Fleet/Bounding leap on Hormagaunts

[gloomfang]

Just an intrest fact I realised. Bounding Leap lets you roll 3D6 to run. Fleet lets you reroll as many Run dice as you want for a run.

That is 6 chances to get 6 on a D6. So almost always get a six. Assuming you hold a 5 if you get one (Just in case) I can't image Horms running less than 5".

Not a big buff, but I will take it.

I havent hit the table yet but from the sounds of things with shooting I'll take anything that gets me there faster too.

Good catch! Beats rolling three 1s!

[coredump]

Assuming you reroll everything, you have a 66% chance of getting a 6.

I am not going to do the math, but if you ever get a 4 or less, you are having a bad day. :-)

what do you mean by roll as many as you want for fleet? im new

[nurglitch]

It means you can re-roll one, two, or three of the dice that Bounding Leap confers for the running move. Usually you'd just re-roll the 1D6 for running. But Bounding Leap allows Hormagaunts to roll 3D6 and pick the highest.

Because I am anal....

You have less than a 9% chance of getting a 4 or less

With results like that, you can be anal all you want.

I might field some hormagaunts in the my next game just to annoy people with those rolls

Can you re-roll x and y, then z, or would have to re roll x, y, and z all at once.

Example: Roll 3, 2, 5. Re-roll 3 and 2, become 4, 5, 5. Could you then re-roll the original 5 to hope for a 6?

No only one reroll allowed.

hmmm

I agree, it says you get a reroll, singular. You can choose how many dice to use; but only one reroll.
