    Okay lemme test it...

    Edge of the Empire - XeY, where Y is the first letter of the die type: Ability, Boost, Challenge, Difficulty, Force, Proficiency, or Setback.

    Geth roll 1eA+1eB+1eC+1eD+1eF+1eP+1eS

    1eA+1eB+1eC+1eD+1eF+1eP+1eS 1 advantage, 1 Despair, 2 Dark Side [1eA=A/A] [1eB=-] [1eC=D] [1eD=Th] [1eF=DS/DS] [1eP=S/S] [1eS=F]

    Yeah so basically if your skill is 2 and your stat is three, for example, and you were rolling a charm test against the base staff to get some info as you head over, then you'd roll

    Geth roll 1eA+2eP+2eD

    1eA+2eP+2eD 1 failure, 2 advantage [1eA=A] [2eP=S/A, A] [2eD=F/F, Th]

    So this should be my charm check proper then.

    Geth roll 2eA+1eP+2eD

    2eA+1eP+2eD 2 failures, 1 advantage [2eA=A, -] [1eP=A/A] [2eD=F/F, Th/Th]

  • HellboreHellbore A bad, bad man Registered User regular
    Geth roll 2eA+1eP+2eD for testing

    testing:
    2eA+1eP+2eD 0 successes, 1 Triumph [2eA=A, S] [1eP=Tr] [2eD=F, F/Th]

  • SolarSolar Registered User regular
    So you fail to get any info

    But... you get some sort of advantage which could be useful later, or change the situation to your benefit

    I'm going to say that your... unique introductory style means you don't get any information from these guys now

    But that the dude you chucked your bag at seems to have a teensy crush on you, which you notice. Poor lad. Talking to him later might net you some more info, with a much easier roll

  • Albino BunnyAlbino Bunny Jackie Registered User regular
    Poor boy.

    Also I'm kinda assuming that Roma's made a habit of pushing anything that looks like Boeing base work onto Rehma whenever she gets the chance to excuse herself from patrols or helping maintain her craft.

    I'll do a Leadership check to see what the mood among the soldiers & staff that I pass is like.

    Geth, roll 1eA+1eP+2eD

    1eA+1eP+2eD 2 successes [1eA=A] [1eP=S/S] [2eD=Th, -]

  • HellboreHellbore A bad, bad man Registered User regular
    Mechanics check to see what the state of the base infrastructure is like

    Geth roll 1eA+2eP+2eD for Mechanics

    Mechanics:
    1eA+2eP+2eD 3 successes, 1 threat, 1 Triumph [1eA=S/A] [2eP=S, Tr] [2eD=Th, Th]

  • TomantaTomanta Registered User regular
    Perception check to get a general feel for the base, specifically how it would fare against a concentrated assault, and any ways out of the base (observations over several days).

    Geth roll 3eA+2eD for Perception

    Perception:
    3eA+2eD 1 failure, 1 advantage [3eA=A, A, S] [2eD=F/F, Th]

    I'm going to try and Charm/convince the Commander to try and give me a bit more information on why Caldwee is here.

    Geth roll 2eA+1eP+2eD for Charm on the Commander (I'm thinking Charm is the correct skill in this situation)

    Charm:
    2eA+1eP+2eD 1 success [2eA=A/A, S] [1eP=S] [2eD=Th, F/Th]

    Geth, roll 2eA+1eP+2eD for Perception to see if anything is "interesting" and or "amiss" on the base. Someone where he shouldn't be...looking where he shouldn't be, that kind of thing.

    Geth, roll 2eA+1eP+3eD for Perception to find anything interesting regarding Rho, Morr & the Xexto

    Perception to see if anything is "interesting" and or "amiss":
    2eA+1eP+2eD 3 successes, 2 advantage [2eA=S/A, S/S] [1eP=A/A] [2eD=Th, -]
    Perception to find anything interesting regarding Rho, Morr & the Xexto:
    2eA+1eP+3eD 3 successes, 2 threat [2eA=A, S] [1eP=S/S] [3eD=Th, Th, Th]

    Rolling Deception to get the commander Rho to believe I know more about my people than I really do.
    Geth roll 1eP+2eA+2eD

    1eP+2eA+2eD 2 successes, 2 threat [1eP=S] [2eA=S, A] [2eD=Th/Th, Th]

    Ooooh interesting choices! I'll need to put together quite a significant post, since the nature of the rolls can have a rather complex outcome...

