Rules Q&A
- Q: I win a battle by only 1 Force, and (using A Moment of Truth) search my deck for Hida Amoro (xp 1 or 2, neither of whom has the non-xp's trait). Does my Hida Amoro die because he had the trait when the battle ended, or can I overlay him before checking to see if he dies and save him?
A: Force is checked at battle resolution (i.e., when you count to see who has more force), which is before destruction (the trigger for A Moment of Truth). He'll die. Zen Faulkes, "Hida Amoro and A Moment of Truth", 12 Sep 2007
