Diving Tackle and Dodge Interactions

[air139]

The Human Catcher is ag 3 and needs to roll a 4 up to dodge into the 1 tackle zone.
He rolls a 5.
The opposing blitzer with diving tackle uses diving tackle giving the roll a -2 modifier.
The dodge would fail with a 3 after the DT modifier.
He uses the dodge skill to reroll the dodge roll.

Does he now need a:

4 up because the DT modifier does not apply to the reroll?
3 up because he is no longer dodging into a tackle zone because the blitzer is prone?
6 up because he the dodge roll was into a tackle zone and diving tackle was used?

When I read the rules I assume it's a six up, but experienced and respected players have told me all different results from this.

I play a slann team so this information is really important to my stratagy.

a quick search on diving tackle would give you the answer straight away:

So to answer your question it's a REROLL for the dodge, not a new action, all parameters apply, and therefore the -2 is still in effect: 6+

Also the diving tackler is NOT prone until the dodge is actually resolved. It's important to read all the bits in the rule.

the -1 zone applies because the DT player is not placed prone until after the dodge is resolved (if used)

I read all the bits, and it's the conclusion I came up with also. It was just a debate with a person who is running a league I am playing in.

if he runs the league he might use his own house rules.

Simply ask him why he assumes that the diving tackle doesn't apply when you re-roll

[Grumbledook]

any modifiers that apply to the first roll apply to the reroll

there are lots of threads on this that will give you the same answer ;]
