Briarsheath and Mortal Wounds

[Thughab]

So i have a question that i posted in the wrong part of the forum. Sorry for that beginner mistake.

So to the question: Because of sylvaneths problem to withstand mortal wounds, i was wondering. If say Bloodletters charge in to a Sylvaneth character that has Briarsheath with -1 to all hit rolls. Does it mean that the rolls of 6 to get mortal wounds becomes a roll of 7? So you can use say a Durthu to knock off massive mortal wound units without being worried of dying before you even get to strike.

The Forum is correct.

And the explanation should also be correct. But it's better to put modification on the roll, not on the value you require to roll.

In this case, with a modifier of -1, all rolls of 6 will become 5. After the Ability needs a 6 to trigger, it doesn't. So yes, unless the unit has also a +1 buff the bloodletters ability won't trigger.
