PBP Alt Univ: Clone Wars: Misc

By EliasWindrider, in Star Wars: Force and Destiny Beginner Game

@EliasWindrider , three minions groups of four will last maybe one and a half round. With an HT of 2, 1s2a with Linked Blaster Cannons takes out an entire group. With 4 PCs and a probable 5 hits total per round not counting Crits, that's two and a half groups down after round one.

Something I have considered for the BARCs is changing their weapons to personal scale. This balances them against personal scale targets and make them weaker against their seppie counterparts (which use twin LRBs).

If they have twin HRBs, then they have a base damage of 15, but gain Auto-Fire. Then can be fired selectively for Linked 1 and no bonus difficulty (32 damage on 1s2a = a STAP and a half), or fired on Auto-Fire for +1 difficulty, but unlimited extra hits.

Important to note is that since BARCs have 1 armor (I can also make an argument for dropping that), the LRBs of the STAPs do minimum 2 personal-scale damage past armor.

Alternatively, slap light blaster cannons on the STAPs, but we don't want that. :D

What's the hull trauma of the STAP.... I was figuring that you would be having to target them rather than the droids themselves.

Can you post the stap stats?

And here's the BARC for good measure: https://theouterrim.co/vehicles/603677bd-32b8-4b18-a5f9-2fb24cccb4ff/

Thinking the same, lol

I'm going to make that 5 minion groups of 3 rather than 3 of 4.

Just bought "Targeted Blow" from sharpshooter for 25XP.

Going to take a rank in piloting planetary at 5xp.

Ditto ...

Picked up Conditioned 2 (20 XP), D2 on the Death Watch Warrior tree.

Should have said sooner but I will be on holiday from tomorrow for a week, so expect sporadic updates.

@MrTInce @RuusMarev

A question for the players of the rest of the (active) Jedi characters: will your character be taking any/all of the Jedi trees, either eventually or now?

In particular, I'm asking about General and Master. It would also be nice to know if anyone is planning on taking the Side By Side talent on the Knight tree.
