Yay! <3

*gives the Dapper Dog a doggie-biscuit*

EDIT: On that note, after testing a few rolls, I *really* look forward to seeing this in play. The way Failures/Successes work with eachother, and adding Advantage and Threat on top of that to boot... it makes for very interesting storytelling from the dice, rather than just succeed or fail. Even L5R's raises look boring in comparison ("Ok, so my dicepool is x and the TN is y, so I'll call 3 raises since that's my maximum and the odds are in my favor"). :)

Duros and Neimoidians are very tall but gaunt. Duros are a bit taller than Neimoidians. At least that's what Wookieepedia says. But Rumun is a bit taller than the common Duros.

I couldn't find anything specific on the average height of Sith, so I assumed they followed the same as humans.

Shaisha is still a growing girl!

Much rage and unlimited passion; iddy-biddy space.

I've found the Star Wars character generation application that Dapper gave us a link to at one point is quite good at keeping track of my rolls for me.

On the skills page it has all my rolls and boosts (etc.) added and easily visible.

I used that one too to see my dice-pools, then I just wrote in pre-made Orokos-code for my rolls in my PF, along with a cheat-sheet for the dice-symbols and list of dice. :D

Well did a crash test for making a character. I hope that works. Next I need to figure out how these dice work.

Heh, love the bio Grenda.

Eww, Chara transfers are 1000 Cartel Points. Why can't it be the few weeks after June 23rd 2015 when they were only 90!

Probably still gonna move one over (to Shadowlands) and just start mostly fresh, just stealing my Legacy and then move the rest some day~

Which, all of this is relevant cause I needed to grab another pic off of it for my Bio! :D

Amusing bios, all.

Still trying to figure out some of these rules here.

Who fast do you heal Wounds/Strain? Can you die from taking too much strain?

I read somewhere that you roll Force dice to power your Force Abilities but how often do they refresh? What happens if you don't use all the Force points available like 2 Dark Side + 1 Light Side and you only have Light Side point left?

Beta Rulebook says, a full night’s rest makes the character recover 1 wound, regardless of the character’s current state of health. Other than that you need medical attention.

Strain is a bit easier, a full night's rest restores all of it. But it also mentions eating, resting, etc. as being ways of getting Strain back.

And it doesn't say you can die from Strain, but you do become incapacitated if you run out. Which then can lead to death.

Wound healing was covered. STrain is healed by a night's rest or a significant rest/scene change. Or by rolling Cool (zero difficulty) at the end of an 'encounter' (usually combat but GM can designate a social event an encounter as well). Each success rolled on the Cool check returns 1 Strain. Or . . . you can regain a point of strain with an advantage on any 'required' roll.

If you exceed your Strain threshold then you faint/collapse/become useless. Strain taken after that becomes wounds iirc. Exceeding your Wound Threshold doesn't kill you either, you become incapacitated and any further wounds cause critical injuries, until you go off the end of the critical table and die.

It doesn't refresh. You use a power, you roll your uncommitted Force Rating dice. Whatever it rolls you must use immediately on the force power you are activating. Anything unused is lost forever. Next round you use another power, so you roll again for a completely new result.

As we will almost certainly all start with Force Rating 1, we'll only be using one die anyway, and if we commit that (if your powers or talents let you) then we'll have no dice to roll, so no Force until we end the ongoing power.

You can also regain strain in combat as well. You can spend a rolled advantage result to regain a strain.

/points at the 'required' roll bit in her post.

I said that :P

Just you can't 'manufacture' an unnecessary roll with the aim of trying to get strain back on it. The roll has to 'count'.

I'm pretty excited to play a game with a system I know so little about :lol:

Seems really fun though, and bajillions of options :shock: I look forward to inflicting my Sith bro on the masses ;)

Some of us have studied arts that channel the forces of life and death as well.

You know, just as an FYI.

Yeah, no system mastery of this game, but it looks really interesting. :) I'm very excited to try it out (and flail about helplessly because I made a crap character :lol: ).

I'm pretty sure the first time I'm going to have to roll anything I'll just stare at the screen in wide-eyed horror, followed by lots of fumbling and "Uhm... err... what do?"
