The Dark Academy on Korriban

It is a pool of points, one for me and one for the players.

This is correct.

Would it be fitting to have a Pool-thread for each session then, so players can sometimes discuss whether or not to use Destiny?

Destiny Points is very geared towards a team-effort to make the most interesting story for everyone, so it would be nice to be able to talk about it and not just suddenly have people pulling points out of the Pool.

That is totally fine.

I'm probably not looking in the right place in the book, but how does a player increase Force Rating?

It is a talent in the trees. Some of the trees do not have it as a bump. Some have two. None of the ligthsaber form Specializations get a Force Rating bump.

Talent, I do not believe any of the Lightsaber form specs have Force rating increase.

This is true.

Niman get a Force rating boost, but none of the others (from a quick scan of the trees).

Will we be given practice sabers for Welcome to Korriban (so we can use Lightsaber as our combat-skill)... or we don't need one?

Regarding equipment usable for survival/traversing wilderness: Would Concealing Robes count for Stealth, and would Climbing Gear affect Survival or Athletics?

How would the upgraded difficulty (from Dark Side Destiny Point) affect rolls when working together?

Sorry for all the questions!

if a person with an upgraded roll is in that group then at least one roll should be upgraded even if they do not do it.

That is fine most of you should get a boost die from equipment.

Rona does not give you practice sabers, you could die out there. It would be a waste.

So lightsaber isn't a usable skill? Thorne seems to have used it.

She has an ancient sword.

We need to sleep for 3 or 4 time slots to avoid setback dice?

CAn we an EM thread still on the shuttle? At the Space Port perhaps, while we're still landing or something?

Three time slots.

Not much time it's spent getting you to the shuttle and such.

Can we roll Cool after getting back to the academy to reduce strain?

Sure that is allowable.

Sweet. Also, for the Test your Might event, would Brass Knuckles give any effect?

It will make you look tough but no.

Can I downgrade the bad die with despair die on it back to regular difficulty die with Destiny Point or this is not how it works?

Do boost and setback dice cancel each other out before rolling or I roll both pools?

You can cancel out the Upgrade with a Destiny, and you roll all setback and boost dice.

I thought I saw it listed somewhere, but I must be blind...

How many timeslots are needed for sleep?

Three consecutive slots.

Technically, shouldn't it be:

GM destiny upgrades a difficulty die and player destiny upgrades an ability die?

Meaning you still have the red, but you also get a yellow, giving you a chance at both despair and triumph?

I did a search and could not find a firm answer so for now you can use a Destiny to downgrade an upgraded roll if you so choose.

It's your Destiny.
