[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 6678444, member: 5834"] Han didn't have better reaction time than Greedo. He was ready to fire and fired killing Greedo in an ambush attack. Why do you think Lucas changed it? He didn't want Han being the one that ambushed Greedo, even though he did. It wasn't ambiguous at all. They show Han making a read on Greedo that he's going to have to kill him. He readies his blaster to do so. It was a ready action attack when Greedo goes for his pistol. If you were running this in D&D, you would have started initiative prior to anyone going for their blaster. Han would have at some point readied an action to blast Greedo if he went for his pistol. This was very easy to do in 3E/Pathfinder. How would I do this? Round 1: Have both Han and Greedo roll initiative. Then start interacting assuming both are hostile and intend to fight. Han rolls Sleight of Hand check to ready his blaster without being seen by Greedo. Greedo continues to talk confident he can outdraw Solo in a fight. Han unknown to Greedo readies his blaster pistol to blast Greedo if he goes for his blaster or shows hostile intentions. Round 2: Continue conversation with Han having ready action to blast as soon as Greedo goes for blaster. Complete sequences. It is fairly easy to handle in 5E. [/QUOTE]
