Master of the Force

Q: If Yoda can spend Force points up to three times in a single turn, can he reroll a failed attack or save up to three times in a row?

A: Yes, Yoda can reroll an attack or save three times in a row (assuming he has enough Force points remaining, of course).

Q: Can Darth Bane use Master of the Force 2 to invoke Sith Rage twice for +20 damage on all attacks on that turn?

A: No. Stacking rules apply normally. Once you have Sith Rage you have it and having a second copy does not increase the damage. However, technically it can be invoked twice. It might be useful to do so if the first use is canceled with Force Absorb for example.

Move Faster

Q: When exactly does a character spend Force points to move an extra 2 squares? The timing could be important if an enemy with Force Absorb or Force Defense wants to cancel this extra movement.

A: A character spends Force points to move faster immediately before the start of its movement. In other words, it does not move 6 squares and then spend a Force point to move 2 more; before moving, it spends a Force point to gain the ability to move 8 squares.

Q: Can General Grievous spend a Force point to move faster when using his Wheeled ability? Can Darth Maul on Speeder spend a Force point to move faster with his Charging Assault?

A: Yes. "Normal move" is defined as the initial movement generated by a character taking its turn, including movement created by abilities that replace the character's turn.

Overwhelming Force

Q: For purposes of Force Immunity, is Overwhelming Force considered a power that affects the attacker itself, or a power that affects the enemy character preventing them from using defensive powers or abilities?

A: Overwhelming Force affects Vader's attack, so an enemy with Force Immunity would be affected by Overwhelming Force.

Q: Overwhelming Force refers to preventing attacks, but then doesn't list any powers that actually prevent attacks. It also mentions that Bodyguard can't be used because you "cannot force this character to attack a different target." But Bodyguard doesn't force a character to attack a different target, does it?

A: Dealing damage is part of the attack procedure, and sometimes the precise distinction between the two isn't handled as carefully as it could be. The wording is intended to be read as "...attacks (or damage from attacks) cannot be prevented or redirected this turn..." and "...Draw Fire or Bodyguard cannot force this character to attack (or damage) a different character."

Basically Overwhelming Force means when it is used the attack cannot be prevented (Pheromones), the enemy who is attacked cannot be changed (Draw Fire), and the damage dealt cannot be reduced (Evade, Shields) nor dealt to a different character (Bodyguard, Molecular Shields).

Q: Can Overwhelming Force be used to attack a character with Diplomat in effect?

A: Not alone. While Overwhelming Force avoids the limitation on attacking the Diplomat, it doesn't ignore the restriction on targeting a Diplomat. However, in conjunction with an attack of opportunity, a Lightsaber Sweep, or some other non-targeted attack, Overwhelming Force would make it possible.
