[QUOTE="Agatheron, post: 6152901, member: 6694086"] I think you might be missing something here. I've only just read the rules in the free rpg day release, as well as having glanced at the Core Rulebook today. In the game, the players are largely exceptional, and they face down 3 types of opponents: minion, rival, and nemesis. Most of the blaster hits we see in Star Wars are against minion type mooks (stormtroopers), which have very few wounds relative to characters. The blaster pistols in the free rpg game do 5-7 damage automatically if they hit, which is further enhanced by successes... And i am assuming these characters are"low level". The scoundrel character in the folio rolling 6 uncontested sucesses could inflict 13 points of damage on a single shot, or cash them in for 2 critical hits. Yes, damage can be soaked, but on the whole minions aren't going to last long. Additionally, since the dice are narrative, if the first shot doesn't take down a minion, it might not mean its a direct, solid hit. Another piece I like is how the initiative works. Everybody rolls for slots, but they don't necessarily have to take the slot that they've rolled. Instead the players can choose who goes next it heir particular slot, which really adds to teamwork role playing. [/QUOTE]
