Use this Stratagem after you have made a hit roll, a wound roll, a damage roll, a saving throw, an Advance roll, a charge roll, a Psychic test, a Deny the Witch test or you have rolled the dice to determine the number of attacks made by a weapon. Re-roll that roll, test or saving throw.


Is the random d3 or d6 damage for offensive spells eligible for a command reroll?

D3 or D6 Mortal Wounds roll is not a "Damage Roll"

A Damage roll is when you are determining a random damage characteristic. MW's do not have a random damage characteristic. (They just do 1 damage multiple times).


Rules terms glossary P.365 tells us this.

Seems like "D6 mortal wounds" would count as a RANDOM roll, right?

weird.

Is there an FAQ that says directly that you can't reroll psychic damage?

Saying that you can't reroll a damage roll because the damage mechanics work differently doesn't make sense to me.

But it’s not a damage characteristic of a weapon.

This has been covered.
MWs cannot be rerolled.
End.

The amount of mortal wounds inflicted by a psychic power (or a vehicle explosion, or whatever) is not a damage roll. It is a roll to determine the number of mortal wounds inflicted.

Just because it is cosmetically similar (random roll, I lose wounds equal to the number rolled) does not mean it is the same.

MW are individual attacks with a Damage of 1 each, hence not being able to reroll.

The current iteration of the game leaves *some* unreliability! Not everything is rerollable!

Of course it is a random roll, but it is not a "damage characteristic"
