A few beginner's questions

By gemixin, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Hi there

I am new to X-Wing and loving it so far. I have a few questions though that I *think* I know the answers to...but would love clarification:

1. When performing a manoeuvre that causes the manoeuvre template to leave the play area, but my ship starts and ends completely on the battlefield...is this allowed and the ship doesn't get destroyed? My thought: yes this is allowed.

2. Can I use a focus and evade in the same defence dice roll? So focus to change eye balls and then evade to add an evade? Could I also use a target lock before all that to re roll the blanks? My thought: yes this is allowed.

3. With secondary weapons, can you use target locks and focus as normal? So I can still change the dice results just as with primary attacks? My thought: yes this is allowed.

4. If another ship (ship A) moves first and bumps in to my ship (ship B), I know that ship A can't take an action. However, if my ship B then executes his manoeuvre and ends up away from other ships, can I take an action? Is it the bumper not the bumpee that can't take an action only? My thought: the ship that does the bumping is the ship that can't take an action so in this example, ship B could take an action.

Thank you in advanced!

1: yes.

2: Yes, but note, no more than one of each token for its default effect per attack.

3: Yes, if the weapon doesn't cause the toke to be spent in its text.

4: Only the ship that bumps skips its perform action step.

You can't use a target lock on a defense dice roll, but otherwise everything sounds right there.

Thank you so much.

No idea why I had target locks in the question of defence dice!

1. Yes. Ship only "counts" when it is at its starting and stopping point. Where the template goes doesn't matter for edges.

2. Target Lock for Defense??? Unless you have something that allows that TL will not alter your Defense Rolls. Using on an Attack is probably IS recommended to use TL to reroll dice before spending a Focus token to change dice; once the Focus is done if you then TL and reroll eyes they stay that way.

3. It all depends on. If you're required to spend that token as part of making the attack then you get none of the normal benefit. If you still have the token after making the attack (you don't need to spend it) then you may use it for its normal effect.

4. You have that one right.
