While you can make battledroids more effective by giving upping their base attack, it still doesn't answer the core problem. That is: A high level Jedi will never get the opportunity to deflect a shot back on an attacker who can't beat his defense by 5 or less. That's why the rule is broken as written. While a 2nd Soldier trying to tussle with a 16th Jedi is unfair, what would serve as an object lesson (hitting the soldier with his own blaster bolts) becomes impossible with the rules. Upping that soldier's base attack for the purpose of hitting the Jedi isn't the answer. I'm sure you thought of that, too, so I'll just move along. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Star Wars has a max level limit of 20, which I like a great deal. It's an end cap, a limit on where the insanity can end. I dig it. Still, allowing an exception for Yoda isn't a bad idea, as long as the caveat is that it's for Yoda alone. He would be as devastating as seen in the movie, true. I'll think about it more. That's beside the point, of course. The fact that I have to make up a  house rule on the spot is irritating, frustrating that I spent money on a book that I have to cover the holes in. I spent money so I didn't have to make my own rules. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Are you happy that so much needs to be arbitrary? I'm not, I can't be. What happens when I lurch into someone else's game. Do I bring along a questionairre asking about how they fixed certain things? What about a new player, fresh from buying the RCR and thinking it's fantastic, only to get sucked into my game and finding that the rules don't portray the movies at all. What the designers have made is a game that adheres to its own mechanics. That's all. While I decry the fact that the rules don't portray the movies well, Psion gives excuses on how the rules work. They work if they're not trying to portray Star Wars. That I can't do things in the movies without listless edicts from on-high is why I cannot ever support the Revised Rules. If you're happy with sheets of cobbled rules and assembled judgements, I'm not. I'm after rules that are there when I need them, invisible when I don't. I'm after theme and story, drama and epic, everything that isn't the Revised Rules. I'm happy you like the Revised Rules. I wish you would see them with a bit clearer vision, but that's the issue here. Do I support the Revised Rules over the Original Rules? No. A million times no. They're sloppy and broken, flailing and failed. Naturally, there's the tendency online to think that because I don't agree with your opinion, that I don't like your opinion, that I don't like you. Of course that's not true. I have no problems with your mentality. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Just how you use it.</blockquote>
