Okay, your "alternative interpratation" is what really clarified it for me. Yes, this would make Torani wildly OP and change the meta, so I could how people would want to be able to limit it. Also, after going through a few scenarios in my head, it IS more advantageous to the pilot than I originally envisioned, based on the assumption that it kicks in before the Modify Dice step. The defender would have to make that "terrible choice" regardless of how many hits Torani scored on the roll.

My hangup is STILL being able to spend or discard something you don't physically have. You've provided a couple of examples of being able to spend something to modify nothing (Keyan and the Decimator) but I'm at a loss when trying to find a pilot who can spend nothing to modify something (or in the case of someone defending against Torani with 0 Focus/Evade tokens, gain some kind of advantage). Could you kindly point me in the direction of such a pilot or give me an example of such a situation? You gave me Old Teroch as an example, but if Old Teroch comes upon a ship without Focus or Evade tokens and simply declares he's using his power, there's no advantage or disadvantage gained by EITHER ship because the end result would be defender losing Focus or Evade tokens anyway. There would be no impetus for Old Teroch to use his pilot ability. It's basically a wash rather than broken because the defender had nothing to discard in the first place. Thanks everyone for all the input so far.
