Not to be a Debbie Downer, but thought I should mention that Coercion is something that pops up on the Conflict table...OOC:
It was a bit of a busy weekend for me so I'm sorry for the late response. I appreciate your argument for Wals actions ... and I should do a better job of pointing out when a player can expect to pick up Conflict (part of it a shamefully admit is my somewhat new exposure to the rule set) but in fairness to emsquared who carefully considers Ani's actions (and will even helpfully point out when Conflict might come into play) I think Wals should earn (2) Conflict points. True that violence is two-sided ... but showing your 'bigger' gun to a gang of thugs itching for a scrap is also more than likely to incite violence as the gang tries to maintain their Alpha status.I would welcome both your and emsquare's insight/rebuttal and may be moved otherwise to reduce the Conflict. That being said, (2) is not that harsh ... the rules are set up for the Jedi to make conscious choices on when to and when not to Conflict so I doubt it will effect Wals to much in the end. I believe Ani had a pretty decent Conflict score last mission and still was able to increase her Morality.

I just had a briefing with my tabletop game about starting FFG Star Wars, and I spent a lot of time on Conflict, explaining that it wasn't a punishment or a personal chastisement of how I felt about their actions, just a reflection of the emotional toll of doing things, on yourself and others. Star Wars is, after all, an action-ey adventure setting, and you basically get 1 conflict for starting a fight, so, some conflict is just... to be expected.
I don't think 2 is unreasonable for trying to strongarm some dudes, but I do wonder if he'd still get one for inaction which permits harm? It's a bit of a catch-22.

My view on it is that Coercion is using fear to manipulate someone. Period. Your motive really doesn't matter, cuz you basically always could have chosen something besides fear to try to motivate them - kindness, creds, even lies are better than fear.
The lightside has a problem with fear, or rather, the darkside really really likes fear. And likes ppl to use fear to achieve their ends. Fear is the darkside, so when I GM I will always give Conflict for using Coercion.

emsquared and GreyGriffin. I need you to provide a 1d10 for your change in Morality.
Ani received (1) Conflict
Wals received (2) Conflict.
Roll the 1d10 and if the roll is less than your Conflict your Morality decreases by the difference. If the roll is more than you conflict your Morality increases by the difference. (Wals's morality was triggered so the difference will be doubled).

Hey squad, I think I might pick up the Well Rounded talent, which will give me access to 2 new Career skills.
The shortlist I have is
Brawl (all-spectrum mixed martial arts combat mastery!)
Charm (appeals to peoples' better nature)
Knowledge (Warfare) (Wals' natural academic interests extending to his current practice)
Resilience (his natural hardiness)
Stealth (A natural aptitude for going unseen and unnoticed)
Any suggestions on what I should take, or anything you think I should consider adding to the list, consiidering how I've played Wals so far?

I would consider the cool skill too. It is both a social and combat init skill and could represent Wals progress in acting confident and composed.
In the other list, stealth would fit Wals experience in the last mission well (the stalking of the mercenary and the hiding on the crate)
