relatively new, but not new enough to not understand most of the game. however have been tripped a little on some rule semantics that i'd really like cleared up.
the rules for probability control use the phrasing "reroll one die or dice roll". to me what this says, is that during my turn, if i want to attack (or perform any action that requires the rolling of two dice) and i roll say a 1 and a 6, i could feasibly choose to reroll that 1, keep the 6, and use the new 'die roll' as part of my attack.
some of you might be thinking theres no way to interpret it that way. but pretend you just started playing a few months ago and you read "on your turn you may reroll one die or dice roll" and tell me that that interpretation is not a possibility.
it came up tonight in a game and i was told that what that means is that say i roll for super sense (a die), i could reroll that die if i chose using PC; or if i attack (two dice), i could reroll those two dice with PC. but that for me to interpret it the way i did above was incorrect. my question is why? i don't see how i'm misconstruing whats there. thats how i read it and i don't see why that can't be a way to interpret it.
any help? tell me at least that i'm not crazy for seeing that interpretation?
This is yet another case of WK thinking they have phrased a Power so that it can't be misinterpreted, yet somehow they achieved the opposite result. The way it's worded on the PAC, it's completely understandable that someone might come away with your same interpretation of PC.
Yet again (at least to be prepared for tournament play), a look at the FAQ is a necessary evil to make sure we're completely up to speed on how the powers are 'supposed' to work. The FAQ is where it explicitly states, "Any time PC is used to reroll, all dice used in that roll must be rerolled."
Now, if they could have just included that on the PAC as they should have, no one would run into this problem.
Unfortunately, this was only in the FAQ. They really should have integrated it with the PC text.
You can reroll your rolls on your turn and your opponent's rolls during his turn. Basically, this means you can reroll your attack rolls and his attack rolls, but nobody's Impervious or Super Senses rolls unless they are rolling for Impervious after an Earthquake during their turn. Confusin indeed.

The reason they say "reroll one die or dice roll" is due to the fact that you can reroll BCF damage rolls and Regeneration rolls... Both of which only uses one die...
Oh, and you can also reroll Super Senses on one of your figs who is hit by Energy Explosion splash damage on your turn...
Originally posted by SuperGENE Nope, can't reroll SS unless you are the target of the attack.
What makes you think this? The rule is that you can reroll one of your die rolls on your turn, or one of your opponent's on their turn. This is one of the rare situations in which you'd be rolling super senses on your own turn, but I see nothing to indicate that you're prevented from rolling supersenses, regardless of whether you're the primary target or not. You're still being "targeted" for an attack in that the attack roll is being compared against your defense to see if it hits you.
You can reroll your SuperSenses roll, but only on your turn. The instances of this that I can think of is the already mentioned EE splash damage (one of your figures was adjacent to your EE target) or the retaliatory attack from Galactus.
TRADES. eBay.
An Admin told me that I'm "too smart" for Another Realm. I hold that as a standing order.

I think the interpretation was that a character just can't use SSenses on splash damage at all, because splash is not an attack, just the result of one. In the case of EE, the main target was the one 'succesfully hit by the attack', not the SSenses fig who just happened to be standing nearby.
Whether or not that's a correct interpretation is what I'm unsure of...

Now looking at EE, it seems the splash damage has to use the attack value to determine if adjacent figs are hit... So yes, SSenses would be available in this rare-but-possible situation, allowing PC to be used on SSenses on your own turn once in a blue moon.
