Do you have to re-roll all of your dice?

Some rules allow you to re-roll a dice roll, which means you get to roll some or all of the dice again. If a rule allows you to re-roll a dice roll that was made by adding several dice together (2D6, 3D6 etc.) then, unless otherwise stated, you must re-roll all of those dice again.

When does a re roll count as a failure?

Some older abilities also have wording such as “re-roll failed hits”. Re-rolls are processed before modifiers, so if you have a -1 to hit and BS3+ then whilst you need 4+ to hit, the 3s do not count as failures for the purpose of these abilities, because they have not failed yet.

What happens if a player asks to roll an ability?

Don’t allow trivial rolls. Remember that the PHB (p.6) says that the DM doesn’t have to call for rolls that are trivial- if they could have gotten it without rolling, just give it to them. Ask the player what they are attempting to accomplish with their roll.
