“Modify Attack Dice”

[QuantumBerry 2]

Quick question: If I put an “Accuracy Corrector” on “Backdraft”, would adding the crit from his ability count as modifying attack dice? What if Palpatine was in the same list, could I announce his ability, then use accuracy correctors? How would these work?

1. Adding a result is considered a modification, so Backdraft would not be able to add a cit after using Accuracy Corrector.

2. Cancelling dice results isn't considered modification, so using Accuracy Corrector after Palpatine would cancel all results and then add 2 hits.

As a brief refresher, remember that Modifying Dice is explicitly defined as Rerolling Dice, Changing Results, and Adding Results, and nothing else.  Cancelling Results is not a modification, nor is adding not-yet-rolled dice to your roll (via effects like Miranda Doni, or Lightweight Frame).

Accuracy Corrector is kind of like the nuclear option of dice modifications.  Once you trigger it, there's really very little more you can do to your dice.  It also has the effect of undoing everything else you'd done previously... helpful if a target lock reroll doesn't go your way, not so much if you get any freebies from things like Backdraft or Palpatine.

(Fun trivia:  If Omega Leader has you locked, and you try to use Accuracy Corrector against him, the first part (cancelling all of your results) works just fine, because it's not a modification - the second part fails, though.  Meaning you burned all your dice for nothing.)
