True aim is so broken, I love it : Once per round, before the character makes a ranged attack, he may perform a True Aim maneuver. By performing this maneuver, the character gains all the benefits for aiming and also upgrades his attack roll once per rank of True Aim. With one point it's just the best thing you can do, with two points its insane.

I generally say "what are you gonna do?" and then once they say, "ok gimmie a X check", though most times my players suggest "coerce his rear end!" but they've been around the table a while. One of the more interesting parts of this game is you want tabletalk, to a certain extent, and too much (or too little) can be hard to manage.

Fuzz posted:An elegant weapon for a more refined era... that uses brute strength to determine its usage. What? If they defaulted to agility it would make the stat even more overpowered. As it is, a high AGI character is already best pilot and best shot in a game that has a lot of shooting and piloting.

I can't wrap my head around how squad combat and commanding squads works and how dice pools generate attacks and poo poo like that can someone post an example or anything like that?

No I mean squads and squadrons. I get that you can take a bunch of dudes and form a squadron with a leadership check maneuver, then form them into formations. But when do you use the tables for spending advantage and triumphs in squad combat. On any rolls you make while attached to a squad? When forming and adjusting formations only? Aside from acting as ablative wounds, squads seem really lovely and you're better off with a normal minion group shooting or whatever.

There needs to be a defense bonus for high speed. For example an A wing is fast, but has no armor so it's just as likely to get blown up at speed 1 than at speed 6. The best ships are tanky.

So we had our first game as an all droid party last night. The GM had a solid fifteen pages of prepped material on infiltrating a neb-b and disabling the hyperdrive, lots of subterfuge, combat, etc. So of course, we came in on a shuttle with only two lifesigns on it, had a malfunction where some debris and us were blown from the shuttle due to an accident. Landed on the hull, crawled over to where the hyperdrive is, quickflash'd our way in. Bob's your uncle. It was pretty amazing.

Never forget the usefulness of minions. A big bad, even a huge bad, alone will get focused down very fast. Throw in a half dozen stormtroopers, thugs, whatever, and all of a sudden the big bad has a chance to actually do some stuff, and be threatening. It also gives characters who aren't great at combat something to do, distract, use the environment to take down a trooper, etc.

Working on a character for an IRL game. Considering one of the following: Secretly force sensitive (so secret he doesn't realize) Hutt Entrepreneur who's a little too good at making deals. Togruta Marshall who's too old for this poo poo, only 8 days from retirement, etc. Xexto Charmer who's so slimy and smooth he makes Lando look like the kind of person you'd happily leave your princess with. Thoughts?

Foxtrot_13 posted:The two biggest issues my group has come across is that space combat very much only includes the pilot and it seems to be easier than it should be to fail a simple difficulty dice roll with three dice (but get plenty of advantage). If space combat only makes the pilot feel engaged, you're doing it wrong. When you're stumped, watch the original trilogy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvJDItC6tE0 You've got: Han Piloting Chewie working on the shields Chewie astrogating (and rolling a despair) Han and Chewie fixing things Leia piloting with 3P0 assisting (since neither are that great, they get to play off each other) back to Han and Chewie piloting 3P0 calculating the odds Now add in the fact that you could have guys doing gunnery, guys slicing the enemy systems and jamming electronics, etc. As a GM you can do so many fun things with despairs (and you can be liberal with destiny because it's supposed to be epic). Have cargo break lose and guys have to run back and secure it. Things can break, systems can go down, the enemy can clamp on and try to board, etc. homullus posted:The core rulebook for EotE has rules for trading (markup for distance and tech level basically), based on the sale price of anything that has a price tag in any supplement, as well as values for larger amounts of spice, if that's your thing.

You can boil everything down to "make a die roll on your turn" and the game sucks that way. There's a huge difference between "I shoot at the TIE fighter, [rolls gunnery]" and "I track the TIE and try to keep my shot lined up [rolls gunnery, fails with advantage]. Missing, I yell to the other gunner "You got one coming in low, I missed him but he's shaken up, he's all yours! [allowing the other gunner to make a shot with a boost die]." etc. But yes, if you run boring space combat then space combat is boring.

homullus posted:In a terrestrial gun battle, a gunhaver can look around for a more advantageous position, or a piece of the environment to interact with. If she wants to move, she moves where and when she wants to. I just disagree wholeheartedly. I feel like if a player is ever feeling worthless either they need to do something cool or the GM is being too restrictive. My answer to "space battle are boring" isn't "do less space battles" it's "Make them exciting"

This game is the king of Ok a thing happens...but... If your fight is trivialized, throw a ...but... in there. Especially if that but comes later. So the pilot misses his moment because the hacker one shot the TIE fighters. Sure. The crew lands, does their stuff and takes off right into an Imperial salvage and rescue operation. Time to fly casual.
