He doesn't, but the playtest rules are really lacking and cybernetics is about the only way to represent the Adamantium Skeleton he has... though considering how 'broad' these rules want to be they're also massively specific in ways.

Sadly, they don't matter. With WotC coming away with basically all the awards it shows that sheer voting numbers are what counted. Most of the other nominees were so small that their vote numbers must have been tiny. For Modiphius, who have excellent production values and games, to come away...

1) basically nothing positive to say, here are our notes: Melee combat- completely lacklustre it MUST have full rules, including shooting into combat. Lots of skills and weapons for it, but nothing actually fun about it. e.g. boarding on space combat? Melee combat 2- If I have STR 4 and...

Just checking.

Where in the book does it mention trading attack dice for damage? I can't see that in the combat section.

I notice on N.E.W. you mention minor changes- what sort of changes?

I like the idea of increasing a mental stat- a random one would be better or else you end up with characters doing the 'face' situation above. They could even be linked, e.g.: STR loss= WIL gain: your rehabilitation took the drive to overcome AGI loss= INT gain: you had to learn to get around...

You know I've created quite a few, but not sure I could upload them as they are Mantic Copyright technically.

Having spoken with another of my players, I'm not sure that will actually work. He's going to log on to explain that at some point, but suffice it to say, he's found a serious flaw in combat. If the exploding mechanic is to be re-added, perhaps it should only work for your Luck Dice- that way...

I like the idea of different coloured dice. But yeah, I see what Lucas is saying about damage dice- with most weapons doing 1-2 dice damage, they will barely ever manage to beat that soak- and what about an Ogron in a Battlesuit- 15 soak!

Really? It's a fantastic way to spend Despair... and makes it so narrative.

Pinned down isn't an issue- as there is nothing stopping you leaving a combat (and chances are if you are the one being shot you probably want to move away). But cover doesn't quite cut it. With combat being so dynamic there needs to be a chance of hitting anyone. Edge of the Empire works in a...

Surely it would make sense for the phaser stun to be the same as the three other weapons that stun? I did wonder if you were going to do Ammo like that: I think it would work. If the blaster is supposed to be better, then it should either be at a higher tech-level or cost more, otherwise the...

So....?

I actually wonder whether just giving you 1 dice per point of Luck stat, rather than converting it into a dice pool would be better.
