My question is, can Murne Rin exhaust this ability when an ally within 3 spaces is performing an attribute test to grant it one success?
Professional Aide - Exhaust this card while another Rebel figure within 3 spaces is attacking or performing an attribute test to apply +1 [surge] to the results.
From the RRG - Only heroes roll dice for attribute tests. If an elite figure is required to perform an attribute test, it automatically receives 1 success. If a regular figure is required to perform a test, it automatically fails the test.
Notice it doesn't say receives 0 successes, it automatically fails, so I'm wondering if that would override the success given by Professional Aide. I think it should work, as it fits with her theme of boosting allies, but want to know what you think.
This came up when I was playing against the RAIV and on the first turn after I deployed my 3 HP Alliance Smuggler ally, I drew Tactical Explosives: All Rebels test [eye]. Each figure who fails suffers 3 damage and becomes bleeding.
