OOC - Ongoing Game Questions

AD-hoc may look into a personal deflector shield. Doesn't need it right away though.

So, Creds does have some purchases he'd like to make. The Entrepreneur really works with the Rarity rules. I earlier made the assumption that Lianna had a Rarity modifier of +1 (-1 for on a primary trade lane, +0 for civilized world, +2 for Outer Rim world).

Would this ship be something like +3 (-1 for on a trade lane (as it travels on them), +0 for civilized, and perhaps +4 for being a ship with limited stores)?

If it's OK, I'd like to say Creds bought some stuff before we left Lianna if these numbers are correct. Stopping at a well-traveled world just to buy a sidearm and some armor inserts probably wouldn't be economical, due to docking fees and the like, unless this ship was planning to stop anyway.

(Not trying to rules lawyer this, but the Entrepreneur is really geared toward this aspect of the game. :))

Is there anywhere with a specific list of items that can be purchased or should I just browse the list from the site I used for character creation?

http://sw-rpg.info/index.html

They have a pretty complete list of stuff. Pick a category and submit a blank search to browse everything.

I'm guessing encumbrance is 'bad' and encumbrance threshold is 'good'?

And looking at armors, when it states environment -1, how should I interpret that?

Yeah, but remember for armor, if you are wearing it, its Encumbrance is -3

My guess is that you can remove one black die ( setback die) due to environmental conditions. But if you lemme know what item you say it on, I can check the book for sure.

Not this?

Yeah, sorry. I think I mixed up the rows on the website

Hi, sorry for the uninformed absence. I had a family emergency and had forgotten my phone at home so I couldn't get onto gp

Welcome back, ChrSch! I hope things have settled down for you at home.

Is there anything gear-wise we can help you pick out? Are you looking for a better blaster? Some armor? Something else?

Creds can shop for you (or anyone else).

Thanks, yeah things have calmed down.

I was looking to improve or add to my weaponary. As I currently only have a Blaster carbine and trying to see about investing for better armor, where I was thinking to get the reinforced environment gear.

The environment gear is basically what they wore on Hoth -- if all you want is some extra protection, you might look at Armored Clothing, Laminate Armor or Padded Armor. As with any heavy armor, you have to weigh the benefit of extra protection with the fact that you'll likely freak most people out.

You might look at this list and pick something that offers both Defense and Soak. Most of these have a narrative side-effect, as well.

Ah, looking at the list, I think I will invest in some armored clothing then. We're not planning on going to hoth as far as I know :)

Ha, good point. I don't have one.
Any recommendations?

And thank you for the shopping trip

What kind of blaster does Zailor want? Probably a heavy blaster pistol (the most dangerous type you can use Ranged (Light) for)? Or are you optimized for Ranged (Heavy) (rifles)? From a lore perspective, the heavy blaster pistol will turn fewer heads than carrying a rifle around will. You might want a holdout blaster, too, for times you want to hide a sidearm when we're on a planet like the last one we went to.

I'm skilled for heavy.
So just a holdout blaster to complement my rifle?

Ah, OK. A couple of suggestions, then:

The DR-45 "Dragoon" Cavalry Blaster: Converts from a carbine rifle to a hand blaster with a maneuver. Might be useful if you want to open carry, but not freak people out as much as a rifle would. If fish hit the shan, you convert it to a rifle and pew pew.

For a holdout, I'd suggest either the Military Holdout Blaster or the Boonta Blaster. The Boonta's rarer (so harder for Creds to find), but better in that it has a Hard Point (customization option), and it is a bejeweled blaster that you can try to pass off as ornamental (the bonus to Deception checks if it's found). If you want to spend the cash, Creds can look for the Boonta and, if his roll fails, move on to the Military Holdout as a backup.

You might also want a Concealment Holster to make it even tougher for someone to find your holdout blaster on you.

Let me know what you think. Creds likes to shop.
