Fierce Protector and Magnaguards

[Shadow Marvel]

Does the Magnaguard's ability Intercede override Ahsoka Tano's ability to target for an attack from Fierce Protector? 

As an example:

Count Dooku wounds one of my allied characters. Ahsoka triggers Fierce Protector and then advances to engage with Dooku but will also result in being engaged with the Magnaguards. Can she attack Dooku or does Intercede prevent Dooku from the retaliatory attack and she cannot target the Magnaguards since Fierce Protector specifies who she can target? So the result is a free advance and a heal?

Yes.

Fierce Protector does not provide any permissions that would allow a player to ignore the Intercede rule on the MagnaGuard.

So, in the example provided, would Ahsoka’s ability still apply? In other words, would she do her move but because of the Magnaguards Intercede, there would be no attack? Or does the Intercede just prevent Ahsoka from doing any part of Fierce Protector?

Yes. She would make her movement then the attack would fail because the required target cannot be targeted.
