Omega Leader deffinately needs a clarification, i had someone swear blind at me that C3P0 works vs him. Even a TO support this decision until I spent ten minutes (of round time) going over the cards and relevant sections of the rules. Thinks like Tarns Bot and palp need discussing with this too so it's crystal clear as there are too many opinions being mistaken as rules at the moment

i had a TO rule that adding evade tokens was okay. i had forgotten my rule book at home, still won. took longer

Omega Leader prevents dice modification, and adding results is dice modification. I'm surprised and disappointed that TOs are getting this really simple and straightforward issue wrong.

How are you so sure that there will be a new FAQ soon? It's not like we didn't have other waves that weren't accompanied by a new FAQ for quite a while.

Assuming it wasn't a photoshop effort, ffg posted up the new one today.

And then seemingly took it down again.

You and a lot of other people, but there's another camp that believes equally strongly the other way. Both have strong points on their side and neither are willing to back down and can we please not rehash the argument again in yet another thread?

This is exactly why the Inquisitor needs an FAQ entry.

Hold on, buddy! I wasn't in the other thread, I couldn't imagine that there was an argument about this.

I agree that everything that has an argument against it (however flawed) should have a FAQ entry, you know, because it's probably a frequently asked question.

That mostly wasn't directed at you but at the other people coming to put out their own positions and take up the next four pages with rehashing the same argument. Should have been clearer, sorry.

I'm not. TOs are players just like everyone else, they don't get special training, and in a lot of cases only have a passing understanding of the intricacies of some of the more common corner cases.

Sounds rather clear to me.

Players can modify dice by spending focus, evade, and target lock tokens and by resolving card abilities. Dice can be modified in the following ways:

• Add: To add a die result, place an unused die displaying the result next to the rolled dice. A die added in this way is treated as a normal die for all purposes and can be modified and canceled.

SLAM and bomb on one hand would be cool, on the other we don't need to buff Miranda.

I have yet to win a game with Miranda or lose a game to Miranda. She's not exactly tearing up the meta with bombs.

Link?

Neither are supported by RAW but could be changed based if the intent of the cards was different. The tractor beam is the first thing that can cause something to land on a rock that isn't a maneuver.

I think you just answered your own question here. It's not a maneuver.

And the Inquisitor only has range 1 shots, AT clearly states for beyond range 2.

I think both of your examples are clear in terms of RAW. I'm not sure there are outstanding things that don't follow the RAW, but I agree it would be nice for them to appear in an FAQ.

Oh, I agree, but several people on Vassal have been rolling for the rock and the "trail" for the inquisitor ruling is an email from a developer. So, both of these cards could have been intended to work differently but weren't parsed out as well as they could have been.

We've got a ton of rulings right now that are based on emails from FFG. It's hard to keep track of them all. It would be a huge help to get this stuff into either the FAQ or the rules.

Yeah, email replies to individuals are basically useless and you can't expect players to track all of those down.

They should spend less time answering emails and more time generating an up to date FAQ, make it a webpage and you'd be sorted.

They did update the tournament rules today.

They're called regulations now.

I'm out of likes for the moment, but thanks! There are some fascinating changes in here, including multiple "leadership" roles, different tournament tiers, and the explicit addition of dice to the list of components a player can ask to be shared.

I saw a FAQ dated today on my mobile device when I went to download the new tournament rules. I switched to desktop just now and that FAQ is gone.

But I got it downloaded.

Tractor Beam updated. "The ship suffers the effect of any obstacle it overlaps."

Wampa confirmed to work at Compare Results step.

Omega Leader ruling confirms Palpatine can modify as long as he's not on the locked ship. Adding dice (Jan Ors) or subtracting dice (crack shot) do not count as modifying and therefore still work.

Autothrusters never work against the Inquisitor (there was a change to Autothrusters too).

News page has this: 2016 March Rules Update

Updated FAQ and Tournament Rules are Now Available

but the link is broken

Page 1: Tractor beam. Obstacles can cause damage!

LOL Boba crew versus ghost title!

It forces phantom to stay docked until ghost is destroyed.

They missed Tarn/OL interaction. It's not like emperor, but it's also not like other dice mods. R4-b11 does something similar, right?

Is forcing a modification by the opponent the same as actually modifying their dice?

Feedback no longer works on a rock.

Lame on Feedback. Its not like its OP.

Esege and Poe have a nice interaction now. Doubt you'll see Esege though anyway.

and Inquisitor is really good! Nope, you get no Thrusters Soontir.

After defending, you may perform a free action.
TIE Adv. Prototype •Valen Rudor
2
valen rudor After valen rudor defends from the first attack from a weapon that performs multiple attacks (such as Cluster Missiles or Twin Laser Turret), if he moves out of range of the weapon (such as from a boost or barrel roll action), the attacker cannot perform the second attack.

if valen rudor defends against a ship equipped with Tactician, the range for Tactician is measured after valen rudor performs his free action

RUDOR IS SO GOOD

_{Darth Vader can't take the TAP v/1 title.}

Yea he's virtually immune to range effects, especially with title and ptl.

GOOD LUCK TLT

tractor Beam if a ship equipped with ruthlessness uses Tractor Beam to attack an enemy small ship and hits, that ship must first boost or barrel roll the enemy ship, then trigger ruthlessness.
if a ship is equipped with both Tractor Beam and Tactician, the tractor beam token is resolved as part of the attack, then the distance is measured for Tactician.

It looks like they have a contradiction on Feedback Array. The Blinded Pilot ruling on page 6 says you cannot use Feedback Array when you're under the effects of that crit, as you do not get the opportunity to attack. The Feedback Array ruling on page 13 says you can. I'm assuming the latter is only in regards to the old damage deck?
