As stated on Ordo's card, would VSR's "ignoring cover" then affect characters with stealth but not those with SS?

Wouldn't it be like LS Throw 3/5. So it works on SS and Cloaked.

I guess that's my question, I would think it follows the targeting rules. Similar to the Epic Mara question but say in your case you were to run your Vongs who mostly have stealth and if Nom was lurking giving them SS; would VSR get through?

Ignoring cover would allow it to get past any SA/FP that requires cover, such as Stealth, Super Stealth, and Cloaked.
I will be putting the full glossary defination in the FAQ, which should be going up soon. Verpine Shatter Rifle does not follow normal targetting rules, which has some odd interactions I will be covering in the FAQ.

So then the logic would follow that, TPM's Execute Order 66 would also go out the window against VSR.

Verpine Shatter Rifle would ignore Execute Order 66 and The Phantom Menace.
ARC Ordo does give out Verpine Shatter Rifle to ARC Troopers.

That was my point exactly, as the ARC Snipers are a great fit with Ordo. In summary as neither of Epic Palpy's tricks will work against VSR, proceed to Ouch!

ARC Ordo does give out Verpine Shatter Rifle to ARC Troopers. So the VSR attack does not follow targeting rules? (and this will be covered in the glossary?) The Phantom Menace specifically states "does not count as a legal target for choosing targets if the attacker is more than 6 squares away". That is where my thinking came from...

Ho noes. Hope you make that Lightsaber Defense or Evade roll.

I'm not following the logic on why VSR can target the Phantom. The wording is the same as Lightsaber Throw 3/5, so can those also target him?

I will hopefully have the FAQ and key glossary entries up later tonight or tomorrow. EDIT: Maybe not. This specific issue might have to wait.
