RESET

SHORT SKILL / ARO

No LoF

Requirements

Troopers can only Reset if at least one of these is true:

They are the Active Trooper.
In the Reactive Turn, they have a valid ARO, or are targeted by a Hacking Program or other Comms Attack. (See FAQs & Errata.)

Effects

Allows the user to make a Face to Face Roll to evade all enemy Hacking Programs or other Comms Attacks during an Order or ARO, regardless of the Burst (B) value.
This Face to Face Roll pits the user's WIP Attribute against the attacker's WIP Attribute.
If the user is not making a Face to Face Roll (for example they are not the target of a Hacking Program or other Comms Attack), they will instead make a Normal Roll against their WIP Attribute.
Reset does not allow the user to evade other types of Attacks, but the Dodge Skill does.
A successful Reset Roll, whether it's a Normal or Face to Face, allows the user to cancel their Targeted State and IMM-B State, applying any State-specific MODs. (See FAQs & Errata.)

REMEMBER

A Reset only allows Face to Face Rolls against Hacking Attacks and other Comms Attacks.

Q: How do Hacking Area AROs work, and do they allow the Trooper to Dodge?

A: Hacking Program AROs and Reset AROs are considered valid AROs for a Hacker if the Active Trooper is inside the Hacker’s Hacking Area. Dodge AROs are not considered valid for Hacking Area AROs.
