USH'S STAR WARS GAME- CAMPAIGN II EPISODE V (DARK SIDE)- The Prisoner of Datura

I'm afraid not; only Bodyguard allows that sort of thing as it stands.

Is that directed at Lifting and human meat shield plan?

Yup.

Perhaps the Psychos, since they have a defensive thing going on, can jump over the trench and holdout until the bridge is in place so that the archers don't just kill our thugs and they drop it.

The archers aren't stupid, you know.

Why don't we just jump across and start killing them? I mean, they can't attack if they are dead.

Ok!

Wait... now you are here... leap across whilst carrying those giant metal shields? Actually no, you can't do that...

Maybe you can drop the shields and engage them? And does lifting not work on protecting the bridge guys?

Wait wait hold the phone Xavier has lifting!!!! He's more powerful than I imagined hmm 😛

I wonder if our own bows would have been more useful than shields.

Could the Psychos drop the shields and jump over in one action, then use Push/Pull to summon them the next action? Otherwise I don't see them volunteering to throw themselves in there.

Shields have kept us relatively safe so far I think. Quite like them.

Also, you are their leader, Rand, order them to do it!!!

Rah has leaping master/ great leap, would that allowing him to be able to clear the trench with his shield using a 'normal' jump?

Yeah, maybe if they spent a Force point on their jump?

Relle will finish off the archer she hit last turn with a good-sized rock.

I don't have Leaping mastered...damnit...but just the base power...but would that help at all?

How did none of us think about or ask this?

Because Galder wanted HEAVY shields... I bet you guys could have jumped across with small ones.

Obviously the base power doesn't help. The base power is what meant you could ever have leapt it at all; the heavy shields buggered that. Yup, light ones would have been fine.

Because the problem is speed/bulk as well as weight, I'll allow a leap on a Great Leap AND Dash spend.

"RARGH, GAAAAALDER!!!!! ha-son"

Con's mad at Galder.

Well, why not just wait until the bridge is installed, archers seem to not do us much damage.

I am still confused can Con use lift to protect the bridge guys though?

Is it a hard Agility roll for that?

Yes it is, and the answer is still no, Con.

Too bad. Maybe we should have carried the bridge. Too late for that.

How long would it take to cross the trench without spending points, with shields, out of curiosity?
