Incorporeal: This model ignores, and is ignored by, other models and terrain during any movement or push. Reduce all damage this model suffers from Sh and Ml Attack Actions by half.
Now, if my comprehension of English language doesn't fail me, "reduce all damage by half" means I have to subtract half damage from the damage total. Since manual states that all roundings are made rounding up to the next integer, this means that 5 damages become 2. (5/2=2.5, rounded up to 3, 5-3=2). So 1 damage becomes zero. So, in the end, an Incorporeal model would always take half damage rounded down.
The only way this could not be (beside my eventual lack of comprehension of the language) is if in case of multiple math operations, rounding has to be made at the very last, once all operations are resolved. But the manual seems to state otherwise.
Small rulebook, page 20, inside the "math" box:
When the rules require a player to divide a number, the result is rounded up to the nearest whole number
So, since it clearly states that is the result of the division to be rounded up, my interpretation above seems correct.
What bugs me is that this may not be what the authors intended. So, am I correctly interpreting the rule or am I stretching it ?
