Message: <blockquote data-quote="aramis erak" data-source="post: 9153239" data-attributes="member: 6779310">They changed constantly across the revision history of WEG SW...Keeping in mind this means...<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">1E: Reaction only, Adds to range-based TN. (SWRPG 1E p 13)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">1E + "Rules Upgrade" pamphlet: Full Round Dodge (no other actions except mandatory moving) adds to range based TN. Reaction dodge replaces range based TN. (SWRPG RU p 2)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">1E + Rules Companion (SWRC p14): Full round dodge adds, but doesn't require moving; it also is rolled in Action 0 phase. If moving as well, call it evading and roll it at +1D. Reaction is for that action phase only, and the TN of the attacker is the higher of the range or the dodge roll.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">2E: Full Dodge (vs Ranged) or Full parry (vs melee/unarmed) only allow a single movement action, no bonus for moving while doing so., add to TN. It's explicit you can't use both, nor any reactions. Reaction dodge still better of range or roll. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">2E Revised (p 90): Full round dodge/Parry/Brawling Parry works same as 2E. Reaction dodge goes back to replacing the Attacker's TN for rage, and can, once again, have you step into it...</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">D6 Space (p. 72-73) (This was suppsoedly going to be the 3rd edition, a friend had a copy of playtest material including this change): Full dodge is roll+10. Partial dodge is Full Roll, reduced for multi-action. Optionally, passive defense is +1 Opponent TN  per 2d in Agility or Dodge when not actively defending.</li> </ul>Some other changes across the variations<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">1E, 1E+RU: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">2 explicit scales: Characters/vehicles/Critters, and starfighters to smaller frigates. An implied 3rd scale is Capital ships. Scaling effects: personal attacking ship, damage reduced to 1D (2d if personal scale > 6d), but target's hull is doubled. Sip shooting person, Weapon damage doubled, but to hit penalized. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Experience can only be used to buy skill upgrades and force skill upgrades.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Movement is 10m per movement action, and no skill used, only Dex.</li> </ul></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">1E+ RC: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">6 scales (Character/Creature, Speeder, Walker, Starfighter, Capital Ship, Death Star). Whichever side is at disadvantage due to scale has a cap on their dice. dice over the cap number are read as zero.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Characters must now specify which force powers they know, and have a limit.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Capital Ships have a custom damage process.</li> </ul></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">2E: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">same scales as RC, very close on the tables, but capped dice counted as the cap, not zero. One on many and many on one tables also added.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Wild Die introduced.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Movement switched from fixed amount per action to racial meters per action, which can be raised.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Attributes can be raised, too. Also, character points can be spent to boost rolls if you're desperate - trading learning for survival?</li> </ul></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">2E Rev : <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">infinite number of scales, tho' it labels the 6 from prior with specific dice adjustments. Capping gone; instead, advantaged gets difference of number of dice for the scale added to their skill, damage, Strength, or  Hull roll.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Keeps the EP/CP changes.</li> </ul></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">d6 Space: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">keeps 2ERev scaling and 2E movement</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Adds Advantages and Disadvantages.</li> </ul></li> </ul>Playing as new editions came out meant players having to relearn the action economies, Defense skills, and odds of cross-scale actions...</blockquote>
