Knights of the Old Republic - OCC

Okay, reviewing the rules, it definitely seems like Serrana's best spot in vehicle combat is as the pilot, particularly in a craft that has pilot-operated weapons (like the Star Jewel). Taking her away from the primary pilot spot means that she can't use Vehicular Combat to negate an attack, and any pilot checks would be at Jade's +11 rather than Serrana's +16 (or +21, really, because Serrana would activate Fool's Luck immediately). And it looks like she can still be an effective gunner with a pilot-operated gun.

It's true that she'd also be a better dedicated gunner (on the second turret) than anyone else in the party, but since she doesn't have multiple attacks and strafing ground tragets with vehicle weapons hardly seems approriate for Jedi (even if Serrana suggests it might well be effective), the drop-off to the next-best gunner (Arro) is a lot smaller.

Basically, here's how we stack up as gunners on the Star Jewel (+2 int)...
Serrana, as pilot: ATK +8 (+4 BAB +2 Star Jewel's Int +2 Trained Pilot/pilot-operated weapon)
Serrana, as secondary gunner: ATK +6 (+4 BAB +2 Star Jewel's Int)
Jade, as pilot: ATK +5 (+5 BAB +2 Star Jewel's Int +2 Trained Pilot/pilot-operated weapon -4 non-proficient)
Jade, as secondary gunner: ATK +3 (+5 BAB +2 Star Jewel's Int -4 non-proficient)
Arro/Elan/Jarec/Nicolas, in either position: ATK +4 (+6 BAB +2 Star Jewel's Int -4 non-proficient)
Talesa, in either position: ATK +3 (+5 BAB +2 Star Jewel's Int -4 non-proficient)

Arro and Serrana have some ranged combat feats.

So I'd say we normally want Serrana as pilot and Arro as a gunner in a firefight.

Just as an FYI - I'm not around on Tuesday evenings (because, well, that's when my tabletop game is). Serrana didn't actually have anything to say between the last two GM posts, but ...

That's cool... I just want to be sure where the group is splitting up at also...

Are you going to the Republic capital and the speeder leaves from there or our you dropping them off on the way, etc

Note I was reading some of the skills last night and found that you can't 'Take 20' with Use the Force... not a big deal as Jade could still have walked around looking at things for a couple of minutes

Umm, she didn't take 20 with Use the force, she took 10, actually in point of fact she didn't roll at all since she has a +16 bonus and couldn't possibly fail. All the use the force does is remove the cover and concealment penalties of the regular perception check. She took 20 on the regular perrception check.

Ah I misread that then sorry... now re-reading I see you where you were taking 20... got ya

I think I'm using search your feeling correctly, its not a really well defined skill use. Rather vague, but being this close, hopefully deciding to go after the dark sider is considered an immediate action, with somewhat immediate results.

Karl: The SBLOCKs in your last post to us aren't open-able. UBB doesn't like it when you enclose SBLOCKs inside other tags, such as font or color. Don't know why. But in any case, I can't read whatever's in there.

I edited them, let me know if you can see them now...

OOC Nitpick: I think there are three Jedi here -- Serrana, Nicholas, and Talesa.

Yes but ONLY two Jedi and a droid were talking to him, at that time

Yea it is a pretty vague write up...

Also note... when you get the 'tainted' feeling, that does not mean a Dark Sider, it is someone who has dark side points though less then their Wisdom Score. Just wanted to define that

EDIT: scratch that... you know you are all pretty young Jedi so the way Jade interpreted that was probably correct... so what Jade knows and what Shalimar knows are two different things there
