Thread: Storm of Magic Truthsayer

    Storm of Magic Truthsayer

    Hey guys, quick query. For the truthsayer in the SoM rulebook, it says "when selecting spells, a Truthsayer can exchange one spell for the Transformation of Kadon instead of the usual signature spell"
    Does this mean he has the option to choose either the Transformation of Kadon spell or Wildform or can he only select Transformation and is unable to select Wildform (since you cant roll it and must choose it).

    Thanks

    It means that he can treat the Transformaton of Khadon as the signature spell, rather than wildform.
    As you cannot roll wildform, he cannot get it unless he is given an ability to know all the spells somehow (wizards tower for example).

    I disagree because it says that he "can" exchange it instead rather than "must" exchange it instead. Since you already have permission to take Wildform as the signature, I think you can take either.

    There is a way through the coming darkness. But to find it we must change.

    We must change and change until Change is our master, for nothing neither god nor mortal can hold that which has no form. Change is the constant that cannot be changed.

    I have the inclination that you can choose either, however I wanted to make certain but I guess its a little open to interpretation.

    I'm not entirely sure. I assume it replaces the signature spell (I can't think of any units off the top of my head who, when rolling for spells, have 2 options for replacement but that doesn't make it impossible)

    Skaven Grey Seers can exchange for Skitterleap or the Dreaded Thirteenth. Of which Skitterleap can be rolled normally.

    I see no issue with the Truthsayer doing the same.
