Dodge text

[DNecaise]

Sorry guys, I play HL so infrequently (but that's about to CHANGE - another story)
So I'm unsure of the rules on some of the dodges

The last defense is the text which is activated normally (Evade - lose attack or only make ranged attacks)
What about the cards which restrict you from doing X if you play the card(like below)


Sean Burns : Negotiate : Dodge :
You cannot play an attack this turn. Your Maximum Hand Size cannot be altered this turn.
Does the text kick in as a cost of playing the card? Or can you still play an attack if you don't play this as your last defense?

Watcher : Dodge (full grid): You may only play this card if you do not play a Special Card that is not a Watcher or Hunter during your turn.
can you still play a special other than  watcher or hunter if you don't play this as your last defense?

Evade : Escape HS3-036 (Generic)
Evade : Escape You may only play this defense if you do not play a Special Card during your turn. Skip your Attack Phase this turn.

Felice Martin:   Evade : Dodge : Duck : You may not play an upper attack this turn.

Thanks

I think that what ever the text is of the last defense you play is the only restriction to what you can do.
