MC 30 Ship titles

Hi there, a few questions I could use some accurate clarification on,

Admonition : " While defending, during the spend Defense Tokens step, you may discard a Defense Token to cancel 1 attack die. "

This means you may discard up to one Defense Token per attack right? not you may discard several Defense Tokens in one attack to remove several attack dice?.

Foresight : " When you resolve the <Redirect token> defense effect, you can choose 1 additional adjacent hull zone to suffer damage ."

Does this supersede the effect from X17 Turbolasers? or does it work just like Advanced Projectors, and you have to suffer all but one point on the target hull zone?

Both things came up in a games last night, my friend had seen the initial ruling on X17 vrs Adv Proj, and not the updated one, I could not recall where I had read the new ruling, and the only one we could find easily was the pinned FAQ thread here, which has the original ruling stated, and not the updated ruling. Today I spent a little time hunting around and found the updated ruling in the latest FFG Errata, which I have emailed a link to, to my friend, so he can see I wasn't just making it up.

Secondly I have been struggling to find a counter to Mon Mothma with Admonition and Foresight in it, especially Admonition being used to remove multiple dice, the ship would fly in to PBR, eat my attack by cancelling most of the dice, double arc from both side hull zones, then fly off. if it can only cancel one die, this will mean a big change, not so hard to kill after all.

Thanks in advance.

Admonition is a discard ability not a spend ability so you can spend the redirect as normal and then discarding the same redirect to remove a die.

Foresight works just like Advanced Projectors.

My bad, I meant Discard, and I have edited it to reflect the correct question.

Admonition : " While defending, during the spend Defense Tokens step, you may discard a Defense Token to cancel 1 attack die. "

Correct. It is a "While" Trigger, which means it can happen once per trigger. Which means you can do it once per spend defense Tokens step...

However, it is in addition to the regular spending of tokens.

Foresight : " When you resolve the <Redirect token> defense effect, you can choose 1 additional adjacent hull zone to suffer damage ."

Does this supersede the effect from X17 Turbolasers? or does it work just like Advanced Projectors, and you have to suffer all but one point on the target hull zone?

The reason why XI-7 turbolasers overrides both this and Advanced Projectors is the Cannot on the XI-7 Turbolasers card. The clarification is indeed that it is only one zone, rather than 1 per zone.

Ok as I thought then, during one attack Admonition can spend 1 evade, 1 redirect and then ditch one token, not spend 1 evade, 1 redirect and then 4 tokens removing 8 damage! (which happened last night) makes me much happier about that card now.

And cool on the X17, will make my friend miserable I suspect, that will teach him for being Rebel scum!

Thanks guys for the clarifications.
