Omega leader

By teeg123456, in X-Wing Rules Questions

So omega leaders ability states basically the defender/attacker if locked cannot modify dice which to me means no evade tokens, no focus tokens and no upgrade card modification. Now does adding a die at range one for attack and a green die at range 3 count a modified dice I would say yes but thought I would ask the pros

Thanks much folks

Adding dice is different from modifying them, so the range bonuses wouldn't be affected.

No, abilities and rules that change the number of dice rolled are not dice modifications. You figure out your dice pool in Attack Step 2: Roll Attack Dice. You perform modifications in Attack Step 3: Modify Attack Dice. Defense dice have equivalent steps in 4 and 5. (Rules Reference p.5)

See also RRp13: Modifying Dice. Note that the "Add" in that section is talking about adding results after you roll, not dice to the pool before you roll.

No. Changing the number of dice being rolled is not modifying dice.

Modifying dice is:

- Adding results (e.g. Advanced Targetting Computer, spending Evade token; distinct as noted above from Range 1 bonus, Zuckuss pilot, opportunist etc)

- Changing results (e.g. spending Focus token, Poe's ability)

- Rerolling dice (e.g. Target Lock, Zuckuss crew's ability)

K so the use of an evade token is not considered to be a mod of the dice. Kool thanks very much.

Adding an evade result by spending an evade token was specifically given as an example of modifying dice in the post directly above yours...

Adding dice before rolling is not dice modification, so Omega Leader doesn't affect those abilities. Adding dice results after rolling (including adding an evade result using an evade token) is dice modification, so Omega Leader can use her target lock to prevent it.

Great just want to know what I'm taking a doubt when my friends start complaining
