Antra, that would be the "update package" spoken of earlier in the thread.

Two DR ratings per one armor?
I'd rather go with one armor bonus rating and one DR rating.
If you want, do not have armor bonus replace Class Defense bonus. Just use the better of two bonuses (this assume you are against stacking), with Dex modifier (up to the armor's Dex bonus cap) to upgrade your AC ... err, Defense value. Plus whatever modifier to enhance your Defense value. (dodge bonuses, deflection bonus, etc.)
Either Class Defense Bonus (IMHO, I don't like this term ... should be called Base Defense Bonus) or armor bonus, the DR still applies against any non-critical damage toward his WP.

Reginald, I have to ask, and sorry for the slight hijack of the thread. Do you know if Jellies Books and Music in the Pearl Kai shopping center across from Pearlridge is still there? I used to find great deals on used D&D material.
Back to the SW. Jack, I like to keep the numbers to a minimum. So my preference would be to try to avoid the extra numbers.
That said, even though there will be an update pacakge, I just might buy the new rule book. A system with Defense, DR Armor and AoOs, that I like.

To be honest, I have not been to any Jelly's stores for quite a long while. I was planning on going to see for myself if they still reside at Pearl Kai Center this weekend, but the plan fell through (something else takes precedence).

revision is good in this case
I for one am actually looking forward to the revision.
The Armor as DR vs Wounds only seems a workable change, and depending on how low they go, will still allo the heroes to take down those battle droids/stormtroopers/whatever quickly, while giving themselves a bit better survival chance.
AoOs should work out well too since no longer will you (according to the rules) ~not~ be able to shoot someone if you're standing next to them. I imagine now, it'll be a -4 penalty and provoking a AoO but possible.
I look forward to the class revisions and such too. So, even though I could just get the update, I imagine I'll get the new book.

I'm most curious to see how they handle Force Powers in conjunction with AoO's... I've been trying to work AoOs into my games. Seems that Force powers should trigger AoOs and require "concentration" checks ala D&D Spellcasting, but I've yet figured out a good way to determine the DC of the check.
I'll probably end up buying the revised book, and hand-me-down my old book to my little brother.

Interesting. Of course they didn't take the leap and kill classes and levels, but maybe it will be improved some. I'll have to check it out.
On the Ewoks killing stormtroopers note - I didn't find that all too unbelievable, because there was a huge hoard of Ewoks, and enough arrows will find the chinks in any suit of armor. A stretch, yes, but a good heroic scene (with Warwick Davis, premiere dwarf actor!).
And about those Dark Troopers, what exactly were they? They looked like robots to me, but they were supposed to be "a new type of stormtrooper," and stormtroopers certainly weren't robots. Eh?

Dark Troopers...
It depends... Sometimes they're robots, sometimes they're souped up Stormtroopers in bad-ass powered armor.
Either way, they step on kittens and steal candy from little kids.
