The Dark Academy on Korriban

100 credits fora gown, still no happy hut, the rest is fine.

Will there be a Q and A thread for the PCs?

Sure why not.

So, for now is the plan that next game new characters will have 65 more experience than we did, but miss out on the 15 XP from the end of game bonus?

That is the plan.

Having seen the number of tree to face incidents on the rise (ouch Rem), can thrown and force-moved objects be parried?

It's a ranged attack so reflect would be the talent.

Gotcha, thanks

When can I lightsaber slash and jump through things like Malgus?

*Buys all of the Reflect*

I need more Reflect. All of it to reflect trees. >.>

Can we just make a note in our equipment threads for any purchases before Nar Shadda or do you want us to role that out in threads once Nar Shadda starts?

Nar Shaddaa is a while away, is there something you need right now?

Just out of interest what is the dice pool used for ranged attacks with the Move power? Am I right in thinking that those sorts of things fall under Discipline? Discipline gets mentioned in a few places as being used for force power checks, but nothing is specified in the Move description other than making 'a Force power check and rolling a ranged attack as part of the pool'.

So I guess it could be ranged light or heavy, but those seem more to do with pistols, grenades, rifle, etc.

Cheers

Discipline with the difficulty equal to the size of the object's silhouette to a minimum of 1. So a silhouette 3 object is a Discipline roll versus hard difficulty plus any defensive modifiers the target has. You still need the range upgrade to hit a target at long range and all that.

Discipline is the go to skill for Force power combat, keep in mind you need enough force points to make the roll too. So moving a Silhouette 3 object to Medium range is 3 force points, 1 to activate, 1 to increase silhouette, 1 to increase range.

Trying to find the rules for it but where is the size of items covered under silhouette to be found?

No, nothing pressing. I was just wondering since you mentioned for us to update our equipment threads.

In general Silhouette 0 is things that can be carried by humanoids easily like a table or small rocks. Silhouette 1 is humanoid sized like humans... and so on see link: http://blog.cobaltkobold.com/2014/08/st ... guide.html

Okay... it's going to take a while to get up to silhouette 10 but that is the goal.

So, when you pay XP to gain a new Specialization...

1. Can you still buy Talents in your previous Specialization?
2. Do you get access to the skills of the new Specialization at the lowered cost?

You can buy talents from all specializations you purchase, and you get the skills at the lower price for your career and all specializations.

Is there a rough, non-definitive list of which books would be allowed for Nar Shadda? Just out of curiosity, but I understand if you don't want to comment for now

Give me time to look, at a minimum, Age of Rebellion, Edge of the Empire, and Force and Destiny.
