In this way, will Obi-Wan Kenobi, Out of Hiding, suffer 2 damages that are granted by Vader's Fury from this attack?
No. The attack will end at step 3B due to Mind Tricks. Vader's Fury adds damage to the Damage Pool at the end of step 6c.

If the models base was overhanging the tower over another terrain piece that was lower, but still within range 2, would that be allowed?
No

So just to clarify, even if the ability is on completely different units but has the same name can that ability only be used once per turn?
No, it is per Unit.
On 6/30/2023 at 2:59 AM, HazMatt said:So in a turn you could trigger 212s coordinated fire, and if you did then had another eligible attack could that attack use 501st's coordinated fire?
Yes

I assume you follow the procedure for reserving a card normally and flip over the next card but the rules only have that clause under the section where you pay a force to reserve a card.
This is correct. The section about what happens when a Unit Order Card is placed into Reserve is applicable to anytime a card is placed in reserve, whether through spending a Force during the reveal or otherwise.

When you declare a Move action, do you have to choose to Advance, Dash, or Climb
No

Yes

Does this mean objectives would essentially be on the ground level if they can't completely fit on a bridge above them to prevent it overhanging
No, the terrain would need to be moved in this situation.
On 9/18/2023 at 12:18 PM, CoffeyTime said:Also if there is no legal placement, in a tournament setting would you ask the TO to move the terrain?
How to handle this situation would be up to the event organizer.

In this situation, the higher elevation partially overlapped the lower one. Because of this, the pushed model was never completely overlapping the lower elevation after it left the higher elevation.
This means it would be situation B

If Padme is contesting objective A whilst in faith in diplomacy, can two wounded handmaiden's contest objective B as long as they both handmaiden's are on the same objective (but different to Padme)?
No.
The first portion of Servant of the People allows wounded Galactic Republic Supporting characters to contest the same objective as Queen Padme Amidala, not a different one.
20 hours ago, TheEnglishGent said:If two wounded handmaiden's are at the same elevation as an objective with one uninjured enemy model, if Padme moves within two of the objective but at a lower elevation, would the handmaiden's contest and hold the point?
Yes.

Some wording on a previous ruling is confusing. For counting failure (skull) results as criticals for the Reality Gem, is each reroll step considered a separate chance to count a failure as a critical?
Yes
13 hours ago, phowell0820 said:My question is:
a. Does the failure generated by Witty Banter count as a critical along with the original failure, resulting in 5 total successes.
b. Does the reality gem only count a single failure result from the finalized dice pool as a critical, resulting in 4 total successes
Neither situation
The Reality gem counts a single failure result from the current(not finalized) dice pool as a critical.
Pretend instead that your situation was this
Thanos (w/ Reality Gem) rolls 6 dice, resulting in 3 hits, a blank, and 2 failure. The failure is immediately turned into a crit and an extra die is rolled, resulting in a blank.
Amazing Spider-Man chooses to use Witty Banter to reroll the failure being treated as a critical (which he can do because its a critical for all game purposes).
This rerolls into a blank.
The Reality Gem effect would then occur, changing the other failure into a Critical result. You don't get another die for this, as we've passed that step, but it will now count as a success on the attack.
So you end up with 3 hits, 3 blanks , 1 critical (physical die showing a failure)
-
No.
The leadership may only be used once per turn, not once per character per turn.
-
No.
The results need to be in one of Amazing Spider-Man’s dice pools to be able to provide him power.

The active ability is resolved in step 10c of the attack that generates it.
The effects in question from knowledge and defense occur in 10d of the attack
This means the attack generated by tactical network will occur first, inside/during the super tactical droids attack.
If the attack generated by tactical network attacks the original defending character as well, they can choose to resolve knowledge and defense during either attack, but it will be after both have occurred.
If the attack generated by tactical network attacks a character other than the character attacked by the super tactical droid, they can only resolve knowledge and defense during the original attack, but again, this will occur after both attacks have occured.

I'm confused. Would you please help me understand the difference?
It's not that Jump didn't happen because the move didn't happen, its that Pinned stops the Jump itself from occurring. I.E. It doesn't just stop the movement, it negates the entire Jump itself.

