Parattani is now 3 for 3 in System open wins - though that's some what to be expected as the Europese have some kind of fetish for the toilet seats, 7/8 lists in their final involved a Manaroo in some form.

>>51810835
Same here. I dumped info about Kenner's "The Epic Continues" toy line plans and Lucas' original plans for the prequels as "Sempai," (after another Anon named me), and since have gone back to shitposting anonymously as well. As namefags SHOULD operate.

That said, I like WEGfag. Our preferences align in a lot of ways.

>>51814157

Parattanni is an interesting conundrum to me. Mostly, I find in a lot of cases the nerf police are whingers. Upsilon pack is legal now where is the anal devastation of KyloRAC and KyloShuttle Palp we were promised? Swarm Leader was supposed to make x7s even more broken. Etc, etc.

But clearly the list is very good. But also, instinctively I sense Manaroo and Attanni Mindlink are functioning as intended. Much like with Manaroo complementing Dengar, I feel like synergy there is exactly as intended by the designers. But it's not like this list came out overnight - the ideal slowly moved from Dengaroo, to Manaroo Aces/Fangaroo to now Parattani (Manaroo+Asajj+Fenn).

Why did it take for this to click? What makes it such a well-rounded list? Is it that ships like the Fang and Lancer have excellent dials to avoid stress control? Is it just how Manaroo gives them free actions to reposition? Is it a PS think with Fenn shooting first? Does the list have shitty target priority? Will people eventually crack Parattanni just as they seem to have cracked x7 and Dengaroo? Will people find a superior list once they have time to get comfortable with Wave X? Do the predators of Attanni get eaten by other lists out there - if such a thing exists? I wonder these things...

Like, short of what I feel is a bit of an idiot overstep to "ban" Attanni, how do you break this combo if you decide it's too good? Is it the small ships which make Attanni? The Large ones? Is it the cost? Would X-Wing riot if a card was errataed to cost one point more - and would that set a terrible precedent to recost all the cards which are shittily costed? These things keep me awake to ponder while people whine about how castling is unsportsmanlike, or how they're fine with 2 TLTs, but clearly 4 TLTs is some giant NPE which needs to go away... Like fucking Thug Life is a plague these days.

Nah freighters are trucks, but since the E-9 is more of a passenger vehicle, i'd say its a SUV.

The 3rd Gen Mustang would be some sort of Z-95 that has lost all the feel of the original. Maybe pic related is a good estimate.

Alright, I'm just getting into EotE and I have a question about death. It seems like, given the d100 Crit Injury system, PCs take ridiculously long to die and react to blaster fire while incapacitated about as well as to multiple missiles.

Am I missing something here? Is there an errata or small, tucked-away rule I'm missing?
Alternatively, is there a more-or-less official homebrew rule for making combat more lethal? This seems like some strong shenanigans.

>>51814023
Dedicated ground support TIE?

>>51814766
They're meant to be more heroic and just generally less likely to die. If you want things to be more lethal, just focus Advantages/Triumphs on re-activating criticals on the same hit to keep adding +10 to crit rolls, or using any weapon with Vicious.

And if a character is unconscious, or even conscious, and they're hit with something especially nasty, you can just off them without bothering to roll a crit. A vehicle's concussion missile is 60 personal-scale damage that ignores up to 40 personal-scale soak, generally speaking, a person isn't walking away from a direct hit from that.

>>51814766
it's calibrated a bit heroic, for characters getting shot up to near but not quite death and letting the guy who chose medicine fixing them up, or being gunned and being taken prisoner
if you want a system for a gang of cowards taking slight hits and exploding from lolisntadeath, I'd recommend half-assing a D&D 3.5 conversion like every other bitch motherfucker

>>51813967
I want to gauge how 'snowflakey' this companion NPC is in a mentor role (two player game). The setting is TFA-era, the players live on a world that has just recently been taken over by the First Order to abduct recruits in their usual manner. The world itself is in the unknown regions, with a lot of old, abandoned temples and long-dead offshoots of the Jedi and Sith - mostly from what canon vaguely calls 'the Old Republic, thousands of years ago'.

