I have a question about this ability. His card states " After you preform an attack you may preform a free boost or barrel roll." So here is the question. Can he prepose an attact to use his ability if he has no legal targets?

No, the rules for making an attack specify that you have to select a ship in range and arc of fire.

I have occasionally wanted to shoot asteroids with garven in the first couple turns so that he could spend focus on the attack and pass the focus to Kyle in the crow. Doesn't work that way.

No you need a target to attack so you cannot use his ability if you have no targets. You can still boost or barrel roll as your regular action.

I don't have my Turr card to hand, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't say anything about "PREforming" attacks....

Yes, I know this post doesn't answer the question, but my pedantry gets the better of me every now and then.

My buddy said that even though he does not attack, there is no reason why you couldn't spend the focus token if you wanted to.

So we've always been playing that garven can pass the focus every time. Regardless if he attacks or not.

My next question now is, if he attacks and rolls hit, hit, miss, can he still focus to pad it on?

Garven has to spend the focus token, and the only places in the main rulebook that state you can spend a focus token are in the "modify attack dice" and "modify defense dice" sections. So you can't just spend it without attacking or defending.

According the FAQ, you *can* spend a focus token to change zero results, so even if you don't have any eyeballs on the dice, Garven can still spend it and pass it.

So we've always been playing that garven can pass the focus every time. Regardless if he attacks or not.

You've been playing it wrong in regards to attacking. In order to spend the token, Garven has to be either "attacking" or "defending". In either situation you have the ability to spend the token even if there are no [focus] results on the dice, but as mithmyrr points out, you must be able to spend the token to use the ability. Garven can pass a focus without attacking, but he must be the target of an attack (defending) to do so.

related, but different question.

Could Garven, with Blinded Pilot, pass off his focus?

My thought would be yes, as Blinded Pilot is "next time you attack.....", so you acually have to make the attack, but roll no dice.

Garven doesn't have to be attacking or defending - he just has to spend a token. That will typically be during an attack or defense, but it doesn't have to be. R5-P9, for instance, will let you spend it during the end phase and Garven could hand it off. Anything that lets Garven spend the focus is valid for triggering his ability.

Re: Blinded Pilot - you don't have to have any eyeballs to spend the focus, and that's regardless of dice. So yes, Garven with a Blinded Pilot could spend the focus and pass it off even though he rolled no dice.

Caught by the Master, as usual.

To be fair, it's only relatively recently that Garven gained options to spend it outside an attack, and the usefulness of that is limited to handing it to the Moldy Crow... But we do seem to be getting an increasing number of abilities that's expanding the options for tokens (Kir Kanos, R5-P9) so it's one that's worth retraining our brains on.

But he has to spend the focus token, and how does he do that if he rolls no dice? I know he can spend a focus to change zero dice on a roll, but can he change zero dice when none of have been rolled?

He is still performing an attack. He can spend his focus token to alter 0 eyeball results, even if there are no other results either.

But he has to spend the focus token, and how does he do that if he rolls no dice? I know he can spend a focus to change zero dice on a roll, but can he change zero dice when none of have been rolled?

Of course he can. You still go through the full attack process, which includes getting the opportunity to spend the Focus token (and any Target Locks). For that matter, your opponent could choose to spend any defensive tokens he has if he really wanted to.

What says you have to roll dice?

Ok

Here is another question more about turr.

He moves. And takes focus action

He attacks

Then gets to do a free boost /barrel roll

At this point he can push the limit. Correct? Even though it's now during the combat phase and nor action phase

Correct. Push the Limit triggers off of taking an action, not off of a specific phase.
