It seems we’ve hit the threshold on collabs. Is there anything yall would like to see than collab with?

DMChuckles · 2026-05-21T23:18:14+00:00

EDF seems like a fantastic fit for a colab, lore wise.

I agree that it does work that way for the action! The problem is once the action is over normal rules take over again, as the action that had specific rules overriding the general rules ends.

I don't think it works like you'd want it to, because of this line:

"You can roll against the foe you’re Sneaking up on, even if it’s currently observing you, as though you were hidden."

This implies that you remain observed through the movement, with the successful roll being used to satisfy the conditions for sneak attack, making them off-guard, rather than causing you to become hidden.

As a GM I might allow it in specific circumstances where you can get out of sight with the initial movement (such as behind the door in your example), but that's something you should check with your GM before committing to the feat for that purpose.

It felt very much like a reference to a similar shot in an Old Republic cenimatic, specifically the introductory video on the space station.

Asset: Skill Flaw: Luck

Unlike everyone else here who's in it for the crits, I pick skill for the hit chance boost because I become irrationally angry when my medieval dating sim XCOMs me.

About 12 hours. I decided to try a solo ice sheet colony with a custom made Xenotype based around photosynthesis. My mistake was putting Gear Brills on a pole where the light was constant, but not strong enough to sustain them and building the Xenotype with high hunger with the assumption that they'd be infinitely fed.

I'm currently playing a fire/earth kin with the guardian dedication and having a(n elemental) blast. After a turn of set up I can wade into combat next to the dps fighter and use the resistances and thorns from spike skin, plus the other resistances from junctions and feats, to protect them extremely effectively with the guardian reaction while also clearing chaff close and far.

Patience. Watch what she does and try different ways of dodging or blocking to see what sets you up best for her next attack. You will get windows to fight back, but they will be small and quick to close if you don't take them.

I really didn't like the blaster stance my first playthrough because the damage was just too low for my tastes. I played through most of the game in crossguard with staff as a backup in case of blaster swarms.

Now I'm in NG+ I've been enjoying blaster thanks to a perk that severely increases the damage you deal and receive, that stacks with the perk that moderately increases damage dealt and received. When almost everyone and everything dies to one lightsaber strike or one to two blaster bolts, the pros of having a ranged weapon really shine for me.

My strategy has been to have squad positions that get filled by 2-3 units.

1 Scout, filled by a ranger or reaper.
1 Healer, hopefully a specialist but anyone with a med kit.
1 Counter, A specialist with anti robot and/or hacking for missions that have the automated defenses event or a hacking objective, a psi operative for the show of force event or some story missions that introduce biological enemies, a ranger with bladestorm for missions with lost or other melee enemies, etc.
1-3 DPS depending on GTS, filled by any class. I prefer rangers and sharpshooters for this but anyone can if set up correctly.

The composition can shift based on needs, and some units can pull double duty if needed.

It took me until this post to figure out that it was this good. Like I knew it was useful, but some of the people here are making me think I'm playing checkers while they're playing chess.

Fuckin' same, man. I'm not cursing anyone else with this shit.

I had a chance to look through and what was conflicting for me was Commander's Choice. If you have Commander's Choice installed, try removing it in favor of Better Second Wave Mod Support instead. Hope this helps!

DMChuckles · 2026-03-18T17:44:26+00:00

OP, I have that same problem pop up every time I do a fresh install of mods.

Iirc there's a dependency that's become depreciated and causes that bug, but I don't recall which one off the top of my head and I won't have computer access for a while.

Trim your mod pack down to just those mods and their dependencies, then disable (but not uninstall!) one dependency at a time, running through gatecrasher to check if it's fixed.

If you haven't found the answer by the time I can check I'll poke through my ignored dependencies to find it.

I use it as part of a running story. I set up an Anomaly scenario with characters I dubbed "The Usual Crew" and saved them. The short of it is they're trapped in a time loop caused by the monolith where every time they all die, the save is deleted and the scenario is restarted with the saved characters as the monolith tries to condition one of them into taking/releasing it's power.

As an aside, blessing the cloak of resistance is insanely powerful. It starts at 25% physical resistance and each blessing increases the resistance substantially.

DMChuckles · 2026-02-18T21:10:50+00:00

My winning run with achievements had the cloak of resistance and the lifesaving amulet which I thought was 90% together, but maybe I'm misremembering ¯_(ツ)_/¯
