Glossary Text[]
If Grand Admiral Thrawn is an adjacent allied character and he would take damage from an attack, this character can take the damage instead, even if it is not a legal target for the attacker. This character can't use this special ability when Grand Admiral Thrawn takes damage from something other than an attack, such as Grenades.
