Ok, thanks. Can i make my char on swsheets?

Sure.

How far into the future is the opportunity for Mireska to acquire that Lorrdian lightsabre crystal?

The reason why I'm asking is that I'm looking at that Portable Plasma Shield armour attachment. If Mireska buys it, I'm wondering if she will have the opportunity to make up the price difference (via stipend/whatever) in time for whenever the chance to buy the Lorrdian rolls by.

You have plenty of time to make up the difference, and in any event since hondo will be involved I'll let you take obligation to get the credits to pay for it if needed you will probably be getting a little obligation for it anyway

Thanks for the clarification.

I'll update the character sheet with the PPS (and put any necessary dice rolls for modding in this thread).

If Miresk a needs a hand with the mods, let me know. Tinari is not bad at the mechanics now and has a pretty good shot until the red dice appear. :)

Okay ... Mireska also bought a Portable Plasma Shield (CotR) armour attachment and installed it in her Jedi Healer uniform/armoured clothing.

She then worked on modding the attachment. Her first attempt to improve the melee defence (Defence value) didn't work, but the second attempt did. Her two attempts to improve the ranged defence (De´flection value) both worked. Only her first attempt to improve the ranged defence (Deflection value) worked.

(Technically, she could have tried for a third increase of the Deflection value, but that's currently not necessary as both her defence values have hit the maximum value of 4 now, thanks to the modded Armour Inserts armour attachment already in the uniform.)

When I update Mireska's character sheet in the OOC thread to reflect this, the credit box will only show her "free cash on hand". Her in-depth background description describes how 1,500 cr. have been "used" for a Cyclic Crystal Array, and how 7,600 cr. have been "saved" towards the standard price for a Lorrdian gemstone lightsabre crystal (9,600 cr.).

First attempt to mod +1 Defensive on Portable Plasma Shield:

+1 Melee Defence mod on Port.Pl.Sh. : 2eP+2eA+3eD 1 failure, 3 advantage
p-s-s.png p-a-a.png a-a.png a-a.png d-th.png d-f-f.png d-f.png

Second attempt at same:

+1 Melee Defence mod on Port.Pl.Sh. : 2eP+2eA+3eD 1 success
p-a.png p--.png a-a.png a-s-a.png d-th-th.png d--.png d-th.png

First attempt to mod +1 Deflection on PPS:

+1 Ranged Defence mod on Port.Pl.Sh. : 2eP+2eA+3eD 2 successes, 2 advantage
p-s.png p-s-a.png a-s-a.png a-s-a.png d-f.png d-f.png d-th.png

Second attempt at same:

+1 Ranged Defence mod on Port.Pl.Sh. : 2eP+2eA+3eD 1 success, 1 advantage
p-a-a.png p-s.png a-a-a.png a-s-s.png d-th-th.png d-th.png d-f-f.png

Missing extra difficulty dice the the last roll:

+1 Ranged Defence mod on Port.Pl.Sh. (missing difficulty) : 2eD 3 failures
d-f-f.png d-f.png

Which makes it 2 Failures, 1 Advantage (instead of 1 Successe, 1 Advantage).

Incorrect difficulties changed the results.

Thank you for the offer!

Unfortunately, I had the editing window open so long that I didn't see your post in time. But I'll remember for another time! :)

Every successful mod increases the difficulty by 1. The 2 success and 2 advantage... I'll let you keep that one as a gimme because it probably would have succeeded but you need to roll 2 purple and add it to the last attempt. Which will probably fail then try it again at 5 purple difficulty.

Thanks for pointing that out! Good thing I haven't finished updating the sheets yet.

Before I start messing with this again, could you please refresh my memory - if a mod is of a different type than a previous one (Deflection vs. Defensive, for example), does the increasing difficulty re-set itself back to the lowest value? (Or did I just dream that I read that somewhere?)

Also, whatever the difficulty of that final attempt, I think that Mireska will take advantage of Tinari's kind offer (above); 3 Proficiency + 4 Force beats my humble 2 Proficiency + 2 Ability any day.

Mod difficulty is per attachment, type of mod to the attachment has no impact on the difficulty. I'm confused about why tinari gets 4 force dice.... maybe the alter power based on knowledge of rules but I didn't recall him having it. Not alter manipulate (dang imperfect memory) and he seems to have it now.

The latest version of Tinari (per the link posted not that far above in this thread) has the Manipulate power (EV), including the Control: Mechanics upgrade which adds Force dice to Mechanics skill checks.

During the rebuild I used the Short Path to Power rule on Pg 17 of Collapse trading 30 points of starting xp for raising my FR to 2.

I then tweaked the build trying to focus on the investigator and Mando'jeti specs as a thematic concept, with Padawan and Sorosu Defender to round out and help my defenses a bit. Also traded the spare lightsaber in for better armor.

Part of the Mandalorian culture is so focused on the armor that it made sense to me to start investing in skills and such to eventually make it possible to 'suit up' and rather than looking at another spec to do that I thought it would be worth trying Manipulate as a limited investment. I can certainly remove or change that part of the build if you don't like it. It is a change from the original for sure, so anything you want changed just let me know.

Here is the link again, I didn't update the main one because I wanted you to look it over first and see if there was a problem or anything you wanted changed.

The short path to power is only available to the jedi career with knight or general as the starting spec (the specs that have fr2 as a prerequisite) . I believe your character is a sentinel starting investigator.

Well...missed that part. OK, need to modify and correct things, give me a couple of minutes to fiddle with things and a corrected sheet will be incoming.

Mireska will try a third time for the improvement to the Portable Plasma Shield's ranged defence - this time with the help of Tinari as per his very kind offer.

(I've already made the dice roll on orokos, but I'll wait until Tinari's re-build has been sorted out before posting anything, in case of changes.)

No worries, mistakes happen.

Hey everybody, do any of the jedi want Ahsoka Tano as their padawan, does anyone have an objection to Ahsoka being another character's padawan? Also roll force dice for the destiny pool for the battle of Christophsis,

I don't think that Mireska is a good candidate for Ahsoka's master, but I have no objections to anyone else taking her on as their padawan. :)

While Mireska will be shocked to see a junior padawan on the field of battle, she will also be happy to see her young friend. (And worried about her being in a combat zone.)

The Force is with us!

Ahsoka Tano? No objection to her being someones Padawan, could be entertaining. I am not sure if Tinari is a good match for her, but the Force guides us all, sometimes in unexpected ways.

OK, the character sheet should be fixed now. It should be better now, back to FR3.
