Just a quick one. We tried out the rebel medic droid last night and hit a few snags that weren't clear from the rules reference.

noncombattant: the rules state that all other units except the unit leader must suffer wounds before the noncombatant. So does the droid in this case add a wound to the unit from its participation and can it be shot at, or do regular units suffer wounds, and the droid get bypassed once you're down to only the droid and the leader. We played the former, but I think the rules could be clearer.

Treat x: capacity x: Can this be used to restore a comander to combat. We assumed so but it didn't really state what to do with excess wounds. We had a Jyn Erso bite it, but I restored her with the medic droid within range. When we restored her I gave her 5 wound tokens. Was this correct. The definition of unit and trooper seemed to confirm so, but there was no instruction on what to do re:wounds from the restored mini. At a glance it looked like you could really only restore a mini to a multi mini unit, but we coundn't find anything that said a commander didn't count.

Also Danger sense. on pathfinders they can elect not to remove supression, but do you have to do a rally anyway and then ignore it. I'm thinking here of inspire 1 on Pao's card. Inspire 1 seemed to be a mandatory effect therefore a roll should take place and its results ignored, rather than bypass a roll. Is this correct?

thanks

Noncombatant: It just means your dudes have to die in this order

1. chumps

2. med droid

3. leader

The exception is if someone can line up a shot where only your droid can be seen by incoming fire. Then they can knock off your droid by itself. Same way it can happen with a special weapon or leader.

Treat: You can't put a commander back on a table. You can only return a mini to a unit that is still in play, such as adding a wookie to the other two wookies that are still in play.

Danger sense: you should be able to roll and just ignore the roll for rally. Inspire is just a step after the rally step. every unit has a rally step even if they don't need to roll for suppression.

It adds a hit point to the unit, but must be defeated immediately before the leader. However, your opponent can still snipe it out of your unit using LOS tricks so be careful about where you position it. If it’s the only mini in LOS it suffers the wound regardless of how many other minis still exist.

This doesn’t work because you need to have range 1 to a unit to use Treat. You don’t have range (of any distance at all) to a unit that is off the board.

The part about how many wounds to put on a restored mini is correct, you just can’t use the ability in this case. It must be a multi-mini unit that still has some minis on the board.

Gotcha. We played the first one correctly but the second one was a big way off. Thanks

Reading this sparked a question of my own. I don't mean to jack the thread, but it seems silly to make a new one for this. If the unit commander is killed before the medical droid (most likely due to LOS constraints), does the medical droid still just.. morph into a unit commander? I know that's the case if it were a heavy weapon or trooper.

Yes, the medical droid forgets he doesn't know how to fight and become the new unit leader.
