The new Bossk card - WOW

By jodo44, in Imperial Assault Rules Questions

The new Bossk is amazing, with passive +2Ac, passive +2 damage, and passive +1 block. Oh, and he automatically regenerates 2 health a turn and gets rid of harmful effects. 10 health and only 8 points. Plus his ability is similar to the Grenadier command card but it also gives out strain as well as damage. WOW. I think the Mercs now have their MVP

What's the rules question? :D

Is Bossk tournament legal? :P

He's got a passive block on a white die - so its not that powerful. He's got a 1 in 6 chance of rolling a dodge, and a 1 in 6 chance of rolling a blank. Excluding dodge - he'll have an average of 1 or 2 blocks and an evade. He'll be taken down pretty quickly if he's not careful... though the +2 recover is pretty nifty.

does he get his innate +2 damage when using his indiscriminate fire ability?

And can he Indiscriminate Fire and attack in the same activation? I'm thinking yes?

Indiscriminate Fire is not an attack, so no, he doesn't get his +2 damage for that

And can he Indiscriminate Fire and attack in the same activation? I'm thinking yes?

Yes - also because Indiscriminate Fire is not an attack.
