Iron Arm and Doom

[eldar88]

How does Iron Arm interact with the doom, as his Psychic Strength rule states "his S is ALWAYS the same as his Ws", so would that mean he'd gain D3 S and therefore Ws or just D3 S (and of course Eternal Warrior)

RAW, IA would increase his wounds.

[infornography]

I disagree. RAW, IA has no effect on strength. Order of operations, multiply, then add, then set. In this case the rule that the Strength equals the wounds is setting it, so you would get the +d3 strength, then lose it immediately when the strength is set to the wounds.

Ah, but the Doom's Strength is X in the codex, where X = number of Wounds, so wouldn't it be a base characteristic rather than a set modifier?

[Jabberwocky]

I would agree X is the base, not a modified amount.

[glassiya]

and if you rolled IA on Doom, STR bonus will be the last thing you'll think of.

Wait, would that mean if his strength gets boosted, then his wounds are higher, however once his strength falls back down his wound value would pull it back up? Or would it fall back down as well?

S is based on W, not the other way around. His wounds only change when wounded, or when he wounds something else.

S changes when W changes, or when something affects S.

^ This.

If you try to make it mutually modifiable then the numbers go all wonky fast. Strength is tied to Wounds, not vice versa.
