[QUOTE="Malhost Zormaeril, post: 5995065, member: 49669"] Hello, folks; I have a copy of Wizards' SWSE Core Rulebook, and I was thinking of using it to initiate my nephews to the hobby. To that end, I was writing up a couple of prepared characters, since we all know that modern character creation overwhelms a neophyte pretty quickly... One of the characters I was writing is a droid soldier (4th Degree, obviously). I decided to give it class skills Endurance, Initiative and Perception; Endurace controls Running, which an infantry droid might need. Then I look into the description of the Run action within the Endurance skill (page 66): Well, that's just peachy, I thought to myself. So, I know how to calculate its Endurance value, Fortitude Defense, and can determine which feats and talents it can or cannot take, but I cannot tell how many rounds it may run before it needs to pass Endurance checks. I could validly read that it needs an Endurance check on the very first round it tries to execute the Run action, or I could read that it can execute Run actions indefinitely like the Energizer bunny. I can't be the first person to notice this, not this many years later; so I ask you, my friends with SWSE experience, is there some erratum or clarification somewhere which spells this out? How many rounds can a droid run, after all? [/QUOTE]
