Can a unit with self preservation use the courage of a Commander with a different affiliation who has Inspiring Presence equipped? The rules state that "cannot" overrides "can", but they also say that special rules take precedence over core rules.

In the Promote section of the End Phase, it says that you promote a unit when all of a player's Commander units have been defeated. The "Field Commander" keyword explicitly states that the unit is not a Commander. 1) While a Field Commander is active, a player has no Commander on the table. Can they promote a trooper unit, or does the promotion only trigger after a Commander that had been on the table is defeated? 2) Can a player promote a trooper unit during the End Phase after a Field Commander unit has been defeated? 3) If a player starts the game with Commander rank unit that is later defeated, can a unit with the Field Commander keyword be chosen as the new Commander? If yes, would they become a Commander rank as under the Promote rules, or retain their original rank as described in the Field Commander rules?

When Rexler Brath attacks while evading, does his ability activate before or after damage is dealt? If the attack causes the defender to receive a damage card, can he turn that card face up, or does his ability only work on damage cards that the defender had before Rexler's attack?