The mentor in question is some ancient Sith lord who in seeking immortality, trapped his own spirit into his holocron and mounted it on a droid chassis. The idea is that he hated the idea of fatalism, so seeked to detach himself from the force. He is more or less a 'Sith Lich', in that he cannot die unless his holocron is destroyed.

He would give teachings to the players on ways they can learn from his foolish mistake, and try to find a better solution to the problem of surpassing the will of the Force - whether by turning blind to it, or bending it to their will. He would more or less reward and support the player characters for being selfish, whether it was a good result or bad.

Mechanics wise, he would allow the players to train certain force powers and gain Discipline and Knowledge (lore) as class skills, due to his vast memory of forgotten lore and his desire for the players to surpass their own fate. He would also be a counter to the two player's Jedi companion they picked up who is more or less a 'girl scout' when it comes to morals and following the Jedi code.

Too tall, bad eyesight, bad attitude regarding authority, petrified of /everything/, much more interested in the mechanics rather than the shooting other things bit?

>>51815603
>cont
He is also quite insane and eccentric, but due to roughly 1,000 years of isolation in a cave having made him lonely - he practically throws himself onto the players for any social stimuli. A self broken man who sees past both the light and the dark and wishes to spread this revelation to any who might listen.

He believes he has the form of an indomitable wardroid, but it seems to be the barely held together skeleton of a long since scraped protocol droid. The head was replaced by a 'dish' that holds his holocron onto the chassis.

All of his teachings are backdropped by a fairly simple black and white Resistance vs. First Order conflict on their world.

>>51815603
To be honest, I'd just let them grow up organically and they'd find their own way into wherever they're going to go.
A holocron by itself, definitely an option but the girl scout might feel intimidated by another mobile NPC entity trying to influence their actions and probably end up whacking it with a light bat until its dead.

Also with opposing force idealists, avoiding using 'Jedi & Sith' as much as possible, keep everyone's Morality confidential- that way if someone is the secret sith (or multiple people are!) its up to them to reveal their cards if they choose to do so

>To be honest, I'd just let them grow up organically and they'd find their own way into wherever they're going to go.

The idea is that this would be an optionally acquired NPC they would find in an old Sith academy on the planet. All of what I said is assuming the players are curious enough to keep him along or merely smash him on sight. I abhor railroading, so this is more of an "NPC is going to try to do this" rather than some absolute that will be pushed in any significant way.

>A holocron by itself, definitely an option but the girl scout might feel intimidated by another mobile NPC entity trying to influence their actions and probably end up whacking it with a light bat until its dead.

My thinking was that perhaps the ex-Sith Lord's teachings might get to her in some way, and that the NPC herself might be intrigued enough to not use the holocron-phylactery as a practice remote.

>Also with opposing force idealists, avoiding using 'Jedi & Sith' as much as possible, keep everyone's Morality confidential- that way if someone is the secret sith (or multiple people are!) its up to them to reveal their cards if they choose to do so

Yeah, thats why I mentioned "Jedi and Sith offshoots". I plan on having a few different orders. Currently the only orders that still have living members is Jedi Remnants who fled during the Clone Wars to open a secret academy far from the Empire - the other is a group of rogue jedi from said Remnant who burned it to the ground and began to use old Sith holocrons - convincing them they are true Sith. The side idea is that things such as the Rule of Two would be totally forgotten to these far detached 'sith'.

Maybe if that's the case you can present the 'droid' as basically a beat up, functional unit that's able to speak old languages, knows a bit about (really old) technology, historical events and places to hide on the planet- so that way they see him as a bit of a utility bot that can aid them and later on reveal its holocron later. Plus less likely to go apeshit on him!
You have a much better handle on the players/their motivations than I really can get the gist of here, so I'm just going off how I've done the morality thing in the past. Its better to let them fall on their lightswords by their own choice... though a bit of temptation to do it is part of the game.

