what are the characteristics? like intelligence? and what is the highest they can get, same with skills? and one more question, you say 5x the skill rank i want, so if i buy skill lv 5, it would cost 25xp (5 x 5 = 25)?

Characteristics are your brawny, agility, etc so yes like intelligence. Six is the cap for those, if figure, skills are the same. Although you could have a higher skill than characteristic. Agility of two and rank 3 ranged light would be YYG. It would be 25 if it's core and assuming you had rank 4 already.

As Remnant indicates, you have to buy each skill level in turn.

If you have a career skill to get from level 1 to level 3 would cost:

2 * 5 + 3 * 5 = 25xp.

If you had level 3 and wanted to go to five, it would be:

4 * 5 + 5 * 5 = 45xp.

Non-career skills add 5xp to the cost.

Whoa! I don't pay attention for one weekend and S$^& starts getting real in here!

Well that went badly... I blame it on the alcohol

Kenny, you can get the extended hilt which will add 1 to the damage and has a mod you can add with a 1 purple Mechanics that'll add 1 vicious to it as well. Your lightsaber crystal also has numerous Mods you can try adding to it. They start with 1 purple mechanics, and add 1 purple for each additional mod you add. The available Mods for the Illum Chrystal are:
2 vicious +1
4 damage +1
1 decrease the Crit rating by 1

not sure if meta gameing is okay, but "steve" can mod stuff for you guys : Gear Head Rank 1 - Remove 1 die per rank of GearHead from Mechanics checks, halve credit costs to add mods to attachments. (now credit cost to add mods to attachments at 1/2 cost)

I'll pick up the +4 damage one. Will the quartermster install or should I get "Steve"?

That's actually 4 separate +1 damage mods. You get reduced difficulty of working on your own lightsaber which is why it's starts at 1 purple (and actually with crystal mods, you can add a number of force die equal to your force rating) so if Steve Mods it, it'll be 3 purple (2 purple with his gear head)

The quartermaster can give you the extended hilt which adds +1 to damage and doesn't require a check to install.

I put the general things I was requesting in my post, let me know if you need page reference for the Three Point Hardness and I'll link.

I'll just take the extended halt for now then.

Good news everyone! I think I've finally gotten past the part of my job that's been taking all my time so I should be able to post more often now.

*Does the Kermit 'Yay' dance*

Also would I be able to get a Weapon Harness at the QM?

I swear guys, im TOTALLY not trying to make a robot army. i swear.

what exactly would i need to do in game to make another pit droid mechanic in the game, and mod the mouse droid to have spider legs for more maneuverability, and a smaller version of a pit droid head for light/cam?

Making a pit droid is going to take a 3 purple with 1 black Mechanics check to built it from the parts you've got, but it'll also take days to get it built and working properly. The mouse droid upgrade I guess we'll treat like adding Mods to equipment so the first upgrade will be 3 purple, the add a purple die for each upgrade after.

is that with consideration to my mechanics rank 1?

No your talents can remove some dice like usual

also, will inventor (When constructing new items or modifying attachments, add 1 die or remove 1 die per rank of Inventor.) also allow me to take off 1 die, same as gearhead? at least in regards for creating the extra pit-droid mechanic.

and as a side note, may i use the 3 advantage from modifying the mouse droid for some blue die boosts on the pit droid?

Happy New Year, did we lose a few people? DW? *poke poke*
