Han Solo:

Distracting: While a friendly figure is defending, and you are adjacent to the targeted space, apply +1 evade to the defense results
Cunning: While defending, apply +1 block to the dense results for each evade result.
C-3PO
Distracting: While a friendly figure is defending, and you are adjacent to the targeted space, apply +1 evade to the defense results
Question - how does defence (block/evade) work when these two figures are adjacent to each other?
If Solo is defending and rolls 1 block and 1 evade, does he also get +1 block for the evade that he rolled from himself and +1 evade from C-3PO or +1 block from C-3PO that was converted from the additional evade?
Does the player who defend makes the choice if any or does the attacker makes the choice if any?

If Han is next to C3PO and rolls 1 block and 1 evade, he ends up with 3 blocks and 2 evades. (+ 1 evade from C3PO = 1+1=2, and 1 block for each evade he has, 1+2=3). Cunning is an additional bonus, not a conversion. And since all the abilities are triggered by the defender's figures, the defender decides in the order to apply them, which is logically this. The attacker resolves their effects first though, so if an effect from the attacker removed an evade, the defender would not get a block for it.

If Han was a bit cheaper, this would be a good pair to run along side of each other for mission terminals. Which would be hilarious bc in the movies, these would be the two most unlikely to run together...kind of like the Odd Couple...
