Ambush: On its turn, this character can move and then make all of its attacks against a single enemy who has not activated this round. Many abilities that grant extra attacks, such as Triple Attack, require the character not to move, but Ambush lets it move and make extra attacks as long as all are against the same enemy.

(Jedi1972) Ambush was always confusing to me at first. I came to realize that it basically makes Double Attack like Twin Attack when moving
(Fool) Basically meaning you can move up to your regular speed (so if you had speed 8 you can move 8 squares. Then you can make all your regular attacks (Double, Triple, etc...) against an UNACTIVATED opponent.

Avoid Defeat: If a character with this special ability is defeated, it makes two saves, each needing a roll of 11 to succeed. If both saves are successful, the character is not defeated; instead, it remains in play with 10 Hit Points.

(JN) This Ability is also granted through the ability Emergency Life Support

Bodyguard: If an adjacent allied character would take damage from an attack, a Bodyguard character can take the damage instead, even if it is not a legal target for the attacker. A Bodyguard character can't use this special ability when an adjacent ally takes damage from something other than an attack, such as [url - SET SPECIFIC]Grenades[/url]. If the original target has the Shields special ability, you must decide whether a Bodyguard character will take the damage before the original target rolls for Shields. A special ability whose name includes Bodyguard (such as Emperor's Bodyguard) is treated as the Bodyguard ability for all purposes except as noted on the stat card.

Careful Shot +[#]: On its turn, if this character doesn't move any distance, it gets a +[#] bonus to Attack. Since this special ability works only on the character's turn, it doesn't help with attacks of opportunity.

(Ruhk): Since this Ability replace your entire turn, you cannot use it in conjunction with other Special Abilities would happen on your turn, like Mobile Attack, or Greater Mobile Attack. Nor can you use any abilities that replace attack. However SAs that apply to attacks (like Cunning, Momentum, Twin Attack, etc) are still applicable.

Cleave: Once per turn, if this character defeats an adjacent enemy by making an attack, it can make an immediate attack against another adjacent enemy. Cleave works even when the character is making an attack of opportunity.

Cyborg: A Cyborg character counts as living and as both a Droid and a non-Droid. This means it benefits from effects that target Droids (such as Repair) in addition to other kinds of effects (such as Heal). However, a Cyborg character is also vulnerable to harmful effects that don't normally affect Droids (such as critical hits) as well as those that specify Droids only (such as Ion Gun 20). Cyborgs can be affected by commander effects.

Damage Reduction [#]: When this character would take damage, reduce the damage dealt by the listed amount. Attacks by adjacent enemies with lightsabers, or with the Lightsaber Throw Force power, ignore this special ability. Resolve this ability only after all Bodyguard decisions have been made.
