GM Questions

[Flession]

In the medical center fight do we have time for a quick stim before the next wave?

Yes.

For the Helping the Civs thread in the Medical Center:

"Force Powers that apply to the context of this situation may be used instead of rolling a dice and will negate the need to make a check, as well remove having to make one upgraded check. Be aware, however, that you are using Force powers in a Imperial friendly environment and you could be caught doing this."

Got a question here - could influence be used to calm down folks to make for an easier time exiting? If so, how would you say that would work?

Thanks!

Roll the Force die as normal.

As in, it only subtly improves your ability to communicate (assuming the passive stuff and not the jedi mind trick rolls) or only roll force dice and if you get a light, you auto pass?

The latter. Also can use dark, if you want.

So if a droid helps in the hospital, does that automatically lead to the Imperials hooking them up to a computer and checking all their files?

They have other concerns to contend with that are larger than a antique B1.

Assuming, of course, you haven't been caught doing something naughty.

As a follow-up to this - does this replace one of the tests? And in this case, which one? Can it be any of them? (I'd guess not, but worth asking!)

Yes. You can, for instance, choose to do a Force Power instead of doing the daunting check.

You could do a Force Power for all 5 rolls, if you wanted to.

[The SCaT Droid]

Can we do more than 5 rolls?

[Flession]

No.

Not the same Force Power check though... Right?

Asking because that would mean auto-passing for me with 1 success each at least due to Empty Soul. Just doesn't sound right

Correct.

Once a skill is used, including Force Powers, it cannot be selected again for use by anyone else.

Including yourself.

Force Powers that grant boosts, however, is fine every time.

Event questions (sorry, but I don't exactly know how to apply the goodies to the event):

Using Full Throttle as Manoeuvre (Basic, Improved, Supreme) works how in the first round?
Using Repulsorlift Enhancers attachment Manoeuvre works how in the first round?

(both increase max speed; do they just increase speed straight, or the difficulty as well)

Do Shortcut & Shortcut (Improved) apply?

Do speeds and speed differentials pass from round to round?

-Tag-

-Tag-

Using Full Throttle as a Maneuver means you'll make the associated Average Piloting check to increase the Vehicles top speed, with that top speed being increased by 2 with Supreme. Now, it's important to note that Full Throttle does not bring your current speed up- it only increases the top speed possible. As this also only lasts a number of rounds equal to your cunning it will be important for when you use it/what speed you're at as you will still need to perform the maneuvers to increase your current speed.

Your top speed does not equal your automatic speed as you still need to take maneuvers to speed up. Your current speed is where the difficulty for the roll comes into effect. For example, all NPC's rolled against their current speed (2's and 1's) for their jockeying roll because they increased their current speed into those levels. However, with their speeders they can go a Maximum of 3 without any boosts to possible top speed.

Originally, I had planned not to- because I felt a race would be straight forward/not allow it but this is definitely a race that would allow shortcuts so.. yes! Shortcut and Shortcut improved apply!

Essentially the main gimmick is that you're trying to increase your speed as fast as you can, and you can only increase it so much with the maneuvers/actions as well as strain and system strain available to you. There will be other potential pitfalls across the path that may cause you to also lose speed which you'd then have to try and recoup by the end.

So, the above may be additional information but I believe the simple answer to the last question is: yes. So long as I understand the question.

I hope this helps and clears things up. If you have further questions please don't hesitate to ask.

[Qar Offee]

Thanks! It's getting clearer. If I jockey from speed 1 to speed 5, is it 4 purple or 5 purple difficulty? (the difference or the max?)

If my Silhouette is 2 and Handling is 2 I roll without upgrades?

Does Full Throttle Roll benefit from Shortcuts just like the normal jockeying roll?

Full Throttle would not benefit.

Upgrade you'd get from Sil 2 would be cancelled by Handling 2, yes.

Your jockeying roll is just a test in how you maintain yourself in the race against your current speed, it does not affect your current speed. You'd need to utilize other methods to increase your speed. Jockeying roll difficulty is always based off your current speed at the end of the current round.

Interim possibilities here

[The SCaT Droid]

Can you wear 2 sets of armor? And if so, how does that work?

[Meiyokashi]

You cannot.

[Raven Cadera]

No.

Age of Rebellion (p.221), Force and Destiny (p.213), and Edge of the Empire (p.207).

Soak stacks when it is from different sources, such as heavy assault armor (Armor) and subdermal plating (Cybernetic). Multiple applications of the same source do not stack, however. A character cannot wear three suits of heavy assault armor and stack the soak bonuses from each.

All you'd benefit from wearing more armor is more Encumbrance.

[The SCaT Droid]

What about other benefits of armor, like the encumbrance reduction of cargo clothing underneath real armor
