Abilities outside unit's turn -- The Definitive List

[davidlhsl]

ABILITIES THAT OCCUR OUTSIDE A UNIT'S TURN OF ACTIVATION (Through Wave 7)
Abilities shared by too many units to conveniently list are simply identified as (various).
Abilities occurring during turn of activation and abilities/enhancements conferred to/from other units not listed.
Some terminology is my own for clarity purposes.
Phases on this list are designed to integrate with phases listed in the listing of abilities that occur during phases of a unit's turn of activation.
