Using fenn rau's ability, does using a reinforce token considered spending a token?

I cant find anything that says one way or another. I know adding an evade result is considered modifying, thus able to be affected, but since fenn rau says you cant spend any tokens, does it count?

Do you need to spend the reinforce token to add the evade? No. Ergo, Fenn doesn't affect it.

When an enemy ship inside your firing arc at Range 1-3 becomes the active ship during the Combat Phase, if you are not stressed you may receive one stress token. If you do, that ship cannot spend tokens to modify its dice when attacking this round.

In what situation could a ship use a reinforce token while it's attacking? I can't think of any, so I don't see any situation where Rebel Fenn could affect a reinforce token.

Clearly this needs to be fixed and fast! Perhaps if we all shout loud enough FFG will do an emergency FAQ making sure Fenn+ Ghost should reign supreme!

Yeah, Like @Dunderwood pointed out, Rebel Rau only affects offensive use of tokens, like spending a target lock to reroll dice or using a focus on red dice. He does not affect defensive uses of tokens, like evade tokens and a focus on green dice. Reinforce is a defensive token so, Rebel Rau doesn't interact with it at all.

What about Fenn and Keyan? Keyan says remove, not spend, therefore shouldn't be affected by Fenns ability correct?

Now that is an interesting question. I'm not really sure. It seems that by RAW, Rebel Rau shouldn't affect Keyan's stress use.

Someone better at rules lawyering than me should have a look at that one.

Check the rules section for that. There are several threads about it and it seems the consensus so far is that remove does not equal spending thus Keyan may use his ability.

I believe I've found one of the threads @tsondaboy is talking about.

Iirc there’s just a handful of tokens that are spent, those being the ‘positive’ ones. TL, focus, Cloak, reinforce (rarely). Stress, ion, tractor, jammer, disabled, all those red tokens only get removed, never spent. Condition and critical tokens also just get removed, since they are just reminders to look at a temporary rules card anyway.

Nomenclature be crazy.
