Star Wars Saga/D&D 5th Hybrid [OOC/Rolls]

[Shayuri]

Okay...definitely need to pick up a decent ranged attack, hee hee.

Quick and dirty OA attack roll...not sure why it's at disad, but I'll re-read the thread and get caught up on the specifics.

[roll0] for [roll1]
or
[roll2] for [roll3]
Whichever is lower.

Updating action momentarily.

Your damage is not lowered, just the chance to hit. So we take the worst of your two attack rolls and the first damage (so 18 to hit, which hits and 16 damage)

 

[GreenKarl]

That is your OA which does not kill the trooper but sends him Reeling. If you want to move up and Force Slam you can get two of the troopers (the others are to far away to reach). This would also be at an disadvantage (Use the Force) unless you first use a Bonus Action to 'Sense Surroundings' (Use the Force check TN15)

[MENTION=4936]Shayuri[/MENTION] The OA was at disadvantage because the troopers in question chose to Dodge and then move away, rather than Disengage. So you get your OA, but since they are dodging, it is at disadvantage.

 

[Forged Fury]

Just curious, but does anyone else feel that lightsabers seem kind of weak? I know there are balance issues in play, but... I dunno, maybe the movies made them "too good" for a game.

 

[Shayuri]

Forged, thanks for the clarification.

Lightsabers ignore material Hardness, I believe...and it's also worth saying there's ways to spike their damage that Kacela simply doesn't have.

Reks is way better with his lightsaber as I recall, and he hasn't got much in the way of damage modifiers as well.

I'd say, with the caveat that I haven't played a higher level character in Star Wars so I may be wrong in this, that it's not so much that lightsabers are weak as that Kacela is weak WITH her lightsaber.

 

[Forged Fury]

I'm probably just thinking back to D20 Star Wars, I think Jedi had a part of their class that let them add D6s to their lightsaber damage as they leveled up in the class. It looks like some of it is contained in the Jedi Knight talent trees.

 

[Shayuri]

Yeah, that's my take on it too. If you take the lightsaber combat feats and talents, you can get that damage up a bit.

It's not Kacela's focus though. Starting to question that approach now.

I don't even have the double attack thing, which is really hurting. I need to pick that up asap.

 

[Forged Fury]

To be fair, most of us don't have Double Attack since it requires multi-classing to pick up at 5th Level. I think the Gand is the only one that has it at the moment.

 

[Sezarious]

I thought they were meant to ignore bonuses to 'Armor-class' or in this case, 'reflex defense' and probably by rights 'fortitude defense', granted by armor, unless the armor was lightsaber resistant like Mandalorian armor?

That makes them easier to hit with, but initially not as strong as a blaster rifle.
