, it is the essence of the rule.

Are we making a save at this time? no, we're rolling to wound. while we are rolling to wound we see the target has more than one save, and we follow the rules about having more than one save in the context of when we are using it.

so while rolling to wound, and we are equating the armor save to toughness so we can determine the number needed to wound. At this time the higher the number is better and we use the best available to our advantage. As RAW tells us to do.

Sigh. Again, what does the rule book state is BEST when dealing with saves?

Answer this, then concede.

No apology, as you made up a rule - I quoted it for you so you could be in no doubt - and refuse to back up you rp assertion.

Again, you're quotting rules that don't apply in this situation. What do the rules say about having more than one save?

so I accept your concession as you keep thinking the rules are made up, except for the ones you want to quote.

What is the relevant rule here? the general rule about armor saves, or the more specific rule about having more than one save?

Then back up your assertion that you take the most advantageous save, when th rule states best. And best is defined as lowest

Your refusal to even address this point shows yet again the futility of attempting to honestly debate.

And this is why we can't have nice things. When two posters are both using the "I await your concession" "No, I await your concession" line of argument, a thread has probably done about as much good as it is going to.
