Han Solo's bonus action
In a Facebook group that I'm in someone asked why their Raid Han wasn't going first. We problem solved this to the following situation. There was no Han on the opposing team, it was an empire team. Th...

It is not a bug. His ability does not give him the first action.
It gives him a bonus turn. A turn in game is 100% TM.
If multiple toons have 100% TM, then it is decided by RNG who goes first.
WAI.
I'm aware that it's WAI but it is in no way what is described. In case Han is stunned or has his TM reduced by an opponent before taking his bonus turn then he never gets his unresistable stunning bonus turn. In that case he never takes that bonus turn. Yes, he starts off with bonus TM, which is all fine and dandy, but he doesn't act as described. However much you twist and turn the wording in some cases he never takes that bonus turn.
Yes it is WAD, he recieved 100% TM. That is a "bonus turn" according to the in game mechanics that 100% TM is how you take a turn. If he was given a bonus action, then you would be correct because he didn't take an action.
See my above post, they made all toons subject to the same game mechanics, yes he can lose his ability in that situation, but that doesn't mean he wasnt given 100% TM he didn't earn naturally.
I am fully aware thst it's working as designed — but the wording in the description has been chosen very poorly.
Sith under a Zaul lead '... gain 20% turnmeter at the start of each encounter...'.
For consistency Han Solo's skill description should have read: " ... Han Solo gains 100% turnmeter at the start of each encounter. ... ". Using the words ' ... takes a bonus turn ... ' indicates that it's something completely different than a simple turn meter gain as described for Zaul's.
Furthermore, if taking a bonus turn really simply means ' to gain 100% turnmeter' how can Han then stun and ignore taunts during that bonus turn? The TM gain / bonus turn is instantaneous. It has no duration. It is during his first action that he can stun and ignore taunts — not during the instantaneous bonus turn.
Again: It's working as designed/intended. No change needed there. However it's NOT working as described.
