What would you use as the primary skill: Cool (keeping your head on straight in a frantic auction), Discipline (resisting the impulse to spend too much), or Negotiation (spotting a good deal)? Whatever you choose, remember that the players will inevitably attempt to murder the rest of the bidders and/or just steal everything before the auction actually happens.

Galaga Galaxian posted:Yeah, it was taking ages for Qui-Gon to cut into that heavily armored door to the bridge in Phantom Menace, plenty of time for the bad guys to send reinforcements and drive them off. Hell, that wasn't even a particularly heavily armoured door, either. Until they closed the blast doors. Which were not cortosis, but still stopped the lightsaber pretty drat good.

homullus posted:We always rolled at the start of the session to see who was getting shafted. We were bad about working it into the narrative and so usually we just called it stress from worrying about [Obligation source]. This is pretty much what we do. Occasionally we'll manage to tie it in during the session, but for the most part it exists as a general "X feels bad about Y thing, and being around X is making you all a bit jumpy". Our Duty works the same way, but in reverse.

Foxtrot_13 posted:Any good ideas for off the wall suggestions? Money is less of an object as I am the GM and he has built up some capital with the Hutts and Rebels that he can trade in. I'm partial to the Wayfarer. Only costs a bit more than a YT-1300, but has about 700 more encumbrance. Ugly as sin and won't be winning a lot of fights, but if you just want to move poo poo around, it's pretty good. Also, you can ditch the whole cargo section if you need to.

Judgement posted:There are stats for the little skiffs like the one Luke and Han were walking the plank from, in the Colonists book. It's the Ubrikkian SuperHaul Model II. 2 speed, 2 silhouette, -1 handling, room for one pilot and eight passengers or a load of cargo. I think the big Sail Barge is in the Nal Hutta sourcebook, so I don't have any stats on that one. Acutally the ones in ROTJ were Bantha-IIs, which are silhouette 2, speed 3, handling 0, 16 passengers or 250 cargo. And yes, the yacht is in Lords of Nal Hutta.

I need someone to out-rear end in a top hat my players. Someone that will make the audience (me, really) root for the players over them. Might I suggest the friendly agents of the Imperial Inquisition? Tough, hateable, and unlikely to be cowed by mere blasters. Also lightsabers. And Force powers.

Fuzz posted:You have this backward, the EotE saber is way better than the basic F&D one. For reference, the EotE saber has 10 damage, crit 1, breach, sunder, and vicious 2. F&D basic (unmodded Ilum crystal) has 6 damage, crit 2, and breach. F&D can be modded to be almost as nasty, but that takes time and credits.

I kinda wish my group had the chance for that mindset. Every time the bucketheads show up for us, someone gets royally hosed up. Like the time our melee monster got delimbed by a basic-rear end Stormtrooper. With a knife. We kidnapped that guy and turned him over to our intelligence contact, because holy poo poo.

Actually, speaking from personal experience, gently caress Enhance, get up to 2 FR and go hard down the left side of Sense. Two upgrades on all your attacks, plus two upgrades against the first two attacks you take every round.

Harkano posted:So my Dark Jedi was no longer allowed to make any actions/attacks. Did I just get unlucky with the players rolling so high on the crit tables? Seems like what should have been a terrifying encounter ended up a little bit of a damp squib. Luckily one of the party got knocked out by a reflected blaster bolt on another character's despair for a shot, and rolled something nice and low on the crit table, and most of the character were low on health, but I was honestly expecting them to have to flee from this, instead the Jedi had to flee, and it'll work out fine for the plot overall. I don't want them to get the impression they can beat Darth Vader with a few lucky crits. That does sound like it's just the dice being dice. However, that wouldn't happen against Vader, no matter how well they rolled, because you're the GM and if you don't want Vader to get chumped like that, he doesn't get chumped like that. It might look like he does, at least long enough for the players to get out of there, but if you don't want him dead, he ain't dead. Also, your players will never run from things they should obviously be running from. Path of most resistance and all that.

You could always go with Onderon. Inner rim, but if it's not a city it's thick-as-hell jungle, and there aren't many cities. Also where Saw Gerrera is from, so spy game is pretty big.

TheDiceMustRoll posted:I honestly hate the separatists post Episode 1. I actually thought, and the movie sort of implies this, that the robots aren't very intelligent and quite limited, and they're actually just controlled from afar. I thought it was genuinely terrifying to have robots that you could just dump by the millions onto the battlefield. Of course, "sneak past the droids to kill the neckbeard playing Starcraft" isn't very interesting, so now we have droid admirals, and the droids can get scared and stuff...it's just so much of a missed opportunity. On the other hand, tying your entire army to a single point of failure is really loving dumb.

As far as I'm aware the Utility Belt item just gives you one extra encumbrance.

Another thing to watch out for, at least in my group's experience, is the Sense power. It's relatively cheap for what it does, which is either read the minds of up to four people simultaneously at long range or give you two free upgrades to the first two attacks made against you every round, plus a single upgrade to your own attack every round, for the low cost of being FR 2 and committing your Force dice. If you give a Guardian an inch, expect them to take the lightyear.

Could always pull a Shadow Broker and just like... not tell anyone downstream that there's been a change in management. Probably be harder than in that case since there's probably more face-to-face dealings, but if you've got a good enough liar anything's possible.

One of my players is looking to play a droid that was Order property before the Clone Wars and had been used for lightsaber training for Padawans. I suppose he could simply take one of the FaD specs with the understanding that the Force talents and Rating are useless to him, but that seems anti-fun. Legends has Force Sensitive droids, gently caress it.

Servetus posted:A Toydarian Marauder with a Vibro-axe kicks rear end by the way. Sure you can't be as brawny as a Wookiee or a human at Character Generation, but rough terrain doesn't slow you down so you will get into melee faster than anyone else. And Dedication, Talents, and Skills level the playing field between the Wookiee and the Toydarian pretty quickly. I refuse to do the accent though. This was one of my group's antagonists a while back, except he had two vibroaxes. I don't think we ever actually fought him, but we all knew he'd have kicked our asses.
