Clarification of "If a die leaves the army before its results are used, or a die enters the army after the roll, that die has no effect on that roll."

Is "on that roll" referring to any individual rolled die result or to fully calculated roll in its entirety?

I'm sorry for not remembering the current ruling on cantrip but: if rolling for a non-maneuver, non-melee roll and getting Cantrip, can you use it to bring back a single dead unit and immediately roll that unit to add its roll to the over all "not-yet-resolved" action roll?

Or is this stating that any die entering the army after the initial action roll well not effect the total calculation?

Since we have already moved past the point of rolling dice the newly added die does not get rolled. There are a few abilities such as Regeneration that specifically says to roll that die so that is why it does get rolled. The Resurrect dead does not say to roll so we don't.

It's the latter.

This is a reversal from the way this resolved in 2.x.

There were some fiddly exceptions and exceptions to exceptions, etc. that caused some issues when units entered or left an army.

So there is now a very specific point in the turn sequence where dice are rolled (and re-rolled) and thus can contribute their results. Any die that doesn't roll can not contribute.

does that help?

We are currently looking at both the calculate results and die modifications sections to see if they can be made more clear and intuitive.

That does help and seems very fair. Some of the exceptions in 2.x would bog down a game with rule lawyer'ing. Thank you.
