Doing a quick cursory check of Scarlet Witch and Black Cat's tests, it doesn't seem to have come up.

Hmm, so getting into definitions, the automatic skulls would still be considered attack dice, right?

The clearest thing would be to tweak the language to mention all "rolled attack dice that show skulls" but that sounds kind of silly and is redundant the majority of the time.

Maybe just an FAQ that specifies it only applies to rolled skulls?

[Karat]

I'd say no as well. An auto-skull is really just adding a skull, not a die, to whatever has been rolled.

I agree with Ronin. Auto-skulls haven't been rolled so they can't be re-rolled.

No, they're just skulls added to whatever the dice show.

[Ronin]

I don't think auto-skulls would count as dice. Dice show skulls, but skulls aren't dice.

I'm fine with an R&C, though.

[Yodaking]

I concur with the others, auto-skulls are not rolled dice but skulls added to what was rolled, thus they can't be re-rolled but if they were they would still end up as skulls on the re-roll since you are adding skulls not dice.

[japes]

I've never re-rolled autoskulls for mind of the other two figures she's based off.

[IAmBatman]

Cool. Thanks for the clarifications. My use of dice to mark the auto skulls is probably what had me confused here.

[japes]

updated cards to take away SS.

also..double post from Mammoth...

OK so per the discussion in Psimon's thread and dok's comments I'm redistributing the points. They play fine as a team so I'm not changing the totals. I took 20 off of Mammoth and added it to Jinx. dok thought Mammoth could come down 30 but I'm going to error on the side of caution with Mammoth. If Psimon pushes up a bit higher for the team than I want I'll likely move 10 points from him over to Jinx.

So it looks like there was a big debate over whether or not Jinx Field should affect SAs...but it's always been my understanding that SAs are exempt from being affected by special powers. From the SotM rulebook;

Special attacks can never be modified by Glyphs, other special powers, or height advantages.

Other than that, EPB cleared.

[Lazy Orang]

In the bio 'magical effects' is an odd choice of words in this context. 'Magical abilities' would read better, IMO.
Otherwise cleared.

I'd actually argue that it does affect SAs as you are not modifying the SA but rather causing the dice used in the attack to be rerolled.
