Hi all,

I'm wondering what does the capacity of FN-2199 mean.

when it reads : After you play a weapon on this character, roll that weapon die, If able , what does it mean "if able" ? does it mean that we have to respect the rules that says that we can't roll the die of an upgrade we just added to a character if this character has already been exhausted (and his dice rolled) ? Or can we roll the said die even if the attached character has been already been exhausted ?

Thanks

Elrad

The latter.

This was discussed a while ago as well, here's one of the threads:

I think that the general consensus was that Nines doesn't really have a case where the "if able" applies, because he can always use it. It seems that his ability triggers just fine if he's ready, exhausted, has dice in his pool, doesn't, even after claiming the battlefield and playing an upgrade using Imperial Armory... my only guess is that at some point, there'll be a weapon that doesn't have a die (a common or an uncommon) and therefore you won't be able to roll its die into the pool.

What if the weapon rolls a resource cost side. Can we pay the resource then resolve? Also if we roll baton are we allowed to re-roll. So example play Baton use FN's ability to roll it in. It hits a blank so we re-roll. It hits the 1 resource cost--3 melee side. We pay the resource cost and finally resolve Baton for 3. Does this work?

Yes. Paying the resource is part of the resolution.

Yes.

No. You can re-roll or resolve, but not both.

This.^

I believe those were also the general consensus on the various threads that this was discussed on.

This what I thought.

You can roll a "+" damage on a weapon die. In that case you could not resolve it because those must be resolved in conjunction with a non "+" damage die result of the same type. Slo that is an example of "if able".

The "if able" refers to rolling the die, not to resolving it. You can't resolve a modifier, but that's not because of the "if able", it's because of the game's rules.

I honestly feel like this card is a typo/grammatical error and the if able is supposed to be for the resolve portion but somebody done goofed and terminated the sentence at the wrong spot.

They may at some point make a weapon which does not have a die associated with it. In that case you would not be able to roll in the die because the die does not exist. For now, the text is superfluous.

It would appear to be some form of future proofing for any weapon FFG print in the future that may have additional requirements to roll it into the pool.

FFG could conceivably print a weapon in the future where you have to pay a resource to actually roll the die in, in this instance were FN to try to roll in such a weapon without having a resource available to pay for it he would not be able to roll it in.

I do see where it might not be needed though. Because the "if able" part is pretty obvious if there's no dice in existence that goes along with your weapon. The card does seem to make just as much sense (and obey the same rules) saying either of the following:

"After you play a weapon on this character, roll that weapon die. If able, you may immediately resolve it."

"After you play a weapon on this character, roll that weapon die. You may immediately resolve it."

You guys are hair splitting here.

For now there is no instance where FN is not able to roll his weapon dice.

Like @Mace Windu said - its obviously future proofing the card.

thanks for your answers.
