Force Absorb and Force Defense

Q: Force Absorb and Force Defense can cancel Force powers used by other characters. Does spending a Force point to reroll or move faster count as using a Force power for this purpose? For example, if an enemy wants to spend a Force point to reroll an attack while within 6 squares of Yoda, can Yoda use Force Defense to prevent the reroll?

A: Yes. Rerolling and moving faster are Force powers that any character with a Force rating can use. They can be canceled by Force Absorb and Force Defense.

Q: If Qui-Gon Jinn is next to an enemy with Lightsaber Deflect or some other "make a save to avoid damage" effect that requires Force to activate, does Qui-Gon get to wait until he sees what the result of the save is before he uses his Force Absorb to cancel it? Or does he have to cancel immediately in response to its use?

A: A character must use Force Absorb immediately after the other power is declared, but before it is resolved. So, no, you wouldn't be able to wait to see if the other Force power successful before using Force Absorb. The same is true for Force Defense.

Q: If characters on opposing squads both had Force Absorb or Force Defense, could one character cancel an enemy's use of Force Absorb or Force Defense?

A: Yes, Force Absorb and Force Defense can be used to cancel other characters' use of Force Absorb or Force Defense, allowing the original Force power to function.

Q: Can a character with Force Absorb or Force Defense use that power to prevent a character from gaining a Force point with the Force Renewal power?

A: Yes.

Force Alter

Q: Does the character with Force Alter need to be the target of the attack to use this ability?

A: No.

Q: Can Force Alter force a reroll for something like Shatterpoint or Use the Force that results in an automatic 20?

A: No. The end result remains a 20 regardless of what the die roll is, so rerolling the die is meaningless.

Force Bubble

Q: Does Force Bubble last the entire skirmish, the entire turn, or just for a single attack/ability?

A: A single attack/ability.

Q: Can you use Force Bubble when hit by a character with Force Immunity?

A: No. That would be responding to an attack by a Force immune character.

Force Corruption

Q: Can a character with Force Corruption use it on a character that's already corrupted just for the 20 damage, even though the enduring effect does not stack?

A: Yes.

Force Lightning

Q: I'm confused about the difference between Force Lightning 2, Force Lightning [#] from the rulebook, and Force Lightning on some older characters. What's the difference?

A: They're all the same -- effectively Force Lightning 30 from the rulebook. The multiple levels of Force Lightning created for The Force Unleashed set required a revision of the Force Lightning wording. All past characters with "Force Lightning" (no number at the end) are now considered to have "Force Lightning 2". The "Force Lightning [#]" terminology will be removed in a future revision of the rules.



Q: Emperor Palpatine's Force Lightning power affects up to two characters adjacent to the target. How does this work?

A: The rules for Force Lightning in earlier versions of the game were unclear. In fact, Force Lightning must affect two adjacent characters, if they are present. Emperor Palpatine selects a target within 6 squares using the normal targeting rules (if the target has cover, it must be closest or tied for closest to Emperor Palpatine). Force Lightning also deals damage to two adjacent characters, friend or foe alike. If there are more than two adjacent characters, Emperor Palpatine's player chooses which are affected.

Force Lightning can target a character who does not have two or more adjacent characters. However, it must damage all adjacent characters that are present, up to the maximum of two.

Q: Let's say that Emperor Palpatine is adjacent to Luke Skywalker, and no other characters are adjacent to Luke. If the Emperor uses Force Lightning, would he take damage for being adjacent to the target?

A: Yes. The Emperor would indeed take damage from his own Force Lightning in this case. The only way he could avoid taking the damage is if there were at least two other characters adjacent to Luke.

Force Push

Q: When a character is pushed, can I move it around obstacles or characters to get it further away?

A: Each square of movement must be further than the currently occupied space. You must move the enemy character if a space is available. Beyond that, you may control which space to move the character into.

Q: When the damage from Force Push defeats a character, where are effects like Avoid Defeat or Self-Destruct resolved?

A: Resolve all effects of the damage to a specific character first, then if it survives resolve the movement and stunning effects to this character. Then move to the next affected character (if applicable).

Q: What happens if my character with Force Push 3 or 5 is adjacent to the target?

A: The character takes the damage and stunning effects, but does not move.

Q: If a passenger uses Force Push 3 or 5 and the transporting character is adjacent to the target, will it be pushed?

A: No.

Q: Can I move the target of Force Push 3 or 5 first, and then affect characters that are adjacent to him after the move?

A: No. You affect the target and characters adjacent to its position prior to resolving any part of the push.

Force Renewal

Q: When exactly does Emperor Palpatine add 1 Force point to his total with Force Renewal?

A: Force Renewal gives the character 1 Force point at the start of his turn.

Q: Does Force Renewal work if the character doesn't take any actions?

A: Yes. Force Renewal grants 1 Force Point as soon as the character is activated. It's irrelevant what actions the character does or does not take after that. Thus, you can activate the Emperor, gain 1 Force Point, and then end his turn without taking any actions at all, if you wish.

Q: Is there any limit to the number of Force Points a character with Force Renewal can accumulate?

A: No. A character may accumulate any number of Force Points unless the special ability granting them says otherwise.

Force Repulse

Q: If a passenger uses Force Repulse, what happens to the transporting character or any other passengers?