This is not reiterated under the other types of movement, just Push or Pull
This is actually also called out in a Snip'et on page 25 with some expanded wording and is applicable to all movement.
On 8/5/2023 at 2:49 AM, Sleboda said:1. Does this mean that it is acceptable to use 'stand in' empty bases (or other substitute, including just agreeing with an opponent that the model is "actually" on a spot where it cannot balance or fit) when, for example, advancing a model onto a precarious bit of terrain?
No. A "stand in" or "proxy base" is not acceptable to use either in measuring or to replace a characters miniature. The miniature must be able to physically fit in the intended location.
On 8/5/2023 at 2:49 AM, Sleboda said:Basically, we are wondering if it is intentional that his physical design limits where he can go or if players are meant to create a solution for positioning models like him
Players are expected to assist each other in model positioning to the extent that the rules allow. As mentioned, "Stand in" or "proxy bases" are not allowed within the rules, however, players working together by rotating miniatures is something that would be expected.

Yes it does, the only other part of this I am unsure about is since the condition is not taken off of your character you don't remove a damage, correct?
Correct

Thank you, so am I correct in saying that in this scenario 2:
- Grievous could make another attack into Lord Maul
- Grievous could then use Appetite for Destruction to have an allied Battle Droid character attack Obi-Wan (as Obi-Wan was the target of the Combat Action)If the first line is in reference to the attack granted by Mind Trick, yes, you have the correct scenario.

I believe this is answered here
Let us know if it doesn't answer your question

Example 1: I paly with 3 criminal syncate and 2 cabal characters, so the roster use th CS leadership
A note on this, it would be your squad using the criminal syndicate leadership, not your roster
On 9/7/2023 at 10:07 AM, Fred said:Can Red Skull (a cabal character) use dark reign as he is a cabal character?
No. Dark Reign can only be included in the 5 Tactics cards you pick for the game if your Squad has the Cabal Affiliation. As you chose to use Criminal Syndicate while building your Squad, you were unable to pick that Tactics Card
On 9/7/2023 at 10:07 AM, Fred said:Can the other cabal character include in the liste benefit from this card even if the genenral affiliation is criminal syndicate?
No, for the reasons above.
On 9/7/2023 at 10:07 AM, Fred said:Example 2: 3 Cabal character and 1 from another affiliation, the roster use the cabal leadership:
Coul the non cabal character use/benefit from dark reign as he is in a cabal team?
No. Just because a Squad is Cabal Affiliated, that does not grant the affiliation to the characters in the squad.

If you "must" do the Shove, but "may" do either or both of the Push and Pull, couldn't you just say "I am required to do the Shove before going to the next option, but within that Shove, I chose to do neither part" thus making it actually completely optional?
Its not completely optional, no. A Shove will still have occurred even if you choose to do neither of the effects of the shove.
Consider a situation where something specifically triggered off of a shove occurring. That would trigger even if you opted to perform neither of its effects. This is why the distinction is potentially important.
On 8/18/2023 at 10:27 AM, Sleboda said:Or to put it more clearly (for me anyway), can I move up the next option if I don't do at least one of the two parts of the Shove?
You may continue even if you choose to do neither of the effects.

What if she doesn't move.
Does a move action to trigger MWS, but chooses not to do an advance, dash or climb.
That way strain will go off after the action -> so can the heal from MWS slot in before it?
If she chooses not to do the advance, dash or climb, then yes.

I have a Strained B1 Battle Droid Unit, who are getting targeted by another character’s ability.
Kalani uses Tactical Network on the B1 Battle Droids, who Dash and decide to remove one special condition. Do the battle droids Dash, then remove the Strain? Or do the battle droids Dash, take 3 damage from the strain, and then have no condition to remove?If they choose to perform the dash, they will trigger and resolve strain at the end of the dash before they can remove the condition.
On 6/15/2023 at 7:27 PM, THarper said:I have a Strained 501st Clone Trooper Unit.
The Clone trooper unit uses Defensive Manoeuvre to Dash. This move takes them within range 3 of Captain Rex, who can trigger Bring It On Clankers.
Does the Clone Trooper Unit Dash, gain a Hunker token & then Heal due to Bring It On Clankers (removing the Strain) therefore taking no damage? Or does the Clone Trooper Unit Dash, then gain a Hunker token, then take damage from strain, and then heal from Bring it On Clankers?
Neither. They would Dash, triggering anything resulting from the dash (I.E. Strain) then continue with defensive maneuver and gain the hunker token, then continue to Bring it on, Clankers
-
You would resolve the dash and anything that triggers based on the dash occurring before continuing with Defensive maneuver.
This means the Strain will resolve before he gains the hunker and triggers Bring it on, clankers.

As the title says, are Tactic abilities that resolve at the start of a Unit's activation something that must be performed, or simply may be performed?
This will depend on the wording for each specific ability.
On 8/11/2023 at 3:22 PM, Shivorath said:What prompted this question was the combination of "CC-2224 Clone Commander Cody's" ability "We've Got A Big Problem..." when "Obi-Wan Kenobi, Out of Hiding" is the only eligible target. In that situation I would prefer not to give the Expose token, but do I have a choice?
There is no optional portion to "We've got a big problem...".
In this scenario, you would have to choose obi-wan kenobi, out of hiding and subsequently trigger his Greater purpose.