Got any recommendations to tempt players to be more 'dark side'? The only thing I can think of is sith relics that provide powerful abilities. As for the whole 'disguises as a droid thing', I think that is relatively easy to facilitate since I would not let on that its possibly a phylactery - just a holocron on a droid body.

I would initially present him as a 'teacher' at the academy, who would guide them through the various typical Sith trials to gain their first lightsaber crystal. (the crystals are special and need to be activated at a Jedi monastery, so its a way to present both sides to the players).

As for the players, ones a bit dense and wants to play a typical hero, but the other is relatively clever and quite open minded about her character. Could provide some valuable player discussion and in character RPing.

>>51815843

I mean hell yes, that's great too, but harriers are slow motherfuckers by comparison to a Tornado screaming in at 1k and dumping missiles into a tanks anus.

That said, Harrier paveways are a very fun time.

>>51815756

Mate we should have got the F-15 instead of the F-18s. We were like, lol it's too good- we don't need that.

Also read Darwin Spitfires if you're the Biggin Hill lad. It's one of the best things I've read about the Spit and how it was used and misused.

>>51815888
I have read it actually, though it was years ago now, I remember quite enjoying it.

>>51815860
Temptation is one of those things you've got to be really careful with and as a GM you're obligated to say 'that action may incur conflict'- once, after that its the players choice as to their characters behaviour and actions.
Generally, its strikes when they're at their lowest-
>Surrounded by enemy troops
>Throwing a speeder bus full of space nuns at the enemy tank will resolve this problem

or, simply by letting them wander along with their own frustrations, predilections and as a way of dealing with duress
>theft
>assassination
>using fear
All that sort of stuff applied to neutral party (NPC's) will incur conflict and even in some cases they apply it to the "bad guys" will also incur it. As I mentioned last thread, rebels tend to become a little meaner and nastier as their cause becomes harder, while they may be doing it to see light at the end of the tunnel, the further they go down that tunnel, the darker it gets. Burning down loyalist's farms, night raids to kill sleeping soldiers, scalping people to cause fear amongst supporters, stealing supplies- all that kind of shit is quite black-white in the SW Mythos.

>>51815888
Nah, I just end up in the UK once or twice a year as my in-laws live there.
The F15 was quite old by that stage as well, very expensive to run and the new-shiny F18 was fairly cheap comparatively. We haven't been too hard done by with the 18's, but they really didn't look at the huge fucking hole that the retirement of the F111's would cause and its still a big problem to this very day.

>>51814391
:( I have an 88 mustang and I quite like it actually.

>>51815946

I think we went with the F-18 because it was versatile and like you said cheaper? Best of the Lo options, while the F-15 was a proper Hi option.

Bringing it back to Star Wars I wonder if the TIE Interceptor and TIE Defender could have been the Imperial Navy's attempt at a high-low fighter mix... against the Rebels X-wing and whatever they had coming up next (E-wing? newer X-wings)... if it weren't for Star Destroyer politics killing it before someone could come and do the thought exercise.

>>51815923

Sick, I think it came out years ago so most people read it then... but not exactly one that people come back to. It had some neato bits in it that could be dragged into an X-wing fanfic somehow.

>wearing a bowie knife as part of the uniform because it looked cool
>being asked to fly out of bare bone airstrips
>making do in flight conditions totally different to what you know in Europe and the Med.

>>51816050
Not sure if the F15 was even on the table at the time, the F16 was and it was a cheaper platform, but the 18's where cheaper to run and generally an old truck that just keeps on going. Mind you, this is going back to about 1981-82 era and we still had Mirages falling out of the sky and squadrons of F111 bombers so we where getting kind of desperate!
It wasn't a bad choice at the time and has managed to endure, well shit it'll have too as the F35 is taking forever.

