USH'S STAR WARS GAME 2009 (Updated!)- Main Rules

Aggravatingly, I still don't have a copy of some of the finalised schticks. I've updated the blade schticks as best I can; the Light Siders will have to use what I have for now.

Can Block stack? Say you're using Balanced Guard's +2 Armor but decide to to use Block for another +1? Or would you look at it as you do with pool, where the highest value added is what you take?

No powers ever stack unless specified.

That means that the Perfect Strike and Orthodox Guard only have 2+ Attack pool and not 4?

Yup

That is unfortunate, I hadn't considered that.

You do get the bonus of both changing your dice, though.

And we are in business!

All schticks have now been updated to their correct values. RUles for Knockback and Stun have been added.

Gallador and I were wondering about the power domination. I read it as follows:

"Domination can only target those with a lower Force Power rating than yourself. You can target people up to half your Force Power rating each game. The ‘X’ you spend on Domination increases your Force rating for the purposes of using this power, both for those who can target and how many you can target."

The way I understand it it means that since you have a force rating of 8 you can target up to half of that force rating each game, which would be 4. And you can only target those with a lower force rating that yourself, which in our group would be everyone but Rand and Azarl.

The way I understood the "x" is that you can increase the force rating, meaning you could spend 3 force points on "x" and then even target Rand and up to 5 people (because 8 + 3 = 11 and 11/2 = 5,5)

Gallador on the other hand seems to have read it differently, if I understand correctly he thinks he can target all people below half his force power. Meaning if he had 8 and spend 2, he could target all with a force power of less than 6. Maybe he can explain better what he meant...well, or you could just tell us how it works, haha.

Actually I understand so the combined Force Rating of people affected matters, so with effective Force Ratingo of 10 only one person could really be effected.

I'll get a Domination confirmation for you when I can.

Minor updates made to Both Guns Blazing and Defensive Leap/

My current reading on Domination:

- Force points spent increase your Force rating for the purposes of this power

- You can affect up to halve your Rating in people

- Dominate those with the lowest Force rating in the group first.

- You cannot Dominate anyone with a higher Force rating

Ah okay, that's good to know. Partly cause it means Con's just fine as long as Gallador doesn't spend 4 Force Points on it 😛

Although if you spend all 8 you can control the whole group except for Rand.

Small alteration made to the way lightsbare pool is calculated- i.e. it's not now calculated at all; it is just stated.

Questions!

1) Are there going to be any new schticks coming out soon? Random curiosity.

2) Some of the schticks and powers have perks that aren't explicitly stated, like Gunslinger allows you to draw a pistol for free or Precision allowing you to perform delicate telekinetic tasks. Are there any other schticks/powers that have things like this attached to them?

Hello!

I've been trying to find something in the rules about advertising other boards but haven't been able to.

Is advertising here allowed? I own a Star Wars RP board which has been running since April 2010. I'd love to advertise it here (and have you guys advertise at our place as well) but have no wish to break the rules.

Thank you! 🙂

Advertising other boards is generally prohibited, I'm afraid.

Bummer. Thanks for your reply anyway.

Have a good one 🙂

Does the schtick Ka-Boom! have any added effect against Mooks?

Literally yes but only if they have very advance warning, because Mooks typically don't jump out the way of explosions like supermooks and named characters do.
