So I couldnt find this question answered anywhere, but can an Imp officer spend his focus to roll an additional dice on the same turn he gets 'focused' from resolving a surge? or is it already to late in the attack to roll the additional dice?

I would suspect it is to late, and the focus is just there for the next attack, but i thought it would be safe to be sure =)

Thanks in advance for any input and sorry if this has been brought up before

No. The RRG is explicit on this. You can only add dice before you roll. Reference below.

RRG Page 6, Under "Special Situations Regarding Attacks", Bullet 7:

Any ability that is resolved “while attacking” or “while defending” can be used at any point during the attack with the following exceptions: - An ability that adds dice to a dice pool can only be used immediately before step 2 of the attack. - An ability that allows a player to reroll dice can only be used during step 3 of the attack. - An ability that allows a player to modify die results can only be used during step 4 of the attack.

Steps of an attack on RRG Page 5:

Steps of an Attack

When a figure performs an attack, it resolves the following steps:

1. Declare Target: Based upon its attack type (P or O), the figure performing the attack (referred to as the attacker) declares one eligible target for the attack (referred to as the target). - For a melee attack (P), an eligible target is any hostile figure adjacent to the attacker. For a ranged attack (O), an eligible target is any hostile figure within line of sight of the attacker.

2. Roll Dice: The attacker rolls his attack dice at the same time as the defender rolls defense dice (listed under “Defense” on the target figure’s Hero sheet or Deployment card).

3. Rerolls: If players have any effects that reroll dice, they are resolved now. - Each die may be rerolled only once per attack regardless of who is rerolling the die.

4. Apply Modifiers : If players have any effects that gain or remove icons or Accuracy, they are applied at this time. This includes spending F (evade) results to remove B results. Any B abilities that provide modifiers are not resolved until step 5.

5. Spend Surges: If the attacker has any B results, he may spend them to trigger special abilities.

6. Check Accuracy: If performing a ranged attack (O) the total Accuracy value must be equal to or greater than the number of spaces the target is away from the attacker. (See “Counting Spaces” on page 9). If the total Accuracy value is less than this number, the attack is a miss.

7. Calculate Damage: The total number of G (block) results is subtracted from the total number of H (damage) results, and then the target suffers all remaining H.

Ok thanks for confirming. That makes sense, and goes along with what i suspected.

Additional clarification can be found here:

"Focus", RRG, Page 13

If a figure gains the Focused condition after rolling dice for an attack or test, it cannot use the condition until the next time it attacks or performs a test.

Can a figure gain more than one focus condition at a time?

Can a figure gain more than one focus condition at a time?

No - it cannot.

pg 9 RRG "Conditions"

" A figure cannot be affected by multiple instances of the same condition."
