I know that a character cannot spend more than one Force point per turn unless he has Master of the Force. However, when the character is being attacked, it is technically not his turn (I think). Does this mean that he can use Force Powers like Lightsaber Block/Deflect/Reflect/Defense, Absorb Energy, Force Bubble, etc. multiple times even if he doesn't have MotF to block multiple attacks made by the same enemy or not? If not, can he do this if he does have MotF? I'm sure this has been addressed somewhere else, but I can't seem to find anything about this.

a character can only spend force points 1 on any turn. they can spend them on each opponents turn, but unless they have master of the force2 or 3then they cant spend multiple. You also cannot use the same force power on an attack against you, however you may spend a point to re-roll the save. I guess if a character had multiple powers that effected the same attack, and they had master of the force 2, they could spend for both in the case that the first one fails.

So if a character has MotF 2 or 3, can it use the same power (say Lightsaber Deflect) on different attacks from the same enemy (for instance, if the enemy has Twin Attack)? Also, spending an FP to re-roll the save from a Force Power is spending multiple points in one "turn," but you just said that you couldn't do that. Which is it?

Since were on the topic of spending multiple FPs, can a MotF character use something like Lightsaber Assault/Sweep twice? The power replaces all attacks, so I feel like the answer is no. I know this isn't quite related, but it doesn't warrant another thread.

You can use LS deflect on different attacks in the same turn if you have MOTF 2 or greater. It cannot be used twice on the same attack. You can only reroll from a failed save on a force power if you have MOTF 2 or greater.

A character with MOTF 2 or greater cannot use LS Assault/Sweep more than once as their attacks can only be replaced once. If a CE granted them the ability to replace attacks more than once and they had MOTF, then they could do that.

Here's an example:

-Cad Bane decides to attack Grand Master Luke Skywalker (who has 6 force points).
-Cad's first attack hits. GML uses a FP for Lightsaber Defense and misses the save.
-Now GML can decide to use another FP to re-roll the save because he has MOTF 2, but decides not to.
-Cad's 2nd attack hits. GML chooses not to use Lightsaber Defense.
-Cad's 3rd attack crits. GML decides to use his 2nd FP and makes a successful LSD save.
-Cad's 4th attack hits and GML has no choice but to take the damage because he has already used FPs twice during Cad Bane's turn.

Sincerely,
