FAQ (GW) **Q.** Can the Gem of Blood save against a Killing Blow? If so, is the Killing Blow rebounded back onto the attacker?
**A.** In cases like these, items should be treated just like a Ward save. So, if the save is passed, then the character takes no damage, and the wound rebounded. However, just a single wound is rebounded, not the killing blow itself.

The Gem of Blood One use only.
When the wearer suffers its first wound in close combat, the gem is activated. Roll a dice. On a result of 2+, the wound is saved and rebounded on the model who caused it, with no armour saves allowed. On a result of 1, the wound is not saved and the bearer suffers 1 additional wound, with no amour saves allowed.
