TLT and other card interaction

By Mcpolle, in X-Wing Rules Questions

We had a game or two today, where we had the one side with TLT, shooting against ships that had Selflessness next to them, and draw their fire, we came to the conclussion that neither card would help against TLT because the hits were cancelled, is this correctly understood??

Thanks

You dun gud.

Yeah, this is pretty clearly defined on the cards as Selflessness reads "All uncanceled [hits]" and TLT says "...then cancel all dice results." So there are no uncanceled hits.

And in case anyone wants to blame the TLT for that mess the Ion Cannon & Turret will both work the exact same way. Look for a hit and then cancel the remaining results before saying the target suffers damage.

thx, this is what we thought, but we just wanted to check

And Tractor Beam cannon. I had this come up at a store champs with Tractor Cannon vs. Biggs. The Biggs List Player wanted to cancel crits and hits with selflessness/draw their fire in order to prevent Biggs from being hit. As TO I had to point out both cards say "When a friendly ship at Range 1 is hit by an attack." This means that, even if the weapon used didn't cancel all results, selflessness/draw their fire would not be able to prevent the "on hit" game affect anyway (like with Lt. Blount handing out Assault Missiles). I completely forgot that selflessness & draw their fire wouldn't even have anything to target with their abilities as the hit & crit rolled would be canceled by the weapon...I did say "Tractor Beam cannon does do any damage, just assigns the tractor beam token on a hit." - would've been more helpful of me to have remembered why tractor beam cannon deals 0 damage... :huh:
