When I would use Aurra Sing, Jedi Hunter, I would run up to a few characters and use blaster barrage. For example, there are 6 enemies in a hallway. When I use the ability Blaster Barrage:(Force 1, replaces attacks: Can attack every legal target once) and she has the ability lightsaber as well:(+10 Damage against adjacent enemies), do I get the +10 damage against adjacent enemies? And would her twin attack apply to Blaster Barrage?

Yes, Twin Attack works with Blaster Barrage and She would get the lightsaber bonus against any adjacent enemies.

Keep in mind though that if any enemies are adjacent when she uses Blaster Barrage, those would be the only enemies affected as you only check the legal targets at the beginning of Blaster Barrage.

Just think about it for a second... would a "blaster" attack be able to use a "lightsaber" bonus? Does that make any sense at all?

Then ignore whatever answer you come up with because it doesn't matter whether or not it makes sense.

It's not a real lightsaber, it's a special ability designed to do two things. Ignore DR when attacking adjacent, and to add damage when attacking adjacent. It could have been named, "Hoogle Smoozle +10" and function the exact same way. There are plenty of other abstractions made in this game, in fact, the entirety of the game is an abstraction, including blaster barrage. Explain to me this. How (using real world logic) would a person with a blaster attack when surrounded, attack all 9 people at once???? The ability itself is complete non-sense. So please, remember that we all must accept some level of abstraction to play a game, this is the rules forum, so people need to see how the rules interact. Commentary and suggestions for improvements likely should be posted elsewhere :)

So if i use the SA Furrios Assault, and i can see an Ugi and a Diplomat, i can´t kill the Diplomat after the Ugi is dead ? because i have to check legal targets befor i use the SA ?? Blink

Doesn't seem fair, does it? However, that ability would be insane if it did allow attacking targets as they became legal after it began. You wouldn't need accurate to totally wreak havoc. Scared

Explaining billiv15's comment. The Force makes you faster than you otherwise would be, allowing you to pull the trigger faster and slow time so that you can see more people to put a bolt through their head. And my two-cents worth on the main question: the ability is "blaster" not "lightsaber", so my illustrius ruling, for anyone who cares, is that the lightsaber would not stack with the blaster. Sith Spawn has spoken. Hooraah.

Which is incorrect, as has been explained in this thread. Please do not try to cloud the issue.

Ah, but it is the Dark Side that has clouded this thread!
