|
|
A blaster shot is rolled against the range difficulty number. A vibroblade slash is rolled against its own weapon difficulty rating. Everything adds the target's defensive skill roll to the difficulty, or substitutes it for said difficulty. A Brawling apparently has no difficulty number to hit if the target of the blow declines to roll Brawling Parry.
(My source is the pure Second Edition rulebook.) _________________ "Fear God and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man." (Ecclesiastes 12:13b)

Base brawling difficulty is Very Easy!
Looks like that's on... pg 89 of 2E Revised & Expanded, but I vaguely recall seeing that somewhere in my good old 2E "blue book" as well... maybe.
If I track down the chapter and verse from that edition, will update!
EDIT: Annnnd it looks like that may have been first stated out right in 2E R&E! |

I am speechless. The game designers omitted that detail as long as that? (I have supposed that it was presumed that brawling parry would always be rolled as a matter of course. Not necessarily by any character played by me; I believe in the saying, "The best defense is a good offense.") _________________ "Fear God and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man."

The Second Edition Rules Upgrade does acknowledge this not being stated in the blue Vader book:
Clarification: Brawling has a difficulty of Very Easy unless the target parries. I can't say this has ever happened, but if an character being attacked is mapped out and can't mechanically parry, I would go by RAW and let the attacker try the Very Easy roll. But if a character is truly not resisting and willfully allowing himself to be punched, I would probably just say the attack is an automatic hit and only make the attacker roll a wild die to see if there is a complication. _________________ *

Well, if they were really unarmed, then they must have been slashed by a jedi with a lightsaber!! ![Razz](images/smiles/icon_razz.gif) _________________ Confucious sayeth, don't wash cat while drunk! |
