1) I've found the following entry in a very, very old FAQ. Is this still in effect? Quote:Q: If a character with the Mercenary ability is activated and has a legal target, he must attack before he can move. If he does not defeat this target with his attack, can he move afterward? After all, he is no longer able to attack, so having a legal target is moot, right?
A: No. A Mercenary character can begin moving only if there are no legal targets. Even though he's already attacked and can't attack again, it's still a legal target. 2) The Super Battle Droid has Synchronized Fire (Droid characters who combine fire with this character grant +6 Attack instead of +4). Does it mean, that the Super Battle Droid gains +12 Attack, if 2 Battle Droids combine fire with this Super Battle Droid? 3) The Yuuzhan Vong Subaltern's commander effect would affect the Yuuzhan Vong Elite Warriors, if the following entry would be in the glossary? Quote:Warrior: A Warrior is any character with the word "warrior" in its name or that has the Warrior special ability. It counts as a Warrior and can benefit from special abilities and effects that help Warriors. If additional keywords are in this character's names or special abilities, they may be combined with the Warrior keyword. For example, a Yuuzhan Vong Hunter with the Warrior special ability counts not only as a Yuuzhan Vong Hunter but also as a Yuuzhan Vong Warrior.
Quote:Yuuzhan Vong Subaltern's CE: Allied Yuuzhan Vong Warriors within 6 squares gain Double Attack.
I hope I don't confuse nobody. THERE ISN'T THE WARRIOR ENTRY IN THE GLOSSARY!

1) Yes. There has been no Errata to Mercenary.
2) Yes.
3) Warrior is not a defined ability. As the Subaltern's CE was made before the named/name contains clarification, it's CE is considered to effect any character whose name contains the phrase "Yuuzhan Vong Warrior". The Elite Warrior is not eligible for the CE as his name does not have that phrase in it (Elite breaks it up).
If Warrior became a defined entry (highly unlikely at this point), it would retroactively make the Elite Warrior eligible for the CE.

So, if the Warrior entry would be defined, would the Praetorite Vong Warrior and the Far-Outsider gain Double Attack from the YV Subaltern's CE? Because both character would count as a Warrior from the Yuuzhan Vong faction. I ask this because I want to understand the decision why have got the Far-Outsider "Yuuzhan Vong Warrior" abililty instead of a simple "Warrior" ability. I think they really don't wanted to boost neiter the Praetorite Vong Warrior neither the YV Elite Warrior.

Yes, both those would be affected if Warrior became a defined ability.
However, the Far-outsider is already eligible for the Subaltern's CE as he counts as a character named Yuuzhan Vong Warrior.
As for why Warrior is not a defined ability: The people behind the V-sets do not want to change the characters made by WotC. This means that there will be no additional errata for pre-Vset figures or abilities. When WotC designed the Elite Warrior and the Praetorite warrior, they designed them so that the Subaltern's CE will not effect them. If they wanted the CE to work with those characters, they could have easily defined warrior or altered the names, but they didn't. The V-set people will not change that.

EmporerDragon wrote:2) Yes Is this true? Oh no, we used this skill wrong, at all time! Okay, what example is right? a.) The Battle Droid attacks an enemy character, and the Super Battle Droid (with Sync.Fire) help him with the combined fire. The Battle Droid gets +6 Attack for his attack roll (by the Super Battle Droid). b.) The Super Battle Droid attacks an enemy, and the Battle Droid combines fire. The Super Battle Droid gets +6 Attack (due to the Battle Droid helps). Who get the +6 Attack? The character who has Sync. Fire and attacks (and others help him with combined fire), or the character who attacks and gets help from an character with Sync.Fire? (We used example a.) at all time. So, we used this skill wrong? I don't beleive it :-o )

It's B. The character with Synchronized Fire gets the additional bonus when the specified character combines fire with it.