Anakin runs up to Obi(secondary version) and goes to attack him.
Obi uses mind trick to end the attack.
Would Anakin now be able to use "Im going to end this" or does mind trick prevent this as there wasn't an attack made.First thing to note is that the attack was made. Just because it ended early doesn't mean it wasn't made.
Yes, he can use "I'm going to end this" still. The attack from the combat action ending early doesn't also end the combat action itself.
On 6/30/2023 at 3:49 PM, CahoonM said:ExpandLet's Assume Obi-Wan, Out of hiding, and an Allied Count Dooku are both engaged with an Enemy Anakin.
First Scenario:
1) During his activation Anakin makes a Combat action targeting Obi-Wan who in return uses Mind Trick:
A) Does this end the Combat Action itself?
1) If so, does that mean the attack granted by Mind Trick is outside of Anakin's Combat Action?
2) If so, does the Mind Trick attack happen before or after Anakin would use I'm Going to End This?
A. No
A1 - The attack granted by Mind trick will occur during his combat action, but not as a part of it.
A2. It occurs before.
On 6/30/2023 at 3:49 PM, CahoonM said:Expand2) Anakin then attacks Dooku with 2 fewer dice. After this attack Anakin chooses to use I'm Going to End This (IGTET). Does IGTET Target:
A) Obi-Wan since he was the original target of the combat action?
B) Dooku who was the target of the attack granted by Mind Trick?
C) Both of them since they were both "Targeted" at one point during this combat action?
D) Neither of them are valid I'm Going to End This Targets since Mind Trick Stops the combat action.
E) Other (Please Explain)
A
On 6/30/2023 at 3:49 PM, CahoonM said:Expand1) Anakin attacks Obi-Wan, after the initial Combat Action and attack are resolved Anakin then chooses to use I'm going to End this. In Response Obi-Wan uses Mind Trick to stop the IGTET Ability.
A) Would Anakin then gain the attack granted by Mind Trick?
B) Would he be allowed to target Dooku with the IGTET attack even though he was not the original target of the Combat Action?
C) Would it Negate all further attacks since Obi Cannot be attacked and Dooku was not the original Target?
D) Other (Please Explain)
A. Yes. Mind trick works on attacks in general, not just attacks as a part of combat actions.
B. He could target Dooku because he is no longer making the attack granted by I'm going to End this, he is now making the entirely separate attack granted by Mind Trick
C. The only targeting restrictions on this current attack are those imposed by Mind Trick. The targeting restrictions from I'm going to end this are no longer applicable as that attack is no longer occurring.
On 7/9/2023 at 11:46 AM, SWCB said:If obi-wan uses mind trick when anakin attacks, and anakin can attack another enemy, is the new attack a combat action? Can anakin use his reactive after this new attack?
It is not an attack as a part of a combat action, no.
He cannot use I'm going to end this as a part of the Mind Trick attack, but he can use it after the original combat action ends (which occurs after the mind trick attack)
The scenario looks something like this
1- (Combat Action Begins)
2- Anakin Attacks Obi Wan as a part of the combat action
3- "Mind Trick" (Attack ends)
4- Anakin makes new attack, if able (during the combat action, but not a part of it)
5- (Combat action ends)
6- Anakin uses "I"m Going to End This" - eligible target is Obi WanOn 8/27/2023 at 10:57 AM, stranglebat said:If mind trick cancels an attack from anakin can he pay the force and attack again using am I going to wnd this?
On 7/19/2023 at 10:56 AM, perpetuallyPlain said:I am wondering how the timing and triggers work for the following interaction.
General Anakin Skywalker declares an attack against Obi-Wan Kenobi, Out of Hiding, and there are no other characters engaged with Anakin. Obi-Wan uses Mind Trick on Anakin's attack. When the attack action is ended by Mind Trick, will there be an opportunity to trigger "I'm going to end this" after the combat action?
Yes, see above.

No

On 9/3/2023 at 3:00 PM, Butsch91 said:General Anakin Skylwalker targets Obi-Wan Kenobi, out of hiding with his attack action.
Obi-Wan uses "Mind Trick" but doesn't have any other available target so the combat action ends.
Can he use "I'm going to end this" on Obi-Wan Kenobi, out of hiding?
Yes

He does not. As it applies to the next roll and you did not reach the step that performs a roll, the bonus will still be applied to his next attack roll
This is correct
