Predictive shot & intimidation

I say, let's take the question to its obvious, absurd, ridiculous extreme!

• Republic player has Anakin with Predictive Shot, and an ARC-170 with Intimidation.
• Resistance player has Cova Nell, an a MG-100 with Tactical Scrambler.
• After the activation phase, The ARC is at Range 0 of Cova Nell, who revealed (and executed) a red maneuver.
• Anakin declares an attack (in bullseye) on Cova Nell at Range 3, obstructed by both an obstacle and the "scrambling" MG-100.
• Anakin spends a force to activate Predictive Shot.
• Anakin's attack results in 2 hits.

How many defense dice does Cova Nell roll?

I would say 2.

Cova has 1 base.

Her ability triggered +1 (2)

Range 3 +1 (3)

Tactical Scrambler +1 (4)

Obstacle +1 (5)

Intimidation -1 (4)

Predictive shot then limits her to a maximum of 2.

 

The card ability doesn't kick in until it is determined how many defense dice would be rolled normally IMO

[Pattern Analyzer allowing 2 actions with Nien Nunb?]

Nien 4k's behind enemy ship, but ends at range 2.  PA to boost into range 1. Does his ability trigger at this point, allowing him to clear the stress and perform his normal action step?

[How limiting is Magva Yarro?]

Reading the last sentence on his ability, Han's "reroll" does not count as a reroll for other game effects.  So when using his ability he would have to reroll all, but if he had a target lock, etc he would only be able to reroll a maximum of 1 die.