TIE interceptors definitely have their place in the Imperial navy, they're designed to go reach-out at as fast as possible to interdict enemy bombers and fighters before they get to your capital ships and escorts. If they where technically ever used in that role, dunno, but that's the job rather than mix-it up with fighters full time- as the definition of an interceptor by contemporary standards.
Defenders are a real couple of steps up above the Interceptor, as a superiority fighter and a real all-round package that I guess evolved over the failures of the TIE/In to deal with more advanced enemy fighters. That price though, shit even the rolling in coke, cash and hookers budget the Imp Navy has, would make anyone baulk and when you've got to outfit a galaxy's worth of of them in even limited amounts.
>Squadron of 6? Sure!
>Or you can have 12 Interceptors
>Or you can have 36 TIE/In's!

heh!
The /In and Interceptor have their place because its practical to have a lot of them and enough of them is sometimes the solution

Alright, /swg/. My EotE droid-tech has been made angry by the antagonist and now things need to die with extreme prejudice. Help me build and equip the deadliest, most efficient assassin droid in the galaxy using the droid crafting rules from page 80 of the technician splat book - Special Modifications.

You will have:
-Unlimited funds
-Access to armories from all FFG Star Wars rpgs. EotE, AoR and FaD.
-Access to all crafting templates from above mentioned rpgs.

Now I'm thinking of starting with the Advanced Combat Chassis with elimination directives, Crafted Augmented armor from FaDs Keeping the Peace and HOB Heavy repeating Blaster from Dangerous Covenants. However I'm not sure if this is the best way to go about it. I also haven't thought about possible cybernetics or attachments for weapons and armor. For crafting I can allocate any advantages and triumphs myself, but I would not mind having some input.

TL;DR: My pc is assblasted and is building a assassin droid to exact petty revenge. I'd like your help with designing the droid. Any ideas you have would be much appreciated.

The Dark Side is the easy path.

The "typical hero" could be tempted by choices where he has two options: personal sacrifice and inconvenience, or touching the Dark Side and getting the "heroic" moment he wants.

For example, they've captured the leader of a [dangerous organization]. He's unarmed, but unrepentant. The PCs know that if they let him live, wherever they keep him will be in danger from [dangerous organization]. Can the hero justify killing him in cold blood?

Really though, the temptation side of things is a deal you're making with your players. "Choose the Dark Side, and your story will be interesting." You aren't penalizing. You're just letting the left hand take the melody for a bit. Maybe not forever - redemption stories are fun - but for some time. And you need the players to /buy in/ to that.

Dark Side points aren't like insanity points in Call of Cthulhu. They're not a timer imposed by the GM on a character's lifespan. They're just another aspect.

This is a good way to hook the "clever and open minded" player. Get them on board with the narrative aspects of it, and slowly tempt them away from the path. Then, ages later, when they look up and see what they've done, and what they've justified, they can begin a really interesting arc back to the light.

If you are talking FFG; the dice pool you roll will be determined by your characteristic for the check, and the skill being used. You take the highest of these two numbers, which determines the size of the pool, and then upgrade dice equal to the lower value.

As an example, let's say you are shooting someone with a blaster pistol. This would be using the Ranged: Light skill, which runs off of the Agility characteristic.

If you had 3 Agility, and 2 ranks in Ranged Light, you would start with three green dice, and then upgrade two of those dice to yellow ones, rolling a total of two yellow and one green dice.

>>51818846
Unrelated, but I see you post stuff here frequently.

How do you deal with the mold lines on Stormtroopers/other small models? There are so god-damned many on them. Stuff like wookies have fur to lessen their visibility, but on something with smooth armor, it's a pain.

>>51814318
Mustafar winner here.

Parattani is unique amongst dominant lists in the game's life in that it doesn't feel abusive to play with or against. It's what an X-Wing list should be. It's a mod of different pilots and ships, different pilot skills, lots of flexibility, minimal upgrades, no wombo combo bullshit. It's just a list that rewards you for playing X-Wing well. There's no counter to it and it doesn't counter other lists.

