Q: Does Mara Jade suspend Scum And Villainy?
A: No. Scum searches for aliens, and Mara is an alien. Her Imperial status is irrelevant for Scum.
Q: Does the destiny for Jedi Test 5/Smoke Screen/Darklighter Spin count as a "drawn" destiny?
A: No. Those cards work "instead" of drawing a destiny, so Tarkin and Boelo would not be able to cancel them.
Q: Does Menace Fades/Imperial Decree/Jedi Test 1 count as a Force drain
modifier?
A: No. Those cards cancel the modifiers to the drain; they do not modify the drain itself.
Q: Do Jabba's Palace sites count as Tatooine sites?
A: Yes. Also, Tatooine: Jabba's Palace is considered a Jabba's Palace site.
Q: Can you play Vader's Obsession just before Luke is captured with Bring Him Before Me?
A: No. Vader capturing Luke is an automatic action, which occurs before any optional ones.
Q: Can Vader duel a captured Luke?
A: Only when Take Your Father's Place is on table and using the text of that Objective.
Q: Do two of the same non-unique pilot both add to power of the same
ship/vehicle they pilot? Do 2 Mercenary Pilots or Palace Raiders aboard 2
transport vehicles add 2 destinies? Can two different Makurths both 'scream' in the same battle?
A: No to all three. Those cards are not cumulative.
Q: If both players want to play Disarmed during the same control phase, who's works?
A: Players take turns taking actions during each phase with the player whose turn it is going first. Soon Dark Side's turn, Dark Side would get the first
action, then Light Side.
Q: Is (character name) a matching pilot for (starship name)?
A: A matching pilot is a character whose gametext mentions the name of a
unique starship (or a persona of that starship) or vice versa.
Q: Can Red Squadron 1/Gold Squadron 1 be on the table at the same time as Red 2/Millennium Falcon respectively?
A: No, Red Squadron 1 is a persona of Red 2 and Gold Squadron 1 is a persona of the Falcon.
Q: Can you play I Am Your Father after a duel?
A: Not really. In the case of Epic Duel, Luke would either be lost (in which case I Am Your Father is useless), or crossed (in which I Am Your Father
would be lost). In the case of Take Your Father's Place, it cannot deploy on Luke because it does not specify a captured Luke (it can be used with that
Objective if Luke is not a captive, though). However, it CAN be played after the Jedi Test 6 duel.
Q: Does X character have Y characteristic?
A: Only if that characteristic appears in the title or lore or if it is clarified in the Current Rulings Document.
Q: Can Snoova capture a character with Sniper?
A: No. When he uses a Vibro-Ax to capture a character, that target has to be participating in battle. When using Sniper, the target is not in battle, so
exclusion is not possible with a Vibro Ax and therefore, Snoova cannot capture.
Q: Can I use Squadron Assignments/Combat Response to search more than once
per turn?
A: No. Because the card specifies a time period and 'one,' the action can only be initiated once during that time period.
Q: How much is X card worth?
A: However much it is worth to you and however much you can sell it for.
Q: Does Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight subtract 3 from opponent's Epic Duel total?
A: Yes. Epic Duel is an attempt to cross Luke over.
Q: Which happens first? All Wrapped Up, Bacta Tank or Ben Kenobi?
A: Since Dark Side gets the first 'just' response to a Light Side action, All Wrapped Up would happen first. Bacta Tank is also a 'just' response, but Dark
Side gets the first opportunity. Ben Kenobi happens at the end of the battle, so he has to wait until everything in the battle is over.
Q: If I flip Watch Your Step, are my characters still deploy +6?
A: Yes. On Objectives, everything between "For" and "While" lasts for remainder of the game.
Q: If I have a card that allows a repeating blaster to fire for free, is each shot free?
A: No. Only the first shot is free; subsequent shots are at normal use of the Force.
Q: Is Star Destroyer: Launch Bay considered a docking bay?
A: No. To be a docking bay, the card must have the words 'docking bay' in its title.
Q: Can Encampment circumvent Princess Leia Organa's or Prisoner 2187's
deployment restrictions?
A: No; those restrictions are not "location deployment restrictions."
Q: If I start with Set Your Course For Alderaan, which player goes first?
A: Dark Side, because the Death Star is not your starting location.
Q: Can I'll Take The Leader (or Fighters Coming In) relocate both the starfighter AND the pilot to the docking bay?
A: No, only the starfighter goes to the docking bay. The pilot still goes to the Lost Pile but may be targeted by other cards like Bacta Tank.
Q: Can Fallen Portal target a character that's inside an enclosed vehicle?
A: No, the target has to be -present- at the site.
Q: How much Force does the Dark Side lose if Death Star II is blown away?
A: Dark Side loses 4 times the number of Dark Side icons destroyed. The
Glossary entry says that the normal loss is 2 times, and That Thing's Operational doubles that amount.
Q: Can Lift Tubes be driven?
A: No. Lift Tubes do not have a driver slot.
Q: Can X card target a captive?
A: Only if the card specifically says it may target captives. Always remember when you're dealing with captive rules, captives are only on table for two purposes:
- uniqueness
- cards that target captives
Q: How are Squadrons targeted?
A: The rule of thumb is to always remember, that a squadron is 1 starship, NOT a starfighter, but is does represent (for example) 3 "TIEs" or 3 X-wings as being in their class. Read the cards that could target squadrons carefully and look for these words. Your question will be answered most of the time.
Whenever you have a question about the game, these are the steps you should take:
1. Read the card(s) involved (identification of problem)
2. Look at the CRD/Glossary index to see if those specific cards have entries (where to go)
3. If specific card entries don't help, check the CRD for general rules surrounding the mechanic(s) involved
4. Check Glossary for mechanics/rules
5. Post question to BBS or Listserve

"Nighttime conditions" are defined by the cards Sunsdown and Nightfall. Also, the Sandcrawler sites are under nighttime conditions.

No problem. I am one of the most knowledgeable rules gurus in existence, so when I give an answer, you can be pretty much sure that it's right.

Quick question- with Echo Base OPerations and it's deploy-1 at systems effect, does that also apply to weapon and character deployment as well?

Anything deploying *to* a system (not on) is deploy -1.

Anything that deploys to a system is -1. This includes ships, characters, weapons, devices and effects.

Bah, I'm thinking too much. EBO says "At"; the word "to" isn't anywhere. And "at" means that any characters deploying aboard starships are deploying "at" the system and therefore do get the bonus.

As a follow-up to the whole "on"/"to" argument. If EBO had said "to" then yes, Bib Fortuna was right and Effects would be -1 at systems as well.
But since there are NO LS Effects with a deploy cost that deploy to systems the whole discussion is really moot at this time

Actually, there is at least 1 Effect that would get the deploy bonus from EBO: Special Modifications.

I would never have had a problem with that because that deploys to the system not on it.
I was thinking of Effects like Haven, Launching The Assault, etc. But now it doesn't matter--"to" is synonomous with "at" and the word "to" isn't even on EBO to begin with, "at" is. And so the vicious cycle continues

Can someone please explain the persona rules to me more clearly? For example, if I have Darth Vader at the Cantina, is it possible for me to deploy Lord Vader to a different location? Or does it have to be to the same location as Darth.
Thanks.
