I have a question about the ponderous ability that hutt pcs get. The species pages says “Ponderous: A Hutt can never spend more than one maneuver moving per turn.”

My question is how does this work? Is it as straight forward as it seems?

Can hutt seems still use two maneuvers if they properly strain themselves as long as one of them is not used on moving? How would you rule a hutt piloting a vehicle? Would they get 2 movement maneuvers since they are not actually doing the moving?

The point here, I assume, is that hutt's are supposedly slow to move around. So I think it's pretty straight forward; they can have two maneuvers like everyone else, but can only use one of those maneuvers to move themselves about. A hutt driver could, however, spend both their maneuvers to drive/fly their craft.

Thanks angelman. Me and my friend just started the beginner adventure for edge of the empire and I want some extra characters ready on the off chance we either die, (unlikely in this system I know but...) or we get some more players who may not have time to make a character to start.thirdly I love making characters but I just wanted to check and make sure I understood the rule properly.

What other way were you interpreting it to work?

This is how I thouhh Th t it worked but I was unsure if it removed the second maneuver completely (which I thought made them ridiculously nerfed) or simply restricted them from using the second maneuver on movement as I thought
