Errata

Grodin Tierce's Clone: Add the following: Unique (Counts as Grodin Tierce)

Karness Muur: Add the following: Melee Attack


Commanders

Master Yoda

Q: Does the attack happen before or after doors?
A: The timing is simultaneous, so the controlling player can decide on the order.

Q: Would bonus that occur on a character's turn still apply, like Momentum or Mighty Swing?
A: It is still part of the character's turn, so yes.

Moff Disra

Q: If Moff Disra gained Line of Sight to an enemy after his Commander Effect was suppressed, would his CE still take effect?
A: No. Moff Distra's Commander Effect must be unsuppressed at the start of a phase in order for it to take effect.


Special Abilities

Bribery

Q: Does Bribery change a character's faction?
A: Yes, if it says that a character is considered to be of a certain faction, like Imperial.

Covert Ops

Q: Does this apply to Twin Attacks?
A: Yes, it follows the same timing as Pheremones.

Muur Talisman

Q: What if there is a tie between who has the most Force Points?
A: The controlling player chooses which of the characters that tied to gain the abilities and Force points.

Trap Door

Q: Can Trap Door affect character's with Emplacement?
A: It can still cause damage to a character with Emplacement, but it can't relocate them.

Versatality

Q: Can I replace the character with a Rebel version if they are in a New Republic squad because of Affinity?
A: No, the character chosen with Versatility must follow the faction building rules.


Force Powers

Talisman Mind Control

Q: What does "does not gain bonuses" mean?
A: That you can't benefit from any Special Ability or Force Power that provides a bonus to the character's stats.

Q: Do penalties still apply?
A: Yes.

thanx Scott for all your work!+ for you

Bastila Shan, Fallen Jedi
Does she have indeed have both Intuition and Surprise Move?

Not really following this train of thought.... Frozen in Carbonite is an ability that comes into play during squad construction. Versatility happens after set-up how are they the same? Maybe you could post a link to the frozen in carbonite ruling...?

Glossary Text---Affinity

The specified character can be in the specified squad even if it belongs to a different faction. That character's faction is now considered to be the same as that squad's. For example, Mas Amedda would have the Imperial faction if he is in an Imperial squad.

So how does the affinity from jaina, not make the other han's considered new republic? it says nothing about during squad building or anything else, just that han can be in your squad? Or is the affinity just not applicable for other character's special abilities?

I don't really follow the logic either...

A bit of a tangent, but by that same logic:

If Marka Ragnos betrayed into your non-Sith squad, and was defeated while in your squad, you would not be able to place his ghost, as that ability is separate from the ability that allowed him to join your squad, and says nothing about breaking faction rules?

If that is correct, it makes sense. With affinity in the mix, not so much for the original question.


How about the Garm reinforcements bringing Ossus into NR interaction? How is that different?

If anything that seems more of a stretch than Versatility, which doesn't specify a faction at all.

[edit] OK, timing is different, during setup rather than after. So the question over affinity revolves around whether it is only "on" before the skirmish begins. There doesn't seem to be anything specific in the FAQ about that situation.

Following that train of thought, can Mon Mothma bring in characters with Republic affinity with her Reserves?

I hope you don't mind if I ask about the epic set interactions.

none shall pass vs levitation. Levitation moves a character and none shall pass prevents a character from moving away. Same question with trap door. As for one with the force, if you put the new anakin solo with him, does ls defense cost nothing?

I don't think the rule is 'using a Force Power once per turn', but 'spending force points once per turn'. (Force Renewal 1 is a force power that is used every turn, but doesn't count toward that limit.) I could be wrong on that, though.

Is Versatility a delayed portion of squadbuilding? (and Pallaeon's CE for that matter)

The main debate is whether a character who brings in another character via Affinity affects all versions of that character? If anyone could somehow find the archives when TFU was released, that would be great. Or I may talk to Nickname to see if he remembers the reasoning.

I've had to do a lot of research to back it up, mainly looking at the Garm examples. Versatility and Frozen in Carbonite do not mention a specific faction nor "regardless of faction". Thus they are more limited. We have the ruling for Frozen in Carbonite. IMO, that ruling applies here.

And yes, Affinity screws up the squadbuilder, and is not always correct. I imagine since the squadbuilder changes a figure's faction when Affinity is used, it would take another layer of programming to prevent all the weird cases that it allows. Just look at how the factions are listed on a figure.
