GM Questions

[Meiyokashi]

Is is possible to break down gear for raw materials for a portion of their cost with Mechanics, kind of like how you would resell with negotiation?

Theoretically, yes? But to turn that into credits someone would likely still have to buy it. As well you'd need to have the means to break down the gear.

There isn't a prepared system for it so we'd have to chat on the specific item/gear.

[Meiyokashi]

What's the difficulty for repairing the broken comlink that Raven, Manny, and Varina found on the dead Ithorian? (and how much time/resources will it take?)


Is the bloodstained book beyond salvaging, or is there like... local experts that can restore it to some degree?

And thirdly, the data-thing that Sofia found. What is it exactly? Jyrvess will be getting to look at it in this scene.

Average mechanics check with 25 credits worth of materials.

To your eyes it's probably unsalvageable but a good and proper expert could probably make something out of it. Would have to do some searching/asking around to find someone.

Will get to the scene shortly! Generally though it's essentially like a small portable hard drive.

May have been answered already; but do we get to buy anything with our money during the interrim? Also, do we maybe get to make a crafting check?

[The SCaT Droid]

So about the whole "there will be patrols thing", does that include doing checks in the comfort of your own home, say by a droid doing maintenance checks

[Dr. Aanli Ven]

Do we have a minimum rarity for shopping rolls? Specifically looking at reinforced environment gear, rarity 4.

[Solork Tan]

What would happen to a Droid attempting to enter the Deep Swamp? Would there be no response from the environment because Droids aren't affected by mental applications, or would they simply get turned around?

No on the check, but yea you can buy things.

If you're not wandering out and about, you're fine. Notably they also don't patrol the lower city for those who make home down there.

[Meiyokashi]

Most things would be available, things above Rarity 6 should be checked on/asked after specifically.

Turned around.

In the event....

Skulduggery: may be used to break a lookout into a location with a good view.

Is this an instance where Agility can/should be used? From EotE 116:

At the Game Master’s discretion, a particular Skulduggery check may use Agility instead of Cunning, to reflect a more physical approach.

[Meiyokashi]

I will say that there is enough ability for either to be used. While the original intention as written was more toward where Agility would come into play I can think of a few scenarios where Cunning would be valid as well.

So, yes! Both will be considered valid.

SO for the perception roll in missing persons.

Could I get a boost from my camera droids?

[The SCaT Droid]

Assuming you need 1 timeslot per modification attempt, but can we just put them all under the same thread if we're doing them back to back?

I would say yes, but the roll appears to have been handled already!

[Meiyokashi]

Not all, attempting to modify something still takes time.

[The SCaT Droid]

Got ya, so general rule of thumb or should I just make 3 threads for 3 mods?

[Meiyokashi]

Yep, double checked now to be sure. Installing a mod: "The character then spends 100 credits on components and supplies, makes sure he has a toolkit, spends a couple hours at a workbench, and makes a Hard Mechanics check."

So, one thread per mod.

Also remember: viewtopic.php?f=60&t=87

[The SCaT Droid]

Well, now I have the advantage of a droid!

[The SCaT Droid]

Also, if I am doing multiple mods in multiple time slots, is that multiple scenes?
