RE: [FT] WotW #7 Holofields

Did anyone see my suggestion to cover this the other week?

Holofield:
Mass: 10%, cost: 4 x mass.
The holofield ignores all rolls of "6" on the first roll (either to-hit
or
beam rolls).  Rerolls still apply.
ie: beams do 1 pt on 4-5 & none on 6 (re-roll still applies); ptorp /
k-gun
ignores to-hit roll of "6" but will score full damage as normal if hit;
missiles ignore a lock-on of 6 missiles. Area effect weapons (Novacannon
&
Plasmabolts) and missiles after locking on (MT or Salvo) do full damage
as
normal.

The result vs beams can be a little screwy, as reroll damage will bypass
the
armour completely if no other die does normal damage.  But this is
passable,
as the ship isn't where it visually appears anyway.
