So I'm honestly unsure about the wording of the prophet/ champion of ynnead rules.

It says if a model dies than you roll a dice and regain a wound on a 4+. Period. It then says if the model was a psyker/ character (respectively) the character gains another psychic power/ attack.

My uncertainty stems from the separation of the two. Does one need to succeed at regaining a wound in order to trigger the "if the model was a character or psyker" check.

Perhaps I'm thinking too much in coding language but there doesn't appear to be any direct link linguistically between that dice roll and whether or not the model in question was a psyker/ character.

I'm not trying to be gamey and with the stakes being either 1 other power or 2 more attacks maximum I don't think it's going to break my game in any case, it's just been nagging at me.

It seems like it would have been simple enough to say "if you succeed and the model was..." or simply put a comma instead of a period.

You roll for the model dying to regenerate a wound. Then, pass or fail, you move on to the next sentence

The second bonus is independent. It happens regardless, is my reading.

I'm glad that's a common interpretation. That's how I read it but I worry I'm too competitive at times.

Side note the Visarch has quite a bit of synergy with Sslyth.

To elaborate; the size of their base protects him in CC because the enemy is more than an inch away.

Their death triggers his bonus and soulburst, doubling his attacks whenever one of them goes down due to being individual characters themselves.

Yeah, couldn't you do some serious shenanigans with the DE Archon court and Ynnari stuff?

I actually think its implied to be tied to the 4+ roll myself but can see how you can read it as not being.

Each time another aeldari model is slain within 7" of the visarch, roll a d6.

On a 4+, the visarch immediately regains a lost wound.

If the slain model was a character, add 1 to the visarchs attacks characteristic for the rest of the battle (to a max attacks characteristic of 7).

I can see how this can be read as independent of the D6 but if you take out the middle sentence to make the 3rd stand alone, why do I roll the D6? they seem intrinsically linked on the roll for reward
