8th Ed. Bloodroar against fearunits

[Zwuppie]

I was wondering, and discussing a lot.., if i give my carnosaur Bloodroar and i play against units which cause fear, the rulebook tells me that terror against fear becomes fear.. So against fear units they have to make a fearcheck without the 3D6 because thats only against terrorchecks if i'm right.

Am i right when i say that Bloodroar don't work against Fearcausing units..

Yeah, that's how I would play it. So even if it is Terror that allows the opponent's Fear causing unit take the Fear test, it follows all the rules for the Fear.

Sometimes it helps to read the rule as its said in the book guys


"Bloodroar:
Enemy units must roll an additional D6 discarding the lowest result, for leadership tests to resolve Fear or Terror effects caused by this beast."


Terror towards unit with "Fear" becomes a "Fear" effect instead.... Bloodroar states that Fear effects caused by the carnosaur is also resolved at an ekstra D6.

So there you go: he rolls 3 dice and removes the lowest.

Well, i've read them once and never before amd what i remembered was that they had to roll an additional dice and discard the lowest for terror, but thanks!!

Oops, yeah, should have checked the book before answering. Sorry about that. But if that's how the rule is written, then it's self-explanatory. Thanks for clearing it up!
