Re: The Taris Event Chapter 2 OOC Thread
It can understand basic, but cannot speak it. The vocabulator will only let you give a voice to robots capable of speaking the language. And it would be really weird to throw one on a utility droid anyway since I imagine you will just hook it up to the ship for instructions on what to clean/repair.Whiteness wrote:Am I wrong in thinking that adding a vocabulator will let this thing speak Basic? I would think mechanic-Syric would know better than Whitey. Just wondering whay the kid is confused.

Re: The Taris Event Chapter 2 OOC Thread
I took it to mean the vocabulator was standard on droids that speak the language, so it could be added to other droids to allow it to emulate speech that it already understands. I didn't see any restrictions in the book but if it won't work in any forseable way then let me know so Syric can notice the incompatibility and get his booze money back.Blackferne wrote:It can understand basic, but cannot speak it.

If it doesn't work on the droid, maybe we can try it on the gungan.

Re: The Taris Event Chapter 2 OOC Thread
So I've been stuck at work and was researching the vocabulator thing, and I think I should be able to add it. I haven't found anything to imply that it functions differently from how I read it, everyone seems to treat it as just another droid accessory. It is the hardware that lets them speak. If R2 had one we could have heard him speak. Thoughts?
Not trying to beat a dead horse, I'm just bored and stuck until our long distance trunk comes back up so our call center can take calls again.

Well on page 193 of the core rulebook it describes the Vocabulator like this:Whiteness wrote:So I've been stuck at work and was researching the vocabulator thing, and I think I should be able to add it.

And you droid: (pg 89 Kotor supplement)Vocabulator: The droid is equipped with a speaker that enables it to emulate speech rather than simply spout machine code. This device is standard if the droid has the ability to speak any language other than binary.
andLanguages Basic (understand only), binary)
The reason I was saying the clerk was confused was that the droid you bought is used to being a quiet roomba/repair bot so anyone wanting it to talk would seem strange. And they "(understand only)" description in the languages made me think it was not programmed to express thoughts in basic, just receive commands in basic."Cheap, relatively skilled, and capable of operating quietly and subtly around living beings..."
If you really want to have a vocabulator on the droid I suppose we can allow it, a use computer and mechanics checks (DC 15 on each) to get it installed.

I read the (understand only) to mean that it did not have a vocabulator. If one was installed, it would not have that restriction.

I "found" PDFs of two other manuals (Scavenger's Guide to Droids and Jedi Academy Training Manual). Is there a place for me to drop them so everyone can download a copy if they wanted?

In reference to the small fortune of medical supplies being purchased, I have +7 to heal since I'm trained in it. Other than real serious injury it is likely I can roll to perform field work with no more than a medkit.
