Pawn of the Dark Side

Q: When Darth Sidious uses his Pawn of the Dark Side ability, is the target entitled to a saving throw, or does it automatically take the 10 damage?

A: It's automatic, with no save allowed. (Unless a save is specified for a special ability or Force power, you should assume that the damage is automatic.) However, some other special ability (Shields, for example) may allow the target to avoid the damage.

Reroll

Q: If a character who can spend Force points rolls a 1 and would be subject to Darth Vader, Dark Jedi's commander effect or Emperor Palpatine, Sith Lord's Betrayal ability, can the character spend 1 Force point to reroll and avoid the effect if the reroll is not a 1?

A: Yes. When a character spends 1 Force point to reroll, the original roll is ignored for all purposes; only the result of the new roll is meaningful.

Sever Force

Q: Can a character use Force Defense or Force Absorb to prevent Sever Force from being used on them?

A: Yes.

Shatterpoint

Q: Can I use Shatterpoint more than once?

A: Yes, but Shatterpoint only applies to one enemy at a time. Invoking Shatterpoint a second (or more) time in a skirmish changes the target of Shatterpoint from the previous target to a newly selected target. Shatterpoint is no longer in effect for the previous target. (i.e. Shatterpoint will only ever be in effect for one target at a time.)

Shockwave

Q: Can Mace Windu, Jedi Master use Shockwave to affect characters on the other side of walls?

A: As always, you can count around walls (including closed doors) to see if the target is within 6 squares.

Sith Hatred

Q: The card for Sith Hatred says characters must be within 2 squares, but the rules insert says 6 squares. Which is correct?

A: 2 squares.

Sith Hunger

Q: Using Sith Hunger, can Darth Nihilus go over his starting Hit Points or Force points?

A: No to Hit Points. Yes to Force points (but it would some very unusual circumstances for it to occur.)

Sith Lightning

Q: I've noticed a discrepancy between Count Dooku's Sith Lightning on his stat card and in the Clone Strike glossary. What is the correct Force point cost?

A: The stat card is correct. Sith Lightning costs 2 Force points to use. The Revenge of the Sith rulebook lists the correct Force point cost.

Q: Can Sith Lightning be used against any enemy 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.) Sith Lightning is no exception.

Q: Can Sith Lightning be stopped by Lightsaber Block, Lightsaber Deflect, or Lightsaber Reflect?

A: No. Those abilities only allow a character to avoid the damage from actual attacks, not special abilities or Force powers. However, both Force Absorb and Force Defense can cancel Sith Lightning.

Surprise Move

Q: If Qui-Gon Jinn spends 1 Force point to move with Surprise Move immediately after the initiative check, can he spend Force points on his turn?

A: Yes. The immediate move occurs outside the character's normal activation, so when Qui-Gon's turn comes around, he can spend Force points again.

Q: Characters can make only one attack of opportunity per turn, and characters can spend Force points only once per turn, but Surprise Move doesn't happen during any character's turn. Is there a limit to the number of attacks of opportunity or expenditures of Force points that a character can make during a Surprise Move?

A: Yes. Treat a Surprise Move just like a normal turn for purposes of determining how many times a character can do something that is limited to once per turn. In this way, no character can make more than one attack of opportunity during Qui-Gon's Surprise Move, and no character can spend Force points more than once during Qui-Gon's Surprise Move. In fact, because Qui-Gon already spent Force points to perform the Surprise Move, he cannot spend Force points again (to perform a Lightsaber Block against an attack of opportunity, for example) during the Surprise Move.
