I am watching a YouTube channel covering the rules for Star Wars Legion. One of the things we didn't realize is that key words are applied to the dice pool of the attack. An example was the Rocket Launcher Stormtrooper's "Impact 3" would apply to the pool of white dice if the whole unit fired at a vehicle. This really opens up looking at upgrade cards and what and where you fire with them. The AT-ST is nasty now within range 1-2 with grenade launcher. Thoughts?

I don’t like that. It seems ridiculous that suddenly a stormtroopers rifle has impact or a rebel troopers rifle ion. It should only apply to the weapon with the keyword.

Remember that the number of dice that can be changed is still the same. You are not changing all of them, so the prior example is still 3 critical can be changed from hits. If you compared value of the upgrade it actually makes it worth it. The negative is you are not split firing and the unit still gets saves. It actually improves the value in upgrades and makes army building a bit more interesting

I just don’t like that it doesn’t make sense logically. Don’t fool yourself. The only reason they did it was to simplify dice rolling. Pick up the dice pool and roll it, don’t worry about which weapon each dice came from.

Sure but it also speeds up gameplay. There are pros and cons. I happen to like the simplicity
