Modifying Dice / Counts As

[ScottyB]

When characters have abilities that prevent the opponent from modifying their dice, does this apply to effects that read “counts blanks as success “, for example.

ie Venom attacking Okoye.

It does not.

Okoye’s ability changes which sides of the dice count as a success. It does not modify them. 

Modification involves changing which side of the die is showing. For example, cover let’s you pick up and change one die to a block.

Does modifying the dice include adding/subtracting dice from a power/ability or from the critical hit?

Can you give some examples?

Take a look at Appendix A in the rulebook. It covers attack timing. Modification and rerolls occur at step 9. Critical dice are added at step 8. Adding and subtracting dice happens at steps 4 and 5. 

Venom only affects step 9 effects.
