additional actions

By Polenesio, in Rules

I have a, probably, absurd question:

- The free actions don't count for the total actions that a unit performs (usually 2), but they don't abolish the restriction about not using more than once the same action (except for move). So, ok.

- But what happen with the additional actions, like the one of 'son of skywalker'? I mean, this actions allow you to ignore the limit for using more than once an action in your activation, but what happen with the number of actions you perform?

For example, in the case of Son of Skywalker, can you Move+Move, use the free Attack action of Charge, and Attack again because the 'Son' effect? Or you need to employ your second normal action to perform that additional attack?

I apologize in advance for my grammar.

Son of Skywalker actually does not grant an additional action . It grants an additional attack . Note that the word "action" is missing. So by performing that 2nd attack, you do not violate the restriction of "no more than 1 action of each type".

If I understand your other question correctly, you do not need to spend one of your normal actions to use the attack from Son of Skywalker. You just get to do it for free. Again, because it is not an action. Hypothetically, if it said "you may perform an additional attack action" (note that the word "free" is missing) then you would need to spend one of your normal actions.

You can read up on the distinction between attacks and attack actions on page 14 of the RRG. The most relevant part is this:

Quote

During a unit’s activation, it is possible for a unit to perform
more than one attack through the use of card abilities or
other game effects; however, that unit can only perform
one attack action during a single activation, regardless of
whether it is an attack action or a free attack action.

Thanks. I supose that was the correct answer, but I was unable to explain the mechanism of it.
