To build off this, let's say Rex in combat with Kenobi's ally, Kenobi mind tricks making the attack invalid does Rex have to attack? Or can I do something else with the action?
Mind trick doesn’t invalidate the attack, it just ends it early.
That attack still occurred and “used” whatever resources applied to it.
Mind trick provides the character specifically an attack, not a combat action or a choice of other action types.

This seems to be a timing issue. So wouldn’t the Riposte occur during step 5. A? Whereas the modify defense dice is step 6. A.
Riposte is used after the attack is resolved, which is 10d for the defenders effects.

Cover is a stacking effect, yes.

If a bounty hunter uses payday to gain the "Bad Batch" tag is it able to benefit from Hunter's "leader of the batch" ability or does not having the "Clone trooper" mean that the ability never is triggered in the first place
A character must have the Clone Trooper tag to make use of this ability. They would benefit from at least the first sentence.
Characters that also have the Bad Batch tag can benefit from the second sentence as well.
A character with only the Bad Batch tag would be unable to make use of the ability at all.

What happens when you pay a force for an ability that can only target a unit that can't be effected?
This is too open ended a question to answer for every possible rule.
On 4/11/2024 at 11:59 AM, J Chav ATLAS said:For instance Bola Toss into Luke who's in the reserve. Luke has immunity to both conditions. Does the ability fail and the force is lost or does the ability fail and the force refunded with no legal targets?
The ability is used still, but the chosen character doesn't gain the condition. Nothing in the rule prevents the character from being chosen.
On 4/11/2024 at 11:59 AM, J Chav ATLAS said:If there is another target but you first select Luke, could you pick a new target?
Not technically, although your opponent could allow you to.
On 4/11/2024 at 11:59 AM, J Chav ATLAS said:Same for coordinated fire with a wounded unit and shooting a unit with immunity.
Can you clarify this question?
On 4/11/2024 at 11:59 AM, J Chav ATLAS said:What about abilities like intercede. If you declare an illegal target, can you then declare a legal target?
This ability prevents the listed characters from being eligible targets, so they couldn't be picked to start with.
Which is slightly different from the other situations. Nothing in the previous examples prevents the character from being picked, just what happens after they are picked.
On 4/11/2024 at 11:59 AM, J Chav ATLAS said:Maybe a better question is, can you pay for an ability that has no effect?
This is too open ended a question, it depends on the conditions of the individual rules.

When a unit performs an attack during their activation, if Obi-Wan Kenobi, Out of Hiding uses Mind Trick, does the attacker have to perform the same type of attack on the new attack?
No
On 4/11/2024 at 12:39 PM, zeusjus said:For example: Captain Rex is engaged with a wounded ally of Obi-Wan. On his activation, Rex chooses to shoot at Obi, who uses Mind Trick. Even though he was originally doing a ranged attack, could Rex then perform a melee attack against Obi-Wan's wounded ally?
Yes
On 4/11/2024 at 12:39 PM, zeusjus said:For the above example, would it make any difference if the original attack had to be a specific type? For example, Clone Sergeant Hunter is in a similar situation, but attacks the wounded unit with Striking Distance, which stipulates a melee attack. If Mind Trick is used on that melee attack, could Hunter then perform a ranged attack?
It would make no difference.
You satisfied the conditions of Striking Distance when making the first attack, which was ended early. The attack granted by Mind Trick does not have the limitations imposed by Striking Distance.
-
Riposte is checking the current state of the dice at the point that it is used.
If there are no failure results in the attack roll at that point, the attacking unit would not suffer the damage from Riposte.

He will only Dash a single time if he chooses himself.

Please clarify because if you're engaged with a wounded character you do gain hunkers
There is no exception provided for a Wounded unit. An engaged Unit cannot gain or have Hunker tokens regardless of the Wounded/Not Wounded state of the other Unit.
1 hour ago, desertspiral said:if you have Geneeal Kenobi you also gain a hunker
The previous answer doesn’t take into consideration every possible exception created by interactions with other rules, just the rules and scenario presented.

