Kill Team 2024 Shooting Calculator

S1 & S2 Combined Shots (Kill chance vs W=12)

The average of damage without regard to defender's wounds.

Balanced rerolls 1 die. Relentless rerolls fails. Ceasless rerolls most common fail result (ex: reroll 2s); it's called "ceaseless" in KT2024. CritFishRelentless rerolls non-crits. DoubleBalanced rerolls 2 dice. Ones rerolls 1s ("ceaseless" in KT2021). BothOnesAndBalanced rerolls 1s and then rerolls 1 die that hasn't already been rerolled.

If you have >=1 crit, you can retain a norm as a crit instead. Since a dice can only be retained once, it cannot promote an Accurate or Punishing retention (only a rolled norm).

If you have no crits, you can change a norm to a crit. Because it changes (rather than retains) a success, it can take an already-retained norm such as Accurate. Devastating and Piercing Crits still work, but Punishing and Rending don't.

Attacker crits are retained as norms. No crit-triggered abilities can trigger. Discard an attacker success.

How many attack dice can be automatically retained as a normal success. Much like cover saves but for attack dice. A dice can only be retained once, so these are not promotable by NormsToCrits or Rending ("retain a normal success as a critical success instead"); Severe, which changes a success, can still take one. The rule is "retain UP TO x", so the calculator retains fewer when rolling those dice is worth more (a high crit chance, or a spare promotion that a locked norm would waste), decided before the roll as at the table.

How many saves can be automatically retained as a normal success. A dice can only be retained once, so a cover save cannot then be retained as a critical success: NormsToCrits only promotes saves that came off the dice.

Just a Scratch (JaS): Ignore damage from one attack die, preferring crits.

Just a Scratch (JaS): Ignore damage from one normal hit only (cannot ignore crits).

How many attack dice can be automatically retained as a crit success. Much like cover saves but for attack dice.

How many saves can be automatically retained as a critical success. High enough APx/Px can limit these auto-saves.

How many normal successes can be retained as critical successes instead. Because a dice can only be retained once, this cannot promote a success that was already retained rather than rolled: cover saves, Accurate, or a Punishing fail retention. Rules worded as *changing* a success (Severe, Waaagh) are modeled separately and can take those.

If at least 2 dice fail, discard one fail and change another fail to a normal success; attack only. Note: KT2024 rule strictly requires two unmodified 1s; this calculator triggers on any 2 failed dice, so the benefit is slightly overstated on rolls where fails include non-1 values (e.g. 2s on a 3+ stat).

In the Roll Attack Dice step, retain one of your fails as a normal success, OR one of your normal successes as a critical success. For each roll the calculator picks whichever option yields more damage, after also resolving Rending — so it correctly seeds a crit for Rending, or adds a norm for Rending to promote, rather than always favoring one. Attack only. Note: defender saves and Piercing (Px) are not weighed in the choice. In-game: the "Mystic Scry" ability.

If you have two or more sucesses, promote a fail to a normal success. Imperial Navy Breachers strategic ploy.

HardyX is like Lethal (changes what values give you a critical success), but for defense. Name comes from Intercession Squad chapter tactic Hardy.

FNP is the category of abilities where just before damage is actually resolved, you roll a die for each successful hit (strike). On a roll at or above the threshold, that hit's damage is reduced by 1. Even MWx damage can be prevented via FNP.

Whenever an attack dice would inflict damage, roll one D6 ("1D6"), or two D6 if the operative is INSPIRING ("2D6"); if any result is a 6, ignore all of that attack dice's damage. At most one attack dice is ignored per action and two per battle; a failed roll doesn't use up either cap. Both calculators target the highest-damage hit (crits before norms): Shoot does this exactly, and over multiple Rounds the two-per-battle cap is enforced across the battle; Fight spends the ignore on a strike only when no larger strike is still pending. Note: mortal (MWx) damage is never ignored, matching Just a Scratch.
