Arctanaar got a reaction from SacredRebirth in How do I make a Miraluka?
That's noticeably stronger than is usual for the game. Not too significantly, but still, it's 3 ranks in skills, as well as a 2/2/2/2/3/2 statline with 90 XP, as opposed to 80 XP (110-30 = 80).
The drawbacks and benefits are weird. Force sense seems to be either useless or very strong, depending on campaign and how it interacts with non-FS characters. Physically blind weakens long-range combatants significantly, while pistol-users are a lot less affected. NFotDS penalises starting Force users significantly, while not affecting higher FR characters as much. Furthermore, it makes DS Miraluka very weak, as they have to suffer strain any time they have to use the Force.
As such, the species has some fairly good qualities, but the species' drawbacks either don't affect the character at all (melee/brawl characters, socially oriented characters), give slight penalties (characters who specialise in using pistols, high-FR lightsiders), make a character noticeably weaker than average (characters who usually engage at Long or Extreme range), or make actually using your specialisation's abilities hard, let alone using them effectively (darksiders), depending on the build. This is in contrast to (most) other species, that balance their strengths with their inability to be better at some tasks than Humans, as well as being constrained in their choice of talents and/or only having one bonus skill rank (as opposed to Humans' two), and not by penalising specific role choices, as done with this version of Miraluka.

Sorry for disappearing, my life got quite a bit busier.
As for the answer to Revanchist's question, if it was spent on a boost die, it probably should not be applicable to your current check, unless it involves getting through the resistances. In that case, I would vote to just roll it separately and see if we get any advantages to spend on changing the environment a bit.

I will be unable to be active here much due to tomorrow's colloquium, but the idea is that we play without a GM for a while, with everyone making suggestions/decisions in place of one, using an RNG to help solve disagreements.

While we are in this limbo, we could try organising in a more anarchic fashion to finish the scene if everybody agrees.

Definitely on hiatus, but a game that still holds interest for me and I hope all of you. I’m having to be very careful with my time now, if I try to do too much then nothing gets done, real life is extremely busy. I’m sorry I haven’t been able to fit time in for you guys.

Ugh so sorry folks. I am back. Ok, so if I want to use Harm on the beast I am currently engaged with, how will the boost from Bull affect me roll.

Hey if we get going between Hurricane Irma and when I get power again, I'll be gone for that long. Hopefully the eye of the storm stays off coast.

Alright. Crazy week at work. So if I'm reading everything correctly I'm currently engaged with one of the Vrblther rivals right? If so, is it the one I already hit?
-
Arctanaar got a reaction from Richardbuxton in Star Wars: In The Pits OOC
Oh, right, I forgot about that requirement for passing out. I want to spend a DP to score 2 additional hits, then.

Manoeuvre: stand up.
I suffer 2 strain to get a 2nd manoeuvre.
2nd Manoeuvre: disengage.
Action: I shoot at my attackers.
Shooting at the assailants: 2eA+2eP+2eF+1eD+3eS 1 success, 3 advantage, 3 Light Side
**** it, can't spend a DP on the pips without fainting.
And should I roll against getting hit by walls? Assuming that I do, I wish to spend a DP to score 3 additional hits at the group that attacks me. Otherwise, I think that I will only be scoring one hit. (Each hit deals 11 wounds.)
Raising strain to 11 before this matter clears up.

I'm sorry. Was busy until now, but I am presently at 5% battery. Wil have to post a bit later.

Arctanaar got a reaction from Richardbuxton in Star Wars: In The Pits OOC
I will. I have been on a train for the past 35 hours. Will likely make a post in about 12 hours.
