Glossary Terms
attack
An attack is rolling a d20, adding the
character's
Attack number (including modifiers), comparing to the
target's
Defense, and dealing
damage equal to the attacker's
Damage number (including modifiers). If an offensive ability isn't resolved that way, it doesn't count as an attack.
A character can attack an
enemy as part of its
turnor as an
attack of opportunity. Some
Force powers, special abilities, and commander effects also allow a character to make an attack or attacks, as noted in their text.
