1) Does kohoun infestation have to attack the nearest enemy?

2) Can kohoun infestation pass directly through a square occupied by an enemy character to hit another enemy character.

1) So, kouhoun infestation bends around walls and open doors, but not droid or living enemies, right?

2) If they have kohoun infestation and accurate shot (somehow), could they then target an enemy that is not the nearest enemy?

Glossary Text

Instead of taking its normal turn, this character deals 60 points of damage to one living enemy within 12 squares. Line of sight is not needed, but you can't trace a path through a wall (count around it instead). The target can avoid the damage with a save of 11.

Kouhun Infestation

Q: How do you count the range to a potential target of Kouhun Infestation?

A: You count range just as you would count for any special ability -- diagonals count as 2 squares, but squares containing low objects and difficult terrain do not. You have to count around walls as normal, even though you don't need line of sight to the target. The range is measured along the shortest path to the target. See the glossary definition of range for more details.

Q: Does Kouhun Infestation work through closed doors?

A: No. (Attack of the Clones demonstrates that they can't even get through windows without a little help!) As noted in the glossary, you can't count range through a wall, and a closed door is treated as a wall for all purposes.

Q: What about the fact that this ability doesn't require line of sight? Wouldn't that mean it should work through walls or closed doors, anyway?

A: No. Line of sight is normally a requirement for any target of special abilities (just as it would be a requirement for a normal attack). Dropping that requirement does not change how range is measured.

Q: If Kouhun Infestation is used against a target not in line of sight, how would that work with the cover and adjacent enemy requirements for targeting enemies?

A: First, if Zam Wesell has an adjacent enemy, she would not be able to use Kouhun Infestation against any nonadjacent target. (This is exactly the same as any other attack or special ability.) Second, a target not in line of sight would automatically be considered to have cover. Obviously, it would be impossible to draw an unobstructed line to all parts of the target's space. Thus, Kouhun Infestation can't be used against a target not in line of sight unless that target is also the nearest enemy.

Q: Do I need to make an attack roll for Kouhun Infestation to work, or does the target merely need to be within range?

A: Kouhun Infestation is not an attack, so no attack roll is required. The target does get a save, though.

Q: Can I use defensive abilities such as Lightsaber Deflect against Kouhun Infestation? How about a Destroyer Droid's Shields?

A: Lightsaber Deflect and similar abilities can't protect against Kouhun Infestation because they apply only against actual attacks. In contrast, Shields or Damage Reduction would apply against Kouhun Infestation because the ability reduces damage from any source, not just attacks.

Zam Wessel's card says, "damage to 1 enemy within 12...". I assume this is an errata and it should read a "non-living enemy", right?
