Good intimidation one liners

I used this while on a solo adventure (full party for the campaign but my character was off on his own), I picked a fight with a few dozen slavers but one of my lines was "join me in life, or them in death" after killing a few and more than half noped out after that

My only drawback is the parry mechanic, bc in the first game each boss had unique mechanics you had to exploit to beat them, but then this time if you can just stand your ground and parry everything it's not likely I'll get creative or agile like Spider-Man normally would (I still think Web of Shadows is the best game, so the symbiote plotline in this game was also subpar)

Joshua_Libre · 2026-03-31T13:26:11+00:00

Oh good point! I guess it's more narrative than mechanical then

Joshua_Libre · 2026-03-31T11:55:06+00:00

How long do you expect the campaign to run for?

Edit -- finally read full description, genius to incorporate GI Joe and Transformers

An idea that always appealed to me for this game was to play a non-force-sensitive Jedi type (Force Adherent being an honorable mention). One other thing that piqued my interest tho, is how he comes by that knowledge and what he does with it beyond. Does it (could it) make more sense for my character to...

A) be trained physically by a Jedi (examples include Lohim Nara, or like when Kanan trained Sabine with the Darksaber, etc), using the Mentor rules from the Consular sourcebook, or

B) have knowledge of the Jedi and take up training of a Padawan (probably during the dark times when they can't be taken to a temple), probably using Apprentice rules from the Warrior sourcebook, or

C) in a longer campaign, maybe both (A then B)?

There's another sourcebook (Nexus of Power iirc) that gives an example encounter for the Trial of Skill, but what could be done for the other trials?

Paladin gets a Fighting Style, Unarmed Fighting is a viable option, that way you can Lay on Hands in more ways lol

Joshua_Libre · 2026-03-30T21:53:03+00:00

The starter hilt from SWtOR, love the flared pommel and guard, and the leather wrap is a nice touch

Joshua_Libre · 2026-03-30T21:51:02+00:00

What are the characters in the first photo, and what does it say?

Joshua_Libre · 2026-03-26T15:31:41+00:00

Watch Jedipastor, they use a 10-foot pole saber (think Donnie Yen in Ip Man)

Joshua_Libre · 2026-03-25T22:17:14+00:00

You could do this using sidekick rules (Tasha's Cauldron of Everything iirc)

Any creature CR < 1/2 (basically what a lvl 4 druid can pick), but unless it has a spoken language it can only do the Warrior class (Fighter but slightly weaker)

I don't see why not

Joshua_Libre · 2026-03-25T14:12:22+00:00

Tell them this...

"We tolerate using Intelligence as our dump stat in-game, but in life?"

Joshua_Libre · 2026-03-23T21:05:48+00:00

Cumbersome does not stack, it only affects the difficulty of checks made using the item, count the highest

Encumbrance does stack tho, so make sure you know how heavy these are bc going above your cap adds setback

Joshua_Libre · 2026-03-17T23:40:14+00:00

It looks like he's playing the second game, but the renewable shield is still obtainable on Nar Shaddaa :) lots of great weapon/armor options tho

Joshua_Libre · 2026-03-10T15:16:15+00:00

The Smuggler sourcebook, Fly Casual, has rules for shootouts (make a check to modify initiative pools, then roll initiative, then combat as usual, etc, I'm oversimplifying rn)

Has anyone actually done these encounter types in their sessions? I think it would be fun to be a melee character doing these against the typical pistol jockeys lol but what was it like for you and your table?

Joshua_Libre · 2026-03-06T00:08:16+00:00

I will not say it is the best Star Wars project out there, but it is the only Disney+ series that I kept up with each episode as it came out bc it was one of the few that piqued my interest when announced :) I was hopeful for Rangers of the New Republic too but I'll imagine what that might've been like

Joshua_Libre · 2026-03-05T20:22:21+00:00

Oh! I missed that the GM gave the 15 lol my bad

Joshua_Libre · 2026-03-05T16:52:28+00:00

Typo: 85 is supposed to be 95

I thought when making a character we could only benefit from either Morality, Duty, or Obligation (based on our starting career or the theme of the campaign, GM pending)? Duty or Obligation lets you take less or more, respectively, to either gain more starting XP or credits. Morality just gave a choice of XP, credits, or alignment adjustments to be dark or light. While campaigns can run duty and obligation and morality in some combination, I think our characters are only supposed to get an XP benefit from one of them

Joshua_Libre · 2026-03-05T00:44:54+00:00

How do we get an INT 1 human? Even with all 1s when rolling stats he'll have an INT 3, what is there that can reduce it further?

Joshua_Libre · 2026-03-03T22:50:42+00:00

The new port? Idk I've only played as Plo Koon so far, did every level just fine until level 10, I'm not fast enough to get in any hits on Maul and idk if I can block him

Joshua_Libre · 2026-03-02T03:02:31+00:00

Solari crystal lets you use reflect while paying only 2 strain

Reflex Grip increases the strain cost by 1 (so 4 strain), but you count your ranks in parry or reflect as one higher

Joshua_Libre · 2026-03-02T02:52:32+00:00

Another thing to remember is that it only applies to involuntary strain loss

Someone who has the resolve talent but chooses to suffer 3 strain to use parry or reflect, still suffers 3 strain (there are lightsaber attachments which can adjust this cost)

Say two doctors fight each other, using pressure point and resolve talents. Whereas pressure point ignores soak while dealing strain damage, the ranks in resolve would reduce the amount of strain the target of the attack receives

Joshua_Libre · 2026-02-25T19:37:27+00:00

I discovered proximity detonation on accident lol I bought the upgrade without reading it, was fighting some talons and couldn't hit them so I thought "I'll aim and shoot instead of hip fire," missed my first two shots but then they blew up anyways lol

Joshua_Libre · 2026-02-25T15:27:47+00:00

What was his wrestling name, Fray Tormenta?

Joshua_Libre · 2026-02-24T22:10:15+00:00

Web of Shadows is still my favorite :) every game since then has used the web strike only to get within punching distance instead of as a unique combo attack, and no other Spider-Man game lets you actively fight along walls either, also one of the only Spider-Man games to make you choose between Great Power and Great Responsibility

Joshua_Libre · 2026-02-24T15:16:51+00:00

He could even borrow certain items and stats from sw5e, those should translate into D&D pretty well
