We had a game with an [mwcard=MW1C18]Gorgon Archer[/mwcard] with 4 weak on her, and therefore only rolling one die.

So do you need to score hits for the weak effect to get through or..?

(and where can i find it in the codex?)

To the best of my knowledge it'll still go off. I looked this up last week and didn't see anything that said otherwise. If I'm wrong though I'm interested in getting an actual ruling.

The effect roll is separate from the damage roll. If they have a defense they avoid the whole attack, but once dice are rolling it doesn't matter what the damage roll and the effect roll can still succeed.

See additional effect on page 25 of the MW Core Rulebook.

Tx. for the fast reply.

We did play it like that.

So after being hit by her own arrows , and weakened - twice - to the point of exhaustion, she finally managed to weaken that evil Warlock  :P
