Some NOTES about Star-ships in the office FAQ that I noticed…
Unique Starship Crews (Clarification)
You determine the following vehicle stats in the following ways (in order of stat-block appearance):
• Vehicle Initiative = Your Initiative modifier (or Pilot modifier if you are trained) + Vehicle Size Modifier + Vehicle Dexterity Modifier.
• Perception = Your Perception modifier. [NOTE that I am not sure about this one, you just looking out the ships ports or what?]
• Reflex Defense = 10 + your character level (or vehicle's armor bonus) + vehicle's Dexterity modifier + vehicle's size modifier.
• Attack Rolls = Your base attack bonus + vehicle's Intelligence modifier + miscellaneous bonuses (point blank shot, weapon focus, etc.) + 2 (if trained in Pilot and firing Pilot controlled weapons from the Pilot's position). [note – that I am probably going to houserule that firing ‘vehicle-class weapons’ at non-vehicles imposes the vehicle’s size modifier or -10 in this case. Yes Capital Ships are -20 to firing again ‘people’… just as an FYI]
• Base Attack Bonus = Your base attack bonus.
• Grapple = Your base attack bonus + vehicle's size modifier + vehicle's Strength modifier.
• Skills = Your appropriate skill modifiers ( + vehicle size modifier + vehicle Dexterity modifier in the case of Initiative and Pilot checks).
If it is not listed above, than it is not changed by having a unique crew or is otherwise explicitly spelled out in the book.
So some notes then for the Star Jewel…
Size = Colossal (modifier -10)
If Jade is piloting the ship and Serrana “manning” one of the gun turrets, although she should be acting Mechanic as she is the only one with the skill…
