    A few question regarding Xenotech (feel free to add yours) :
    • When the xenotech use "PLACE MULTISCANNER", who does the WIP roll ? The xenotech or the trooper ? If the xenotech, what is his WIP ?
    • What happen if the xenotech is deployed with someone with a deployement skill (advanced deployment, infiltration...) ?
    • What is the Xenotech move value ?
    • If I understand correctly, all you to do to place the multiscanner is to be 4" away from your deployment zone. So 2 move are necessary (as with one move, your base is still within 4") ?

    The Xenotech is a Neutral Civilian, so MOV4-4, WIP11 and has no Deployment Skills to let it start outside the Deployment Zone.

    As per the G:Synchronized rules, the Synchronized trooper (the Xenotech) is the one declaring, performing and rolling.

    At least, if you have the right specialist on the table you may add +3 to his WIP

    WIP14 in almost all cases, unless someone's hunted down your Specialists.

    Still adds a lot of rng that favors high-order lists.

    Does the Xenotech provoke AROs when activated?

    Oh god please say no.

    Otherwise Xenotech outside smoke provokes ARO sync'd to MSV2 trooper inside smoke. Enemy AROs to Xenotech. MSV2 trooper shoots enemy on normal rolls....

    It's a Neutral Trooper. The AROs that can be provoked by a neutral Trooper are few (White Noise is the only one I'm certain of).

    Dodge is plausible: but I'd argue that Neutral Troopers are not "attackers".

    Yeah I get that Neutral trooper is probably meant to mean they don't provoke AROs. But I don't think it's clear and I'd like it confirmed, cause seems a bit broken if not.

    It's not that they don't provoke AROs. It's that most AROs aren't valid against them so aren't provoked.

    It's much the same as walking a LI (without Comms Equipment) into a Repeater's ZOC. The LI provokes an ARO check, but only White Noise is valid so AHDs don't have a valid ARO and so don't count as having 'used' their ARO at that point.

    Dodge is valid, and therefore this can be used to abuse anything with Smoke+MSV2

    Why is Dodge valid? Neutral Troopers can't be 'attackers'.

    I dunno, you can dodge vs people who haven't attacked you yet so that can't be right.

    Sure but at least plausibly Hostiles can be attackers.

    It's not clear either way: and it's not played RAW. Given that, why not go with the interpretation that has the least issues?

    "The user must be able to draw LoF to the attacker a Hostile".

    How?

    By definition they can't:

    "Neutral. Civilians or game elements that do not belong to the Army Lists of either the player or the opponent, which are not a threat to them and are not capable of declaring Attacks."
