Unlimited Power -- Sourcebook for Mystics

By Blackbird888, in Star Wars: Force and Destiny RPG

Well my artisan / armoured would like those rules.

Maybe they have also modification packages for with sith magic (or alchemy) "deformed" creatures - and a tree with telepathy would be cool too (Kylo Ren used telepathy, so it´´´ s time for a force power ^^)

Obviously, Ni Fang has an advance copy of Fully Operational and rolled at least two Advantage. ;)

This is partly correct however I get 3 automatic advantages to remove system strain and grants a +1 dodge :)

Reinforcing your attempt to be "on-topic," whatever THAT means.

Here's what I'm anticipating from this book! I'm going to be 100% wrong, but!

1) Alchemy rules! The major Chapter 3 extra rules thing. I expect it'll work like the various crafting systems, only you'll have to be a Force-sensitive (and possibly have a specific power; see below), and it's probably done with a skill like Knowledge: Lore instead of Mechanics, and allows you to create imbued objects (and possibly creatures!)

2) Two new Force powers: Alchemy, and Psychometry (likely with catchier names)! I think that the Alchemy power will be a more advanced version of the Imbue Item and Reinforce Item talents, and very similar to the Alchemy crafting rules, only the power would obviously only last a short time, probably for an encounter at most. Psychometry (also called object reading for those who don't know) would grant the ability to read the past of people, places, and objects, as well as gather impressions of powerful or notably events that happened at or near the target. A very useful ability, and one I've wanted to see for a long time!

3) Variant weapon and armor attachments! I'm thinking the "lucky" blaster they mention in the article will be an example of this. An alchemical weapon attachment, that must be installed and can only be modded by a Force user, and can only be "created" by one too; not something you could buy, except from an alchemist willing to do the work for you.

How right am I? My guess is very not. But here's hoping!

* Final addendum - one of the specs, hopefully the Prophet, that has the One with the Universe talent. Kemna needs her OwtU, goshdarnit >_< !!!

With your current track record Abs sweetie, I'd say you;re correct on point one and two at best

No the prophet is always right! @Absol197 is infallible.

Telepathy exists. The Poli Massan Species has Telepathy as a talent. I do agree with you though it could definitely be a force power.

Maul also showed himself adept at it in Rebels, possibly his miniseries as well iirc

All things wax, and all things wane. There are no Absol-utes, and my power, however great it might be, is not unlimited (despite what the name of my career's book is :P ).

I'm not gonna stop, I'm gonna keep trying my best, but my record has indeed been tarnished.

Dont panic! The only thing you got wrong {in past books} was a placement of a force power {its there just in a different tree!} otherwise you're on par! Note: Lucky Blaster is briefly mentioned in F&D core book somewhere I remember briefly seeing it in passing

I mean, the announcement article for Unlimited Power mentions that the book will contain a lucky blaster, so it's either a standalone weapon, a standard attachment, or a theoretical "alchemical attachment." So...maybe I'm just hopeful :P .

*rolls die for Absol*...... Ok that came up a Triumph; that's good right ?

The Mystic spec book would be a good place for some GM advice on creating and running Force visions and related shenanigans.

So I saw a wild estimate on d20 that it could be out a lot sooner than anticipated? What, seriously, is the earliest we can expect to see this.

The fastest times for every remaining stage of development (as far as I've tracked) are as follows:

At the Printer : 21 days;

On the Boat : 40 days;

Shipping Now : 13 days.

That totals 74 days, which, measured from the day the status changed of 11/02/2017, gives us January 15. However, that's not a Thursday, and ever since Fly Casual released on Monday February 23, 2015, every book has released on a Thursday.

Now, the closest Thursday to January 15 is the 18th, but if we're going for earliest possible, we could rewind to the 11th.

So technically, the fastest we could realistically predict Unlimited Power to be released is January 11. However, this is extremely unlikely, and I think late February to early March is the safest bet. Heck, in their own announcement article, FFG pegged it as a Q2 2018 release, so minimum of April! With that in mind, I don't think March is too much to ask.

Maaaayyynnn. I've moved my character into another spec..with potentially going for a universal if it comes to it next. I am really excited and it's making me have an irrational expectation of Christmas release.

I know :( . My iconic character is almost exactly a Seer/Exile/Prophet. Currently she's got most of Seer and Exile filled, and has just bought into Advisor, and it would be nice to be able to switch to Prophet instead.

But alas. We'll have to be patient. The Force will ensure the book releases at the time that is right for it. We must simply have faith!

Awwww; I'll be on sabatical then :( {Eight days alone in natuyre no technology not even a camera to take landscape pictures of scenery} Though I return in time for my parents 50th anniversary cruise {still no internet} Hopefully it is IS on store shelves say... on the 22nd Janary ? I can read it :)\

*rolls two advantages and one threat for Absol*.... I hope that threat doesnt mean anything major there

Remember, that wasn't me predicting when it will be released, only what the theoretical earliest time is, based on my data. My actual current release date prediction is March 8.

My character will be dead by then.

As a side note I used advisor also and I hate it. Wish I had not. It's not very useful to my character in the way he does. I wish we had ascetic or something. Advisor seemed out of place.

Lately one of my characters is a perma drunk Jedi Master who stinks worse than a Hutt on a good day. Wont die any time soon I think
