I apologize if this is in the wrong forum. First time posting, and I'm not sure if this question should be here or in the rules forum.
There are two things in one of the finale missions for HOTE (The Realm of the Dark Side) that are not clear to me. I'm playing the Imperials, and want to make sure I get it correct.
1. The first point in the mission briefing says, "A hero can interact with a terminal to claim it. After he does, that hero may test perception or mechanical. If he does not succeed, increase threat by 1." Is there a typo in there? Is "may" supposed to be "must"? Why would the hero ever attempt the test? He has nothing to gain and could possibly give 1 threat to the Imperials. Or, is there supposed to be some sort of reward if he passes the test? There was something similar in a previous mission, and the hero would gain +1 surge on every attack if he passed the test and claimed the terminal.
2. After the door to the temple opens, I am instructed to deploy the reserved elite probe droid to the Streets. Every other deployment instruction indicates a specific deployment point. This one does not. There is a red deployment point in the Streets. Does it mean that? If so, why not specify that, like it does every other time?
Thanks for any input!
