General - Other Actions

[rickyrob]

In the rule book on Pg. 12 there is a sec. Other Action which reads:

Card abilities without the "Action:" header may be resolved when specified on the card and do not count as the ships Action. However, a ship cannot perform the same Action more than once during a single game round (not even when the action is a "free Action").

Does this mean that cards like Varel or other cards with triggers were only ever meant to be used once per round unless otherwise stated on the card?

All cards that contain non-ACTION text abilities that are optionally triggered by a player, may only be used once per round per ship per card .
And Cards with continuous effects may affect multiple dice rolls in a round.
And Cards that state “each time you defend” OR “each time you attack” may be used multiple times per round.
Example 1: If you use Geordi La Forge to force an opposing ship to reroll 1 defense die you may not use it a second time in that round
Example 2: You may discard Varel to cancel an attack. If you stopped her from being discarded you may not use her text again in the same round.
Example 3: You may use Li Nalas to stop your Captain from being disabled. But, if he is reenabled during the same turn, you may not use his game text again that round.
