Can a chapter master use its chapter master ability or can a tech marine use its Blessing of the Omnissiah with out causing an action they are performing to fail?
|
As an aside, as "infinite" rolls is actually impossible even if the FAQ "allows" it, then it will always be a non-zero chance to pass them all. Eventually the two players will die. If they pass the game on to their decendents, they too will eventually die. And, at the end of it all, the universe will experience heat death and it, too, will die. In the instance of "infinite" hits, we're talking more of functional infinity, rather than literal.
RAW you can't pass the game onto descendants, permissive ruleset. Unless we get an FAQ from GW.

Actions only fail if a unit does a very specific set of actions. BRB, Page 258 wrote:If a unit is destroyed, makes a Normal Move, Advances, Falls Back, attempts to manifest a psychic power, declares a charge, performs a Heroic Intervention or makes any attacks with ranged weapons after it has started to perform an action but before that action is completed, that action is failed. A CHARACTER unit cannot use any aura abilities while it is performing an action (if the action is failed, their aura abilities immediately take effect again).
Using a non-aura ability doesn't cause the action to fail, and neither the Chapter Master or Blessing of the ToasterGod ability are auras both by definition and the fact that auras are now explicitly labelled as such.

So tacking on to the same topic... does "Deny the witch" count as "manifesting a psycic power"? Or can you deny the witch while performing an action?
I'm thinking it doesn't count as manifesting a power therefore can be done during an action?
