Played 3 games of Skirmish and having great fun. Can people help me with three rule questions please?

1. Bossk's Indiscriminate Fire - does the space you choose need to have a figure in it?

2. What does Weaken do?

3. What does Hide do?

1. No, you choose a space, not a figure.

2. Weaken gives the Weakened condition if the target of the attack suffered damage. See the Weakened Condition card (it applies -1 evade to defense results and -1 surge to attack results, and is discarded at the end of the figure's activation).

Weaken / Weakened was introduced in Twin Shadows.

3. Hide gives the Hidden condition if the target suffered damage from the attack. Hide gives -2 Accuracy while defending, and +1 surge for the next attack (and is then discarded).

Hidden was introduced in The Bespin Gambit.

Perfect.

1. That's was how I played it but, my opponent queried it.

2./3. Hadn't noticed the condition cards. Ignored them as campaign.

You are a star. Many thanks.

you do need line of sight for Bossk's Indescriminate Fire, which is different than some similar effects

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

... continuing from this, as Bossk can only attack once/round, can he activate "indescriminate fire" and then as a second action FIRE as they are both attacks?

Indiscriminate fire is not an attack. It doesn't have the word "attack" in the rule.

So yes, he can perform a normal attack and then use indiscriminate fire.

So what you are saying is that Indiscriminate Fire works the same as Vader's Force Choke? as that also is not (noted as or written as) an Attack.

If this is the case I've been grossly miss using Bossk! I could've been handing out death dealing damage far more than I have been...though even without this new revelation to me he's awesome.

Indiscriminate Fire is not an attack, Force Choke is not an attack, Slam is not an attack. There are quite a lot of abilities that deal damage but are not attacks. It's an attack if it says it's an attack and follows all of the steps of an attack.

(Also note that the declare target step is always performed even when the target of the attack is restricted by the ability in question.)

In addition to not containing the word "attack", Indiscriminate Fire also does not have a target figure, so it cannot be an attack.
