General - modifying dice outside of combat phase

[dantron]

Am I allowed to use target lock, captain (5) worf, reroll tactical drone, etc when using admiral worf's ability? Since this free attack falls out of the regular attack phase can I modify dice?

The Target lock, evade, and battle station tokens may only be spent during the combat phase as stated in the manual on page 10.

Any other abilities that do not state they only work during the combat phase may be used to modify attack dice or defense dice outside of the combat phase.

1)Does this mean that the defender's -1 defense for the attacker having a scan token applies as it is not spent but provides a passive effect?
2)Does this mean that the defender's +4 defense for the defender having a cloak token applies as it is not spent and provides a passive effect?

[ketsue]

Do range 1 attack bonus and range 3 defensive bonus still apply during an attack made outside of the combat phase?

1. No, as stated on page 10 of the manual:

A ship with a [Scan] Token beside it during the Combat Phase reduces the number of defense dice rolled by his opponent

2. No, as stated on page 28 of the manual under the Cloak action:

During the Combat Phase, the ship gains +4 defense dice.
