Triggering Events for Reactive Abilities


Recommended Posts

The rules state that each player can only use one Reactive ability for each triggering event. How exactly are different triggering events distinguished for this rule.

For example:
Padawan Ahsoka has 'After an allied Galactic Republic Supporting Unit within Range 3 makes a combat action...' on her reactive ability.
Cad Bane has 'After another allied Unit makes a combat action...' on his reactive ability. 
Would these be the same triggering condition (assuming all requirements for both are met) or do they have to have the exact same wording to count?

And what about something like:
Mother Talzin having 'After an allied Dathomirian character makes an attack...' on her reactive.
This wording is different again but is happening at effectively the same point so does it also count as the same or not?

Just looking to understand exactly what counts as the same triggering events or not. Thanks

These would be considered the same event, specifically that a combat action was made. The other checks are conditionals that further restrict the event, but the overall event is that a combat action was made.

This is different from the previous example, as what matters here is that an attack was made. The allied dathomirian is a further conditional restriction and the "after" indicates the timing that, in this case, the ability is both used and resolves in. You could potentially use both Life Drain and No One Gets Between Me and My Job as they are reacting to different events. The first is reacting to an attack having been made and the second is reacting to a combat action having occurred.
