Shadow Field And FNP

I'm not sure shadow field can stay up with feel no pain I'm hearing some battlecasters say yes and numerous others while I'd like to believe it my roomie looked up the rules and it seems pretty clear you cant. You can only get feel no pain if you suffer an unsaved wound, and shadow field is disabled after you suffer a unsaved wound. Feel no pain never says that it reverses this , just that you end up avoiding the wound. Help a Archon out, am I missing something here, or is this just a matter of which way you bend the words?

the important part of the shadowfield rules is "deactivated at the end of the phase" in which the wound is suffered. So, if you take the wound but you save it with FnP, it's all ok. It's just a matter of grammar and cause effect. Trust not the "nay-sayers". If you save the wound with FnP the wound cannot be "unsaved"!

I actually just continued reading the rule with my roommate and it does indeed work with FNP, which is good because my dice love rolling 5's. Thanks for the quick reply though.

Yeah, the pertinent phrasing, is that a successful FNP roll makes it as though 'the wound never happened'.

So, basically it warps time, and no Shadowfield save was ever failed.

agreed, the wording of the FNP rule even goes so far as to say if you pass your FNP, 'the wound is discounted - treat it as having been saved' and the shadowfield specifies the end of a phase in which the bearer suffers an 'unsaved wound'.

I like this very much! Think i might try to get my Archon near my Cronos for a 4+!

WOW. Never realised this. There's some incredible wording in this book, haha! I just saw the splinter rack cock-up, creased.
