Fortitude allows you to nullify any crew shaken or crew stunned result that was already on the vehicle. So I would say that at the time of Perils and Fortitude going off, the only crew shaken/crew stunned result already on the vehicle are the ones from your opponent's last turn, the chance of getting one from Perils is not already there as you've only got a 2/3 chance of getting it. So simply put you ignore the ones that were already on the vehicle, and then you apply the one you pick up from Perils.

 

As for earlier comments re. being annoyed if you passed the psychic test but then get it reapplied, I feel perspective is needed here. Besides daemonic possession I can think of no other way to simply ignore crew shaken/stunned results, you guys are in a fantastic position to be able to do so, and to only have to pay a very little bit more, especially in comparison to how extra armour costs. And don't forget that if the net result is you lose crew stunned but get crew shaken instead that's not too bad, as it lets you move to a less dangerous location or even deliver your cargo to where it's needed. I think the rest of us need those rare occasions just to cut us some slack!

 

But yeah, looking at the wording the way it looks to me is that you pass on a double 1, you ignore all crew shaken/stunned results you had before you made the test. You then roll for Perils, applying the result but not being able to nullify it if it is a crew effect. Just simply chalk it up to bad luck, and either move out of sight or pop smoke if you still have it. For me, the key word is already and that's how it reads to me.

The exact wording of the power is "any crew shaken and crew stunned results already on the vehicle are nullified". So, how it works depends on the order of resolution. Clearly the first thing is taking the psychic test and getting double 1s. Now... does the glancing hit happen immediately (thus meaning that when you resolve the power, you already sustained the shaken/stunned result from the glance, and thus it is eligible to be removed), or does it happen after the power goes through? I would say it happens after, because a psyker can be killed by perils while still getting the power off... you can't get the power off if the psyker dies first. To me, that suggests that the correct order is: take psychic test, double 1s, remove any crew shaken/stunned, glancing hit.

That's the order I think is correct too, I suppose great minds think alike and all that :tu:.

 

I was totally going to put a high-five smiley guy here, but there isn't one. So just imagine that there is one, enthusiastically high-fiving away.

So a vehicle that gets perils and glance hit may be restunned/ reshaken again?

 

That is what I believe the rules say. The Fortitude power says that when it is cast the vehicle ignores any crew shaken/stunned results it already has. The possible crew shaken/stunned result from Perils isn't affecting the vehicle before the power is cast, it isn't already applied. So you resolve Fortitude on a double 1, where your previous crew stunned/shaken results are ignored, and then you roll for Perils, which could reapply one of those powers.

The INAT FAQ agrees.

 

◊GK.33F.01 – Q: If a vehicle attempting to use

Fortitude rolls double 1’s for its Psychic Test, is the

automatic glancing hit resolved before or after the

power takes effect?

A: Resolve the effects of Fortitude first, then apply the

damage caused by ‘Perils of the Warp’ [clarification].

I'm at work and codex-less :D I didn't know this is against B&C rules and all that stuff since people post the text of rules all the time to hammer out the details :lol:

It's all about "fair use". Asking that the full, entire text of the rules be reprinted in the forum can in no way be considered a "fair use" of GW's copyrighted materials. Quoting portions of the rule to reinforce an argument that is being made is within "fair use". That's the difference.
