Then the person in charge of calling in the star destroyers is your handler, who needs solid evidence you've discovered the whole rebel conspiracy and has no compunction with letting you die to accomplish it (because there's always more smugglers and unlicensed bounty hunters willing to work for them to get out of jail).

Could anyone with experience playing the system weigh in on how practical it would be to replace the skill list with 13th Age-style backgrounds? Looking at it, there seem to be a lot of defensive uses of skills like Cool, Discipline and Vigilance which initially seem like they'd be awkward to freeform (e.g. "I'll defend against this lie with Cunning 3 and... uh... Nerf Herder 2 because... er... I'm used to people trying to con me?" doesn't need to happen that often to really break flow). Plus, the talent trees are all based on skills and categorising them on the fly might be problematic. Equally though it seems like most of the time these defenses come up it'd be NPCs using them (so easily set as a flat set of defenses), and the talent trees mostly explain the context for bonuses (pleasant social interaction, hostile social interaction etc.) so it might not be that difficult?

Winson_Paine posted:The defensive skills are the other half of the opposed roll so you don't need to sweat it most of the time. It is never a roll off of you vs. someone, it is just one die pool being thrown to go either way. I would actually try the system before dicking with it too much, it is pretty well built in general for what it is and what it does.

I've written some house-rules for buying second-hand ships with flaws in EotE that I'd like to run past people: On the FFG forums here. Basically, the idea is to allow players to buy ships at a discount with a number of unknown flaws (but the opportunity to identify them)- so parties that want to accelerate their journey up the scale ladder can do it... at a non-monetary cost.

Pimpmust posted:Can't really read that image (even enlarged), but you could consider adding a few "positive" flaws, to balance out the really bad ones. Maybe the PCs get lucky and happen to get a ship that (some part) was really well taken care off/tuned or modded with after-market parts (that might not be obvious to the seller either).
