Aing-Tii Flow Walking

Q: Can a character spend Force points on a turn created by using Aing-Tii Flow Walking or were the points spent to trigger it considered part of the turn?

A: You may spend Force points. It's considered a turn like any other. But the character does not benefit from abilities like Force Renewal because it is not considered an activation.

Anticipation

Q: If Ki-Adi-Mundi spends 1 Force point to use Anticipation (allowing me to reroll initiative), can he spend Force points on his turn?

A: Yes. Spending the Force point on Anticipation occurs outside characters' turns, so when Ki-Adi-Mundi activates, he can spend 1 Force point again.

Blaster Barrage

Q: When Mara Jade uses her Blaster Barrage ability, what is considered a legal target? Do you determine legal targets before making any attacks, or before each individual attack? For example, if one enemy character provided cover to another enemy character, could Mara defeat the first one and then attack the second one?

A: You determine which targets are legal targets before making any attacks with Blaster Barrage. A legal target is determined according to the normal rules -- in other words, the attacker must have line of sight, if the target has cover it must be the nearest enemy, and if any enemies are adjacent they are the only legal targets. In your example, the second character could not be attacked. It has cover and it is not the nearest enemy (whoever is providing cover must be closer, obviously), so it wouldn't be a legal target.

To get the most out of Blaster Barrage, you have to be careful to move Mara Jade to a square where she has line of sight to a lot of enemies, she isn't adjacent to any enemies, and most of the enemies in line of sight do not have cover. Of course, she can still get several attacks if you position her adjacent to several enemies. She would get to attack each adjacent enemy once because each one would be a legal target.

Q: Do I have this right? When Mara Jade uses Blaster Barrage, if she chooses to attack an opponent with cover (and it's the nearest, or tied for the nearest) she can hit only that target (or those targets, if multiple characters have cover and are all the same distance away). Even if there are other targets without cover in range, the Blaster Barrage won't hit them if even one character with cover has been targeted.

A: No, that's not right. You must determine if each target would be a legal target before using the ability, and a target's having cover doesn't change the legality of other targets. Here are some examples to help illustrate this.

Imagine that Mara has line of sight to five enemies: The closest has cover, the next three don't, and the farthest has cover. She can attack the closest enemy with cover and the three enemies without cover, but not the farthest one with cover. (You can attack an enemy with cover only if it is also the closest enemy.)

Second scenario, again with five enemies: The two closest (4 squares away) both have cover, and the three farthest away don't. Mara can attack all five characters.

Third scenario, again with five enemies: The closest one doesn't have cover, but two of the others do. Mara can attack only the three enemies without cover.

Q: How does C-3P0's Draw Fire work when Mara Jade is using Blaster Barrage? For example, Mara Jade uses Blaster Barrage and has four legal targets (including C-3P0). Does Blaster Barrage "target"? If C-3P0 uses Draw Fire and Mara Jade fails the save, does he "retarget" all four of her shots to him, or does a roll apply to each other target he's trying to draw fire for? Does Mara try to hit C-3P0 for each Draw Fire success rolled, or does she get to make only one shot?

A: Mara Jade is considered to "target" each enemy when using this ability, so C-3P0's Draw Fire ability does work against it. Resolve each attack (including the Draw Fire attempt, if necessary) one at a time, and Mara Jade's player gets to decide what order to take the attacks in.

To use your example, let's say Mara Jade has four legal targets: Rebel Trooper, Rebel Commando, Rebel Pilot, and C-3P0. She decides to attack C-3P0 first, and he survives the hit (taking 10 of his 30 Hit Points). She then targets the Rebel Commando, but C-3P0's Draw Fire is successful, so she attacks C-3P0 instead; again, he survives the hit. She then targets the Rebel Trooper and makes her save against Draw Fire, so she attacks and hits the Rebel Trooper, defeating him. Finally, she targets the Rebel Pilot but fails her save against Draw Fire; Mara Jade hits and defeats C-3P0 with this last attack.

Q: If Mara Jade uses her Blaster Barrage Force power, and one or more of the targets she attacks has not yet activated, does she get the Cunning Attack bonuses (+4 Attack and +10 Damage against unactivated characters) against them?

A: Yes. Cunning Attack is always in effect (if the target is eligible, of course). When making a Blaster Barrage, Mara Jade gets the Cunning Attack bonuses against every enemy she attacks who has not yet activated.

Dark Force Spirit

Q: While an enemy character is within 6 of a character with Ysalamiri, can it be affected by Dark Force Spirit after Exar Kun is defeated?

A: No.
