Hi all

@Von3679 is going to be rejoining the game with a mandalorian jedi knight character, might introduce him by having him be hunting Jango.

Hey, sorry for leaving last time. A lot of things happened but glad to be back

IIRC, our GM has opinions about Crossguard so it might not be available.

You made a bunch of crafting rolls, either all of them count and cost credits or you can start a new seqhence, I believe mental tools always counts as the right tools for the job which provides a boost. Expect to make multiple roles... base difficulty for a standard saber is 2 purple,

I believe defensive lightsaber reduces damage by 1 in exchange for increasing defense by one.

I've explained to him in pm that the house rule is it triggers on an enemy's despair not his triumph but with sum djem (his build is a consular:niman-disciple/armorer/knight fr 4) he has a chance to disarm when attacking and defending, so it works as a plus for his build.

@EliasWindrider

I'm spending some of Mireska's banked XP on some Farsight upgrades, specifically route to adding Force dice to Perception and Vigilance checks. Mireska did not like being surprised like that!

(I'm not planning on going for the whole tree, so Ker'see will remain the undisputed master/mistress of Farsight.)

I'll update this post when the MediaFire PDFs are updated.

@Von3679 are you going to craft armor to?

https://star-wars-rpg-ffg.fandom.com/wiki/Armour_Crafting?mobile-app=false

If so...

Make a bunch of reinforced clothing, use practice makes perfect until you build up 7 (no more than 7 boost dice), then make one attempt on reflective armor... you want extra melee defense, extra ranged defense and customizable and extra soak. Since you're mandalorian I imagine you had a mandalorian armorer providing advice/supervising so on that 1 role you get to apply valuable facts for a free triumph which also counts as a succes.

What that'd get you is soak 2, defense 2, enc 2, armor with 2 hp... which is only 1 hp better than modded armor inserts in clothing.

As a jedi character you have access to a jedi artisan who can add 2 hp each to 2 items, 1 should be armor the other should be a lightsaber (because your character is mandalorian)

Ok. Foresee is another option, for initiative.

Already got that.

(I'm probably going to end up with all the "add Force dice to a skill" powers. )

By the way, I will send you a PM at some point about my Ebb/Flow thoughts - but probably not for a few of days.

Ok.

They are useful and most are in enhance.

Ethan has quite a few already.

Ok. Srry it got mixed wif my rolls fr another game whr i had to create saber oso. I’ll restart. How many rolls shd i do?

I ate a "beyond burger" last night... woke up with bad gas... going to need to take beano or gasX in the future. Beyond meat is a veggie meat company... very close to beef in all regards... texture/granularity is slightly off, taste is definitely meat but a slightly subpar cow... much closer to beef than say buffalo (American bison) better tasting than buffalo. If you put ketchup on it it's indistinguishable from a real (cow) burger taste wise.

Given the impending meat shortage due to Corona virus shutting down meat processing plants we decided to give the new veggie meat a try... better for the environment and kinder to cows.

@EliasWindrider

My sympathies.

(It's not the same situation at all, but I'm suddenly flashing back to that 3-day misery last summer caused by food poisoning. Gastro-intestinal discomfort of any sort is really lousy.)

Until you get what you want, run out of credits, or give up out of boredom. With only 2 yellow dice the chances of getting 2 triumphs on the same roll is 1/144... so probably want to stop on a roll with 1 triumph and enough advantage for something else.

You can reforge a hilt to reduce cost of next attempt by half of original sabers base cost... good practice is to not reforge the current best hilt so you end up with 2 hilts at the end and one is the best you've ever made.

@EliasWindrider

I'd like get rid of my kludged solution to previous problems with Armour Insert in Oggdude.

Therefore, may I please ditch the very home-made "Mireska's Jedi Healer Uniform" in favour of a crafted Reinforced Clothing (adding dice results which will give it +1 Hard Point so that it properly mimics Armoured Clothing) with the Armour Insert and Portable Plasma Shield (with identical mod results to the original versions)?

If need be, I can make some retro-active crafting rolls.

@Von3679

Welcome back!

An Armourer will be particularly welcome.

If you don't already have it, then may I suggest the Manipulate power - particularly the upgrade which adds Force dice to Mechanics skill checks?

As long as the crafted thing has 1 hp, and you're using a talent or the jedi artisan +2 hp fo make the portable plasma shield legal go ahead, no crafting rolls needed

I didn't suggest that to him but a few hours ago he said he had some xp left to spend.

Ok! Where does the practise makes perfect come from? Is it a talent?

Oh interesting, i will try! I wanted a crossguard saber cause i wanna have a knight like long sword with my hand shield i’ll really look like a knight! XD

Not a talent in this particular context.

It's a result from the Armour crafting table (in the Guardian sourcebook, Keeping the Peace p. 91) which allows the crafter to spend an Advantage in order to add +1 Boost on the next check with the same skill (before the end of the current session). Our GM allows the crafter to add up to +7 Boosts (from 7 Advantages) in this fashion.

Oh so i can “keep” the boost?

Ok will finalise saber first. Gear is mind breaking fr me so i gotta take it step by step XD. How much creds do i hv to spend?

1 minute ago, Von3679 said:

Each boost is only good for the next roll.

However, the Advantages will keep adding up the longer that you work at rolling the dice, so eventually you will have those +7 Boosts available to roll on the next check. (Possibly with some extra +Boosts from other sources, like talents or good tools - check with @EliasWindrider about that.)

Oooh. So i keep adding boosts, then refresh and add based on advantages etc...? Okok. I’m gonna reroll lightsaber, making defensive saber, so 3 rolls max fr me to keep it to 900 creds.

Then how about the crystal?

: 1eA+2eP+2eD+2eB 2 successes, 3 advantage

6 rolls for standard saber. So 600 creds. I guess i’ll use all 3 advantage on crossguard...?
