Hi everybody! Are you sick of my fun rules questions yet? Well tough luck because I've got another one for you.

By now we are all familiar with the vaguely worded Leia Organa [Resistance crew]:

And now, Seasoned Navigator:

On the surface, these wouldn't interact, because if you use Leia to reduce the difficulty of a maneuver and then change your dial, clearly she's not working anymore. BUT the abilities have the same timing, so in theory one could resolve Seasoned Navigator first to change the dial before resolving Leia. This is where Leia's sloppy wording comes into play: she reduces the difficulty of "that maneuver." Which maneuver--the one that was originally revealed? Or the one that is currently on the dial when her ability is resolved?

I'd allow offsetting difficulty adjustments, with Leia reducing the difficulty of the one Seasoned Navigator increased.

this seems pretty simple, even though leias wording is still terrible.

maneuver is revealed. leia and seasoned navigator trigger and are put into the queue. the player chooses to use seasoned navigator first to change to another maneuver. the difficulty of that maneuver is then decreased by leia. you move on. when the maneuver is being executed, it's difficulty is increased by s easoned navigators effect.

or

maneuver is revealed. leia and seasoned navigator trigger and are put into the queue. the player chooses to use leia first to decrease the difficulty of the maneuver. seasoned navigator then changes to a different maneuver. you move on. when the maneuver is being executed, it's difficulty is increased by the seasoned navigators effect - and leia would have done nothing relevant.

seems pretty obvious which one of the two options is more useful. can't see why it wouldn't work either.

three crew slots is not very common anyway. good luck making it useful.

This all over. It's a very clear interaction that can work or not work at the instigating player's option.

Why they'd choose for it not to work is not clear, but there you go.

Just wanted to point out that Leia can be on a different ship other than the one with seasoned navigator 🙃
