Snap Shot and defenders dice modification.

By Minimono, in X-Wing Rules Questions

If there is dice modifications for the defender when snap shot is used, is that allowed?

for example if the defenders got blocket by someone with intimidation, or of Wedge is using snap-shot.

„Attack: Your dice cannot be modified.“

Since the „you“ refers to the attacker the restriction only applies to the attacker and not the defender.

Modifying defenders dice is allowed, for example using Zuckuss(crew), or Juke(for those with two talent slots and tons of points to burn).

Adding extra dice is also allowed, so empire has 3 pilots who can add a 3rd snap shot dice(Gideon, Scourge and Sabbac). Scum can add a 3rd dice with Zuckuss(pilot) at the cost of defender rolling an additional defense dice, and Ahhav can add a 3rd dice against medium/large ships.

As has been said, only the attack dice cannot be modified. Defense dice are still modifiable.

Also, Intimidation and Wedge do not modify dice as Adding or Removing dice is not a modification.

Graz can also add a 3rd die, if behind the defender.

Consider the following: An with Snap Shot and Juke performs an evade action during its activation. When an enemy Luminara Undilu moves into Snap Shot range, the A-Wing may attack, though its attack dice can't be modified by Luminara's ability. HOWEVER, Luminara's defense dice CAN be modified with Juke.
