    More Omamori...cool
    Kisshoten - Fertility and Beauty
    Add a  skill die set to Success Opportunity when making a Performance or Charm skill check to those who would be considered attracted to your beauty.
    Also the GM could use a Modifier to conception if such things come into play. I use 2-3 sessions represent a year in game, so that conception modifier is a strong ability.

    Sith Interceptor reacted to Tonbo Karasu in Omamori   
    It occurred to me that we were lacking charms of 5 of the Eight Great Fortunes and I decided to write up what I would do about it.  All of the effects below are triggered 1/session by spending a Void Point
    Daikoku - Wealth
    Add a Skill die set to Success Opportunity when making a Commerce roll [Maybe OP?]
    Ebisu - Honest Work
    Add a Ring die set to Success when rolling Labour, Seafaring or Survival
    Hotei - Contentment
    Remove Strife equal to your Void Ring
    Jurojin - Longevity
    Remove the dying Condition
    Kisshoten - Fertility and Beauty
    I have no idea how to do the mechanics for this, but I would suggest that it makes conception more likely

    Sith Interceptor reacted to Black_Rabbit_Inle in How big is a wolf?   
    ..practically meaningless.
    As I was researching the answer to your question, I actually found out that Japan had two types of wolves during the feudal era.  One type only got up to about 25 lbs., meaning that it should probably have a silhouette 1.  The other type seems to have gotten to 100lbs or maybe slightly over, which would make it silhouette 2.  Rokugan isn't japan, but it could be possible for both answers to be true in Rokugan as it would have been in japan.
      I would also say that the average rokugani would probably consider a dog of 25 lbs. to be "large", even though it's still silhouette 1.  I strongly suspect that the Rokugani barely consider wolves to be dogs..  and Moto war-dogs are probably hated by other clans as well, which may lead to a general rokugani belief that the bigger (silhouette 2) breeds of dogs are not actually dogs, but are instead beasts.  In this way, the difference in the silhouettes listed might be a matter of perspective.

    Here's another short scenario that takes the PCs to Yavin, to explore a Massassi pyramid that holds a strange puzzle, and introduces an ongoing enemy for them.

    Sith Interceptor reacted to T_Kageyasu in Are words stronger?   
    I completely agree that if skirmishes can result in maiming dismemberment on either side, social conflict shouldn't be biased toward only convincing NPCs. The specter of public opinion should not be understated here, and maybe going along with what Magnus said, losing an intrigue should be put in the context of "you can't counter this argument and everyone else knows it (even if you the PC doesn't want to) at the risk of appearing indignant and losing meaningful social status" which should be defined upfront.
    In principle, words actually stronger than steel only come into play when it's dramatically interesting, like an argument turning into a duel, or failure resulting in seppuku, retirement, or demotion.. I'm almost envisioning a social critical hit table here where deadliness is based on the winners social rank, net difference of momentum points at the conclusion, and resisting with a culture check.

    According to Wookiepedia TIE/LN comes into service 18 BBY - concerning wether or not other Starfighters are still in use: its very likely.

    It gives the same year for A-Wings - deployed by the Alliance in combat.

    Sith Interceptor reacted to Yaccarus in The Complete Species Guide   
    The Complete Species Guide v5 is finally out! As usual everything is in the Google Drive Folder, (which has been rearranged slightly) including the individual pages, the PDF version, and the OggDude's Dataset. The Fancy Graphics version is on hold for now, as I'm still waiting for a response from thedearth2. For those who haven't been keeping up with the changes on the individual pages, v5 features 110 new species and is the first version to feature Canon species. Other highlights include featuring every species from the Ultimate Alien Anthology, New Essential Guide to Alien Species, and the Ultimate Species Menagerie.
    As we look to the future, I intend to begin working on v6 in the next few days. v5 is a checkpoint to update the PDFs and Dataset, but it will not be the end. I regret that v5 took so long, and I intend to make future updates smaller but more frequent. The best is still yet to come, and I have big plans for this resource beyond today. Enjoy and stay tuned.

    Sith Interceptor reacted to P-47 Thunderbolt in Vehicles vs PCs   
    I believe that was mentioned in the books.
    I don't, actually. What I do is add the remaining personal-scale damage after doubling their WT.
    I.e. character with 4 soak and a WT of 12 gets hit by a Heavy Turbolaser (plenty of Breach) with 1 Success (120 damage). Subtract 24 from 120 and you get 96, so i add 96 to the roll.
    Whereas with an Autocannon in the same situation, same roll (40 damage): 40-4=36 36-24=12 so you add 12 to the result.
    The thing is, I don't use Planetary-scale weapons against my PCs very often (especially the heavier stuff), so I don't have a lot of data to share with you.

