I played a game where Aurra Sing ended up in melee with General Kenobi. Can she claim the +4 for Careful Shot when she is technically “in melee,” or does the rule assume shooting at close range?
In the game, there is no such thing as “in melee.” There are only “melee attacks,” and those are produced only by characters with the Melee Attack special ability. (See the Attacks section in this article for more details.) A character with Melee Attack can attack only an adjacent foe; however, the opposite is not true. A character without Melee Attack can attack an adjacent foe. Furthermore, a special ability that grants a bonus to Attack works against both adjacent and distant targets unless the special ability’s rules specifically say otherwise. Therefore, Aurra Sing can indeed use Careful Shot against an adjacent target. Cleave and Rolling Cleave Q: When exactly does the Cleave or Rolling Cleave take place? For example, say Darth Maul has only 20 hit points left and moves adjacent to Padm Amidala and Anakin Skywalker (who also has just 20 hit points left). Darth Maul attacks Anakin and hits. Darth Maul will do enough damage to defeat Anakin, allowing him to make a Rolling Cleave at