A: They are affected by the damage and any stunning effects, but do not move. Other passengers and the transport count as within range X regardless of what X is.

Force Sense

Q: Can Force Sense affect a character with Force Immunity?

A: No.

Q: If Force Sense has been triggered, and a character later gains Force Immunity through moving within Ysalamiri range, do they regain Stealth?

A: Yes. Force Sense creates and enduring effect throughout the round. You check the status of the character's Stealth at the point a character begins any action (movement, attack, ability) where Stealth might apply.

Force Spirit

Q: Can Obi-Wan Kenobi's Force Spirit be canceled by Force Defense or Force Absorb?

A: Yes. If Obi-Wan is destroyed while near enough to an enemy with one of those Force powers, the enemy can cancel the Force Spirit and prevent Obi-Wan's ally from receiving 8 Force points. However, once an ally has received the benefit from Force Spirit, neither Force Defense nor Force Absorb can remove those Force points from the ally. As usual, Force Defense and Force Absorb can be used to cancel Force powers that the ally uses with the extra Force points.

Q: In a squad with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda of Dagobah, could a single character get Force Spirit 8 and Force Spirit 6 for the combined ability to spend Force points 3 times per turn and have 14 extra Force points?

A: Partially. The extra Force points can be added for 14 total, but you can still only spend Force points one extra time per turn (2 total in most cases.)

Q: If a character with Master Speed gains Force Spirit, allowing Force points to be spent twice, would the character be able to use Master Speed twice to move 18 and attack? This works with Move Faster...

A: No. Normal stacking rules apply to Master Speed. Move Faster is an exception to the normal stacking rules.

Force Strike

Q: Can Plo Koon use Force Strike against any enemy Droid within 6 squares?

A: No. Unless a special ability or Force power's description says otherwise, you must always follow the normal rules for choosing a target. (See the Choosing Your Target section of the Attacks and Damage chapter of the rulebook for details.) Force Strike is no exception. If there is no legal target who is a Droid enemy or an enemy with the Mounted Weapon ability, Plo Koon should choose something else to do instead.

Force Valor

Q: The glossary definition of Force Valor says, "This is in addition to any existing commander effect." What does that mean? Does it mean the bonuses to Attack and Defense stack with bonuses to Attack and Defense from other commander effects?

A: That sentence doesn't have anything to do with stacking, so the normal commander effect stacking rules apply. That sentence means a character with Force Valor gains the new commander effect in addition to any other commander effect that the character already had. So when Yoda, Jedi Master uses Force Valor, he now has two commander effects: The one that was already printed in the Commander Effect section of his card, and the one provided by Force Valor.

Force Weapon

Q: Can the bonus Damage from Force Weapon be used on a character with Force Immunity?

A: Yes.

Q: Can Force Weapon be used more than once to get +20 Damage or more?

A: No. You cannot benefit from two instances of the same ability. See "stacking" for details.

Illusion

Q: Can a character with the ability to spend Force points more than once use this ability more than once on the same attack if the attacker makes the first save?

A: No.

Levitation

Q: How is the movement from Levitation carried out? Can the character go anywhere on the map? Through walls? Through enemy characters?

A: The affected character may take any desired path, one space at a time, through squares that are within 6 squares of the character with Levitation. Other characters and terrain are ignored but the character may not cross through walls.

Q: Can you use Levitation to drop an allied character into a pit square?

A: No.

Q: Would Levitation movement trigger Mines?

A: Yes.

Q: Can Levitation be used to board an ally onto a transport like the Troop Cart?

A: Not directly. The only way to board a transport is to end a move in a square adjacent to it. Levitation is movement, so it can achieve that proper method without actually moving the character onto the transport.

Q: Could Levitation be used to move a character into range of Ysalamiri?

A: Yes.

Light Spirit

Q: If Yoda of Dagobah is chosen as the ally, can he use Force Renewal 1 and Force Renewal 2 for 3 Force points per turn?

A: No. You cannot benefit from two instances of the same ability. See "stacking" for details.

Q: Can Obi-Wan move through walls or end a move over a pit?

A: Yes.

Q: When counting range for Light Spirit do you get to ignore terrain?

A: No. Count range normally.

Q: If my Savage character can reach Obi-Wan, does it have to move next to him even though it won't be able to attack him?

A: No. There is no way to end adjacent to this character, so the Savage does not get drawn to him.

Q: Is Obi-Wan considered Living even though he's a "ghost"?

A: Yes, for game purposes he counts as Living, but very few abilities will meet the other requirements to affect him.

Q: Can Obi-Wan be played in a squad without a Unique allied character with a Force Rating?

A: No.

Lightsaber Assault

Q: Some characters (such as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Jedi Master and Darth Maul on Speeder) have both Double Attack and Lightsaber Assault. I don't understand the point of having both of those abilities. If a character can make two attacks anyway, why spend a Force Point to do the same thing?

A: Lightsaber Assault allows a character to make two attacks even if it moves. Double Attack, on the other hand, requires the character to not move at all.

Q: Can a character use Lightsaber Assault in conjunction with Double Attack to get three attacks without moving?

A: No, because Lightsaber Assault replaces attacks. (See the Replaces Attacks section of this article for more details.)
