Paragon or war + genewrought might

[jonjacob]

If a unit rolls a 6 to hit and wound is automatic. How is paragon of war resolved?

[Panzer]

How about some context? What Codex? What do these rules do?

[Interrogator-Chaplain Ezra]

Codex Space Marines:

Gene-wrought Might: 1 CP, Primaris unit in the Fight phase, an unmodded 6 to hit is an auto hit and auto wound.

 

Ultramarines book:

Paragon of War warlord trait: a 6 to wound adds a Mortal wound in addition to normal damage.

Reading the RAW I'd argue as gene-wrought might bypasses the wound roll you haven't rolled a 6 to wound so Paragon of War doesn't come in to effect .

[jonjacob]

Thats what I thought initally but could you could test for 6+ too mortal wound given its additional damage.

[Noctus Cornix]

Gene-wrought might says it's an auto wound, not your wound rolls hit as though they were 6's. 

 

Far as you ask me, gene-wrought might would make it impossible to get any potential mortal wounds  from those hit rolls of 6.

Appreciated.

RAW they don't stack. If you auto-wound you can't roll a 6 to trigger Paragon of War since you skip the whole dice rolling process.

Say you're 3+ to hit

Roll to hit:

any 3s,4s,5s = hit,

6s = hit and wound - Gene-wrought might

 

Now say you're 4+ to wound

Roll to wound:

any 3s,4s or 5s to hit roll

any 4s or 5s = wound

any 6's wound + a mortal wound. - Paragon of War