  • FaranguFarangu I am a beardy man With a beardy planRegistered User regular
    You being across the pond from most of us works out quite nicely for this - we get in most of our dice rolls while you're out, so you get to come back to everything in one go

  • SolarSolar Registered User regular
    Yeah it's good

    I'm going to do screenwipes and quick movements between scenes too, very Star Wars and keeps the pace moving. The first scenario should be doable within, like, a week.

  • Albino BunnyAlbino Bunny Jackie Registered User regular
    With Rika's parents I figure I'd leave the hook open for them to show up again. Especially if I wind up making her force sensitive because that leads to the obvious 'parents were taken away for being force sensitive' set up.

  • FaranguFarangu I am a beardy man With a beardy planRegistered User regular
    The suspense

    It kills

  • SolarSolar Registered User regular
    Typing up now, sorry guys, life has gone crazy today and yesterday impinging on me a bit but I am on it! Have no fear!

  • Albino BunnyAlbino Bunny Jackie Registered User regular
    Just to make sure we're all on the same page but I give anyone full permission to literally punch Rika if she gets too obnoxious for your character.

  • FaranguFarangu I am a beardy man With a beardy planRegistered User regular
    Oh man, if my hunch is right

    I want to roll a Warfare knowledge check to see if I can determine if these guys are linked to Garm Bel Iblis's splinter cell. If it's more than two purples, I'll add them in later.

    Geth, roll 2eA+1eP=2eD

  • FaranguFarangu I am a beardy man With a beardy planRegistered User regular
    Silly keyboard

    Geth, roll 2eA+1eP+2eD

    2eA+1eP+2eD 1 success [2eA=A/A, S] [1eP=S] [2eD=Th/Th, F]

    Maybe I get the attention and/or ire of one of or both of the other offices giving me setback dice with them

    Sure, that makes sense. I'm thinking maybe the quiet female officer, though perhaps you don't know why

    How are we handling languages? Is it assumed that we all know what the others are saying when they speak in Rodese or Shriwook or whatever?

  • TomantaTomanta Registered User regular
    The system pretty much handles language as "if it makes sense for you to know it, then you do".

  • SteelhawkSteelhawk Registered User regular
    Works for me!

    They aren't, but he's not the only guy with concerns about the Alliance security network.

  • FaranguFarangu I am a beardy man With a beardy planRegistered User regular
    Ah dang. Oh well, worth a shot

  • SolarSolar Registered User regular
    Yeah I'm going with the existing canon, to be honest

    Like, as it is in the new movies

    makes things way easier and more open

  • FaranguFarangu I am a beardy man With a beardy planRegistered User regular
    Sounds like we're all square for the briefing?

    Like I mentioned, I'm completely finempty with being on a rotating roster, rather than being shoehorned into everything.

  • SolarSolar Registered User regular
    Okay then, briefing!

    This will be kind of like, hey this is rather a large job, with various stages

    So people can come in and out accordingly

  • Albino BunnyAlbino Bunny Jackie Registered User regular
    It is 1 am so I am not going to embarrass myself trying to type words but needless to say this mission is rad.

    Also I have being reading stuff online and apparently the performer gets a talent called 'My Biggest Fan' and can we please house rule this in some way for Rika that doesn't involve me trekking through a talent tree that's entirely not her thing?

    Ooooh, sexy...

    Also prequel stuff?????

    Next you know the man will have us escorting a gungan scientist around the galaxy chasing rumours of force sensitive kids so we can test their midichlorian levels.
    This is written as a joke but is (minus the gungan scientist) a plot hook that I think would be super fun to base a short campaign around. As much as most people shudder at the word midichlorian

    Midi-what?

  • HellboreHellbore A bad, bad man Registered User regular
    I feel like we're moving fast enough that rotating people out seems unnecessary, unless a someone wants to sit out an encounter.

  • Albino BunnyAlbino Bunny Jackie Registered User regular
    If I roll to know more about the fighters can Rika's obsesssion with sleek, fast ships give her a boost die?

    Also, not that it matters with my skillls but what knowledge would it fall under?

  • FaranguFarangu I am a beardy man With a beardy planRegistered User regular
    Yea I think it's more in case there's base intrigue going on during mission time
