FAQ should clarify. I would assume the card text matches the intent. If not, errata is needed. Otherwise the glossary should be brought in line with the card. This one is a bit different as the inital effect is not auto-damage. So if you make the 1st save, it's like evading the dart. If the dart hits you take damage from it, then more from the poison later. I would have assumed the glossary was right based on similarity to other similar ongoing effects, but you make a persuasive case. If you are right, the first save is effectively for 40 dmg: 20 now and 20 later. Each successive save is for 20 dmg, but that next 20dmg is also deferred. In any case, the FAQ and/or Glossary should address the issue.

Might want to put this on the books as it seems (on the surface) to go against stacking rules. Q. Can you Force Alter the same attack more than 1 time if you have MOTF (they hit you make them reroll they hit again you make them reroll again)? A. Yes. Each die roll (or reroll) and use of Force Alter is considered a seperate action. notes: Nickname wrote:(Thinking about it a bit, you're right this is somewhat inconsistant with something like how Block has been ruled, but it's been the ruling for a while and was based on the precedent of re-rolling rerolls which in retrospect perhaps wasn't the best comparison.)

This matches the way the similar abilities (i.e. Corruption) work, so many people were already playing it that way anyway.

The Wheel Bike pieces have both Cyborg and Mounted Weapon. How are they classified? Living, non-living, or both "Living and Non-Living"? The answer is that they are non-living, but it should be in the FAQ.

Lift/Heavy Lift ruling not in FAQ Nickname wrote:The character can only be moved through adjacent squares or the square containing the lifting character.
In the case of Heavy Lift on a Large character with Rigid it cannot pass through a 1 square door that it would not otherwise be able to move through. http://community.wizards.com/comment/12174761#comment-12174761link includes some discussion of interaction with Mines etc. (note: glossary disallows moving through squares occupied by other characters)

The answer is that they are non-living, but it should be in the FAQ. Just some notes to assist with writing the FAQ for this: The reason that a Cyborg with Mounted Weapon is considered nonliving is the definition of living itself: A living character does not have the Mounted Weapon ability and is either a non-Droid or a Cyborg. A Cyborg character counts as both a Droid and a living character, but a character with Mounted Weapon never counts as living.

Counter push cannot move a Strafer into a square that they can't reach the designated landing spot. Just like with Rolling Cleave. good Q to be fleshed out I'm not sure what the Rolling Cleave mention is referring to. But a related question... what if a character uses Major Maximilian Veers' CE to move into the designated landing spot of a Strafer? Is that also disallowed? 1) Probably Clone Speeder with Comm. Ahsoka, and not being able to RC into a space where you then couldn't reach your landing spot. 2) Quote:from the glossary: Prior to using Strafe Attack, this character must designate a legal space to end its move in. Other characters cannot enter this space while this character is using Strafe Attack.

Add QA for Mercenary, after it's brought up to date (probably never changed since RS)
