The base damage of the Gamorrean's weapon is 5, plus the two success of its attack roll gives us 7 damage. Fortunately for Lowhhrick his Soak value is 4, so only 3 Wound damage done!

VEX and/or Lowhhrick can act.

Round 1:
PC, PC,
Thugs,
PC, PC

Vibro-Axe has a base damage of 7, with 1 total success -> 8. Thugs have a Soak of 3 BUT the Vibro-Axe has a "Pierce 2" quality, which means the first two point of Soak are ignored. 7 total damage, pig-thug is no more.

As this is the end of the encounter everyone can roll to reduce Strain. You can choose between a Simple (no Purple) Discipline or Cool check. Each success reduces your Strain by 1 - (A full night's rest will reduce Strain to 0).

EDIT: Actually roll TWICE to reduce stain - as the first action in the Cantina was an encounter as well.

@Squadfather44 - Yep, no points in the Skills BUT he does have points in the corresponding Characteristics!



Since EVERY Skill check is based on a corresponding Characteristic, you'll always be able to roll at least one Green die for every type of check.

Pash can roll 3 Green dice for each encounter.

@Rizzoxiii- Your Discipline Check should be 1 Green and 1 Yellow.



And you can make one roll for each encounter so far (2 total).

OK sorry

No apologies needed. Beginners' game after all! :-)

I knew the blue was wrong as soon as I saw it lol, but I am confused on the amount of green die.

Discipline shows 2 Willpower / 1 Rank
Cool shows 2 Presence / 0 rank

yet they are both 1 green / 1 yellow?

Larger number is the starting number of Green dice. (2 in both cases here). The lower number is the number of Green dice replaced with Yellow dice - This is referred to Upgrading the Skill check.
And it doesn't matter if the Characteristic or the Rank in Skill is larger, which ever is larger, that's the number of Green dice to start with and the lower number is the number of Green -> Yellow replacements.

So for your example:

Discipline (2 Will - 2 Green Dice) -> 1 Rank (1 Green to Yellow) = 1 Green 1Yellow
Cool (2 Presence - 2 Green Dice) -> 0 Rank (0 Green to Yellow) = 2 Green

(I just showed Discipline in the previous post as it was the better option for Lowhhrick. :-))
Green Dice have Advantages, Successes, and Blanks (It's a 6 sided die)
Yellow Dice have Advantages, Successes, Blanks, and Triumphs (It's a 12 sided die)

Strain rolls 1 & 2

It depends on the situation, but I’ve found that for PbP play that it moves things along quicker if a player can assume 2 Purple for a difficulty. We can always adjust as needed. Combat is usually pretty easy as the Difficulty is Range based - Melee 2P, Short 1P, Medium 2P, Long 3P, Extreme 4P.

Most non-combat check Difficulties against NPCs are based on the NPC’s Skill/Characteristics. So if Lowhhrick is trying to Deceive someone, the difficulty would correspond to that NPCs Vigilance Skill. (These are called Opposed Checks).

It takes a while to get into a natural flow when learning the system, but once it sticks, things move along pretty quickly. The first three or four sessions I ran for my local group were spent mostly on learning how the dice work. :-)

I like it so far. Once it clicked for me it's really easy to follow along.

So the team has the needed hypermatter reactor igniter, knows where the ship that needs it is located, and has heard Vorn mention something about having to deal with "the Imps that locked down his [Trex's] ship!"

VEX still has an opportunity to make a few rolls to reduce strain as well.

So the guy who's igniter we just took is the same ship we were originally heading for?
