SW saga edition problems and gotchas?

[pukunui]

Just thought I'd jump in here and point out that a number of the issues raised in this thread have been addressed by the latest round of official SWSE errata.

For instance,

Acrobatic Strike has been nerfed to +2.

The Force Powers that were errata'd to target damage threshold have now been errata'd to target Fort defense instead (I believe - Rodney talks at length on the SWSE boards about how the "targeting damage threshold" thing was a "temporary patch").

I'm confused as to how that weakens the powers.

Damage Threshold is never lower than Fort Defense, and can be a great deal higher (Improved Damage Threshold feat).

Can you elaborate?

They weren't re-errata'd to target Fort Defense, they were re-errata'd to target Fort Defense + size modifier. Targeting Damage Threshold was a temporary patch to get size to factor into things, but it made Improved Damage Threshold a great way of improving your defense vs. the Force, and had other odd side effects.

Thank you for the clarification.

Sorry. I forgot to include the "+ size modifier" bit.