    Sith Interceptor reacted to P-47 Thunderbolt in Yet another Autofire thread...   
    RAW increases the difficulty by one. I don't think you should upgrade, as that can end up doing more to increase the difficulty that a single purple (Average difficulty+3 targets is Hard upgraded twice).
    I think the best thing to do would be to simply add the Ammo Hog quality and add the qualification about declaring targets up to ranks.
  12. Thanks
    Sith Interceptor reacted to Sturn in Yet another Autofire thread...   
    Ammo Hog is a quality I made up a long while ago. It's simply a copy of the special notes for the Heavy Blaster Pistol into a quality. In my opinion it should have been a quality from the start instead of having to look up the description of the Heavy Blaster Pistol for what it does.
    Ammo Hog is an active quality that allows not only 1 Despair (like normal) but 3 Threats to make a weapon run out of ammo. The HBP has it and I add the quality to when anyone goes full auto in a roll.
    It doesn't mean I immediately use 3 Threat on their first auto-fire roll to make them run out of ammo. But if they've been using auto-fire for a few rounds, it's quickly becoming my top choice if 3 are rolled.
  13. Thanks
    Sith Interceptor reacted to P-47 Thunderbolt in Yet another Autofire thread...   
    I prefer RAW to this (aside from the limitation on Jury Rigged), but it looks decent. As for Ammo Hog, clarification on how much Threat?
    The only real issue I see is upgrading the difficulty of the check, because the increased difficulty for Auto-fire is enough as is. Any more and it gets too difficult* in my opinion, especially when you factor in talents like Adversary.
    *A big component of "too difficult" is the high chance for Despair.

    It's a quick and easy rule, but it's also a terrible one.
    The films, cartoons, and the Mandalorian show that personal weapons can hurt some vehicles, even ones the game gives armor 2 or 3. That's really not a possibility in the game barring some weird min-max loophole-exploiting examples.

    Sith Interceptor reacted to Sturn in Ship & Fighter Timeline   
    Here's a quote I found from Joe Johnston referring to the rebel starfighters. Johnston was an early effects and concept artist for Star Wars. I found it in the annotated screenplays as notes during the dogfights above the Death Star, but I don't know the original source. It seems to go in line with what I recall being reading in the 1977 magazine:
    Reading something similar to this back in 1977 is why I was always against the legends notion that the X-wing was a brand new prototype just before Yavin. Heck, just google the images of the X-wing's during the Battle of Yavin and it's obvious George had his way in making them look old and used.

    Yes fun game, but I think it from a comic originally before EaW. Due to the age we see on the X-wings they couldn't have been prototypes in 1 bby. Guesswork from what sources are available. Tie Line Fighters, I have them rolling out late in 14 bby.  I like that the project was mothballed but brought back so for as Incoms X-wing Im thinking maybe rolls out in 4-6 bby around the time rebellion was at the Empires doorstep with the Alliance beginning to acquire them in 1 bby from many sources with intention to mass produce the T65b.

    That's a legends story and as far as I know there isnt a cannon story of when or how the rebbelion got there hands on them yet. All we no is that prior to the last half of season 4 of rebels they never use x-wings then suddenly hera shows up in an episode flying/leading a squadron of x-wings.

    Sith Interceptor got a reaction from GM Fred in So... Reconciling some plot holes. ***SPOILERS***   
    How about?
    Security
    The base is being operated in a most unprofessional manner. The listening posts one job to stay hidden while listening in on the Admiral has made the  Guards inattentive, LT Sarev is a pushover with his soldiers. just some of the Data that can be found by the infiltrators searching the Offices. 
    Entry
    I had the PCs be working with other teams one would hit the outside com line and would be the diversion for the rebels to sneak into the "car port". With a difficulty check. Other rebel/resistance teams ensuring the patrol that left to investigate the com line  wouldn't be returning. 
    Infiltration
    The camera/monitor security guys are playing a game of sabbac for Obi's sake when the Rebel Infiltrators walk in stunning them, most of the camera or all of them may be offline, most of the base is so new that most of the security isn't fully operational yet and these matter are complicated as the GM permits further when the com line and main power generator are sabotaged by your rebels. 
    Giant Plot Hole
    Later when the base is fully operational they can overhear the Admirals report that Dardano has moving on the listening outpost.

    Well here it is again then.
    Falling/Collisions
    Speed 1-2/Short: Dmg 10/Strain 10
    Speed 3-4/Medium: Dmg 30/Strain 20
    Speed 5-6/Long: All WP (Incapcitated)/Strain 30/Critical Injury +50
    Extreme: All WP Incapcitated/Strain 40/Critical Injury +75
    Collisions
    1. Characters that are strapped in reduce Range category by 1. Everyone else gets a Coordinate Check. Avg. Difficulty each success reduces 1 Wound and each Advantage 1 Strain. Triumph reduces the Range Category.
    2. When the ship impacts follow these rules for Collision
    Minor Collision: Roll a Starship Critical and subtract any ship defense x10, with a minimum result of 01. If the Ship suffers a Critical. The Crew and Passengers also suffer Critical Injury and subtract any ship defense x10, With a minimum result of 01.
    Major Collision: as above except ship defense x5.
    A Major Collision is a Collision with no active Ship Shields or a Head on Collision with a solid object at Speed 5-6.
    Crash Landing
    If the Pilot would have time to Land the Ship before impact, they can make a Pilot ship check Simple-, unless circumstance dictate a more difficult landing. Each success reduces 1 Wound/Pilot Rank and each Advantage 1 Strain/Pilot Rank to self and all passengers. Triumph reduces the Range Category before modifiers.
