So, this came up last night and everyone at the table was up in the air on it:

Han's Pilot Ability

After you roll dice, if you are at range 0-1 of an obstacle, you may reroll all of your dice. This does not count as rerolling for the purpose of other effects.

Blinded Pilot

While you perform and attack, you can modify your dice only by spending (force) for their default effect. Action: Repair this card

At first I thought Blinded stopped Han's pilot ability, but the passage of "This does not count as rerolling for the purpose of other effects" was what raised the question because we weren't specifically sure what it meant in reference to this situation and could see it going either way.

Thank you for your time.

That's a tricky one. RAW I'd say Han gets to use his ability. "This does not count as rerolling" seems pretty clear. The ways you can modify dice are: Add (a specific result), Change (an existing die to a specific result), Reroll, and Spend. He's not using Add, Change, or Spend as they are defined in X-Wing and his ability says it doesn’t count as a reroll. So based on that Han's ability doesn't meet the definition of dice modification.

RAI it should probably block Han's ability, and I wouldn't be surprised if there's an FAQ for that later, but as of now I'd say yeah Han can still reroll with his pilot ability.

I'm fairly certain that Blinded Pilot would prevent Han's reroll while performing an attack. The "does not count as rerolling for the purpose of other effects", I think means you cannot trigger something off of Han's reroll, but the phrasing is so vague and undefined that I'm honestly not entirely sure what they are intending.

It could mean that it does not count as a dice modification because it does not count as a reroll.

It could mean you can reroll those dice again because it does not count as a reroll.

It is very confusing.

Some official guidance on this would be nice, but it seems likely that Han's ability is still a dice modification, but doesn't count as a reroll for purposes of things that care about rerolling specifically, like an effect that triggers on rerolling a die or the rule that you can't reroll a given die more than once.

It's still a dice modification, it just doesn't count against the normal limit of 1 reroll per round, would be my ruling, but it could do with some clarity.

This threads the needle for me. I'd go with this.
