Death Troopers and Ten Numb

By TheSapient, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Still new to the game, and probably misunderstand things. Do Death Troopers prevent "spending" stress tokens, such as with Ten Numb's ability?

They only work during the activation phase. Any abilities taking place at other times work fine.

Ugh. Thanks. I need to learn to read!

Although this could become a pretty interesting question with the upcoming Snap Shot (if it works the same and allows Ten to Attack in the activation phase).

Not really. Snap Shot blocks dice mods, and you can't spend the token if you can't mod the dice.

Reference post!

Just to clarify, spend and remove are different keywords.

It's why, for example, Obi-Wan cannot use his ability to replace a focus token that is removed by Hot-Shot Gunner - Obi-Wan specifies a token that is spent .
