Please correct me if I am playing this wrong.

Lets assume a Warp Charge ("WC") 2 power is being cast.

The WC Pool has enough dice for the hypothetical

Casting Player chooses to roll 3 WC dice and successfully rolls 2 WC Points

In order to dispel/nullify the power, the defending player must roll (a) one 6+; or (b) two 6+?

All this time I thought the answer was (a) one 6+. But while watching MWG.com VBatReps, I noticed Matt always requires that all the successful WC points are dispelled.

Which is it?

You must negate all passed rolls.

In order to Deny, every successful WC must be nullified.

This means, if your opponent has 6 successes, you need 6 Denies to nulify the power, regardless of WC cost.

You must roll successes equal to the number of success your opponent rolled so B

B you must roll 2 why on earth would it be 1?

If each successful DtW subtracted from your opponents successes then you could reduce them to below the required number of warp charges needed to cast with just one 6 on DtW

But that is not how how it works because that a dumb way to do it because it basically makes it the same probability of denial regardless on how hard it is to cast the power.

I assumed this was the case for a while until I went back and re-read.

My logic was that since you needed to harness equal to, or above, the number of warp charges for the power, anything that brought you below that number would cause it to fail.

Attempt to cast WC 2 power - Harness 3 WC - Opponent denies 2 WC - Only 1 WC remaining means you can't cast the 2 WC power.

Obviously it's completely wrong and not how the game works, but it certainly made sense in my head! I actually have YMDC to thank for it, so kudos to the masses.

Wow I, and just about everyone i've ever played, has played this rule incorrectly. And the implications are humongous. No wonder no one was ever able to get powers off!!!

Thanks Dakka
