I've seen some discussion on the Rancor Pit about the number of force powers a character has at the start of the game, but not on which powers they can have/take.

How do you normally handle this?

Also, can I ask a basic clarification question about stun that I couldn't find an answer to in the REUP rulebook on the forums? I'd read the rules to mean that Stun results stack.

Thanks to everyone for the discussion and inspiration. I'm loathe to make the combat system too complicated, since that doesn't seem to be in the spirit of the game.

I've decided to pull a hit loca ...

I'm new to the d6 system and I'm a bit uncertain about some of the mechanics of combat damage.

If you don't use hit locations in your game, how do you handle armor that doesn't cover all body parts ...
