Things that may get overlooked in 6th Ed. Rules

[matt_17]

Your psyker is not "a friendly model with a psychic hood" to the enemy unit being buffed, therefore your psyker cannnot use hit hood to prevent that power.

This is RAW.

I take "friendly model with a psychic hood" to mean one I control. You can't use enemy psychers to nullify their own powers. Like I said, its very poor wording. Had they just added the word friendly before the "unit (or model)" no clarification would be needed.

[Jayden63]

I'm just going to breakdown the paragraph as it is.

"Each time a unit (or model) is targeted by an enemy psychic power and is within 6" of a friendly model with a psychic hood, the wearer of of the hood can attempt to Deny the Witch in their stead, as if he were in that unit."

So the first sentence... Each time a unit (or model) is targeted by an enemy psychic power...

This sentence says who is casting the power. The enemy player... thus not me. It also has the stipulation that a unit or model has to be targeted. Powers that don't require targets are ignored. That is all this first sentence tell us.

The second sentence... "and is within 6" of a friendly model with a psychic hood."
Friendly models are my models, thus my psycher. Also the model must have a psychic hood.

The third sentence... the wearer may try to deny the witch in their stead as if they were part of the unit.

This just says that the friendly hooded psycher may try to stop the power. Naturally they never would be part of the enemy unit, nor would the enemy normally want to try and stop their own powre, but being part of the enemy or even on the same side isn't a requirement. There had to be a clarifier as to whos side is the target unit or model in order to say which side the hood had to belong too.

If you can see how this three sentence rule breaks down differently, I'd like to hear it. However, I'm not going to really argue this anymore because the only army I play that has any anti-psycher stuff is SW and Runic Weapons work just fine. But I think this is something others might find interesting.

-
I am reversing my opinion because of something else I've read.

Using a psychic hood is still using Deny the Witch (this is the part I forgot), as such you have to follow the rules for Deny the Witch as well. And under Deny the Witch (in bold print even ) it says "To Deny the Witch, the targets controlling player rolls a D6."

So in this regard, the only people who can roll the dice is the target unit (model) player.



Ahh well, looks like some models just got extremely buff as there is no way to stop/hinder their rampaging anymore.
