Does a reroll get the same bonus/penalty as the parent roll?

[Stalker0]

Let's say I have something that gives me +2 to my next attack roll. I make the roll, miss, and decide to use a reroll ability. Do I still have the +2 bonus (its the same attack roll, just a reroll), or not (completely new attack roll)

Same with penalties, can I use a reroll to negate a penalty to my next attack roll?

Other games I've played with rerolls, the reroll is subject to every modifier the original roll was, and perhaps additional ones. I believe the intent is for a reroll to just change what the die shows, and perhaps add a bonus in the case of elves with feats.

This is always how I've played it, but now that I look I can't find any rules to justify my interpretation (or contradict it for that matter).

Same -- that's how I've always played it (keep all modifiers, just replacing the d20's number). Though, at mention in this thread, I looked but could not find any reason for or against that interpretation.

Same. I can't imagine it working the other way, but it just goes to show that no rule is so obvious that it can go unstated.

Well looks like I've been playing it the same way you all have, so I'll stick with it unless there is evidence to the contrary.

Yep, me too.

The text of Elven Accuracy specifies that you "reroll an attack roll" (emphasis mine). So I'd say that it counts, in all ways except for the number on the die, as the first roll.

 

[Mahali]

Yes. It's still your next attack roll, after all. You're just rolling twice for it.

You shouldn't be able to 'reroll' in order to shake off penalties, nor should you lose relevant bonuses by rerolling . . .

So yeah, those are my opinions as to why I agree with everyone else posting in this thread so far