The exception to this rule has to be with General Obi-Wan Kenobi, right? His Knowledge and Defense would allow Rex to dash into melee and still gain a hunker allowing for the heal to trigger from Bring It On, Clankers.
That is one potential exception, yes.

So does this mean that the b2s in this picture would get pulled over the grand inquisitor and land in the other side of him assuming the b2s will fit? If they don’t fit the b2s would stop on the edge of the platform correct? Thanks
Based on the picture, yes, this is correct for this scenario (assuming the measurements work out correctly).

No.
Although Puff of Smoke is still occurring in Step 12 of the attack sequence, it would occur after the model has had damage placed on it, been KO'd and then removed from the battlefield.

Gotcha. If we go the other direction with it a unit card, reserve it, and than pull the shatterpoint card. Can I shuffle the shatterpoint card, and pull another card?
You can do that, yes.

This has been clarified in the latest FAQ and Errata document. Their Coordinated Fire should have the Reactive Icon

Do abilities which trigger when 'a Character in this Unit Wounds an Enemy Unit' trigger from Strained?
Let's say a Unit A was Wounded due to Damage from a Strained condition, applied via an attack by Unit B. Unit B has an ability that triggers when it Wounds an Enemy Unit. Does Unit B's ability trigger?
Not from damage caused by the Strained condition resolving, no. Strained is a non-player effect once its been applied to a character and thus no character, Unit or player is considered to have caused that damage.

Not to sound dense, but does that mean that it's having a second sentence that starts with "Then" that makes the difference, and we can look for that structure as our standard 'we can figure it out ourselves' guide?
No. In that particular sentence, its the words after the "Then" that are important.
"Then, the character that moved..." - This is the condition

I also have a question regarding this topic:
if I draw the Shatterpoint Card and spend a force to shuffle it back in. The next card is a battle tactic card:
Would i shuffle the deck before or after I resolve the battle tactic and drew another card? (So would it be possible to draw Shatterpoint - Battle Tactic - Shatterpoint)
You would shuffle your Shatterpoint card back into your deck before you resolve the battle tactic.

Combat A.I. Protocols triggers "after an allied Battle Droid unit makes a combat action" and No One Gets Between Me And My Job triggers "after another allied unit makes a combat action." Can I use both abilities because one is a reactive ability and one is an innate ability?
Yes

So, do we hold off on Shoves, etc. from Expertise until after the attack is resolved (steps 10A and 10B), but apply them immediately within the Options as they are a selected (Step 8)?
Correct.
Combat tree direct and personal effects resolve in Step 8, during each option choice, except for active ability, which occurs in 10c
Attack expertise directed(other than damage) and personal effects resolve in 10a
Defender expertise directed and personal effects in 10b -
No.
The last sentence of the second paragraph under Reserving an order card states that the newly revealed unit must activate and cannot be placed in reserve.

I had not previously noticed that the rule appears to allow a model to be Pushed/Pulled the full length 'over' terrain features at a lower elevation, but does not allow the same 'over' (overlapping) a character at a lower elevation.
A "Snip'et" on page 26 actually clarifies that characters at different elevations are never considered to be overlapping

If Captain Rex is strained when he activates, can he use his Tactical Get a Move On, Solider on himself, choose not to dash and gain a hunker token, triggering Bring It On, Clankers which allows Rex to heal off the Strain before it would trigger dealing 3 damage?
Yes
On 3/14/2024 at 5:39 PM, joeshmoe554 said:Or would the Strain deal 3 damage from the Tactical ability before Bring It On, Clankers could heal it off?
The use of Tactics abilities do not trigger the Strained condition.

No. When Engaged, you cannot gain Hunker tokens
Can Nightcrawler use Puff of Smoke on Ultron after Ultron uses Age of Ultron?
in Marvel: Crisis Protocol Rules Questions
Posted
Yes, as this ability is not affecting Ultron. You would do this after The Age of Ultron has finished resolving.
No, per this ruling -
