If i have a rule that has additional bonuses if my wound or hit roll is in a certain range, say 4+, and i give my unit +1 to hit, does that mean that now rolls of a 3 also trigger the bonus effect? I know -1 modifiers trigger stuff like overheating so just wanted to check.

A physical roll of 3, yes. But the roll is modified to a 4 and thus triggers. If the effect ignores modifiers it will say an "unmodified roll of x".

Yes.

Bare in mind that if an ability triggers on a 6 specifically, it will not trigger on a 7. There is no rule to count a roll above 6 as a 6, even though there is a rule to count a roll below 1 as 1.

Do you mean an unmodified roll of 6? Because i'm sure thats allowed with Rolls of 6+. For example, I use tau stratagem focus fire on a target (getting +1 to wound), and fire at the target with rail weapon (extra mortal wounds at 6+). Which will trigger at 5+.

He is saying that if an ability triggers only on a 6 (and not an "unmodified 6"), not a 6+, then +1 to hit won't help since it will be a 7. AFAIK there aren't any effects like that and the ones that interact with overwatch specifically call out working on specific numbers (such as the Mordian trait).

Maybe there aren't any, in which case it would irrelevant!

But yeah, keep an eye out for the '+' to be sure.
