@Bellona , @MrTInce , @RuusMarev , if/when @EliasWindrider has to take parental leave from the game, how about we just rotate GMs from mission to mission (or session to session, depending on circumstances) rather than having one player GM ongoing? This would allow the PCs to all still participate without a full time GMPC and everyone would get a chance to have the full player experience.

I think this would work well for this campaign since it, like the Clone Wars, is very episodic and we're basically just following the timeline.

Happy to take turns. Especially as someone thought it would be good to split up

@EliasWindrider

Do our dead clones eventually get replaced with new clones who are functionally equivalent to their fallen comrades?

Yes.

It worked last time, so let's try it again ...

* Dangles our beloved GM off the roof of the CN Tower and shakes him vigorously, while @P-47 Thunderbolt , @RuusMarev , and @MrTInce hold out nets to catch any XP that falls. *

@EliasWindrider , you're getting a tour of all the longest drops in the world! Want to see the Burj Khalifa next?

Followed by the Canton Tower in Guangzhou, IIRC.

Oh, I've got plans for next week... He won't be seeing the Burj Khalifa if I get to him first.

@Bellona @MrTInce @P-47 Thunderbolt @RuusMarev get 6 xp 😱

For a hypothetical 2000 earned xp character

http://www.mediafire.com/file/wtnwx88i53n4h0e/KelitahLaterius2000EarnedXpUber.pdf/file

With 4 yellow, 1 green; 6 white (manipulate skill & mastery) + an advantage vs 1 purple (standard lightsaber with secrets of the jedi)

The goal was 3 triumph (1 from manipulate mastery, 2 for integral attachment superior 1 for fine tuned emitter) and 6 advantage (customizable and personalized design).

With a jedi multitool

I was short 2 advantage on the first roll , got the desired result with a spare advantage on the 6th roll. I think I was lucky in the number of attempts.

Time for a brief trip to a slightly more exotic location ... (Wow, Dubai's certainly changed a lot since the late '70s!)

Virtual Arab coffee and date snacks afterwards for those who like the stuff!

Curse my reasonable bedtime. Even fighter planes need to reboot.

@EliasWindrider , @P-47 Thunderbolt , @RuusMarev , @MrTInce :

Really cool video with starship/space travel size comparisons (in case you didn't catch the topic on the main EotE forum):

Enjoy!

Thank you. Just 1 XP off from what I want.

@Bellona @MrTInce @P-47 Thunderbolt @RuusMarev

What are your xp totals at the moment

And how do you feel about the rate at which xp is being dispensed.

I know that being only 1 xp away from what you want can be tantalizing/frustrating but I'm assuming that you prefer getting the 1 extra xp a week that shakes loose.

My OCD has been... copin g .

I'm at 1190 with 20 available. I'm going to spend some of that when I get a chance today, haven't had time to check my sheet with everything going on right now.

As for rate, I'm fine with it. Because we're at such a high level, we start to think more long term about what we want to pick up with our XP, so it feels much slower than it actually is. No complaints, just a observation of psychology.

Jorin is 1190 total, 280 available... which will change soon. He just needs to pick up his next growth spurt after he gets the new crystal.. then I'll start purchasing a bunch of skills and talents.

Earned XP = 1196, of which 16 are unused right now.

(Starting XP = 110, including Morality bonus.)

Earned XP = 1168 with 49 unused.

Did you mean 1169 with 49 unused?

Picked up Armor Master (Improved) (20 XP), D1 on the Death Watch Warrior tree.

(I just realised that I forgot to answer this part of the post.)

XP rate is fine.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but when we leave Christophsis then we'll get an end-of-episode bonus, right?

As for the spending of the XP: Mireska is facing some expensive talents in her run to the bottom of the Master tree*, so her future expenditures will come at a slower rate for the most part.

* Among other things, that run-in with Ventress showed that upgrading the enemy's difficulty dice is extremely important, but with only 4 Force dice it leaves her unable to Heal as well as she should. Therefore 5 Force dice is one goal there. The Master tree is also the most expedient one on which to hang the Peerless Interception signature ability.

No... you get xp bonus during time skip ... you'll head immediately to teth to rescue jabba's son from ventress after being done with christophsis. After return rotta (sp?) to the ABBA on tatooine you'll get a time skip and bonus xp.

If you don't get improved reflect and improved parry... you won't be able to use many most of peerless interceptions upgrade.

"Rotta" is correct.
