<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "New DE question"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/93.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net New DE question DE book that makes your opponent take a LD test on 3d6.

What do you think would happen if you used it against the Lizardmen, would they just get the 3, or would they roll 4d6 and discard the highest. This hasn't actually come up yet in a game for me, but would just like to get opinions before it does.

Thanks.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/215487/342778.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/215487/342778.page GMT Re:New DE question Ld rules. -K]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/215487/342827.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/215487/342827.page GMT New DE question 3d6 and discard the highest. I think the DE item would prevent the lizardman player from discarding the highest die.

In all due respect, armybook overrules armybook. The Lizardmen would get 3d6 minus the highest, but the Dark Elf comes back and says No and you have take it on 3d6 [no removing the highest].]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/215487/346379.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/215487/346379.page GMT New DE question
No, one army book does not overrule another army book (unless it is more specific, and directly applicable).

For example, how about that item versus the Dwarf rune that allows a Ld test on 1D6?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/215487/346416.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/215487/346416.page GMT New DE question Crystal of Midnight; it is one use only, it can only be used against wizards, and failure to pass the Ld test results in the loss of a spell for the rest of the game.

So dwarfs have nothing to worry about.


1) The Crystal forces a wizard to take a Ld test on 3d6 (not 1d6 higher than normal, so none of that 4d6 stuff).

2) A Lizardman wizard may be forced to take his Ld tests on 3d6, but that is just forcing him to do something he does normally; then cold-blooded allows him to discard the lowest result.

The more I think about this, the more I feel that this item will have no effect against lizardmen, after all.

[Edit:] Did I say discard the lowest? I meant the highest.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/215487/346557.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/215487/346557.page GMT New DE question
In the future, however, I would ask you to refrain from good logic. :}

Well, at least we have a banner seeped in their blood... Thats something goin our way!
