Oh

[DeepSpacer]

I was rather hoping he would pick up the bottle of smash the barkeeper over the head with it. I suppose the encounter isn't over with yet!

[Trip]

I think it would be cool, before going any further, to have all the PCs narrate what they are doing at this moment. The story feels a little one sided, like the boss is the only one in the cantina.

If this is poisoned, I'm upset

Why? you were not forced to drink it. the NPC merely asked you to do so. Even if it is poisoned and near fatal it just adds to the story. Even Disney doesn't make stories where nothing bad happens to the characters. Having bad things happen can add to the story and make it better, more fun, and interesting. It being poisoned or not is not as important as how we respond to what does happen.

[Trip]

I am not sure where we are on strain. I am pretty sure no one has any wounds yet. I am going to say everyone has recovered any strain they may have up to this point.

[swrider]

Matt not only do I suggest you take two boost dice from your advantages (1 for next roll and 2 to provide you specifically with a boost) but you should also flip a DP for your check. We should stack the odds in your favor.

Helios is going to hold back for a minute to see how the others respond.

[Matt Skywalker]

One thing about PBPs.
Nobody knows when your sarcastic

[Matt Skywalker]

Yes.
Advantage people

[swrider]

Yes.

Truer words have rarely been written. The vast majority of my college education has been online and telling the tone of a post is so difficult the school actually recommends, up through the graduate level, that you utilize emojis along with posts where the tone could be mistaken. I have never seen anyone actually do this, but it shows just how difficult it can be to convey tone through the written word without substantial context. I have advised others on this board to specifically state when their is a specific tone they wish to convey. You will notice Shado utilize emojis and his custom [/rant] tag for just this purpose.

[Trip]

[rant] I hate rant tags. [/rant]. Just kidding.

[swrider]

lol

[swrider]

Helios has been watching the crowd how are they responding to the situation?

[DeepSpacer]

If the crowd reacts (which I doubt they do), it'd be time for some "crowd control" (Leadership check).

[Matt Skywalker]

I wish I'd know the results of The poison

[Trip]

I updated the who's turn is it page to reflect the destiny point and the 5 wounds for boss.

[SavageBob]

Hey, Trip, forgive the interruption. Any room for one more in this game? Now that I understand the rules of the board better, I'd love to join up. But no worries if you want to run with four folks for the time being.

[Trip]

I can add up to two more. So sure! I will need to figure out how to work you in.

[SavageBob]

Cool! Looks like y'all have a face, leader, pilot, and ranged tank, so any other role would work? And just to make sure I understand: I get Force Rating 1, even without taking a F&D career or Force-sensitive Exile or Emergent?

Some specs I think would be fun: Warden, Pathfinder, Investigator, Shadow, or Aggressor. There are a ton in EOTE & AOR that would be fun, too, but for this game, it seems like F&D is more in keeping with the spirit of what you've got going on.

Yes, you can be anything that seems fun. Just remember, in the spirit of the theme that you are a good guy. Stay away from Dark Side stuff. A force rating of 1 and 20 earned XP is the grant.

[swrider]

With the mentor benefit if I recall correctly.

[Trip]

With the mentor benefit if I recall correctly.

Yes.

[SavageBob]

Great! I'll work up a character concept.

Quick question: With EOTE & AOR Careers, you get a free rank in 4 of 8 base Career Skills, and 2 of 4 Specialization Career Skills. But with F&D, you only get 3 of 6 base Career skills, and 1 of 4 Specialization Career Skills. In other words, Force Rating 1 seems to be worth two more Career Skills and two more skill ranks, at least in Raw. Would you be open to boosting the F&D Careers to compensate? Maybe a free rank of Well Rounded and two more "free" skill ranks? If not, I can just make an EOE or AOR character to keep things balanced with the rest of the party.

[Trip]

I'm fine with both those requests.

[Trip]

The boss is not unconscious. He is just weak from the poison. He knows what the bartender said.
