    What's with the confusion with the water tight rules?

    ...mmm
    It could be, yes. But given the old faq i doubt GW wanted to reverse their previous ruling.

    Page 16, rule 14.5

    RAW scaly skin will reduce damage inflicted by mortal wounds if it's from a single source, like a d3 or d6 mortal wound spell. That's how I'll be playing it until they faq it, but I don't think a faq is required

    Scaly skin reduces damage only from attacks, not from abilities or spells, I think.

    Scaly skin only reduces damage if the special "Coalesed Seraphon get to use their subfaction abilities" are part of the chosen battlepack. /s

    This language is identical to how it was in 2.0. The faq isn't an errata so it no longer existing is irrelevant to how we should be playing this rule. Designers commentary clarifies intent and since 3.0 uses the same wording as 2.0 and in 2.0 they clarified it doesn't, it also wouldn't in 3.0 with or without an faq.

    You'd be correct if it was an errata but it was not.

    Just curious then, what was the reasoning behind it not working? Because it seems as though it should based on the rules

    GW for whatever reason separates mortals and regular damage quite a bit. There wasn't really an explanation with the original designers commentary.

    GW just inexplicably decided to seperate damage cause by attacks with weapons from damage caused by everything else. Even if fluff-wise it's the exact same thing. Like the stegadon crushing stomps and unstoppable stampede, both of which are literally just a stegadon trampling on you. But only one of these two would be affected by scaly skin cuz reasons...

    I don't think they've ever actually given a reason for it other than just "cuz we say so"

    Regarding scaly skin and MWs, @Putzfrau explained it better:

    Well that's disheartening. Haven't played any games yet so can't say for sure, but it seems like KC got hit pretty hard with some of the general rules changes (coherency, CA restrictions, etc) so I was hoping the scaly skin was buffed. O well, thanks for clearing it up

    Ok so people are discussing the mortal wounds being affected by scaily skin. Would someone please link the errata/faq/designers commentary that shows if it does/does not get influenced by the scaily skin rule?

    As someone that has not actually played a game or had a proper look at anything till this edition that has been announced, I currently cannot find any rules that say scaily skin does not reduce mortal wounds.

    Bruh if you can't find the FAQ cause it was deleted, then I'm only obeying that rule once they reupload it to make it easy to find.

    Faqs don't change rules. So it not existing doesn't change how the rule would be played.
