Multiple stress tokens?
Published on 25 February 2013 - 23:56:38

Is it possible to get more than 1 stress token? At first it seems that obviously no, but a few special abilities leand themselves to it, and the rule book specifically says remove one stress token when you take a green maneuver.

Examples of specials that lend themselves to more than 1 stress token include Tycho's ignoring stress token for actions+push the limit or expert handling and Kath's dealing stress for canceling crits.

I'm an ethical crackpot.

There are indeed some ways to gain multiple stress tokens, only one of which would be removed with each green maneuver.

This has happened to me. I've gotten a stress token, then recieved a Crit that applied another one. It sucks but you can't get more than one. 

 

A question regarding that then, if you were playing with Soontir Fel, he would be able to get multiple focus tokens then right? You just can't get duplicate actions during your action step or am I mistaken?

You are correct.  You can only take 1 focus action during a round, but if there is another way to gain a focus token (such as Garven Dreis or Fel) then you can end up with (and spend) multiple focus tokens during the round.

   I don't think that you can get more than one action of the same, even a free focus, I remember that I read that in the rules, greettings.

You cannot take the same action twice, even as a free action, true. However, if you are able to gain a focus token some way other than using a focus action (Garven for instance), you can spend as many focus tokens as you gain.

They have said exactly what dbmeboy said.  This is one of the questions in the FAQ.

Oh Yes the FAQ said that this is the reference, thanks, greettings.

 

Q: Can a ship have more than one focus or evade token assigned to it?

A: Yes. A ship cannot perform the focus or evade actions more than once during a round, but a game effect (such as Garven Dreis’ pilot ability) may assign additional tokens to a ship.

yes if you take tycho celchu in an a wing with the push the limit card you can end up with a lot of stress tokens, my record is 6 in one game.

Really 6 Wow, and you could remove all, or you finish the game with this???, greettings.

Each green maneuver removes a single stress.  So the odds of you cleaning them off is pretty small.

But Tycho doesn't care, that's the whole point :)

The only problem will be that it can't perform a red Maneuver, but I think it will be overpass, greettings.

This needs a FAQ soon. Due to I can't see where it says you can get more than one. And I see why you should.

Pg 17

"While a ship has at least one stress token, it cannot execute red maneuvers or perform any actions (even free actions)."

The "at least one" makes it quite clear that ships may have more than one Stress token. There are several ways in the game to gain more than one Stress token, this would have been explicitly noted as not allowed if it were capped at 1. This really doesn't need an FAQ.
