Yeah, that's what I would think too. Once your Init result has become a 1 and their roll was a [2-20], you use Sense The Future and switch init results.
I don't envy your job, Scott!

If you use Sense the Future against someone running Tactics Broker, does that just mean that your initiative of 1 is now theirs (and you get whatever they rolled)? |

Tactics Broker will still make you roll a 1, after you switch rolls, thus Sense the Future has no effect. |

My assumption would be that you would get what your opp rolled and your opp would get a 1? How else would you switch init checks? Because the ghost says after init is determined I assume it means after regular tactician, tactics broker, recon, etc have been resolved. |

Agreed. "After initiative is determined" is the key wording. Tactics broker should not change the result at that point. Sense the Future is not equivalent to Recon/Anticipation. IMO

Does Republic really need another trump? They already are the strongest faction. I know a ruling on this should be independent of that, but that really sucks. |

You are only switching the physical roll. All modifiers to it still only apply to you. (Tactician, Tactics Broker) It does appear that I may need to tweak the wording a bit to be more clear. |

It makes sense. If your opponent has Tactician +4 and rolls a 7 and you roll a 6, if you switch you don't get an 11 and give him a 6, you get a 7 and he winds up with a 10 (6+4). Right? So all Tacticians actually counter Sense the Future pretty well, since you have to roll X lower than them when they have Tactician +X. |

Wow really. Looks like the mtb is even better. Still the best piece I my eyes. I hate that piece. |

Before a roll was a roll even by a sa. So reserves don't get changed by tactian? |

It's always been that way. See "Natural 20". What was rolled and what the result are two different things. I missed something here, sure. And I will be rectifying it, since I know how it was intended to work. Out of the 4 pages of glossary I had to do for just this one set, I would say I didn't do too badly. |

I don't have a problem with how it works. I think qui-Gon is more of a fun piece to pair with a reserves squad anyway. MTB is such a hard build to run that I don't mind it being immune to dead qui-Gon. |

Yeah, quite a monster of a glossary for one set. You've done very well. I think the way it works makes sense and is balanced. --- In general, I'd like to see more emphasis on the card text giving enough info to understand how stuff works at a glance. This one would have been clearer if it mentioned that modifiers are applied after the roll switch. I understand it isn't always possible with complex effects, and space on the card can be an issue, as in this case. Not complaining, just something I think could help lower the learning curve as the game continues to expand.

For the most part, we've done pretty well getting almost everything on the card text. There were a few cases where glossary expansion was necessary (Advanced Door Gimmick). |

Agreed, and much better than WotC managed with some stuff. I didn't intend to suggest there is a big problem. Just something to keep an eye on.
