Cool pilot combo: Showboat & Super Human Reflexes

By EliasWindrider, in Star Wars: Force and Destiny RPG

I was trying to create the ultimate force sensitive but otherwise stereotypical smuggler (pilot, gambler, gunslinger, con-man/woman, erstwhile face)

and I noticed something really cool...

if you use the hotshot's showboat you will either be adding a triumph if you succeed on the pilot check or a despair if you fail, but the racer's super human reflexes talent says once per session if you roll a despair on a pilot check you remove it and add a number of successes equal to your ranks in cool. assuming that you have 5 ranks in cool (for gambling and quick draws/initiative) using show boat, failing, getting a despair and converting that to 5 successes gives you a pretty good chance of turning the failing roll into a successful roll, and if you succeeded in the first place you get to add a triumph

And if they have enhace for piloting....

I was trying to.plot out an efficient progression

And it looks like a pantaron starting with 4 in agility, 3 in cunning and presence, and 2s in everything else. Then in increments of 235 earned xp, going racer, hot shot, starfighter ace and padawan, after that I'm thinking hunter, navigator, or sage.
