When Ozo is in the smoke, receives penalities? I ask that because the combat pack say that Ozo uses his highest values always

(sorry for bad English but I'm not English)

"Any character on a circle filled with somke can only attack targets in adiacent circles. Furthermore, such characters roll two fewer dice on attack roll."

Rules of play revisited edition, pag. 23

So, in a circle filled with smoke Ozo roll 2 fewer dice using his best combat value (if equiped with combat pack): "Supernatural Strength" allows to ignore wound penality during attack.

Thank you very much