If you gave Dengaroo/u-boats/x7/OG whisper/fat Han to a scrub they would immediately win more or most of their games despite being trash. With Parattani they would win more, but not as much. It doesn't raise the skill floor by so much that any idiot can win with it.

Now, all that said, there are elements that I feel are too good and could be nerfed without killing the build or other similar lists. Global effects need to go. Palp, roo, Sabine, and mindlink should all go to range 1-3. This leashes the support ship a bit and at least puts it at reasonable risk. This is more pie in the sky, but errata-ing mindlink to have a limit of 2 (2 dots as opposed to 1 for uniques) or have it only be bought in pairs would be good. Doesn't hurt the more fun 4 ship links, feels a bit more thematically appropriate.

Personally I really enjoy the list and I'm having a blast watching people do well with it. I'm kinda hoping it wins all the systems just for the shitstorm.

>I'm kinda hoping it wins all the systems just for the shitstorm.

Truly Chumbalaya, you are one of us. The match between Dallas and the mexican champ was supposedly pretty close - the dice were on the latter's side.

I'm a little hesitant to slash the global effects, as they are good and it seems like people don't fly a lot of support with range restrictions as is - I'd want to see how people do with some of the new support options in Wave X first I guess. Will people run stuff like Major Stridan and Ahsoka?

>>51821664
Ok think I kind of get it, thanks

>>51821429
For FFG, WEG or d20/SAGA?

d20/SAGA: Roll a d20 and add your skill and your stat bonus (+1 for every 2 that stat is over 10.) eg: I have charisma 12 and diplomacy 4. My bonus is +5.

FFG: You have green dice equal to the higher of your skill or stat - turn a number of the green dice into yellow dice equal to the number of the lower of your skill or stat. eg: I have Presence 3 and Negotiation 2 - I roll 1 green dice and 2 yellow dice.

WEG: You add the dice ratings of your stat and skill together. 3 'pips' (the static modifier after the number of dice you roll) equals an extra die. eg: you have Charisma 2d+1 and Diplomacy 1d+2. You roll 4d, not 3d+3.

>>51821809
/swg/ is my home away from home. Reddit and forums are just for getting normies to listen to the show.

I think the problem with support effects is cost usually. Stridan is baller but his platform is so pricey. Ahsoka I like a lot as she can be built cheap. I'm mostly in favor of killing globals because it puts more of the onus on the player to keep his shit in range. It's frustrating to have the palp caddy or roo jacking off in the corner while still affecting the game.

>>51821812

You are welcome!

To answer the second part of your question; yellow dice are better than green dice, as they can provide stronger positive results (including Triumph results, which can have strong narrative effects).

This relationship is mirrored in the difficulty dice. The red dice has the potential to have much stronger negative effects than the purple dice, but in most circumstances you will be rolling against a pool of purple dice.

There are also blue dice, which are generally added to a dice pool for good things (such as aiming, having the right tools, etc), and black dice, which are added for bad things (trying to rush something, finding something in the dark, etc).

>>51821947
So how would I know when to use yellow dice?

Or the Glove of Vader.

>>51821960

First, you find out which skill you are testing against. For example, Ranged Light.

Next, you look at the stat which powers that skill. In this case, Agility.

You look at the skill and the stat. Which ever one is bigger, you will be rolling that many dice in total. The lower of the two will be the number of yellow dice you will use, the rest will be green.

In the previous example, with Agility 3 and Ranged Light 2, you would take two yellow dice and one green dice.

Note that it doesn't matter if the skill value is higher than the stat; if you had, say, Piloting (Space) at 4 and Agility 3, you would roll three yellow dice and one green.

Hot Shot, Gunner, Vader is awfully rude to Fenn Rau. Swapping gramps for Kylo could definitely hurt Roo and Asajj. Take a wingman to kill high agility like Quickdraw and you're golden. Be sure to get Asajj down ASAP unless he hands you Fenn on a platter (range 2 in arc)

>>51822296
Sorry, it's during the compare results step for Trioculus.

