[FULL] Star Wars D20 Revised Episode III - Episode IV

[Ambrus]

I'm sorry, guys, shadowbloodmoon, but I'm dropping out of the game. You're all doing a great job playing, but I really can't keep up with you in regards to both quality and quantity. My ignorance of the rules is a greater hindrance than I thought it would be to my ability to play and enjoy the game. Sorry for wasting your time Ambrus and sbm.

I'm sorry to hear that Nephtys, I was looking forward to playing with you after having corresponded with you so much. Certainly do what you think will make you happiest. Drop by the thread to comment from time to time if you feel like it. And thanks for letting us know of your decision instead of just ceasing to respond. Good luck.

I just think they're great cutting tools. Tac would never fight with it, but they're just so damn USEFUL! Blast door in the way? No problem! Bulkhead to get through? Easy! Someone in binder cuffs? Piece of cake! Need to flash weld something? Sure!

If you're interested in cutting through bulkheads and welding stuff, then get a tool kit. It comes with both a fusion cutter and a welder and a bunch of other stuff. I can only imagine that they're just as effective and more efficient overall than a lightsaber. That is after all what they're designed for. They're cheaper too.

Be wary of playing something that isn't even worth a darkside point to crush like a tin can with the force.

I'd actually be curious to hear what shadowbloodmoon has to say on the subject of droids and the dark side. It sounds like he's got a fairly hard-line opinion of what types of actions will earn dark side points; needlessly damaging sentient droids might qualify. There's also the matter of the drain energy skill. It's an ability that, by the RAW, can instantly deactivate any droid of any level without a saving throw. I know some GMs who allow saving throws against the skill; I just don't know if Shadow is one of them.

Drain Energy is a BFD. At least it doesn't hurt you, but it's still nasty.

Your Fusion cutter does 2d4. A 'saber does 2d8, more if you're a Jedi. Saber is better, hands down. Does the fusion cutter ignore hardness?

I'd love to know what would result in a DSP. I've played with lenient GM's, and I just don't know what to expect from SBM.

Check out posts 52, 58, 114 and especially 117; Shadow describes his interpretation of the Dark Side a bit.

 

[Kemrain]

Thanks. He doesn't seem crazy strict, though I didn't note any references to evil actions that don't use the Force. I'd expect to take a DSP for blasting Dophina in the head while she's climbing out of the hole, unless I setthe blaster to stun, of course. Then again, I'd be pretty shocked if I got one for lying or deception. Betraying Dophina to the clones, maybe. Probably not, if I made sure she wasn't harmed in the process, but who knows. I'd love to.

Well it seems that we're back down to four players, I'm okay with that, it seems like a good number to me. The fewer players, the less time we have to wait between posts. Since Bobitron hasn't yet responded to Shadow's last IC post (in which his character is introduced to Nephty's) I wonder if Shadow is going to retro-game a bit and edit his posts so that Bobitron's character starts off somewhere a little closer to ours. Hmm...

If anything should inadvertantly happen to mistress Dofina, well... DRK-1X isn't programmed for revenge. If she remains alive though, I'll feel compelled to try and keep rescuing her. :\

 

[Kemrain]

Not a bad plan, to be honest. I just hope we all end up on the same ship together, in one piece, in a condition in which we can communicate with one another in a friendly manner.

Who am I kidding? I'm gonna get blasted by the little droid for threatening its master when the clones come by, and the cerean is gonna get sliced to ribbons by the sith after the clones blow the probe droid to shrapnel.

- Kemrain the Pessimist.

I hope we get going good soon. I hope we don't have to put up with dophina much longer. She was supposed to pay Tac's way back to Coruscant, but now it seems that won't be happening. Her accounts have probably been siezed and put on hold, at best, and I have no way to get there myself. Curse these non-piloting hands!

- Kemrain the wondering How it'll Go.

Edit: Ambrus, you edit too fast. Heheh.

If anything should inadvertantly happen to mistress Dofina, well... DRK-1X isn't programmed for revenge. If she remains alive though, I'll feel compelled to try and keep rescuing her. :\

Even if she's in Republic custody? Even if 'Felia' explains to 1X that since Dophina is unable to pay for the return trip, and expenses, and the trauma caused by luering Felia into a warzone, legally she should be compensated, and that since 1X was the lightest most portable source of credits available, it should belong to her now? (Heehehehe...) Even if rescuing Dophina set it's self-preservation circuits alight? Even if...

Dammit, I wanna own 1X now! Heheh..

Yeah, I was about to post but decided to hold off in case SBM wanted to do a bit of editing.

 

[Kemrain]

Good plan. Now we can get this set up and all head to the same place, and maybe even all get on the same ship out of here!

It seems to me that Dophina is the weakest link here. We have Tac Darkej, a neutral, DRK-1X, a Seperatist with little loyalty to their cause, Ka-Femi Odo the Jedi who'll be hunted, and Tal Remar a republic soldier who might very well be sympathetic to the Jedi. Dophina is a seperatist, or at least funds them, and will be the foe of 2 of the PC's, the annoyance of another, and the master of the fourth. She might have to go. Great tention, eh?
