im getting excited!

 

do have some play by post questions. i have a 3 once per session talents. what are "sessions" in a play by post? is it just until your next experience drop?

 

Also I havent used move much as a attack. if im trying to attack someone with it, right now its just throwing a small object at them, i have to roll a combat dis vs dis check. that much i think i understand. i have a talent that lets me take things out of peoples hands. as this isnt an attack would there be a combat check for minions? i would assume nemesis and rivals for the most part would want this opposed dis vs dis.

The big game hunter has ranks in heavy ranged and nothing in light as his pistol is a light weapon.

Uhh, DtDunn? You're playing a Besalisk, right? The picture is a besalisk, and the write up says besalisk... but the sheet says Xexto.

Also, as an Ataru Striker, I'm somewhere between 99 and 103 percent sure you should have Lightsaber as a career skill.

Just saw the SWSheets doesn't have besalisk. What is this, amature hour?

I am just happy there is a good way to get a basic character sheet up to share, they will likely get the Besalisk in soon.

Thanks for the catch, will update.

You can manually add species of choice if it isn't on the list.

Who are you?

[dtdunn 55]

Thanks, missed that, updated, again.

As for move power it seems to be a Force dice roll (to get pips needed to activate the power)+ a Discipline check vs. The silhouette size as the difficulty. Damage is silhouette x10 (5 damage for silhouette.0).

Many have mentioned making it an opposed check for nemesis opponents.

You have to get both enough force pips to do the move (with the upgrades as needed) and succeed at the Discipline check to hit.

I am sure that others can help clarify further if I got something wrong.

Here's the link to my character

GMRen - can I spend starting credits on lightsaber crystal mods and try to install them as part of character creation?

Looking forward to playing.

If your Agility is good enough it doesn't always matter. My character will be using a light pistol even though the Ranged Light skill is not a career skill for any of the specializations I have. Granted I also intend to buy the gun that turns into a rifle too soooooo YMMV. 

 

Though I did take Big Game Hunter I'm likely to switch it out later this week when I nab my copy of Savage Spirits.

Been reading that thread with the spoilers? Sounds super interesting.

Also, for those who think wilderness survival has no place in Star Wars; I pity your outlooks.

Yeah the Seeker wasn't one of the ones I was excited about when Force and Destiny first came out. Now that I've seen more of it and designed a character for that career I'm starting to like it more and more. It helps that this games themes fit with that career very well.

[killerbeardhawk 457]

any idea when we will all be ready to go? are we still going to have it run at roleplayinggames.net ? 

[GMRen 196]

Nope, we're going to do it here. Thursday is the start.

[dtdunn 55]

Yah!

 

My pre-prequel EU/Legends knowledge is not complete, @GMRen when you have time could you also give a general introduction to the current state of the Star Wars galaxy. ie: Major powers and their influence (Republic, Hutts, corporations, etc), prominence/influence/general view of the jedi, major/recent galactic wars. Doesn't have to be extensive, I just need a framework to help get me out of ABY 1 mindset.

[Comrade Cosmonaut 490]

I've actually never played in a game on the forums here. This will be interesting.

[dtdunn 55]

I believe we are going to use orokos.com for rolls?

 

(this next section is for those who have not used it before)

If you have not used orokos.com before you may want to go take a gander. Basically you end up putting the number of dice you want to roll, then the letter 'e' (for edge of empire I am guessing) then the first letter of the name of the die (a=ability die, etc), then put a '+' then add additional dice you want. 

 

Example: 2 green +1 yellow+1 force die + 2 set back + 1 difficulty +1 red die

2eA+1eP+1eF+2eS+1eC

see actual roll: http://orokos.com/roll/406701

See help section: http://orokos.com/roll/?action=dicehelp

  the letter for each dice are listed there

 

then you can just post the link to your dice in the post. 

 

Does anyone know if it can be integrated to show the results in a post?

[killerbeardhawk 457]

Test initiative: 3eF+2eP+1eA+2eB 3 successes, 3 advantage, 3 Dark Side

 

does this work?

[killerbeardhawk 457]

sure did, after you roll on orokos theres a bbccode that you can copy and paste to add to the forum post

 

GMRen are you going to want rolls done in OOC or in the actual posting?

"ABY" stands for "After the Battle of Yavin," which is right after the end of A New Hope. So if you have any CRB, you have the summary there.

IC please but destiny here

Then I'll need to finalize my credits purchases before I post tomorrow and then I'll just adjust the rest after I get my copy of SS.
