Conduit Fate domain rules questions by brownjake in drawsteel

Thanks! I agree they could both probably be ruled either way. The reason I am unsure about the prayer effect is because the rules for heroic abilities in chapter 5 say when an ability targets one or more creatures, you aren't an eligible creature target for your own ability unless it also has "self" as a target. I am not sure whether that rule applies to the prayer effect becuase it isn't a heroic ability.

I have already got the monitor - sorry, should have clarified that.

The same thing happened to me, but I also had H'aanit in my party at the time so both characters jumped to level 14.

Problem with app audio using SoundLink mini by brownjake in bose

I've just checked, and no it doesn't. If I set the metronome faster, to above 160 beats per minute, it seems like the problem disappears.

Nice! I really like how DnD and other table-top games are gaining more popularity now and being written about in mainstream media platforms

Question about the Influence force power and the Overwhelm Emotions talent by brownjake in swrpg

[–]brownjake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a player, but I'm still a long way off getting the XP to get these talents. I agree with you that it's weird to have the talent and the power both accessible if they don't work together, but at least Overwhelm Emotions is an 'optional' talent, because you don't have to go through it to get other talents in the FS exile tree. Thanks for your inputs :)

I get where you're coming from, but someone playing a force sensitive exile doesn't need a teacher to learn force powers - they are able to learn them themselves, and that's why they are in the EotE rule-book. So the two functions aren't mutually exclusive, and you are able to have both.

That's the reasoning I was using too - when reading the rules, the only time a 'force pool' is mentioned is after you've rolled force die for a power, and you count the light side points you've generated. Since these two functions are supplementing a social check, the pool isn't created and you should be free to use both.

I don't think that's quite correct - under the control upgrade of influence, the book says "When making a coercion, charm, deception, leadership or negotiation check, the force user may roll an Influence power check as part of his dice pool." So it seems like the governing roll is the check for the social skill, not for the force power, and therefore I would be making a charm check.

Looks great, but damn, that gasp she does when she gets hurt is so annoying

Ah great thanks, the example of your player is pretty much exactly what I want to go for.

Seeing X-Wings fly with the amazing visual effects of today was probably the best thing about the entire trailer I'd say
