Yeah, I've always wanted to play a Wookiee but I can't pull of the growl it hurts my throat.

I thought it would be cool as a play by post prop. But if I say the same thing twice I'll get different results.

If you’re gonna say the exact same thing twice, just copy and paste your first post. The point of the translator is to “translate” different pieces of dialogue or sentences, not the exact same one over and over.

Yeah I see how it works. But in a play by post senario you'd have a record of past tranlations, common phrases would be repeated like: shoot him, medic!, abandon ship, etc.

Yeah, so you copy and paste those phrases. In fact, if you really wanted, you could put the most commonly used one into a Word file and then just copy and paste into your posts as needed.

Also, if you need a name, check out this Wookiee naming guide .

In one of the other campaigns I play in on these forums, I have an Albino Wookiee Sentinel Sentry/Armorer who dual wields Ancient Sword (Ryyyk Blade) and Lightsaber. He actually prefers his ryyk blade, since it's a cultural weapon.

Can you then use wookiee rage with the swords?

No. The Ancient Sword , uses the Lightsaber skill, Wookiee Rage only works with Brawl and Melee . I asked Sam Stewart this question a while back. This was the response:

It does not apply, and that is intentional.

Rules Question:
I have a quick question regarding the Wookiee Rage species ability. In the EotE core rules, it says, " Wookiee Rage: When a Wookiee has suffered any wounds, he deals + 1 damage to Brawl and Melee attacks. When a Wookiee is Critically Injured, he instead deals + 2 damage to Brawl and Melee attacks." Now, here's the question. Eote doesn't have the Lightsaber skill as a native skill, but F&D does. If I am playing a Wookiee Jedi would the Wookiee Rage ability also apply to the Lightsaber skill in F&D?

By RAW you should be able to use it with any of the swords that use the Melee skill including Vibroswords listed in the CRB.

Yes, but he's asking about the Ancient Sword from F&D CRB. That weapon uses the Lightsaber skill.

I agree with your statement about the Ancient Sword (which was a question that you guys schooled me on previously ? ). But his question was specifically about the Ryyk Blade, which is listed in the system. So yes, if they are using the Ancient Sword that uses the Lightsaber skill, then no Wookie Rage wouldn't apply (by RAW and Dev ruling). But if they use almost any other sword in the system(s), including the Ryyk Blade. Then yes, Wookie Rage would apply. Perhaps they can just retcon his weapon if they player wants to.

Yep. That is correct, if you're using that specific weapon from that book. However, like I mentioned in one of my previous posts, I have a Wookiee Sentinel who wields an Ancient Sword which is narratively described as a "Ryyk Blade". As such, it really comes down to which weapon he chooses to purchase.

So then the question comes down to if Wookiee Rage counts if using two weapons with one being Melee and one being Lightsaber skill. Does it only count if the character's Melee skill is less than the Lightsaber resulting in using that for the Proficiency Dice? Or does it count any time he scores a hit with the Ryyk Blade even though lighsaber skill was used to calculate the Dice Pool?

I'd ask the developers that question. My character uses the same skill for both of his weapons, so...

I'm going to let @VadersMarchKazoo ask the question. I'm still waiting on an answer from two weeks ago he gets an answer in 10 minutes

You can add it to one hit of a Brawl or Melee attack, so yes, it would work even if the other attack is something else. I've seen a character attack with a Vibrosword and Heavy Blaster Pistol use Feral Strength and Point Blank to add to the Damage values of both hits. It sounds more effective than it really is, since it pales before most Ranged (Heavy) attacks with Auto-fire.

You'll have to ask the Dev's since I don't want to be the squeaky wheel. Haha.

I think I'd allow wookie rage to be applied to the Ryyk blade during a two weapon attack assuming it was with the Melee skill and the second weapon was with the Lightsaber skill. But I might ask them to narrate this a bit for me to make the sale. Even before this I'd probably give them two options:

1) They could use Ryyk blade as listed in my previous post as a Melee weapon and a Lightsaber as the second weapon (using Lightsaber). In this case they would be able to use Wookie rage with the Melee weapon only BUT given that the two weapons use different skills they would have to increase the difficulty of the attack twice (as per the rules of two-weapon attacks).

2) They could use the Ancient Sword (narratively an ancient Ryyk Blade) using the Lightsaber skill along with a lightsaber BUT this wouldn't allow wookie rage. However, given that they use the same skill they would only increase the difficulty once in a two-weapon attack.

Anyways, I'd let them decide but once they did I wouldn't let them change again.
