Jango Fett Not So Fast dice modification

[Ogrez]

Two part question. 

 

Jango Fett's ability "Not so fast" mentions the following:

Roll 5 attack dice. The activating unit suffers (damage) for each [crits] and [hits] result in the roll.

 

1. Would the target of this attack roll defensive dice? Since this just seems to be a direct damage situation, and range/melee attack type is not defined, I assume they do not roll defense dice and just take direct damage as worded. 

2. Could anything modify the dice in this case? Such as, if you make a focus actin before using this ability, do you get 6 dice instead? Or just the 5 as stated since it's not really an attack action?

Defense dice are rolled during the resolution of an attack. Not So Fast’s effect does not make an attack. It uses attack dice to determine the strength of its effect.

You could not use a focus action to add an additional die because it not an attack.

Perfect, thank you.