>>51822296
What type of Quickdraw would work there? FCS and Frame are a given, Expertise and a 1- point bid? Bump RAC up to 10?

I want to use Quickdraw, but I keep wanting more survivability from a near- 40 point ship.

>>51822407
>but I keep wanting more survivability from a near- 40 point ship.
What you are saying then is you want to fly x7 Defenders.

>>51822407
I run crack shot, FCS, and homing missiles. Frame and primed if points allow. You won't live long, but you're taking something with you.

>>51821688
>Parattani is unique amongst dominant lists in the game's life in that it doesn't feel abusive to play with or against. It's what an X-Wing list should be.
100% agreed here. Something like KyloRAC, x7 Defenders, Old U-boats just feel dirty to fly and are the definition of a BPE to fly against.

>>51822492
More so I've gotten used to associating a PS 8+ ship that costs 34-41 for Empire an ace who can double-reposition. Just having Barrel roll on something that isn't a sub-20 point ship makes me less comfortable.

Any advice on flying Quickdraw? I'll be checking out your podcast later today btw.

>>51822544
Go slow, abuse that 1 forward, go for 1v1s, be fearless. Fly it like you'd fly dengar, but on a small base. QD thrives in a 1v1, but hates getting ganged up on. That's why I like primed so I can do crazy shit like fly through debris or sloop around to keep rolling.

No, but it is another cargo card which doesn't take energy...

I think the issue is that we're holding back Jabba for his own article because he'll affect normal 100/6 play. And then some other upgrades are obviously for the Scyk. So they mostly blew their load in the announcement - it's like they expect people who care not to have already thought about what Vizago and Azmorigan can do.

>>51823225
Please, someone build a speaker that just eternally blasts the cantina music into a C-ROC model

What I found interesting was that they straight up confirmed that Zuckuss-crew will be legal on huge. I half-expected them to put up some errata on that.

But yeah, wake me up when they preview the new scyk-stuff, new cannon and/or Jabba-crew.

>>51823309

Zuck isn't as useful on the C-ROC. You're PS 1 on an epic and have 1 hard point, which may or may not be the turret and have no primary weapon. So Zuckuss will get activated once at the very end of the combat round - and he sucks up a crew slot to do it. It's pretty good considering epic ships don't get a lot of dice mods, but it's not as extreme as say, using him with Dengar who can double tap and usually has PWT 3 at PS9

Vader and Son? Depends on what point in the timeline, if he even knew he existed. Just Vader? Attempts to bind everyone into his control, which would probably lead to a somewhat lesser breakup than that which followed in the GOOD expanded universe. Isard would probably still be a threat, but not in control, various warlords and independent worlds are too chicken to try for it since the direct successor to the Empire is still there, or would at least bind together into fewer but larger groups.

"Hutt Kisses" is basically french kissing, but for the orifice of your choice.

"Twi'lek Rodeo" is where you're doing a twi'lek friend from behind, but then you grab her head-tubes and stick your appendage of choice into her tertiary cloaca, and see how long you can hang on.

>>51828182
"Human compatible" is pretty damn broad. You really just need a manipulator and an erogenous zone. A pocket is also handy.

Visiting an scum-space brothel, instantly fading to black, and dropping a phrase like "tertiary cloaca" is an excellent way to remind your players that this is an alien setting. No need to get graphic about it.

>>51828132
Yeah, but do you know about the fine fibrous tendrils on the end, or the peristaltic action, or the glow-in-the-dark residue, or the acidic reflux?

It's also that people just don't care in the setting.

It's like cannibalism in Star Wars. People are too busy to worry if the last words of the meat they're eating were "Moo?" or "No, please, I swear I've got the money."

