chewy and taking a critical card

By Ywingpilot45, in X-Wing Rules Questions

I know this question probably has been asked to death, but I am going to ask it anyways. When chewy takes a kaboom he immediately flips the card over with out resolving its effect. What if he has determination and one of the cards is a pilot card, would you flip the card over anyways or would you discard it all together?

You discard the pilot damage card. Chewy's ability does not interfere with the Determination, you still deal the card faceup, so the Determination triggers.

To be a little more technical, a crit causes you to be dealt a face up damage card. Both Chewbacca and Determination trigger at being dealt a face up damage card, so since you control the cards whose effects are triggering, you determine the order.

Not reallly much to add.

When it comes to causing damage a [kaboom] and [boom] are basically the same thing (except for which has to be cancelled first) until it finally gets to the stage that damage cards are being dealt. At that time the [kaboom] sends one in that is face-up; this triggers both Determination and Chewie so the owner gets to choose the order to resolve those triggers. If the Falcon owner wants he CAN allow Chewie to trigger first and flip the card face down which causes Determination to see nothing and let the card land on the ship; I'm not sure why one would want to do it but it can be done.

Now moving beyond the [kaboom] results both Chewie and Determination are triggered by being dealt a face-up card. Here the same effects come into play so if caught by a Proton Bomb the owner would see the incoming face-up card and can then allow Determination to discard it harmlessly or Chewie to flip it over without it doing anything else.

I guess if there is something important to add it's that after a card has landed on Chewie it is no longer being "dealt" so if it is turned face-up there is nothing that Chewie or Determination can do to it anymore.

Sometimes when teaching you say the same thing over and over again but change up the delivery a little bit each time. Maybe it doesn't take one way but will take the other way. The original question was answered easily but just providing the outside cases.

Oh, I know exactly what you mean. I was just amused that you started with "Not really much to add." and then proceeded to add much more than the previous posts.

It was nothing that someone else couldn't have eventually added.

Besides, sometimes once you start it's just hard to know when to stop :)

Yep, been there many times. :)
