Mod Idea: Resilient Plating

By Boba Rick, in X-Wing

Modification: Resilient Plating

Cost: Your Agility Value

You may discard this card to perform one of the following:

- Turn one face up damage card assigned to you facedown.

- Immediately before receiving damage cards, roll green dice equal to your agility value in order to cancel damage with evade results. You may modify these dice as normal.

This helps aces deal with bomb and it gives fatty Ghost/Decimator ships an alternative as well.

I recommend changing the timing:

“Before suffering damage from a source other than attack.”

That way it can’t be used to give a ship a second set of defense dice steps during an attack that should have otherwise hit.

Interesting idea. I might alter the second clause to say: "When you would be dealt damage outside of the combat phase you may roll a number of green dice equal to your agility value. If you roll at least 1 <evade> result, ignore all damage dealt to you until the end of this phase."

This would allow it to work against sabine's extra damage and it would make it less guaranteed since you cannot modify.

I'm thinking a combination of the TIE Silencer title and the BSF-only mod.
