The rules for re-rolls state "You can never re-roll a dice more than once, and re-rolls happen before modifers (if any) are applied." The Command Re-roll Stratagem states "You can re-roll any single dice."

If I roll for a charge, then use a command re-roll on one of the charge dice, how does a rule allowing me to re-roll the charge distance (For example, the Ork rule ’Ere We Go!). Does the ’Ere We Go! not work anymore since I can't re-roll twice, does it let me re-roll the dice that wasn't already re-rolled or does it let me re-roll both dice regardless?

In 7th you could reroll a single die and then the entire pool if able

"You can never reroll a dice more than once"

So if you roll a charge, two dice, you could re-roll using command point one of the dice but not both, due to the specific wording of the cp reroll of "single dice".

You then may never reroll that dice.


Hypothetically you could re-roll the other dice from ere we go, but ere would go already allows you to reroll either or both of the dice so it's rather a silly hypothetical.

’Ere We Go! doesn't say you can reroll individual dice.

Rerolls "some abilities allow you to Rerole a dice role, which means you get to rerolls some or all of the dice". My group have been interpreting that to mean that if you could rerolls one dice in a test you could reroll them all

Command reroll any single dice -meaning some or all the dice

You cannot use Command Reroll to reroll multiple dice

single dice!

that means just one dice!

people seem to bend the rules to there own advantage.

learn to read people.

Rerolls "some abilities allow you to Rerole a dice role, which means you get to rerolls some or all of the dice". -> it is just an explenation on WHAT re rolls mean. not on how you take them.

Well, some of the confusion may come from "dice" being PLURAL and DIE being singular. So a "single dice roll" could mean 2 dice.

I say "could" because you obviously can reroll a single die. I think they used the plural in favor of "a single die or dice"

EDIT: Or they meant the "concept" of rolling dice, which is almost always used in the plural.

GW uses 'dice' to mean 'die'. It's tricky right now because many writers (and readers) accept that dice can be used as a singular. Strictly speaking, that's wrong, but if enough people do it, it becomes right.

yes it does, its on page 178 of the main book. If you are allowed to reroll a dice roll, you can choose all or some of the dice.

It says "Some rules allow you to re-roll a dice roll, which means you get to roll some or all of the dice again."

It does not mean that ALL the rules that allow you to re-roll allow you to re-roll all the dice. Some of the rules allow you to re-roll a single die roll (like the command point) and some allow you to re-roll all the dice rolled (like 'Ere we go!).

No, it deals with what a re-roll is. and it clearly says that you can re roll either all of not all of the dice when you're allowed a re roll. ere we go would need to specify both dice to over-ride this, in the same way that command point specifies one die. There's a thread about this on the forums already.

That is standard British English and is present in many European game rules. Dice, like sheep, is both the singular and plural.

I'd agree with you if it did indeed say a single dice roll, but it says a single dice.

Which is one dice.
