I know this has been asked before but I couldn't find the answer.
Can the noble get opportunist from the likes of Thrawn, or cunning from Jabba?
Thanks

Thanks,
So a character who has no attack or damage can get boosted by another figure. Or are there exceptions to this?

Droids Basically due to the Mouse droid (who can get a boosted Attack from the BDO) all SA's or CE's that grant damage to Droid have specifically stated they must have a base damage greater than 0.

Unless I missed something, Advanced Battle Meditation will grant damage to a Mouse Droid.

I noticed this also. It's not a CE so it should work.

Maybe not but it would be cool for my mouse to put the smack down on an uggie.

ABM does not work with mice. See the Bastilla, JM thread.

I see. Thanks. I guess it wouldn't work with the noble either...??

Unless they get a non-conditional boost to their damage stat (i.e. Stormtrooper Commander). If they get that, they can combine fire.

I agree with you LBPB, but characters that are unable to attack (technically) should have a - (dash) through Attack and Damage, instead of a 0 (zero), as SOME characters do. Why some do and some do not was probably just design oversight that we have to deal with, unless a list is published of characters that are never able to Attack.

This is how the rules work, as intended from all the way back in ROTS (please see R2-D2, Astromech Droid, with an Atk rating, but a printed damage rating of 0). "Realism" has always been a tricky thing in this game. The rules do their best, but there are oddities that must be accepted for a streamlined rules system.

I agree in overall, but a little errata won't hurt on this particular aspect. Listing the characters who can't attack at all, is not a such huge task, and this will prevent players to use the biggest cheat of the game...
