Star Wars RPG Notes

[CRASHER]

On Jedi Healing:

You can only heal your own (and other's) vitality points once an hour (so Ray's second heal attempt Wednesday should have failed), same goes with wound and ability points, but you can only try once a day (how hot would that be in D&D, ok I drain your wisdom.... ok... suck it... I heal it back )

as I read more of the book in details I'll add it here so we know what's going on better

[CRASHER]

Lightsaber deflections:

At level 3, you get the feat of lightsaber deflection... if the attacker's roll is less then 5 away from the defender's AC (also you get a +2 to your AC when your lightsaber is lit in combat).... you can then roll an attack roll to deflect the thing back at the attack with a -4 penalty (I do think I am gonna keep the extra -1 per deflection attack in the round, as if you get shot at 8 times in a round you SHOULD be more likely to get hit... hell that's how most of the clones killed them after Order 66)

this deflection only costs you your move action, so you can fight as normal from the spot you're at as long as you don't need to move

Wound vs Vitality Points

This is still kinda weird, but the book does explain it ok (pg 158 for anyone who wants to check it out)

the Wound points work the same as HP in D&D (you need to go to -10 WP to die still)

VP represent a player's ability to AVOID lethal damage (which is why Force Skills tap into them), so if you get smacked by a blaster bolt for 15 VP damage, it means you used all your skills to make it into a glancing blow.....when you run out of VP you are now considered fatigued and take the -2 to Str and Dex... also ANY round you take WP damage (re: a Crit hit) you must make a fort save at 5+x x=number of wound points lost in attack, provided you are above 0 WP.... if you fail the save you are knocked out, KOed character is out for 1d4 rounds or unless someone heals him, KOed does mean you can be coup de grace however.

At 0 WP you are considered disabled, you can only single move or single attack, no full round actions and if you attack you lose one WP.

You naturally heal 1 VP/Level an hour (holy shit), 1 WP or ability point per day of rest, a trained healer (or droid) can double that speed

Force Points:
Extra FP's are awarded:
When levelling up
upon acts of blatant heroism (you know the opposite of what Ray did.... if Mike had lived what he had done would have qualifed)

Being tainted by the Dark Side (DS points < 1/2 one's wisdom score):
you've started down the dark path and are tainted by the power it offers.....
+2 Bonus on Dark Side force skills, -4 penalty on any light side ones (like healing)

any time you gain a DS Point, you must make a wisdom roll against 10+DS Points to see if one is lost to the dark side, the bonus and penalties now double (+4/-8) , any force points spent are considered to be calling on the Dark Side

Breaking the taint:
to try to atone back to the light side, one must reduce their DS Points to under half of one's wisdom score.... players can also sacrifce Force Points to nerf DS Points, and then try to re-roll for salvation, if they are under 1/2 of Wisdom, as long as they are not fully lost to the Dark Side

Long-term effect of Dark Side:
Anytime a tainted character levels up:
a corruption check must be made, DC 5+ DS Points, if save fails you lose 1 STR, DEX or CON to the will of the Dark Side (players choice, but you can not pick the same one twice in a row), and those stats can NOT be re-given back upon Redemption

If the character is considered flat out "Dark" that DC is 10+DS Points, same effects

this seems like the kinda character Ray wants to play, so I figured I'd post it here too:

Like the Jedi and the Sith, Grey Jedi live by a code of ethics. Unlike the Jedi and Sith codes, however, the "Code of the Line" eschews moral absolutes in favor of situational ethics; The code is as follows:

1 - Emotions are acceptable, but they don't control you.
2 - You are who and what you choose to be as the maker of your own path.
3 - Law is necessary to maintain order, and all must live by it.
4 - The law must be broken in the name of a greater good.
5 - Those who cannot defend themselves must be protected.
6 - Those who use others must be stopped.
7 - Peace cannot exist without war.
8 - War must be prevented if at all possible; if a war is necessary, however, it must be ended quickly.
9 - The quest for knowledge is the best focus of one's time and mind.
10 - One must never neglect Jedi training of the body and The Force.
11 - Anyone may hold any position if chosen or elected, including Jedi.
12 - Rulers must be removed if they abuse those they rule.
13 - Expansion of empire by any means is sometimes necessary and for the best.
14 - Expansion of empire for purely material reasons must be stopped.
15 - Those unable to rule themselves must be ruled.
16 - Those unable to rule themselves must be taught to do so.
17 - Trust The Force.
18 - Trust your instincts, for they have learned from experience.
19 - Trust your heart, for it will always be true to you.
20 - Trust your mind, for it will draw on all your knowledge.
21 - Do not trust your eyes, they may be deceived.
22 - Do not trust your ears, they can be deceived.
23 - Do not trust a Jedi, for they will always believe they are right.
24 - Do not trust a Sith, for they will convince you you are right.
25 - Do not trust a Grey, for they only trust themselves.
26 - Life must be preserved at all costs.
27 - Survival of the fittest is the way of life.
28 - The light will always chase away the dark.
29 - The dark will always encroach the light.
30 - So long as the grey line exists there will always be balance.
