More medical gear (for improved on the spot treatment), a better blaster (but without an Ascension Gun attachment, unlike the one that she's carrying right now), a datapad, restraining bolts and binders, some generic personal supplies - and 5 unused Encumbrance capacity in case we need to grab something (other than Rotta) on the way out.
53 minutes ago, Bellona said:Then I remembered today that of course jetpacks have their own Encumbrance value, and figured that everyone must have dumped theirs either the round before combat began or during the first round of combat (unless they're strong enough to carry it without a problem).
If Mireska had to dump hers during her first round, then I can just +2 Strain to her retroactively for that second manoeuvre.
The jetpack is already factored into Camo's carried Encumbrance, and Jorin has the space for it.
You have a natural Encumbrance Threshold of 7+1 from the utility belt, which is enough for the lightsaber, M8 (which you should probably drop), DR-45 (which is situationally useful and only 1 Encumbrance), Mk II EMP, and the jetpack makes it 6. Infrabinoculars push it up to 7, if the medpac is 2 you could drop the infrabinoculars and be at your ET. Or if you want to keep the binocs, you'd only be at ET+1 which is a single Setback and you retain your free Maneuver.
How often is Mireska running around with a large backpack? I'd suggest not using it as often as you can, since running around with a large backpack seems a tad impractical.
@RuusMarev , Jorin has the Mk III modular backpack as well, but he doesn't use it at all. He's only got about 4 Encumbrance (6 with jetpack) out of his natural 8+1 for the Utility belt. Though I think that the double-bladed lightsaber is 2 encumbrance... You really need to update his weapons and armor/gear sections.
@RuusMarev , Jorin's up!
How close is the Deka-2?
How much damage would it take if Jorin threw it up into the air?

Medium range.
10 if you dropped it from Short, 30 if you dropped it from Medium, Incapacitated if you dropped it from Long or Extreme.
Leave some husks on the ground, please. I need ammo for Move checks later.
Jorin will move to Short Range and...
Jorin v. Deka-2
:
3eF
1 Light Side, 2 Dark Side
uhh... 1 pip to upgrade to 1 sil object... (unless I misunderstood and I need a pip to active, I believe Jorin tapped into his anger and lifted it to medium range before dropping it..)

A Silhouette 1 object being lifted to Medium would require all 3 pips (basic activation, Strength upgrade to Silhouette 1 size, Range upgrade to Medium).
Which costs 1 LS destiny point flipped to DS, +2 Conflict, and +2 Strain.

Jorin will meditate on his actions later.. (and probably stick with Saber Shenanigans for now...
) and deals 30 damage to the droid.

I think I fixed him, if you'd like to double-check..(Lightsaber is Lightweight, so still 1enc.

Do you have the shoto on you, or would that be under "assets"?
You also have the M8 listed twice.
Assuming the stuff under "assets" doesn't count towards your Encumbrance, I think you're at 2 Encumbrance with a threshold of 9 (remember that when wearing armor, you subtract 3 from its Encumbrance).
You can drop the "-5 XP dependency" thing now, can't you?

Welcome to the club!

Mireska did a "Dark Side-enhanced" triage in the Petranaki Arena back on Geonosis, just to save as many Jedi lives as she could. (One of several reasons why I have never envisioned her as a Light Side paragon.)

I'm amazed how difficult it is to actually do anything worthwhile with the Force.. it seems you have to have 3-4 Force careers just to get results...(and max out a couple of Powers, just have ability to do something.) By the time you spend that many xp, you could have a mundane character with a better dice pool..
(I wonder how many Force dice Anakin would have.... heck, how many does Rey have?)

Depends what "worthwhile" is. Being able to one-shot a droideka by dropping it from Medium range is a lot .
Force powers that commit Force dice are quite good, and the extra edge from adding Force dice to some skills is quite good.

This is a balance issue. The force powers and talents are strong but force characters have so many abilities to pick from and are dependent on the fickle force die. Like you say you need 2-3 force die (so two specialisations) to get really good results.
Anakin is force rating 5: http://swa.stoogoff.com/#anakin-skywalker

Or he couldn't because of his suit.
Vader was very limited in what Force powers he could use without his limbs.
You want a minimum of 4 force dice, beyond 6 is mostly pointless. If you padawan, knight, niman around 1100 to 1200 earned xp is a powerful broadly capable jedi.

Recover a Strain (wound), pass on a Boost, and negate her defensive bonuses. I believe this is

Hits for 12. 12-(2+3+4)=3, 3-Soak=-1. 3 Strain for first Reflect in a round.
Effortless Counter and Activate Quality (Linked) (not using Critical Counter since it specifies "when spending Despair") deals 12 damage past Soak on the Supers, downing 1 and almost a second.
Passes on a Boost with the last Advantage.
I actually had to go back and correct this by adding the difficulty, but it actually didn't change anything since Linked doesn't do anything in this situation (though I had still triggered it since it made since and Mireska can have her fun).

1 failure, 1 advantage, 1 Triumph
Recover a Strain (Wound) with the Advantage, knock the saber out of Jorin's hands with the Triumph.
This one was late because I got interrupted and then was confused when I came back. That's why the timestamp is funky.

@Bellona /Mireska: 21 Wounds, 4 Strain (first Reflect, Bowled Over), 2 crits (Bowled Over, At the Brink). Guess you aren't too happy with me taking over now, huh?
19 minutes ago, RuusMarev said:I was thinking as I read the Move details; Rey must have had like 7 dice to lift all those rocks in TLJ...
If Rey had the entire Move tree, then every Force pip used for Magnitude would have lifted +4 rocks and even just one pip used for Strength would have allowed her to shift up Silhouette 4 rocks (and bigger rocks if she'd used more pips for Strength).
But that's the movie, and the RPGs are usually a bit different from the movies.
(I admit to very mixed feeling about TLJ, but I don't outright hate it.)
Working on updating initiative order now. I'm assuming two LAAT/is, with a platoon each, and a LAAT/c with an AT-TE. I won't roll for them unless @EliasWindrider wants me to add more clones into the mix.
