A question occured to me

Aun'Va, Master of the Undying Spirit: Roll equal to or over a weapon's AP to ignore wounds? Auto-pass against AP1? And since it technically doesn't count as a save, even fething Destroyer weapons are ignored!

Is this realy a correct interpretation of his Rule?!?

Yes. Its not a save so it isn't even affected by a 6 on the D table

Although almost all D weapons are ap2 so you aren't completely immune to them

Also, since Aun'Va isn't an independent character, for super cheese you can attach O'vesa to Aun'Va so you have a Riptide with a 2+ armor, 5+/3+ invuln, 5+ FnP, and AP+ saves to discard a wound.

Makes no sense in the fluff and the other guy will hate the invincible Riptide, but it is a good way to protect Aun'Va while he does his space magic.

Nope.

"...exactly as if a cover save had been passed"

Roll of a 6 on the Destroyer chart still kills you.

Even if Aun'va was an IC you could join O'vesa to him(just not necessarily the other way around depending on how you are reading/applying the IC rules relic wording)

While it can be argued, I feel it makes it a little better that there isn't any rules contention with O'vesa joining due to how cheesy it can be since it makes it effectively immune to low AP weapons, which usually also have high strength.
