Still not Clear on Palpatine and Snap Shot

By pickirk01, in X-Wing Rules Questions

I've read a few older threads in this forum and checked the FAQ's and I am still not clear on this one...

An attacker cannot modify his dice from a snap shot attack but if the source of the modification comes from another ship the dice can be modified. Some examples.

  • M9-G8 forces an attacker to re-roll a die so thats a go.
  • ETahn A'baht says "the attacker" may change a hit to crit but the attacker cannot modify so that's a no go.
  • Any abilities where the defender can change any attack dice results are a go

So, does Emperor Palpatine let you call a crit before rolling snap shot dice to allow you to modify one of them to that result?

As long as Palp isn't on the ship making the Snap Shot attack, yes.

The relevant FAQ to look as is Omega Leader's, which is the mod-blocking effect that's been around longest.

That's about the one place I didn't look.

Thanks!
