Blood Frenzy and Rightous Fury

By Hadesdrew, in Deathwatch Rules Questions

1. Do rightous Fury work on all damage rolls for that turn? so death from above rolls the two extra d10's, if they are 10's do I get rightous fury? If I roll a 1d5 and get 5 does that count too?

2. If I roll a 1 and get 10 degrees of sucess do I get a rightous fury if I change the 1 to a 10 since it would be considered "to of been rolled a 10" because of the degrees? Same with rightous fury, can I use the degrees of sucess from the roll to see if I even hit with the rightous fury. on the the 1d10 you roll?So I rolled 8 degrees of sucess to see if I hit with the rightous fury, and roll a 3 with the 1d10, can I change the rightous fury to a 8 instead of keeping it at 3?

3. Main question. If I use blood frenzy can I reroll the damage rolls from rightous fury? It says any damage roll, and rightous fury is an extra damage roll. So for example, I roll a 9, hit with rf, roll a 3, choose to reroll, get a 10, hit with rf, roll a 5, reroll, gets an 8, hits with rf, repeats... (I know you can't reroll the reroll but can I do that?)

4. If I reroll damage, do I reroll EVERYTHING that turn? Like the question above would obviously be invlaid if this works this way. So does it work like I reroll that damage rolls for every type of hit. So the sword's damage, death from aboves damage, etc, or does it go reroll anything that did damage this turn. If it works the second way, could I even reroll the rightous fury? Or would I reroll everything from that turn?

Ask if you need me to word any of these better.

Righteous Fury was changed in the errata to come in line with the DH and RT rules. I don't know if the original rule was intended to be the way it was written or if this is a result of FFG crap editing. In any case RF gives you +1d10.

If you are rolling a d5 for damage, you don't get RF if you roll a 5, because you can't roll a 5 ;) . In DW, a d5 is a d10 divided by 2. So you get RF if you roll a 10 on that die.

1: Not the way you are asking. Righteous Fury will trigger from a natural die roll of 0. This can only be triggered ONCE per HIT from the original damage dice rolled irrespective of the number of dice. If you roll 2 extra dice from descent of angels for 3 total dice of damage per hit and you got lucky and rolled three 0s you still only score ONE righteous fury. After confirming fury you roll ONE extra dice TOTAL, irrespective of the number of damage dice or number of 0s rolled for the original hit. If your rightrous fury dice also results in a natural 0 it will trigger another righteous fury, and if this extra-extra dice is also a 0, another fury. And so on until you stop rolling 0s.

I don't know what you are rolling 1d5s for (Marines use 1d10+SB for unarmed in case you didn't know). But IF 1d5s RF, only a natural roll of 0 would do so (so not a 9 which turns into a 5). BUT, I am not inclinded to believe a 5 exactly equals a 10, abiguity can only be answered by rules guys.

2: What?

Degrees of Success has NOTHING to do with Righteous Fury. Period

(I don't have any idea what you are trying to say. You do know Degrees of Success [DoS] is based off of your initial 1d100 roll compared to your stat, there is no additional 1d10 rolling to determine degrees of success. A roll of 40 on 1d100 for an attack with WS 60 gives 2 DoS. DoS has nothing to do with actual hitting, thats the d100 roll.)

3: I'm inclined to say yes, but possibly no. Simply because it is a damage roll.

4: Blood Frenzy's re-roll effect works on each individual hit. You re-roll only the hits you want to re-roll. You do not have to re-roll every hit just to re-roll one. When you choose to re-roll a damage result though, you must re-roll all the dice for that hit. For instance, a damage roll of 3d10 from a single attack with death from above rolled a 9, 1, and 3. If you choose to re-roll you must re-roll all 3 dice, not just the two low ones.
Example: You use Lightning attack and make three attacks hitting with all three. You get an 8, 4, and a 7 for damage results. You decide to re-roll the 4 and get a 9 instead. You do not need to re-roll the hits dealing 8 and 7 as well.

I think he's asking if, if he gets 10 DoS on either the initial to-hit roll (which makes the minimum damage 10) or the roll to confirm RF, it counts as rolling a 10 for damage.

It doesn't., and DoS don't count for determining the RF d10 damage.
