Hello

Got a question regarding Scar cylon rider. Beside what is written in rules, is he treated as normal Cylon Raider? I mean can you destroy it with Nuke (if he is on location when Basestar is destroyed with nuke with additional raiders), or by area attack (via Pegasus location)? Or is it possible to destroy him only by Vipers?

For now we were playing treading him "special" so no nuke or pegasus attack could destroy him. But I want to make it sure we Scar status clearly.

Regards

You can only kill him with a die roll, and only if you roll a 7 or 8. So any effect that would automatically destroy raiders without a die roll (I think there's a Quorum card that does this?) can't be used on Scar.

The nukes can still only target a basestar, but if you roll a 7 or 8 on the die, you can destroy Scar as one of the additional 3 raiders.

Per page 3 of the FAQ, Pegasus area attacks can also destroy Scar, if you roll a 7 or 8 on the attack. If you don't roll a 7 or 8, you can't pick Scar as one of the destroyed raiders.

And as you have guessed, Vipers (manned or otherwise) can also destroy Scar, if you roll a 7 or 8 on the attack.

So every attack roll of 7-8 on a die can destroy Scar? Doesn't matter what attack type it is (nuke vs basestar, Pegasus location, etc)?

Right. If it can destroy a raider and rolls a die, a 7-8 can destroy Scar. Nothing else can do it.

I'm pretty sure you can use Kat's ability to destroy him without rolling the die though. It would take a value 5 skill card though.

Yes. Kat's ability changes how the dice roll is made (discard STR+2 vs. the roll itself), so it still counts as a "roll" of 7.

Kat's Hotshot ability works here, it's basically forcing the result of a die roll that was going to happen anyway.

Her Sacrifice ability, on the other hand, cannot destroy Scar, as there's no die roll.