Remember to do proper Dark Souls design. Pick a movement archetype (human, crawling, flying, leaping, prowling, burrowing, etc.), one or two attack archetypes, and some nice terrain features, and potentially multiple victory conditions. Make the boss "learnable".

I really don't have any good answers for mold lines. Just do the best you can with an x-acto knife. A lot of times I miss mold lines until something is primed, and when that's the case, I just paint anyway (pic related).

Even with mold lines, or unfilled gaps, or really basic, amateur paint jobs, the figures look much better painted than unpainted.

>>51831002
It's always a wonderful day in a bureaucrat's life when an angry space wizard shows up. All those carefully laid plans about taxation and trade routes get thrown out the window when the Inquisitor /demands/ you dispatch six of your Star Destroyers to hunt down one rebel, or when he commandeers a legion of your finest troops to reactivate an ancient superweapon on the Acid Moon of Squalch.

Luckily, the Empire has a separate (secret) pay system for officers dealing with an Inquisitor. It also comes with very generous payments to your family, should you perish serving the Empire.

>>51831012
Usually defeat is through the means of being literally unwinnable than through a straight contest of arms. Also, FFG's ruling of characters going unconscious after exceeding their wound threshold seems pretty counter-intuitive to that purpose, it's hard to be heroic when you're asleep.

The PCs are knocked unconcious, and awaken in an Imperial prison, and have to escape; super common trope all throughout Star Wars media.

Or the space pirates leave your characters for dead, stripping their ship of everything valuable, and they awaken drifting dead in space, having to scrabble to get systems operating before their now empty ship careens into an asteroid field.

There's plenty you can do with PCs being knocked out. Dying is the lamest option unless it's dramatically appropriate.

From what I heard, it was a young Han Solo smuggler game 4/5ths completed, that would have played out like the Uncharted series.

But Lucasfilm but the squash on it including Han, 'cause of the imminent young Han movie, so the game had to be ripped apart and redone as a generic Non-Solo.

They'll get it done, eventually.

On the other hand, it kinda feels like you go from zero to unconscious in seconds. Combat has felt pretty rocket-tag-y in the campaign I'm in, with people generally going down for the scene in a matter of two shots.

>>51831777
In my campaign I've got some high level (just under 300xp) characters who are almost entirely combat focused, the tank of the party has 13 effective soak against blasters as well as 5 defence all round so blaster sponge is very appropriate.

A pc wants to take advantage of the force sensitive specialization found towards the back of the book. He wants to make force sensitivity a part of his backstory, which I thought was interesting, and gave him the go ahead and treated it like the book treats adding any specialty.

My question ends up being this: Is a pc starting the game with some force sensitivity uncommon? I want to make sure I'm handling the force with a certain gravitas that fits within the universe.

It's not really any kind of problem. And spending starting character XP in a spec instead of characteristics actually hurts a bunch.

Honestly, if he really wants to start with force sensitivity, even starting with one of the least esoteric Force and Destiny classes would be reasonable.

Thanks for the response.

So far two of my pcs have taken on extra obligations to get some more starting xp. Which seems reasonable to me and honestly will make it more exciting to put those into play. But I'm worried all the pcs will end up doing this. I suppose it's not that big of a problem.

And in regards to your second point, for simplicity, I'm trying to keep everything in this first campaign centered around EotE. Definitely something to consider though.

That isn't even correct in Episode 4...

Vader, Leia, Obi-Wan, Tarkin, R2, 3P0, Luke (though a bit whiny) all had very distinct personality.

It's more common than a character developing force sensitivity during play.

I've run multiple campaigns for multiple different groups and I've never encountered a player who doesn't take on extra obligation.

What is more uncommon is having an entire group of PCs and no one deciding they want to be the special force user.

Me and my gaming buddies started playing pic related, and we find it to be too hard for us
jaja, we suck, whatever. fuck you.
can any of you suggest some good way to make it easier? we are already going to rescale it for one less player than party size, are there any other reasonable ways to shave off the difficulty without making it too easy?
