[QUOTE="perrinmiller, post: 5470578, member: 88649"] [sblock=ooc]Honestly, Fitd I think I am just explaining rules at this point. While the interpretation of Sonja's actions can be see a few different ways, can we at least assume she would not be stupid and leave perfectly good cover if she didn't need to. ;) LOS is just that, being able to see something. Near as I can tell Force Slamming something follows the same rules as a ranged attack. But from the map, I don't think the SBDs have any cover available. So yes, if she only needs to look around the corner of the wall to [B]see[/B] the group of droids, then she doesn't need to break cover to use the power. This is pretty clear in the rules. On the other side of the coin, the SBDs can also see Sonja. No argument there, but that doesn't mean she doesn't get the +5 Ref bonus from cover. That's the whole point I have been trying to get clarified. I am getting the sense you are confusing cover from the corner and total cover (and concealment) from being behind the wall itself. ;) I realize that you run a rules light game, but I am a tactical player. Without a clear tactical grid, it is harder to definitely submit clear actions and many things in SWSE are written specifically to be resolved on one. If something cannot be done based on your visualization of the situation, we are trusting you to let use know since our characters would have a clear idea what they are seeing while we the players are dealing with only a general description. As for minion usage, no idea what you are talking about really since it is a new thing for me. :blush: While I am happy to provide direction on their usage, I don't get what you are meaning on bonuses to the die rolls. If it's all the same to you, go ahead and roll the dice for them yourself. I suppose the Jedi can do his block first then, and then use clones to absorb the other three if that's the most advantageous.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
