Is there any basis for this in the rulebook? The rulebook just says to round the sum (final product), doesn't it?

That's a great point that is definitely worth including! I think that the intent of the rulebook is that you finish your mathematical operation and then round, yes. I think they are either using sum to mean (final product) or in the sense it is used in British English to mean "math equation". Traditionally American English only uses sum to mean the result of addition. 

In any case, I would say that my prior logic is incorrect, but I still think that you should round up before doing the logical comparison, since "logical comparison" is not an operation in that Math callout box.

I don't think you bring them for damage. They become super hard to hit super mobile scheme runners 

I find that if you have already scored all points on your relevant Strat or Scheme or if you bring two they act as really excellent threats/annoyances to many other scheme runners. Really anyone who would be forced to disengage, and once they are all growed up they are consistent at applying Stagger and can in a pinch threaten to remove markers for marker focused schemes like research mission.

Very excited for these event! Our of idle curiosity what logic went into setting the OOK/Versatile limit at 15 soulstones rather than another amount of SS/flat number of models?

The mathematical operation being carried out here returns a boolean (True/False) answer:

Current health (integer) =< max health/2

Rounding should not be required as in this case the value is not a game variable ...

Maximum Health is a game value. Even though the scheme as a whole returns a boolean answer, you still have to divide before you can make the boolean comparison. Since all division operations in Malifaux other than distance return the value rounded up to the nearest integer, a character with 7 max health is at half or less not when their health is at 3.5 or less.

This is because in Malifaux the division operation itself has special properties, so whenever you divide you immediately round values.

I would have let you do it. It’s a friendly  model that needs to see 3 markers, and Rolling Stones allows it to be counted as a marker.  
 

happy to be proven wrong, but I don’t understand why it wouldn’t work. terrain markers are markers.

 

Hi Regleant! The answer that has been presented by other commenters is that the scheme doesn't say a friendly model must see 3 markers, but rather that a model in the players crew must be near 3 markers. At this step of the game the model is not what is doing the checking, but rather the scheme is.

To put it another way, the scheme is not a friendly model to the Moorwraith, and so for its purposes the Moorwraith is not terrain. Does that clarify the explanation that Adran provided?

You would have a triple positive for sure. Each instance of negative flip is converted into a positive flip before any of your twists of fate cancel each other out.
