[QUOTE="drothgery, post: 4674149, member: 360"] This is how Istara figured things... +4 - Base attack bonus +3 - E-Wing Int Modifier +2 - Trained pilot firing pilot-operated weapon +2 - Aid another +2 - Attack run ---------------------------------------------------- +13 - total (note that this works just the same for Zenith as it does for Istara) There's a slight error there, but it doesn't affect the total modifier.
