Can the imperial player choose not to apply Dengar's bonus while his TIEs are being flakked by Draven's ship?

I wouldn't think so based off of Dengar's text alone. Seems absolute. Squads either gain counter or counter plus one if within distance of him.

Agreed. Squadron abilities are not implicitly optional like upgrade cards are, and Dengar doesn't say "may" or otherwise specify that it's optional.

That's right, you cannot choose to apply or not apply Dengar.
Here's the rule refference:

• Resolving an upgrade card effect is optional unless otherwise specified. All other card effects are mandatory unless otherwise specified.

In this case it's not an upgrade card effect, but a squadron card, so it's mandatory, not optional.

I love the search feature, I didn't have to ask this question! Thanks to all the posters above.

Its not Necromancy but you may have to plea bargain it down to "preventing the lawful burial of a thread"

I see the same question but about Goran caming up eventually.

In advance: Goran IS optional. It could be changed due to errata though.

I'm not sure. If only there were a forum where people could post these kind of rules questions....

Ruling:

Its not a Necro if the question asked / statement made is legitimate.

(There, indulged in the most deliciously forbidden practice of true but useless answers ?)

I think this needs to be added to the FAQ thread.

Agreed. This will likely come up psudo-regularly, and most everyone of integrity doesn't want to be a Necromancer. ALSO however, is that Dengar imparts " counter " to friendlies automatically, for better or worse. Worthy of being in the pinned FAQ thread.
