Do special abilities that replace attacks (like missiles) work with Mon Mothma's commander effect, or does it have to be an actual attack?

Make an attack, not replace attack.

Well said, Lilywan,

@Naarkon,
_NickName_ and Sithborg suggested that, it wouldn't be possible to do that, "Missiles Deathshot"/"Flamethrower, Thud Bug, etc" deathshot,
because 'replaces attacks' is only the attacks you can make as part of the character's activation on their turn. Thats the ruling in 'official' situations, because thats how the game was designed.
However, if you're playing houserules, and your opponent agrees,
you could home-rule that people can use replaces attack abilities when CE's grant it BigGrin

It could lead to some interesting situations.

Thanks.

Twin attack would work in that situation, right, as well as with attacks of opportunity?

Is there a document that has this sort of errata? I looked around but didn't find one.

The FAQ cover most things. It has this under "Replaces Attacks:

Quote:
Q: When can a character use a special ability or Force power that replaces attacks (such as Force Lightning)?

A: A special ability or Force power that replaces attacks can be used only during a character's turn. A character cannot use a special ability that replaces attacks when it is granted an extra attack, such as when an enemy provokes an attack of opportunity or a commander grants an immediate attack


The last part about a commander granting an immediate attack is the best example of death shots.

You can find the FAQ here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/94b3f86ypxwje0s/AACnXETHgmGMG9VWF4LiCt_za/Final%20WotC%20resources/StarWarsMinis_FAQ_WotC_Final.pdf?dl=0

And yes, Twin Attack does work in that situation. Twin with Mon Mothma is actually a specific example used in the FAQ to explain that Twin Attack can be used when making any attack.
