Bounty Hunter ship needed (ideas?)
HappyDaze replied to angelman2's topic in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG
The 4R3 looks like an inconspicuous light freighter. Unfortunately, it's so mundane in appearance that FFG never bothered to depict it. Sorry. -
Considering the title of this post, DON'T DO THIS IN PUBLIC!

Whats the use of a high piloting skill?
HappyDaze replied to player5767340's topic in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG
Don't forget "chasing after things" because you're not always the prey; sometimes you get to play the hunter. -

HappyDaze replied to tank0625's topic in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG
Isn't Edge a European company? Aren't European social media laws (which I believe cover forums) a bit trickier than the same in the USA, including increased liability for the company for anything posted on them? My knowledge of this is pretty limited, but I believe I heard this said when other European companies were shutting down their forums. -
Bounty Hunter ship needed (ideas?)
HappyDaze replied to angelman2's topic in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG
Most of the ships I would recommend have a crew requirement of 2-5. Consider giving him some regular henchmen--if he's a Guild hunter they can be apprentice & journeymen hunters. That said, the 4R3 from Dangerous Covenants is a great toy. It's intended as a Q-ship that masquerades as an unarmed light freighter then turns the tables on pirates. This lets a bounty hunter play it low key until ready to strike. It has hidden weaponry and a boarding tube (you could add the tractor beam) but couldn't hold an X-wing internally. It does have the option of holding up to 16 passengers (troops for boarding actions) and takes a crew of 5. -
Whats the use of a high piloting skill?
HappyDaze replied to player5767340's topic in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG
Piloting is more useful for chases than straight-up vehiclular combat. IME, most vehicle scenes in this game revolve around winning a chase (to catch someone or avoid being caught). When it comes to straight-up vehicular combat, Piloting skill gets as much use as blocking does in a Rocky movie (i.e., barely any), so do what Rocky does and just keep swinging as hard as you can for as long as you can while taking what the other guy throws right on your face. -
That would make far more sense to me too, as long as the ISB had some way of exerting leverage (hostages, an implanted bomb, etc.) to ensure the loyalty of their new undercover operative.

Building a Character “Wrong”.
HappyDaze replied to Tramp Graphics's topic in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG
Even for the combat monsters (and pilot-type combat monsters), there's a need for other Characteristics. Brawn/Resilience never gets priority--until someone racks up some stubborn critical injuries. Cunning/Perception, Willpower/Discipline, Willpower/Vigilance, and Presence/Cool are all useful too. I've no problem with the high-Agility characters because they always tend to lack in other important areas. -
Sure, he can seek revenge, but my verisimilitude gets trashed if the ISB suddenly decide to provide material assistance to an untrustworthy rando on a revenge kick. More likely, vengeful guy can provide the ISB with information that they can act upon with their own reliable assets.

Planets, planets, and more planets
HappyDaze replied to Nytwyng's topic in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG
Wait, does it describe the exploitative working conditions of the park employees or how they can barely afford to live & work in the areas outside of the parks? -
Or, you simply don't. It's often better to just let a former PC fade away than to artificially inflate their importance to transform them into being a villain.

If you have any notes on those fixes that you could share, I'd welcome a PM. -

Um...4e? I know they covered 3e here, but I'm looking for something covering C7's 4e line. -
Imperial discrimination
HappyDaze replied to welldressedgent's topic in Star Wars: Age of Rebellion RPG
Oddly enough, I preferred them as being linked to specific organizations/roles. Admittedly, I do use Recruit to represent recruits to Alliance Special Operations, not just any part of the Rebel Alliance (so not everyone recruited by the Alliance is likely to be a Recruit). -
Hi Donovan, been awhile since I've seen your posts! I'd like to add that most people don't object to Autofire hitting multiple targets; they object to it hitting one target over and over with a single (usually Jury Rigged) attack while not hitting any friendlies nearby.

What does this former PC have to offer to the ISB? How can the ISB trust him? Has the character secretly been working for the ISB all along? If not, why would they give him a ship and not instead just squeeze every drop of useful information out of him before leaving his rotting in a cell?

AS someone that would like to give WFRP 4e a try but feels the same way about the rules, did you ever find a good site for it? Can you post a link? -
I only allow Force dice to give the user away when they are rolled or committed. Force abilities that do neither (like the Boosts granted by Uncanny Senses) usually don't register.

Double Bladed Lightsaber

I can't wait for Luke's aunt and uncle to return from the dead. -
There are also some jetpacks in Collapse of the Republic, including a Mando jetpack.

I would be surprised if Edge opens forums. FFG isn't just closing their RPG forums, they are closing all of their forums--including for ongoing FFG games like X-wing. This is a trend I've seen among a lot of game companies in recent years, and I would be truly surprised if Edge doesn't follow it by not opening public forums, especially as they are owned by the same parent entity as FFG. -
So, as these forums are officially slated for execution, I have decided to purge all of the names from my Ignore list. It served me well for many years, but for the next few months, I'll take the moment to look at the posts of everyone, even if only for a little while...

Just saw that these forums are slated for execution 2/1/21. Oh well... -

Was it just me, or did the Beskar spear seem a lot longer when Mando held it compared to when it was on his back? -
Imperial Transport possibilities?
HappyDaze replied to Nytwyng's topic in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG
Sounds like an Acclamator-class Assault Ship. You see them in Episode 2, and a little in Clone Wars. It's a little smaller than a Victory and holds the number of troops you need.
