Intimidation??

By drail14me, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Intimidation: While an enemy ship at range 0 defends, it rolls one fewer defense die.

Example:

Arvel has Intimidation. He bumps into Whisper. When Arvel attacks Whisper, she rolls one less defense due to Intimidation.

Next, a Green Squadron Pilot shoots at Whisper at range 2, does Whisper still roll one less due to Arvel and Intimidation?

Yes.

He’s pretty intimidating, it’s his super cool spaceship.

Wow, so Intimidation results in EVERYONE else getting shots with one less defense die and not just Arvel!

Most people, with a handful of exceptions (arvel, rhymer with the right weapons, oicunn, and - crew - zeb) can't shoot at a target at range 0.

If it didn't work for other attackers, Intimidation wouldnt do anything for 99% of the people who can chose it.
