Tinkering my ship

By kelpie, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

Can i use Tinkerer on a ship?

GMs call was the dev response I believe.

I would say no. But that's just me. I agree with the pirate above.

Much as I'd love to suggest yes, the talent says Equipment, and Vehicles don't appear in that chapter.

Also, the ability to add 2 HP to a ship is only found on one tree (Modder), and is not only bottom of a tree at 25 xp, but involves going through some talents you might not otherwise bother with. Compare that with if you could add 1 HP from a 5 xp talent on the same tree and found on many others besides.

So yeah, GM call, but sadly if I was GM I'd say no (Sadly because I had to take Tinkerer on my character to get to something else, and haven't used it yet, but our ship has maxed HP used!)

That same talent is on the Rigger tree anyway.

You got me looking, but it isn't, though there are many nice toys. (Am seriously considering getting Rigger as a second spec, a ship can only be one character's Signature Vehicle, but a Rigger/Modder gets LOTS of bonuses).

Really.

I have this feeling that we're going to see something about this in a forthcoming supplement, but until then I would likely allow it within reason, case-by-case, as a GM.

We have allowed this and there has been 0 issue.
