Question about the Sense power

By JalekZem, in Star Wars: Force and Destiny RPG

Specifically, the control upgrade line thatallows you to Store a Force Die and them upgrade 1 attack that targets the character. I know how this would work in personal scale, but what about in vehicle or space combat situations?

If the power would work at all, I assume that the PC with the sense power would ned to be piloting.

It does not work when in vehicle combat. There's a talent in the Starfighter Ace tree that does that.

I don't remember, but I think the ruling was initially "Yes" but them switched over to "No" when F&D and the Starfighter Ace came out with a talent that has a very similar effect.

It still works if the vehicle is directly targeting the Force-user. Hopefully it'll be enough to keep you from getting hit with a planetary scale weapon, but I doubt it.

ok thanks

So it works if you are targeting a fighter piloted by a force user with sense?

No. You have to be shooting at the Force-user directly (Silhouette 0 or 1, instant TKO with even minimal success on the lightest of planetary scale weapons). Sense won't help him one bit if you're shooting a mount or bike out from beneath him, and it does nothing for larger vehicles he's flying either.

If the target is Pilot in any vehicle they need the Intuitive Evasion talent found in the Starfighter Ace's Specialisation tree to use the Force to protect themselves from attack.

What Happy is saying is that if an NPC in a vehicle shoots your PC (who is using the Sense Control Commit upgrade) on the ground then the NPC's attacks are upgraded. Imagine your on Jakku and in the Bazar of a small shanty town, some crazy Tie Pilot thinks your Rey or Finn and tries to shoot you as they fly overhead, if you have that Force Dice committed to Sense then their attacks on you are upgraded

I have a question in regards to committing an ongoing force dice to upgrade the next attacks challenge pool. I noted it said pool and not 1 challenge dice. My question is to do I upgrade the entire pool or just one challenge dice for the next attack against my character

An "Upgrade" is only a single Dice. If it said "Upgrade 3 times" then that would be 3 dice upgraded.

Thank you I appreciate the clarification

You're correct, in that Sense's defensive control upgrade could be used by a pilot to protect their ship, but as you said that got rolled back when the Starfighter Ace got published since it had a talent whose exact job was "commit a Force die to upgrade the difficulty to blast the ship you're piloting."
