Oooo! I didn't think of it like that. Now I'm a little less excited about this fight. Gee, thanks! 😛 Now that I think about it, I realised was looking at this like it would be a fun smashy-killy cakewalk Ush was giving us to get everyone into the 'new' rules. Now I'm wondering why I ever thought something like that. Ush =/= Cakewalk. heehee.
No, really, I'm psyched. I might be calming Andro down a little in-game, but I feel like counting my kills vs. other Jedi ala Legolas/Gimli. Any takers? I don't think Andro is quite the mook-a-chopper-matic he was under the old system, but he sure did tear up those droids on Mandragos. (Carnival of Carnage was the best power EVER - except for the timing out on frames thing that stuck me in the lobby alone on Droben.)
God did I love the old Carnival of Carnage. One frame snapped attacks that were almost always a guaranteed hit anyway because my lightsaber skill was so high...amazing. That plus Riposte, and the fact that I had extra Force points to spend on saber moves, was insane.
Swordsmen are definitely a bit toned down from before though, yeah.
And hehe, we did the kill counting competition before. It was Rianna vs. Galder. Rianna won 😄
Well, I pushed him a wee bit too close to the Dark Side when I had him try to kill Seinar. Besides, it's in the template description to try to round out the character a bit, so I went for some other useful powers instead of capping off the mook-o-matic with the last of the violence tree. Most importantly, it will be nice to be a little more useful outside of a fight. Hopefully.
Yeah that's sort of the same reasoning I've got right now - trying to make Rianna more useful outside of a fight. I mean, I'm blowing all of my saved up XP to increase her Force rating, and I'll probably be hoarding XP for a bit after that to get a new Force power, or increase some skills 😂 And yay for having in-character reasons to do so, too.

Bring it on, Vlad's a mook killer. Killed four droids in one turn once - with a rifle!
We could actually bring this into IC. Say it some kind Swordsman/Athlete rivalry.
Oh, yeah? You're on. Here's an excerpt from the Droben Mission: This was just a single use of the Carnival of Carnage power.
Ok, Andro is going truly nutso! Carnage is actiavted.
Andro kills three mooks in one frame. He then moves on another frame to get closer to some more. He kills three more on the next frame. THen another frame to move. Then another frame to kill three more.
Bad guys fire ....... and a lot of firepower goes towards the lethal death machine that is Andro, with two hits, a total of 12 damage.
In the next frame, Andro hacks down three more mercenaries. The next frame, two turrets. Then a frame moving, then one turret... and finally a miss. Andro frames out.
1 'Turn'
12 Mook Mercs
3 auto turrets
1 Crap-load of damage and...
1 stranded Jedi
I missed the last elevator to the top, so had to clear out the lobby by myself until a car returned. I think I was double-impaired by the time I got to the fight at the top. I don't think I was conscious at the end of the battle. What a ride.
Well, I was referring to the new system.
Although, if we have it that way, let me find the excerpt from where Vlad was ambushed by 26 droids.
Okay, not ambushed, but he ran into them to save a few cultists.
Frame one - Defensive Charge and Flying Charge. One hit two kills. Same thing for another frame, then two kills with a strike the third, and then three kills with the fourth frame. Another three kills with the fifth frame using Twirl and Cleave. Seventeen damage taken, and mind you that was twenty six droids shooting at one Jedi!
That is 14 kills in five frames, and barely any damage taken.
Only 26...yeah...I can top that.
Rianna found herself faced against a total of about 31 bad guys, which included something like...4-6 supermooks, and a named character or two.
While by herself. And while effected by Dark Side Emotions (from the old system) that forced her to stay and fight. And she had no escape route at all.
Yeah. I think I win 😛
I remember both of those. I think Crewlifornia was in Hawaii during the Droben excursion but I do remember Andro dicking around. 😛 And Vlad did pretty well against those droids. Seems to happen to you, Vlad.
Way back in the day, before the dice system was apparent, Galder got blown up twice, was poisoned by radiation, was shot in the arm by himself, then engaged a Dark Jedi in a duel at a -4 penalty.
Good times for Galder.

Well that's because Galder's an idiot 😛
I remember being in charge of the Darkies while you and Zink were gone 😂 That was amusing.

Wait, wait. You shot yourself in the arm?
Well Vlad, it's hard to compare between the systems. I killed 15 with ONE Force power, you killed 14 and faster, but with several powers. So now that we're on the same page in the same fight, let's start counting! May the best swordsman (don't mean template) win.
And Rhianna always wins. By default. It's just the way it is.
Still, how many Super Battledroids was Andro locked up with on Mandragos, Hmm? Killed nearly half of them, and that's WITH a Named Character shooting at him. And he was still standing (unsteadily I'll grant you) when the dust settled. All things considered, Andro is not to be trifled with.
Rianna always wins because she's just that damn awesome.
However, I remember being jealous of your insane killing spree on Mandragos. Because damn. You had a different Force power setup than I did, though. And I always had envisioned Rianna as more of a one-on-one duelist, as opposed to spreading bits of damage over a wide area.
