Wizkids Rules!

During the Activation Phase, before an opposing
player's ship moves, a player may attempt to guess
that ship's maneuver (speed and bearing).

To do so, the guessing player must choose one of his
ships within Range 1-3 of the Active ship and spend
a Mission Token from on top of that ship's Captain
Card.

If an invalid Upgrade is revealed, that ship is
immediately destroyed.

SPECIAL RULES

SQUAD BUILDING

During the Gather Forces step, each ship may purchase one of its [Crew], [Elite Talent], [Tech], or [Weapon] Upgrades for a cost of exactly 3 SP and place it face down beneath its Ship Card. This Upgrade must be of the same faction as the ship it is assigned to and have an SP cost of 5 or less. NOTE: The ship’s Captain must be able to field an [Elite Talent] Upgrade in order to place an [Elite Talent] Upgrade beneath the card. Each of these Upgrades remain face down until a player decides to use them, and then they are turned face up for the rest of the game. If an invalid Upgrade is revealed, that ship is immediately destroyed

When selecting an upgrade to purchase for exactly 3 SP if there is a modifier to the cost of the upgrade does it apply before or after you purchase it for exactly 3 SP?

For example: Say I have a Fleet Captain that allows me to reduce the cost of all tech upgrades by 1 SP. I then choose a 5 point tech upgrade to purchase for 3 SP. Does this upgrade cost me 3 sp (5-1 =4 turns into 3) or 2 (5 becomes 3 -1 = 2) ?

Could "card abilities" be clarified?

Would Ship abilities on the Enterprise-D, Voyager, or Regent's Flagship which affect their primary weapon attacks also be unusable?

What qualifies as an invalid Upgrade?
1. Wrong faction
2. Too high of an SP cost
3. Ship restrictions (can only be purchased for...)
4. Upgrade Slots

If I reveal an invalid upgrade, can I then use Cheat Death?

Can a player guess for each opponent ship in the same round, assuming the player is in range and has the mission tokens to spend? If so, can a ship/captain spend a mission token more than once per round?
