[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 8357292, member: 6779310"] Alternate approach to the ESB reveal under Burning Wheel The earlier in the campaign interaction, Luke was convinced by Ben specifically that Vader: Luke has a belief to match. Luke's player says, "I'm losing to bad; I'm looking for a way out." GM replies: "Vader's trying to corner you, not taking the lethal strikes he could have." Luke offers a search roll; Vader uses Telekinesis on doors. A tie. "Ok, Vader cornered you, but there is a way out. It may be suicidal to take it, but it will avoid capture. You're cornered on the bridge to some equipment hanging over a void. Luke's player offers, "One last effort... I want to hurt him, so I can toss him over." GM responds, "Bloody Versus? Sure... Vader wants to disarm you." Dice roll, massive blowout. Wound is pretty severe, too. "Disarm via hand amputation?" "uh... I can't afford another Mortal... if it drops a level, I'll take it." "Your hand, lightsaber still in its grasp, flys down and away. Vader then starts a social conflict. Duel of Wits, or a versus?" "Versus, please." "Vader says, 'There is no escape. Don't make me destroy you. Join me and I will complete your training.' Uh, Intimidate. Plus 2d for Deep Secrets at 8d" GM pulls out 5d for Vader's intimidate, pointing.
