The FAQ reads:

" Focus, evade, and target lock tokens cannot be spent for their normal effect more than once during the "Modify Attack Dice" and "Modify Defense Dice" steps. For example, a ship cannot spend 2 evade tokens to add 2 evade results. However, a ship can spend more than 1 of each token on different effects, such as spending 1 focus token as the cost for Calculation and another focus token focus token for its inherent effect" (p.5).

The Rules Reference reads:

" A card ability cannot be resolved more than once during the timing specified on the card " (p.8).

Norra Wexley reads:

" When attacking or defending, you may spend a target lock you have on the enemy ship to add 1 Focus result to your roll. "

Shara Bey reads:

" When another friendly ship at Range 1-2 is attacking, it may treat your blue target lock tokens as its own. "


Does either of those two rules prevent Norra from spending two target locks, her own and one of Shara Bey's, to add two dice with focus icons to her attack roll in a single attack?

There is also the rule for Card Abilities: "A card ability cannot be resolved more than once during the timing specified on the card."

(Rules Reference page 8)

If Norra is attacking, you may use 1 Target Lock from Norra to add a focus, and a second target lock from Shara to reroll dice. You may use Norra's target lock to reroll dice and use Shara's target lock to add focus. You may not spend two target locks to reroll dice. You may not spend 2 target locks to add two focus results.

There is also the rule for Card Abilities: "A card ability cannot be resolved more than once during the timing specified on the card."

The timing specified - When attacking or defending.

In answer to the OP: The above referenced rules reference quote prevents Norra from spending two target locks, her own and one of Shara Bey's, to add two dice with focus icons to her attack roll in a single attack.

And that's the one that applies and stops you from doing it twice.

I agree - but my opponent and the TO was of a different opinion.

I tend to not be too fussed with the outcome of a rule uncertainty during a game - as in not being too fussed with how it will be ruled on in the situation (and the TO is always right, regardless) - but I'm very curious about game design and design choices so I tend to try to dig a bit deeper after a tournament so that I know how things tic for the next time around.

Me and my opponent were just having a relaxed match as it were, so I just rolled with it (and the pain on my poor TIE Bombers, ouch) adding that it would probably be a good idea for him to have a second look at it (and at the next FAQ) so he doesn't bring this build to the upcoming Regionals in case it doesn't work the way he expect it to.

Norra's ability starts with " When attacking... " so that sets the timing window , which also creates the once per opportunity restriction. It doesn't matter how many times Norra can get the use of a target lock during the attack, but the once per opportunity rule limits how many times the ability can be used.

At regionals, I would ask the TO specifically with regard to this build for their interpretation. If they say you can do it twice, ask about the once per opportunity rule and why it wouldn't apply in this case. That should get them thinking.
