    I mean you can agree, but you are wrong. You are saying a roll and a characteristic is the same thing, that wouldn't hold up in court lol you roll your dice, apply modifiers and compare the result to your save. If your result is equal or higher to your save characteristic you pass. Do in this case a 1 after modifiers passes, so the roll of a 1 currently passes. Then you check if any of those rolls were a natural 1 before modifiers, those fail regardless of modifiers. It's the save of you had a+3 to your save and a 2+ save, a roll of a 1 before modifiers airways fails. There is nothing the warscroll is overwriting

    but now you have to prove that its warscroll abilities and allegiance abilities, not "warscrolls and allegiance abilities" GW loves their ambiguity.

    i read that as anything on the warscroll, and anything in the allegiance abilities section of a book overrule the core rules.

    I am not saying they are the same, im saying the FAQ, as written, allows the entire warscroll, and anything in the allegiance abilities section of a BT to override any rule that occurs in the core rules prior to the section about battleplans

    They do, I don't get your argument, the characteristic doesn't over rule the save tool, they are two different mechanics

    Correct, but nothing is being overwritten, what is your argument?

    no he is attacking the interpretation of the FAQ by addressing its specific wording, you are saying it doesn't apply because of a roll... which is a poor stance to take when you said a roll cant go above a 7 which is blatantly disproven in the core rules

    literally the save of 1 is overwriting the rule that says a 1 always fails

    ok look ill take it step by step.

    warscroll says save 1+ saves
    rules says saves of 1 before mod always fail
    FAQ says warscrolls and allegiance abilities supersede the core rules if the rule comes before the section about battleplans.
    the rules governing saves of 1 failing are on page 7 the battle plan rules are on page 11

    ergo the save of one on the warscroll supersedes the core rule of ones failing

    No it doesn't, you still pass on a 1 after modifications, which is when you compare your result to save characteristic. A roll of 1 fails before modification. Two different mechanics that don't have anything to do with each other. A natural one fails before you compare it to your save.

    Those are two different game mechanics that interact, but otherwise unrelated

    its not about the mechanics my friend. you need to get off that idea... that is not what is being discussed. its about whether or not a warscroll can override the rules. and the simple fact is they do.

    Im not, the faq didn't matter because it doesn't apply in this situation, you may as well be quoting the faq that says the balewind travels with skitterleap

    HOW DOES IT NOT APPLY! IT LITERALLY SAYS "WARSCROLLS AND ALLEGIANCE ABILITIES" OVERRIDE THE CORE RULES

    It is about the mechanics though. Fits a warscroll over rule a core role? Yes. Ok, but a roll of 1 always fails because a characteristic of 1+ has literally 0 interaction with a save roll

    Yes, they do, but the warscroll isn't over riding anything
