Ok, Long Time No See everyone....

Here's my Q, If I get SV and when it says... "He upgrades the ability of all Mechanics checks made to work on the vehicle once." What is that in layman's terms? I have a PC that has 4 Dice in Mechanics 3 Upgrd & I want to do a Mod or something on my SV, Do I now get 4 Dice Upgraded on that check? Then say 3 sessions down the line I want to upgrade or something again on my SV, will I again get 4 Dice Upgraded or is it just my normal roll? HOW DOES THIS WORK?!

Thanks in Adv

It upgrades your pool from 1 green 3 yellow to 4 yellow dice.
Or if you have for example int 4 and mechanics 4, it would upgrade the pool to ppppa, so you get one green dice extra.

It just upgrades your dice pool once when modding, repairing or doing damage control checks, etc anything that is a mechanic check on that specific vehicle basically. Great when changing the engine signature of that ship as well (See Fly Casual for who engine signatures work)

For reference on how upgrading dice pools work, check "Building a Basic Dice Pool" in your AoR core book. Page 28 specifically explains how upgrading dice works.

So what is your intelligence? And mechanics?

Say your int is 2 and mech is 4

Then you have 2 yellow and 2 green

If your int is 4 and your mech is 2 same result.

Then sv will upgrade a green to a yellow so you would have 3 y 1 g

Will I get this upgrade every time I make a MECH chk? Or is it just Once as the book says. This is whats confusing

Remember, the talent says you "Upgrade ALL Mechanics checks made on your Signature Vehicle once." So that means it effects every single Mechanics check you make on that vehicle for as long as you have it.

The "once" in there is telling you how many upgrades you get. You don't get two upgrades on every check, or three upgrades. You only upgrade those Mechanics checks one time each, due to that talent.
