I had wondered about this as well.

I just want to clarify something about scathing tirade: Each success = 1 more target (so 3 successes, 3 targets getting 1 strain each). Each advantage is 1 more strain, but is it 1 more strain to 1 target, or 1 more strain to all targets?

Using the above example, would success 3 advantage 3 be 2 strain to 3 targets, or 4 strain to 3 targets?

Also, can you convert successes into advantage if you have more successes than targets?

Per the example: Success 3 + Advantage 3 = 2 strain to 3 targets

You could also do 4 strain to 1 target and 1 strain to 2 targets.

There is no provision in the rules to convert excess success into advantages. This is why my character is Force Sensitive. An Influence Control upgrade allows you a force power check with white pips spent as Successes or Advantages. Gives a bit more control.

Thanks Jamwes

Scything Tirade isn't a combat check, so it's not affected.

You'd have to have a very sharp tongue to do "Scything Tirade"

Good catch. I don't know why I keep doing that? Maybe because the "y" looks so much cooler in the middle of the word instead of the "a". Yeah. That's it. Totally.
