No. Physical minis will come with serial numbers printed on the cards. Those numbers may be entered into your computer, which will register them online and unlock the corresponding virtual mini's use on the electronic table top. Damn, I hope not. Here's another fun question, though, in a...

I'm hoping there's a fair amount of Saga influence. Talent trees, in particular. The flexibility and streamlining this lends to a smaller class list will be a serious boon. Bonus feat-heavy, I hope. Feats are limited enough that they do a lot to differentiate a character, IMO. Lots of...

You, sir, get a cookie. And owe me a keyboard.

Interestingly enough, midichlorians seem to parallel mitochondria in some ways. One of the ways is that presumably, as a blood-borne foreign entity (though, for mitochondria, they're cellularly contained, not blood-borne -- net result for this comparison is the same, though, since sperm don't...

I think the wookiepedia is miswording it. I've always seen it phrased that lightsaber crystals must be "attuned" not "imbued." Attuned, with the Force -- i.e., using the Force to focus/align them on a microscopic basis, perhaps even removing impurities.

Some hazy middle-ground. I frequently stat out some 20 level builds when I'm first creating a character, to get an idea of how much I can cram in what with pre-requisites and such, or get an idea about how many levels I should limit myself to if I want to pick up this feature on a multiclass or...

Yeah. Give me the skill list consolidation; the movement rules (withdraw is awesome!); the de-emphasis on iterative attacks (you mean, I can move around in combat? OMG!), or at least elimination of the five-foot-step; the condition track; saves-as-defense; the abundance of feats and feat-like...

Or are they just rounding down, and it's 3? Everything else gets rounded down, after all. Which goes against the notion that scout troopers and the like are non-heroic 6 and CL2. I guess the more I think of it, the more likely 3 non-heroics/CL sounds. It seems appropriate that stormtroopers...

So, flipping through the CL stuff in Star Wars RPG: Saga Edition, I noticed that they don't seem to come out and define a rule for how many non-heroic levels it takes to give a non-heroic NPC 1 CL. Thumbing through the example NPCs, it looks like 6 non-heroic levels is a CL2. Four non-heroics...

There are different tables for different classes of weapons. Each class of weapon has a point blank, short, medium, and long range, with appropriate modifiers to the to-hit roll. The limits of each range increment are different for different weapons, though. Point blank range for a pistol is 20...

But Nifft, what about the suffering slippery slope? I suggest anything to do with a Gungan's presence in the encounter.

Yes. As carbines, they have a lesser maximum range than rifles. They top out at 150 squares (225 meters) vs. a rifle's 300 squares (450 meters). It should be noted, though, that they are still well longer range than pistols, which top out at 80 squares (120 meters).

Yeah, they waffled on that. It was official, and then changed back about four days later.

Obi-Wan fought an Acklay (CL 10 in Saga), Anakin a Reek (CL 8), and Padme evaded a Nexu (CL 5).

Make it a stun grenade, then shoot him and laugh.

Coming in a bit late as I didn't catch this thread the first time around, but I feel a need to contribute to the derail. My disappointment in the Serenty RPG wasn't the system, per se, nor the background material. It was the poorly conceived economic factors. As a setting that's based on a...

This still presents the original problem. Nobody's suggesting that only the gunners are reaping the experience reward and thus inflating the amount of experience to them. No, the concern is that if you calculate the encounter levels by including the starships, your level 5 party in a CR 10 ship...

As for the second part -- if the ships are so mis-matched in power, yes, that will skew things a lot and it makes sense for not a lot of experience to be earned. My initial thoughts on how to handle it would be to add pilot and ship and get a ratio -- then scale the ratio of the opponent to the...

That is, indeed, pretty rocking. Chalk another one up for looking forward to a form-filled version. I've grown *way* too spoiled with web-hosted 3eProfiler sites on my d20 stuffs. =)

It would be more accurate to suggest that the more streamlined look is a very logical descendant of the less streamlined look of the ancient comics, and that the difference in style between the prequels and the OT is very much reflective of the values of the relative societies. Prequel...
