New High Elf Player - Question on the book of hoeth which also links in with Teclis

[LiddellHart]

But this sentence is internally inconsistent. Before the comma it does refer to a roll of only two dice. But after the comma it refers to the same roll and speaks of "includes".

Now the sentence contradicts itself, a grammatical explanation it's not possible. Enter common sense to imagine what was intended.

I feel your pain non-high-elf players, but enforcing this easter egg restriction finds no basis in the rules.

(I'm no HE player either though)

Im a HE player who dont use teclis ( since i cant) but thanks for writing that. Its so clear that the intentions of the errata wasent to make it only a double roll. So hence its not in the spirit of the game.

Anyone enforcing that is just squeezing out any bit of rule advantage he can have over another, by any means.

Oh, I completely agree, don't get me wrong!

Alpha, what do you say that the whole sentence is inconsistense? you can clearly see that it is a typo.

Now, i never play teclis myself,since in a friendly game why should and in comp i cant, but it seems to me that the one thing i hate most about warhammer players is those who take advantage of things that arent meant to be. If i saw someone enforcing this rule then i would call him a cheat, since its a typo in a errata and wasent meant to be that you can only get it with a double dice only, since in the next sentence its read that any dice rolled incoulding a double. And before this errata, it was played correctly.

You hate teclis,and i know he is OP. If you play a friendly, bash on him using it, not going way over to cheat on a typo just to get that edge in a game.

Personally, I'd frown upon people trying enforce the only 2-dice thing. If you don't want to play against Teclis/Book of Hoeth, say so before the game starts, and save both of you some time. Is this some "upmanship" where you get to show off how much better you are by dropping this ruling on someone?
