And when you go nuts on gearing your characters... remember ENCUMBRANCE...

You can carry Brawn + 5 (unless your silhouette 0, then its Brawn+3)
Over that, you get +1 setback / enc to almost everything.

(Armor worn takes 3 off from enc of the armor remember that aswell)

I like that she has a footspeeder.  That's really fun.

Yes they are!! Insanely fun... and she has 0 skill to pilot it in athmosphere.... Hilarity ensured!

Would Shustihos do for “basic” piloting skills?

To teach, you need to have 2 ranks over the trainee.. so if you have 2 ranks in pilot (planetary) and Leadership ranks to actually train... sure.... :) if not, then its like blind leading the blind and deaf...

Few quesations:

@Phantompistoleer:
* Do we have an ship rented/loaned from Rebel alliance/stolen (insert pirates/empire here) ?
* Do we have any NPCs onboard of said ship, IF we have one ?

@Others:
* Do we have dedicated pilot ? and/or anyone manning the guns if we have a ship ?
* Noone thought of purcharing droid or two ?

@Metrofallout:
* Have you choosen your Morale ? (light/dark) aspects ?

I haven't, no. Where can I read up on that to make an informed decision?

Did we have Mechanics specialist in group... as I would love to have someone checking my char's hoverboard a bit.... *hint*
Rissa can check that out for you - and may end up wanting to build one for herself!

I updated Rissa's entry a bit (and took some of your advice, Miroque, although Pre3 is a racial thing so I can't refund that)

Quote(Armor worn takes 3 off from enc of the armor remember that aswell)
Oh, I completely missed that. Neat, Rissa is way underencumbered.


* Do we have dedicated pilot ? and/or anyone manning the guns if we have a ship ?
Both Shustihos and Rissa can pilot ... but not great. Rissa can also man guns with 3A.  (I think Shipwright could be in her future)
* Noone thought of purcharing droid or two ?
... I did not ... :-[

https://star-wars-fringe.obsidianportal.com/wikis/morality Thats one place you might want to check out... It does not have every morale aspect, but its good base...
Force traditions have their own interpidations aswell..

 My dude is gonna be good at 3 things: Lying through his teeth, hitting a coin off the head of a womprat from 2 clicks away, and pickpocketing someone without them noticing. He is, more or less, the group rogue.

Background currently in progress, looking at making him an explorer out from the Ascendency, joining the Imperial Scout corps figuring it was a good way to see the galaxy then going AWOL after a big battle after seeing just how many atrocities the Empire is willing to commit. Joined the rebellion not too long after and uses his talents to help give information to the alliance.

Skip that imperial entanglements and go for some corporate scouting/exploration corp.. would be way more fitting for non-human anyway. And might bring otherkind of elements to the game aswell.. *just a thought* Or arou you thinking of taking Imperial Academy Cadet universal tree ? (only reason I would consider imperial part to that character)

The system isn't complicated.  Don't overcomplicate it!  Just swap it out and try to make sure the encumbrance makes sense.

At work so poking wiki and daydreaming is all I can do!  Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something without having the pdfs at hand.

Quote from: Miroque on March 04, 2022, 12:03:38 PM
Which good stuff are you refering to ? (Training lightsaber that does only STUN?????) Its 400cr and not even restricted item to buy... go nuts....

Improved armor master is 40xp for jedi but 100xp for bounty hunter. Although bounty hunter path hits dedication getting it so 5 brawn!
Also that wiki is the one I use. It's a very nice one so thanks for your effort.

What are you looking at focusing on, Hexed?

There's armor mods to have integrated weapons, I believe it's in either Special Modifications or the base book.

Melee/tank ish build. More melee than tank just want to keep from swapping weapons so sap gloves, wrist mounted blaster on right arm, wrist mounted flamethrower on left arm, a shield (looking at riot but other options too). I know the wrist mount is a 2 hp mod for each weapon and I've not mathed the costs yet to see how far can take it. But before gear was 5 brawn, 17 wound, 14 strain, 5 or 6 soak

1.  No.  You will start media res within the Imperial listening station.  You got there via launched glider, which crashed in the jungle.  Your pilot died.  In the game, you will acquire a lambda shuttle.

2.  The slicer (GM character) has a couple of small droids.

Like I said, background is being worked on.

@Metro- I was digging through my books and I did find mandalorian armor, but it costs 6k and is super restricted.

Well, lucky me that Shustihos is a Mandalorian foundling then huh?

Did you take "Deathwatch Warrior" universal tree? It would make you actual mando

Hey, am I too late to join this crew?  Looking at an Ace setup for the crew's driver/pilot - someone has to do all the hotdogging while everyone else shoots back!  (Also, I will be out for the next week or so, so if that disqualifies me, that's okay.  On top of that...are two Mandalorians too much?)

Sorry, Reiji.  You might be.

I have my crew.  I will be putting up an OOC within the next 24 hours and closing this thread.
