Hello,
I've got a lot of new ruling questions this time around and would like some clarifications.

1) Can you combine fire on attacks of opportunity?


2) For initiative, if one player rolls a D20 and the other player rolls a D16 + tactician +4, do both players reroll since it is a tie? Only asking because one friend was under the impression that a natural 20 would beat out a not natural 20.


3) Can you damage an enemy with Diplomat with Lightsaber Reflect if you can see another legal target? Since you know it might damage them, can you not use it against them?


4) If a character with Aggressive Negotiations combines fire, do they lose Aggressive Negotiations?


5) If you Force Push and there is another character already behind the person do they just not move or does the pushed character also push back the person behind them back by the space stated in the Force power?


6) Do abilities like Ataru Style, Roger Roger, etc count through walls or pillars when determining if their effects work? Example 1: An ally is inside a closed building and a battle droid with Roger Roger is within 2 squares but is on the other side of the building. Does the ally still get the Roger Roger bonus?
Example 2: Yoda is attacking an enemy and there is one other enemy within 6 squares but is behind a pillars. The pillar is on the 5th square away from Yoda. If you count around the pillar then that enemy is not within 6. Does Yoda still get to use Ataru Style? Now what if that enemy was within a closed building?
Example 3: Does Doctrine of Fear count through walls? So if Tarkin is inside a building and there are enemies outside the building within 6 squares, does Doctrine of Fear affect them?


7) Just for curiosity sake. If I have Master of the Force 2. Can I use Sith Rage AFTER using Leaping Assault? Basically I want to know if it is still possible to use Force powers that don't replace attacks or turn after using a Force power that does replaces turn or attack is used.


8) If you use Thrawn swap on two Desert Skiff characters and they are transporting characters, do all the characters on the Skiff swap with the Skiffs too?


9) Could you Thrawn swap an Medium ally on the map with a Medium ally being transported by a Desert Skiff?


10) Can a character being controlled by Dominate use Leaping Assault even though Dominate says they can't move? Assuming Leaping Assault is the only thing they do and not move in any other way.


11) Does Pawn of the Dark Side count as the user taking control of the character? Or the character just being allowed to activate again under its own free will? Asking for the purposes of a custom ability that states a character cannot be controlled by another character.


Appreciate any help with these. Thanks! BigGrin

No, a character can only benefit from combined fire when making an attack on their own turn.

Both players would reroll. Initiative doesn't have crits. Additionally, the player with Tactician would lose the bonus on the reroll.

Yes. Diplomat prevents a character from being attacked or targeted; Lightsaber Reflect does neither.

Quote:

No, as they are not making an attack.

Quote:
5) If you Force Push and there is another character already behind the person do they just not move or does the pushed character also push back the person behind them back by the space stated in the Force power?

Neither. When a pushed character hits an obstacle like a wall or another character and still has push distance to resolve, they slide along the impassable squares as far as possible (pushing player's choice for direction).

6) Do abilities like Ataru Style, Roger Roger, etc count through walls or pillars when determining if their effects work?

No. You must count around walls, never through them. As such, the answer to all examples is no.

Yes, as long as you're in a situation when you can use the powers (e.g. you need to wait until making the attack to use Sith Rage instead of declaring both powers at the same time).

8) If you use Thrawn swap on two Desert Skiff characters and they are transporting characters, do all the characters on the Skiff swap with the Skiffs too?

The passengers would be swapped with the Skiffs.

9) Could you Thrawn swap an Medium ally on the map with a Medium ally being transported by a Desert Skiff?

As long as both characters are in range, yes.

Quote:
10) Can a character being controlled by Dominate use Leaping Assault even though Dominate says they can't move? Assuming Leaping Assault is the only thing they do and not move in any other way.

Yes, but they cannot move any squares, making it usually a waste of Force Points.

Quote:
11) Does Pawn of the Dark Side count as the user taking control of the character? Or the character just being allowed to activate again under its own free will? Asking for the purposes of a custom ability that states a character cannot be controlled by another character.

Yes and No. Pawn of the Dark Side allows an allied character to take an extra turn at the cost of 10HP. It does not change the character's activation status (so a pawned unactivated character can still take a normal turn later in the round). Additionally, it cannot be used on enemy units, so it would have no interaction with your custom ability.

nemy units, so it would have no interaction with your custom ability.


I'd point out you ignore difficult terrain and low objects when counting distance.
