The "Enlighten Me, Master!" Newbie's Lounge...

So, what's the point of deactivating your opponents lightsaber when he can just turn it right back on? Pretty sure thats a free action. Or, does it actually require your opponent to repair their lightsaber before they can use it again?

If you don't tell them why their lightsaber went down, then it's also likely to have an effect on your players confidence. In the Jedi Council: Acts of War comic, the guys using cortosis shields commented that it worked best because it took a Jedi by surprise. If Jedi Guardian #1 hits someone successfully, and the GM goes; "Your lightsaber shuts down", they're going to automatically think "Crit fail" over cortosis shield; as cortosis is rare.
Certainly, in that comic, the Jedi could reactivate it, but it may be enough to put the players off and change the combat dynamic. You basically strip them of their "upper hand." I did something similar in WEG - a player's power cell in their blaster was empty, and they'd been swimming to get somewhere. They figured they'd shorted the blaster out and lost their focus.

I use a pretty simple mechanism : when the blade shuts down in such a way the character who has just seen his blade shut is in the middle of an attack move and unarmed, so he draws an attack of opportunity.

 

Oh, man, that's cool. Nasty, but cool. Now, if only my GM would stay away from this forum...

PS - Good to see you here Lordban

 

Thanks ! Nice seeing you here too !
I've been away from this place from a little too long, I guess.

Having any problems with your GM, E_S ?

 

Not at all; but he's on the boards, and I'm hoping to go Jedi Guardian ASAP. If you're reading, Keith, uh, "hi!"

I like that - cortosis shuts a saber down, (and the GM doesn't actually have to tell his PC's does he ) AND provokes an attack of opportunity! Phwoar! That IS nasty...

Does anyone know of a place where I can find a list of SW planets and their basic descriptions? Maybe there's a book for that, I dunno. Thanks,

There were SEVERAL planet guides from the d6 system -- as well as planets rolled into the various sourcebooks and galaxy guides. In addition, the Unofficial Encyclopedia and the Star Wars Encyclopedia both contain "real-world" data on planets and their species/ecologies without having RPG-specific info if you are looking for that.

 

Need a little help guys pls. ? The GM gave us a Feat.bonus and i was kinda wondering if anyone can help suggest one for untrained Force sensitive rebel soldier Character on a Ep.2 Trilogy setting 'coz i kinda got me in a bit of a mess and was bout to Force grip a opponent but wasn't allowed.

The feat you need to use Force Grip is Alter, you can use Force Grip untrained with that feat, though you'd better have a nice Int score and a nice number of DSP if you want it to have any sort of effectiveness while untrained. Anyways, you'll have to discuss with your GM and ask him to authorize you to pick the Alter feat as a bonus feat, since unless you've got at least 1st level in a Force-using class, you can't pick that feat.
Maybe it's time for a little change of career

 

Ok, Thanks LordBan for the info and will try to contact my GM about this but to make it clear the character i'm talking about is a..

Rank: Ensign {junior grade}
Class / Level:Scoundrel/3

That is in the Old rule book and haven't been able to convert it to the New rule book for i'm still unclear how and if when it'll be in effect in our RPG.
And know some will say it'll be a bad idea to do so but it's in line with his past.

Umm...can anybody tell me how who i can ask to unlock my fanfic 'coz i know i haven't been able to post for sometime and would like to continue the story but it had been locked.

Kyle Kincade

 

Ask the mod from the FanFic forum to unlock it.

 

And what's wrong with having a few drinks while you discuss the RPG?

*grabs a drink*

Kyle Kincade

 

Usually the boards have links to the mods in the header.

Well ok, i have two things to ask...

#1. I'm thinking of buying Starships Of The Galaxy Sourcebook, but i really wanna know what it actually contains, so can someone please read out the "this sourcebook features ... " and all that on the back of the book, i would really appreciate that.

#2. I just finished reading NJO:Traitor, and i was wondering, do u think that theres any way in which the raw force changes the way that the dark side works (i know that theres a verson of vergere, where she gains no dark side points because she is knowledgeable about the raw force) does anyone have any idea on how this might affect the force stats in the game?
