I'm not reading anyone else competing with you. Doors are open to reach the control room I'm at, but I've made no moves toward the lower levels.

So can I use my Short Cut talent, since my character is racing to beat the other PCs to the lower levels?

Short Cut (Passive): 3 boost to checks made to catch or escape opponent

Improved Short Cut (Passive): - 2 strain = 3 boost to Short Cut check

Freerunning (Incidental): - 1 Strain = move to any location within short range

Improved Freerunning (Incidental): - 4 Strain = move to any location within medium range

I'm still learning dice, bare with me,

My base Coordination skill is: 2eP+4eA-2eS

Short Cut: +3eB?

Improved Freerunning: -4 strain = medium range?

Coordination check is: 2eC+1eD+2eS

So the setbacks cancel out right?

Yes. when a talent removes Setback, that's what you do-- you remove that number of setback dice from the dice pool before rolling . So, if the GM assigns a task two setback dice, and you have a talent that removes one of them, you only roll one setback. If you had a talent that removes more setback than the GM gave you, then you can remove the number of setback as the talent allows, up to the total number of Setback dice the GM originally gave you.

He's trying to beat whoever else is in the base to wherever that "secret" facility is (in case that's where Matt's characters are headed, inadvertently or otherwise).

Question, if I had Short Cut but not Freerunning wouldn't I be able to catch up or escape in a race/chase anyway?

Yes. Freerunning and Shortcut do two different things. Freerunning is basically using Parkour to use walls, railings and other "obstacles" as pathways to get from place to place quickly. Shortcut is just that, cutting through alleys, rooms, side passages, etc to get someplace quicker or ahead of someone else.

Yeah, we figured that you did that.

So in this instance, I'd be using both talents? For example: instead of using a door & stairs where someone might see me, I'm choosing to climb up and use the chimney to get into the basement.

Not quite. More like you're leaping over railings, clearing several steps, flipping off of walls, etc.

Thank you, for the videos. I knew it was parkour

I said climbing when I should have said running

The question was about using both talents together

Describe what? It was already said that the doors open leading a path to the control room.

Yes you can use boost from shortcut.

What happened with Kodas roll? Did you just want to play out the scene? As it's your intro and not currently connected to the other players on Kamino, you can just write out what you want and don't have to roll anymore.

Yeah, I'll just write Koda's after Mychal'el's scene then.

I thought your guys were just there to fight the First Order? Remember, you know more than your characters do. I just assumed they would be trying to clean house.

My character has no idea who your characters are, or why they are there. He suspects they might be Sith.

My placeholder purpose-for-being-here (though I can retcon it if needed) is a republic world (possibly Kamino itself) decided to not build up their military, and has instead posted a bounty on removing the first order from this world.

Jarash is using the "Cut off the snake's head" approach. Matt's character might have heard of the bounty and is attempting a more... valorus approach.

Dice Roll

2eP+4eA+3eB+2eC+1eD : 5 successes, 5 advantage [2eP=S/S, S/A] [4eA=S, A, S/A, S/S] [3eB=A, A, S/A] [2eC=F, F/Th] [1eD=F] So my goal is to beat everyone else down to the lower restricted level without running into First Order or any PCs by taking a unorthidox path not intended for sentient travel. Mechanically, how far did my Character get by using both Improved Freerunning & Short Cut talents together? I'm not sure what the differences between 1 success and 5 successes are. And I'm not sure what the advantages mean in-game. I guess it's up to the GM? Then do I get to write about it?????

Success is success. More success cancels more failures, and sometimed degree of success may matter, but generally, 1 success is enough to do whatever.

Advantages and Complications (er... threat) are other things that happen. You shot out the security cameras, but the guard had an open comm. (and your bluff skill sucks, Han) You fail to sneak up on the scouts, but manage to hijack a pair of bikes to try and stop them before they report in.

Success with advantage is a really good success,no strings attacked, and luck on your side. Failure with complications is a mistake that makes things worse.

5 successes, 5 advantage = 1 success with 1 advantage?

fixed that for you.

Edit: in general, 2 advantage can be spent for something that could be done or undone with a move. 3 advantage for something that could be done or undone with an Action. And a Triumph does something that cannot be easilly reversed.

So I do need to wait for GM interpretation before I can start writing then

You spend your own advantage. See my edit above.

I think I get it. So I in this case, I succeeded in getting as far as your characters but I get to do 5 things that benefit me somehow along the way?

5 minor things, 2 moderate things, or one really good thing.

Also, it's not "thing you did", it's "thing happened that benifts you."

So many overly specific yet completely subjective rules. I think the game developers designed this so people would spend years arguing over silly stuff.

weeks, maybe, but years is a bit ridculus.
