Star Wars: Opposing Forces

Works perfectly, we'll likely reach that point soon, I'm trying to get everyone moving from this prologue chapter.

@PlatinumSkink

So how do you wanna handle this? You can just go ahead and join the collab post Ciphra and I have in progress, just have her sort of stumble upon them and we can move from there.

@PrettyWalrus Sorry, didn't address the other thing in my previous post: TheUnkowable's idea isn't bad at all, whether your character goes light or dark side(I'm not picky either way) they could encounter Pim before anyone else and have some kind of private story arc there.

EDIT so I don't make yet a third post: both of the collab links are now on the first post, very bottom.

I'd rather avoid a character who has any connection to the Jedi. I already have one, and this was meant to be a post Jedi Galaxy.

Star Wars: Opposing Forces

I'm interested in making a character, but as always, I ask the people involved if they are interesting in a new person and what kind of people they are lacking. I've played Dungeons and Dragons for almost 10 years so I understand the idea of dice rolling and i am quite intrigued by the idea of this

@PrettyWalrus

We don't mind having new people, the only thing I ask is that we wait until this chapter is over before introducing new characters. I don't know if you've been reading the IC or collab posts, but right now we're basically in two small groups going through our instances and it's hard to find excuses for new characters to appear immediately.

As far as what kind of character we're missing: if I'm right about who is actually still around, we have a decent mix of people. A thief, a Jedi descendant turned smuggler, a security guard and a pair of Dathomiran siblings.

Quite a lot of them come from sketchier backgrounds, two of them are criminals. Maybe a former republic soldier? That might mirror Rokun too closely, though.

Most of them are adults, a child might be interesting. What sort of characters do you like to play?

Feel free to write Kil's next move.

David left his protégés on Korriban to follow a lead. He will return with two new apprentices, who will be involved in events that follow.

I'm going to make an executive request here. I know titanpad has a chat function that's really useful, but that's off set by the fact that the GM can't see the collab properly. Could we move the collab to google docs? So that I can follow it and make rolls when necessary?

Star Wars: Opposing Forces

Slight edit to that ruling: Kilgaris's acrobatics skill is applicable, allowing him to dodge and avoid the fire as he closes the distance between him and the droid. So he would roll that skill against the droid's blaster instead.

@Minimum@TheUnknowable

Got a GM ruling regarding events in the collab. It was suggested that one cannot put their blaster through the droideka's shield, and whether you can or not it was asked exactly how we would roll in this situation. Here is a quote of my ruling, I wanted to bring it here so anyone might argue with or against it.

I'm ruling in favor of Min here. I agree that the show made mistakes, but it is canon, and is therefore a valid source of precedence for universe mechanics.
I will, however, take a closer look into other canon sources of info, see if I can find more about how they work to give a better ruling.

Now, about the roll. I think for this move, we need to roll Kilgaris's plain Dex stat against the droid's blaster skill. Because it's a point blank shot, the question here isn't whether he hits the target, it's whether he can get into the shield to take the shot without getting hit himself.

Star Wars: Opposing Forces

Alright, you're good. Move it to the Character tab, and keep it in hiders.
