Can a character with 0 Damage make an attack, eve though it wouldn't deal any damage if it hits? I remember that there was a discussion about this in regards to the Treadwell Droid, but I don't think that there ever was a definitive ruling.

No, you could attack your opponent's Bastila to turn theirs off.

Yes, you can make attacks with 0 damage, triggering effects that may happen when hit. I remember hearing a story of Throne Palps (with 10hp left) attacking Loda and being killed by LS Reflect as a result. As to the Treadwell Droid, since it has It's a Trap! it can attack a character with Aggressive Negotiations to shut off Diplomat. 0 damage attacks will not shut off Force abilities unless the attack would cause that enemy to make a save. glossary wrote:... Force abilities that don't last until the end of the skirmish are negated prematurely if the character using it rolls a save, spends Force points, makes an attack, or is dealt damage. ...

Huh I always thought you just had to be attacked, not damaged...I could never keep track of that list anyway.

0 damage attacks will not shut off Force abilities unless the attack would cause that enemy to make a save. Thanks for the answer! I thought that was how things had ended up, but I wasn't completely sure.

The general definition for "Force ability" is listed here under Glossary Terms, for future reference.
