Coming back around to this...

I've never been hugely fond of how a Specialization is effectively cut off from its root skill. By its nature, a specialization is going to have some degree of overlap ...

We have the sense skill for force sensitives, and (at least in my opinion) a force sensitive should always get a sense check to detect things they aren't looking for unless there is some good reason t ...

Isn't Beskar lightsaber-resistant? (Or is it plot-resistant?) What are those staffs those Grievous guard-droids made out of?
IIRC, those staffs were made of Phrik. The three metals that can resist li ...

I like the difficulty and modifier breakdowns. Nice.
Thanks. I'm strongly considering separating out both size (particularly for sight) and familiarity with the sensory input as a separate modifier c ...

I have to say, those stats seem...off to me. Every instance I can recall in the EU where cortosis is encountered, it shuts the lightsaber off on contact, but the saber can almost immediately be turned ...

Another option that just occurred to me is to remove all mention of size from the Visual Difficulties chart and use [url=https://rancorpit.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=163460#163460]Scale Modifiers inst ...

I wouldn't be surprised if there was a space based droid that did resupply for missiles, but I would have it only able to load two at a time before having to return to the ship for another two missile ...

My first thought would be to reduce the Speed Code by 1D for each level of damage (1E Starship Combat took a somewhat similar route). Once the Speed Code hits 0D, there's nothing to add to the Hull to ...

In the past, I've posted some ideas about how a non-FS character might use a meditative state to conceal themselves from the Force, despite having no ability to use the Force (specifically, (A) Obscur ...

On a similar note, I came up with [url=https://rancorpit.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=153409#153409]this a while back. It's a way to use Knowledge skills to generate bonuses for non-Knowledge skills (al ...

Though looking at the deck plans I'd be hard pressed to see an entire 12 starfighter squadron plus shuttles (that are normally at least twice as long as an x-wing) fitting in there even double the siz ...
