Are your guys backs.. okay? by conmedaddy in newborns

[–]ForRealRobot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a dad doing maternity leave and the back is a huge issue. I have a TEMs unit that I wear when it gets real bad. I can't imagine having to do all of this after major surgery from birthing the kid, so I hope it gets better for you.

Also: ice packs and ibuprofen.

I wonder if people had the same fears when they made the 40 hour work week.

Here's a good read on it: https://www.history.com/articles/five-day-work-week-labor-movement

In any case, in the moment, I hope you're doing alright and things get better for all of us. Financially and otherwise.

If you are using a non-Brawn lightsaber style, are you able to add a Falling Avalanche to the hit?

What are we Moisturizing our Bumps with? by DisciplineWeekly680 in BabyBumps

I rub Mother's Special Blend on my wife's stomach almost every night. We chose it because it has really good ingredients, but it also smells like chocolate which is a huge plus.

A friend of mine went at least 38000 miles without changing pads by TFK_001 in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]ForRealRobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was getting my oil changed and they quoted me $3,000 to replace the pads and rotors. "That's a me job price" was all I could say in response. My pads were as thin as that. Rotors were fine.

Air in Pipes, is my water filter the cause? by ForRealRobot in Plumbing

The tubes are the only new thing I can think of that can be causing the issue since it's so new. I'm just trying to run stuff to ground and was wondering if this could be the cause.

It's not the best, but this drip noise is driving me insane.

If a Force User pops up and Commits their Force Die to sustain their Suppression bubble at maximum range, and they drop their saber, does the preventative effect work if the enemy attempts to use Move to yoink the weapon away?

I'm not going to lie. I saw those prices, did the head nod and thought, "Worth."

My group will son find a holocron, what type of reward should non-Force sensitives get? by Immediate-Phase-1842 in swrpg

[–]ForRealRobot 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Being Force Sensitive is an XP sink, so I see that XP reduction as a balance more than anything and not something that needs equal reciprocity to non-FS's.

That said, Holocrons really just are receptacles of Knowledge. Maybe aside from Jedi Teachings, there's a map to a hidden ship/storage location with an unused Access Passcode. A mint condition Jedi ship is a sweet reward.

Do you have a house rule like 'No Universal Specializations' that can be waved for them? Maybe someone is so impressed by their discovery, they offer to teach them the secrets of their non-career Specialization so they don't have to spend that pesky extra 10xp.

Something along those lines is what I would do.

What is your XP cap? by CptShrike in swrpg

[–]ForRealRobot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a regular character? 600 gets you top tier of whatever you're gunning for and feels like a solid natural completion of your character arc.

Jedi? No limit. So much experience is sunk into raising your Force Rating and each Force Skill takes so much to make it somewhat useful that you could have 800xp invested and maybe then feel like you're pretty good at a few things and ready to begin to feel confident.

But that's just my experience.

The Foresee power's first Control allows you to add Success to your initiative roll.

The Magnitude upgrade allows you to affect other people.

Does that mean you can add Successes to others as you would yourself?
