[SWSE] A New Fear (OOC)

[ffanxii4ever]

Here is Arkan' run-down on the events so far:

Approaching the trash planet, Arkan mouthed off to his superiors regarding whether or not he remembered the mission, and if he had even looked to see what the mission was in the first place. Immediately afterwards the ship encountered a debris storm of some sort which the blind miraluka utterly failed at attempting to pilot the ship through, and it was left to Arkan to pilot the ship through the storm. Once through, there was a heated discussion between the authorities on the planet and Nax regarding landing procedures. Once on the ground, Arkan proceeded to try and hop out of the ship before there was a bridge from the ship to the ground, and ended up injuring himself before ever getting into any combat.
Once again another argument ensued between Nax and in this case a female wookie parking attendant. After paying the docking fee, and being accosted by the local swoopbike gang, we entered a bar where we met with the leader of the Ebon Wolves. One spiked drink and a forgotten flirtation later, we were on our way to finding the splicer. A quick confrontation with the aforementioned swoopbike gang later, and a new recruit courtesy of the Ebon Wolves, and we met with a bum who warned us about some murderous construction droids. After eliminating the robotic menace, we hunted the source of their malfunctions. A quick combat and an uncomfortable conversation then occurred, ending with a false promise given to the slicer and the return to the bar, where we handed him over to the leader of the Wolves. Once we met another ally, this one bionically enhanced, we had a quick fight with some Sith apprentices that hardly stood a chance. We then agreed to act as agents for the leader of the Wolves, with the ultimate intention of removing the resident Hutt from power and finding the missing Sector Ranger.

Also, regarding SR, with this SR=temp HP rule does this mean that a SR of 5 is the same as having 5 temp hp? At an SR of 5 this might not make much of a difference, but what about when you hit something like an SR of 15? With SR as temp hp, this greatly lowers the usefulness of shields because once the SR (as temp) is gone, it is gone regardless if the damage dealt was >SR or not.
And I take it any damage dealt to SR is not going to play into exceed the Damage Threshold or not, correct? i.e. you are hit for a total of 30 damage, normally this would knock you down the track since your DT is 20, but your SR absorbed 15 damage which reduces that damage that you take 15 damage, which is less than your DT so you don't get knocked down the track.

And there are Shield Generators in the KOTOR source book, and I was curious about whether or not the SR 15 and SR 20 shields are now considered as "Heavy Armor" since they were Medium armor and you rolled medium armor into heavy armor (this now means that light armor has two shield generators, SR 5 and SR 10, but heavy has four, SR 15, 20, 25, 30)

I agree with what your saying about the condition track movement, but I don't think I understand what you mean on the usefulness of the shields declining... Just recharge them, and viola your shields are back to full. Also lets just split them down the middle, and that SR 15 is light and the rest are heavy.

Blech, I just read the shield generator rules on KOTOR, they kinda suck. Don't worry about the dex penalty and charges and all that stuff, to activate a sheild takes a power pack. If the sheild completely dies, the power pack burned out and you need to slap a new one in to reactivate it.

the world as i see it so far;

i remember battle. lots of bloody battles.
i remember being a decorated soldier, somewhere else, somewhere far away and distant.
it's all gone now. my feeling, my skills, my life. just faint memories of who i was.
im just a shadow of my former self, a shadow that refuses to die.
the only clear memories of my life i have are after the operation.
learning to walk again, learning to eat, learning that my body is just a vessel and what i thought was me is gone forever.
Learning the Sith caused me this pain.
my family, my friends, my life, all gone because of the Sith.
they tell me nobody survived the attack, except what was left of me.
they say nobody saw the attackers, but i know it was them.
so i re-learned how to walk, how to kill, how to put my new talents to use.
now i offer my services to my friend Deckard of the Ebon Wolves in hopes that i will someday come to know my assailant, and they come to know the fear of a true mandalorian reborn.

and on the sheilds thing, it takes a standard action to restore your shields, which you can do at any time. recovering HP isnt so easy.

MMMM tasty melodrama! Give yourself a destiny point, Arkan already recorded his.

Sure it is, stab yourself with a stem pack and get back to work.

What is the Mobile Assault that the Sith Knight used in the fight that nearly killed Z'ink?

 

[snakejawz]

it's like shot-on-the-run for melee attacks. (i think)

move-attack-move

 

[ffanxii4ever]

That's it?
I was asking because it was a full attack at the end of a charge which is killer
