Hey folks!

Another newbie question:

1. Auspex Scan modified hit rolls to be -1.
2. HQ allows rerolls of 1s.
3. I roll some hit rolls of 2, which are modified to 1s.

Do those dice reroll?

Nope. Rerolls happen BEFORE modifiers.

A general rule of thumb is to look for the "+" sign in from of the number. If the number has one (such as: hit rolls of 6+) it means that it is affected by modifiers. If there isn't one, it is not affected by modifiers.

Most HQs that I can think of do not have the "+" sign on their rerolls, so you would not be able to reroll anything other than a natural roll.

EDIT: Also as mentioned above, rerolls before modifiers.

From page 178 of the main rulebook:

... re-rolls happen before modifiers (if any) are applied.

So if the dice showed a '2', it would not be re-rolled because its not a '1' when you determine what can be re-rolled.
