1) Does Will Riker(Hood) or Tom Paris add their +1 defense die and dose Riker convert the BS?
2)Can I spend tokens like Evade to add to my defense roll?
3) If my Captain or ship allows me to reroll defense dice may I?
4) What about attack cancelation or mitigation effects such as Rom, who reduces an attack by -2 dice or Diplomacy that cancels that attack? Or IKS Drovana that can discard to cancel a Hit or Crit?
The card clearly states that the attack dice cannot be modified or rerolled? So Karr cannot add his +1 attack or he rerolls not any other of the married effects.
5) What about if my ship has a Scan Token or other upgrade that affects the targes rolling of defense dice, like Nanculas?
6) Would you be willing to answer if there are future plans to further errata this card to better balance the changes you are discussing internally?
This is a normal attack so you can do anything that you can to a normal attack with the exception of modifying or re-roll attack dice. You cannot add or subtract attack dice or results, you cannot convert attack dice, you cannot re-roll attack dice. Additionally, to clarify, there has been no errata to Hidden Explosives all of the above is clarification on how the card works.
