    Warhammer Fantasy Stress Test Poll.

    This thread is for the following problem/rule/conundrum.

    The current rule for surviving killer spells as most folks know is you may take a ward save against spells that allow no save and all models that have access to a ward or mr may use this. Certain parties suggest this is too much and want something different in place. These parties have not exactly offered suggestions as to what. So for a while it was left as is.
    With the just done Alamo a solution was seen to be had. Only characters with MR could use it the MR to survive, the units themselves were not. This seemed a semi fair way for game balance in my mind. It made the big bricks easier to hurt and only characters would have a save against the "or die" spells. But now a voice has spoken up and said that this would doom his regular unit that he uses.
    So with these two camps being heard I will put this decision into the hands of the masses. This rule will be fully decided by you the players for the local region. I ask the following of those who vote or post on this thread.

    1 No thread jacking of any sort please.

    2 Only vote if you have played recently or feel that you fully understand whats going on here. I wish to avoid the just cause logic of the ill-informed.

    3This vote will go on for 14 days giving plenty of time for voices to be heard.

    Lastly understand that at the end of 14 days whatever poll has the most votes wins and will be written into our rules system as cannon. Also like any good political entity there will be a third choice. That choice will be create your own rule to deal with this "problem". If that vote wins those who voted for it will be held accountable for creating a working third option.

    The answer to this poll is keep the rules as is locally, as it offers a good ballance to the overpowered 6 dicing of killer spells.

    The answer to peoples objections to deathstars is that can be addressed by means other than making the game into duelling 6 diced spells. There are many ways to comp out deathstars we could discuss - this push by you and Jordan isn't it.

    If I was pushing I would just put into effect whatever I want. The very fact that I am doing a poll where the players decided their own fate is fact that I am not pushing.

    If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong

    Question: if the mr is just for characters, does that mean that a character's mr protects all characters in that unit? Or will each character need their own mr?

    If you have mr in the unit then all the characters in the unit can use it. The unit itself wont be able to use it. Bare in mind though that the unit and characters will be able to use the MR in the unit for spells that are not of the "or die" nature" IE fireball.
