Does a character with the Grenades special ability (such as the Bothan Spy) ever run out of grenades?
No, there is no limit. Unless a special ability lists some limited number of uses, it can be used indefinitely. Hand of the Emperor Q: The rulebook defines “Hand of the Emperor” as follows: “In addition to spending its own Force points once per turn, a character with this special ability can spend Force points from Emperor Palpatine once per turn. Emperor Palpatine must be in your squad for this ability to work.” The way this is worded suggests to me that Mara Jade may use her own Force points to use Blaster Barrage, and then use an additional 1 Force point from Emperor Palpatine to use Blaster Barrage again, should she choose to do so. Is this correct? A: No. Mara Jade can’t use Blaster Barrage twice in the same turn. It replaces attacks, so even if she uses one of the Emperor’s Force points, she can’t use Blaster Barrage again.
