Ok, I think for simplicity's sake I am going to have us just go through the standard rules of the lightsaber creation process. That way there's no confusion.

• Do an average mechanics or knowledge (lore) check for the hilt.
• Success represents the construction of a basic hilt (or because I like a bit of variety, any type of hilt)
• Additional successes reduces the time taken by 4 hours (to a minimum of 4).
• Failure in this case does not mean complete failure, but when you write up your post it does mean you had to start again because you buggered up.
• As the cost of materials is not an issue, advantage can result in modifications that do not effect mechanics, but can improve appearance and so forth (so purely cosmetic changes).
• Triumph gives adds 1 hard point to the lightsaber.
• Threat adds 12 hours to the build each, but 3 threat adds 1 encumbrance as it ended up bulkier than planned.
• Despair decreases hard points by 1.
• You may also add 1 mod to the crystal you guys received (which is the Ilum crystal) with an automatic success.
• Due to the workshop on the ship, you all count as having the 'tools for the right job' talent.
• You may all make a hard perception check to find a lightsaber attachment (not a crystal) valued at a maximum of 1,000 credits. If you wish to attach this it has to be done with the regular modification rules.

As @satkaz correctly pointed out, you guys will get a chance to meet Huyang. For this meeting, you can use his stats to assist in the building of the lightsaber as a standard assist check. He has an intellect of 5, and 4 ranks in mechanics.

If you could all do this before reaching knight level as well (or using your previous stats), as this is when you would be making your lightsabers.

Hope that clears it all up!

For those of us making lightsabers, do you want us to start writing on the IC thread, then?

You can start writing them, but I would like for everyone to finish their trials before they are posted, as you'll all be working on the ship on the way home.

Alright, failed the first lightsaber build check, will do the perception check in the meantime, since I plan on adding the two together on the post before I have Walden ask Huyang for help.

Mind if I flip a DP for this one? Or should I wait?

I would recommend using up any DP's left, as this is coming to the end of this 'session'

Alright, using DP.

Perception [Finding Parts] : 1eP+1eA+3eD 0 successes, 3 threat, 1 Triumph

Oh, Orokos, making me have some interesting things.

So, for me, failed a lightsaber check, forgot I had a boost die, so I'll roll and see what happens on that.

And then this was for the Perception check, so a total of 2 threat.

Boost Die for Perception : 1eB 0 successes, 1 advantage

Well I'll count the triumph as a success so you're grand

Well, I now know how to write the situation back on the ship, building the lightsabers. This is going to be fun for me. The two threat, I'll take as a setback dice for the next lightsaber construction check.

That sounds fair

I'll roll perception with a destiny point spent and if Zoroku get assisted by the Droid do I get his pool or a boost?

If the one helping has a greater characteristic or skill than you, you use one character's characteristics for the ability dice, and one character's skill for the proficiency dice.

If they don't have a greater skill than you, it's a boost.

For example, Walden has 3 intellect, but no skill in Mechanics. Huyang has 5 intellect and 4 skill in Mechanics. I would use Walden's 3 intellect for the ability dice, and use Huyang's 4 skill in Mechanics to get me a pool of 3 yellow, 1 green.

On the other hand, if Walden tried to help, say, Quell, who has 4 Intellect and 1 skill in Mechanics, it'd be a boost die, since Quell outclasses Walden in both aspects. The reverse of that would go back to the first kind of assist: I would use Walden's 3 Intellect and Quell's 1 skill in Mechanics to have a dice pool of 1 yellow, 2 green.

He has greater both than Zoroku.

Just now, Shlambate said:

Then it would be the same as Walden: Since Zoroku has 3 intellect, that'd be used for the ability dice. Huyang's 4 skill in Mechanics would be overlayed as proficiency, so you would have 3 yellow, 1 green.

This is how I think assisted checks work if the one helping has greater ability and skill than you.

Alright then. I think I'll have a post up soon for Zoroku's thoughts on the script.

So if Huyang assists Muu, who has Int 2 - no mechanic ranks, it would be 2 Yellow & 2 green VS 2 Purple (average check), correct?

Edit: Actually, hold on. I think it'd be 3 yellow against 2 purple, since the 3rd point of skill from Huyang would be a green first, then upgraded to a yellow for the final point.

Saber Hilt Correction Check : 3eP+2eD 2 successes, 1 threat, 1 Triumph

Accurate Dice Pool EDIT: Huyang assisting Muu with the lightsaber hilt construction.

12 hours (1 threat) - 4 hours (1 extra success) = 8 hours. Plus triumph equals an extra hardpoint to the crossguard hilt construction.

Perception check with DP Flip : 2eP+3eD 2 successes, 2 threat

Perception check looking for an attachment. 2 threat equal Muu searching for all the parts and understanding Huyang's mechanical lingo (extra time spent finding the materials)?

Huyang assisting Muu with the lightsaber hilt construction.

Perception check looking for an attachment.

Shoot. Again, I was wrong at first glance. That saber hilt assist should be 3 yellow, not 2 yellow, 2 green. Perception is fine, though.

Is mine actually 3P+1A?

Just now, Shlambate said:

It would be 3P+1A, yes.

Zoroku has 3 intellect, Huyang has 4 skill in Mechanics.

The 3 ability dice Zoroku brings is covered by 3/4 points of skill Huyang gives. The last point, since there's no more dice to upgrade, would be added on as an ability dice.

: 2eP+2eA+2eD 3 successes, 2 threat, 2 Triumph

I built a cross guard hilt. if I can with out the triumph great.

LightSaber and the Perception

Lightsaber Mechanics : 3eP+1eA+2eD 2 successes

I spent Destiny on the Perception

Perception : 2eP+1eA+3eD 2 successes, 1 threat

Guess I'll be rolling with a DP for the Lightsaber, with a Setback dice. It's gonna be a Basic Lightsaber.

Mechanics [Lightsaber Crafting with Huyang] : 4eP+2eD+1eS 1 success, 1 advantage

Success, and it looks nicer with that 1 advantage.

Funny enough, rolled without the DP as a mistake and got a better result.

Mechanics [Lightsaber Crafting with Huyang] : 3eP+1eA+2eD+1eS 1 success, 3 advantage

These dice, man.

As for the perception roll, I'll be grabbing some parts in order to make a custom grip. Should still be under 1,000 credits.

I'm just gonna make my lightsaber now since I have time. I'm also going to make a double instead of a regular.

Lightsaber Hilt Creation : 3eP+1eA+2eD 1 success, 2 advantage, 1 Triumph

The gods of Orokos are kind to me

Perception for Attachment : 4eA+3eD 0 successes, 2 advantage

Sometimes...

What should I do with the advantages?

Also @Rabobankrider I have a feeling you're going to turn Perig into my crystal

3 success, 1 Adv. 1 Triumph,
