SEApocalypse 4,443 Posted January 19, 2017 And concussion rifles woot I love concussion rifles SOOOO much. On the Jedi Knight II map of the Cloud City Gantry, a friend and I would run around with those and frustrate the hell out of the other players (Oh, and we killed each other plenty of times too). Catch the other player on a ledge and WA-WHOOOM hit 'em with a AOE, knocking them off. Spawn, Wawhoom, spawn, WaWaoom, spawn, WaWaoom. Mind you, this wasn't spawn point camping - it was just such a small map that you could hit anywhere from anywhere if you were good enough. We never got the point for killing them this way, but the epic amount of rage that we were able to farm was entertaining beyond words. You! It was YOU!!! Might have been me and my buddy too. Though most of the time force speed and force jump at max and a lightsaber strike was prefered. And MotS brought iirc force push to throw people down the chasm in style. 1 awayputurwpn reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GroggyGolem 2,848 Posted January 21, 2017 The product page mentions rules on broken lightsaber crystals, which is a new piece of information. Wonder what that's gonna be like. 1 Richardbuxton reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GroggyGolem 2,848 Posted January 21, 2017 Or the consequence of sundering a PC's lightsaber? Make it salvageable, and provide a story about it through these mechanics? The rules explicitly state that a Lightsaber cannot be Sundered. The only way to break one without GM-Fu is spending 2 Triumphs on a successful combat check against a person using one. At that point, it's the GM's choice as to whether the crystal survives or not. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blackbird888 4,110 Posted January 22, 2017 Interesting thought: if Arbiter is the specialization with the conflict talent, that would make it the fourth consecutive conflict specialization that has a name to do with some form of law enforcement: Warden, Executioner, Sentry, and Arbiter. I still hope it's Ascetic, but, it's a trend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Decorus 672 Posted January 22, 2017 I'm pretty sure they should rename Arbiter to Inquisitor. 1 Richardbuxton reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shlambate 2,679 Posted January 22, 2017 I'm pretty sure they should rename Arbiter to Inquisitor. Arbiter sounds better and also isn't an enemy type in this game. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richardbuxton 7,319 Posted January 22, 2017 I'm pretty sure they should rename Arbiter to Inquisitor. Arbiter sounds better and also isn't an enemy type in this game. It definitely sounds like the Inquisitors spec, perhaps that will be the Conflict talent.

Lareg 367 Posted January 22, 2017 Inquisitor is a type of adversary in the system. They can't reuse the name or it would lead to endless confusion. 2 Shlambate and GroggyGolem reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daeglan 5,950 Posted January 23, 2017 I'm sorry so what your saying is Bounty Hunter should be renamed, because its an adversary and might lead to endless confusion?

It can be used with Boba or Bossk or IG-88 and any PC BH. The Inquisitor title however had only been used by the Imperial force users tasked to take out Jedi left behind by Vader when he's busy.

Decorus 672 Posted January 23, 2017 So why would a Spec named Inquisitor lead to confusion? I mean obviously having a Career named Bounty Hunter would lead to the same confusion. Or are you just insulting every player of the game by claiming they can't tell the difference between a player character spec and a nemesis? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richardbuxton 7,319 Posted January 23, 2017 Armour you wear and the Armour of a ship are a good example of the devs using whatever fits best. Everyone understands the difference with half a sentence. But I think the reason they wouldn't create a spec called "Inquisitor" is because they go out of their way to avoid names directly tied to Jedi/Sith or Rebellion/Empire. Everything is kept as generic as possible. 5 Donovan Morningfire, The Shy Ion, Kael and 2 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shlambate 2,679 Posted January 23, 2017 Because you'll never have to explain to a bounty Hunter that "Your a Bounty Hunter but not a 'Bounty Hunter'." As would be the case with Inquisitor it is minor but avoiding all confusion when possible makes things flow easier. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kael 1,865 Posted January 23, 2017 It may be the case that despite what we may think the Arbiter actually has nothing to do with what one typically associates with Inquisting. 1 Krieger22 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
