This special rule is being contested in our local area.
When you resolve the [Evade] defense effect, you can cancel 1 die at close range or distance 1." -Iden
Becuase the wording dosent say instead of, we are treating Iden's rule is in addition to the evade defence token.
We have been treating it as, in close range we get to reroll one dice, and then discard 1 dice as per Iden's rule.
Eg. A Raider being attacked by MC80 Home One at close range. MC80 rolls 3 double hit reds, 3 hit blues, total of 9 damage.
Raider discards evade token (for being a smaller ship class) to reroll 2 of the double red dice, and results with 2 blanks. Iden's rule then chooses the last double red and 1 blue dice to cancel it.
Total damage 2.
Is this correct?
