2 quick questions

[JarJarBot 22]

1. With feeding frenzy the surge to recover is only available when attacking an adjacent figure correct? Like if you equipped it to a rancor you couldn't activate on a reach attack?

2. When Davith uses fell swoop and gains the ability to move 2 spaces could I move into a space containing a hostile figure then out of it to do his 1 damage ability? I've seen people do it but was told today you couldn't cause you don't move into the spaces just up to 2 spaces so you only enter the end space.

Thanks everyone!

1. correct

 

2. yes you can. you move enter and exit every space you move through. What you were told is more like "place figure 2 spaces away". That would be different as it doesn't count as moving through other spaces.

It also specifically says "2 spaces" not "2 movement points" which means you don't suffer any movement penalties like difficult terrain or hostile figures.

That's what I thought on bkth of these, thank you. I tried arguing the Davith thing but he kept saying I never entered the spaces with his ability. Thanks for the clear up!

[Inquisitorsz 334]

The only time when you don't enter or exit spaces is when the ability says "place" 

 

Jump Jets and the Nexu's Pounce are the most common ones.

In these cases you only exit your current square and enter the final square (or squares in the case of a nexu since it's a large figure).

 

Even when abilities "Push" figures, they still count as exiting and entering the relevant spaces

No, move spaces is not a placement, it still moves through the intervening spaces, but without movement penalties.

Thanks on the Davith one I knew I could do it but didn't want to argue, he was a real rule hound lol. Other things that came up;

1. You can't take Initiative when your opponent takes Initiative?

2. You can't son of Skywalker using Luke as the activated character? Ex. I tap like move then shoot, he was the last character so I played son of Skywalker to ready him and use him again since the card says after a figure not after another figure, right?

[a1bert 4,115]

1. When the opponent plays Take Initiative, you have already passed your window of playing start of round cards (see timing conflict resolution order page 2 of the RRG). So, you can't play Take Initiative as a response to another Take Initiative.

 

2. Luke Skywalker is a figure, so I don't see an issue using Son of Skywalker immediately after he has activated. But I'm not a skirmish player, so I don't follow all of the skirmish-related rulings.

Correct. And as a bonus info - that is often overlooked - you can also play Son of Skywalker after you opponent finishes one of his or her activation. In other words, you can play it just before you then decide to activate Luke for a second time that game round.

The take initiative thing is in the latest FAQ. 

 

The Luke thing, there's basically no restriction on when to use it. any figure, any activation. That being said, I never actually considered using it after an opponents activation. That's sneaky. 

[Cremate 539]

That's why I sneaked it in - because it is much more sneaky, by far, than simply using it after Luke went.

I think the Initiative bit has been clarified quite a long time ago, and before the latest FAQ. I do understand why the question keeps popping up for new players unfamiliar with the general timing conflict rules of the game.
