Claiming ruling

By Darth earthbound, in Star Wars: Destiny

I think I have found a tactic but I am not sure if it'll work. The battlefield Yarvin IV allows you to resolve 1 die without resource cost. And the yellow die card crime lords special requires 5 resources to resolve the special is that still counted as a resource cost since most others are placed below the die side where applicable so can I use the claim effect to resolve crime lords special for no cost?

No you cannot. When a die has a 'cost' that cost appears on the face of the die as a tiny resource symbol accompanied by a number. Crime Lord's special does not have a cost; instead, the resources you pay are part of its card ability, and therefore not affected by anything that lets you resolve a die without paying its cost.

This is also in the rules reference, on page 27:

"Can I ignore spending 5 resources to trigger the special ability on Crime Lord (Aw 23) when I claim Rebel War Room (Aw 171)?

No. The Rebel War Room only ignores the resource cost printed on a die. "
