The Taris Event Chapter 2 OOC Thread

[Whiteness]

Syric's a grown ass man, he doesn't need a peacemaker and is insulted that Eli assumes otherwise. And he's drunk, drunk as shit.

And having a semi-pro fighter grab him in the middle of a drunken brawl does not send a clear message that the confrontation has ended. And an ion pistol is hardly a weapon against organic beings.

And yelling "Enough Syric, it's over" doesn't send a clear message that I'm ending the fight?

And an ion pistol, even doing half damage does more damage than most people do with their fists...

[Cuspar]

I'm at a course all day. Can I pretend I'm asleep through this brawl?

Yes. A strict policy of noninterference would probably be wise at this point.

It's not Eli's fight to end. Look, I don't care if Eli feels the need to butt in and retaliate, but Syric does. As drunk as he is I doubt he heard Eli, he was just focused on being grabbed by a fighter who constantly wants to spar people. He carries the ion pistol to blast droids and to shoot people without making them suffer other effects like a blaster pistol would. That's why he drew it on Cuspar instead of his blaster pistol.

[Whiteness]

When this is all over, Syric is going to wake up sore, open a new bottle of whiskey and wonder what the hell happened to SOD.

[Furiel]

Also I'm curious where Syric gets the +2 damage on his Ion pistol. It's a flat 3d6 weapon, he's not eligible for weapon specialization in it yet, and you only get half your heroic level for bonus damage, so unless I'm missing something it should have been 3d6+1. Makes no difference in the resulting damage this round, but may in the future.

Also I'm going to leave this decision up to Joun, but I've always assumed that combat gloves weren't full gloves, but like the one's MMAers wear, with the fingers past the first knuckle exposed, etc. And as such other than when I was sparring with people, in the ring where I'm not allowed to be wearing them, or performing some delicate task that they interfered with I planned to be wearing them full time. If you see combat gloves differently Joun then let me know because right now in my mind I would be wearing them and obviously me having, or not having them would make a big difference in the combat.

[Whiteness]

+1 for base attack, +1 for point blank feat

I agree with your combat gloves understanding, that was how I read it. And in looking at your character sheet to see what kind of damage I would get I also had a question, where do you get Empower Weapon as a talent? Isn't that for the prestige class Force Adept? Are we allowed to use prestige class talents?

[Blackferne]

You are wearing your combat gloves and they have the fingers cut out.

Whiteness, his class is a weird hack job he threw together. Basically he should have damage output on par with a jedi of same level using a lightsaber, and the empower weapon is how he charges up his rebar/combat gloves.

[Whiteness]

gotcha

[Furiel]

It's part of the hack jedi-variant class I made up. Basically I'm more of a force adept as a base class instead of as a prestige, but I've got a bunch of restrictions on my force usage as well. Like I'll never use a lightsaber, I can't take force powers that effect other objects or beings so no force push, force lighting, no move object, etc, etc because those aren't part of my teachings.

End result is a melee combat monster with some extra skills while losing alot of the versatility that normally comes with the Jedi.

[Furiel]

Also as far as the combat goes, Dood went to the cockpit, and you said it was his turn. Wouldn't him leaving count as a withdrawl from combat so therefore unless someone goes to engage him again he should be removed from initiative and the only ones in combat now would be me, Syric and Klak since SOD is DOA and a non-combatant.

I'm giving Dood the opportunity to comeback in upon hearing an ion pistol fire. Let me poke him on IM.

[Reese]

And Klak is leaving unless someone takes an opportunity shot. Per my previous instructions he feels guilty and heads to his new job of Shit Coordinator.

And also someone may want to approach me (ELI) about my +7 to treat injury.

He's probably asleep. He is lazy on Fridays.

So you are saying setting up a robocaller to spam his cellphone is a better idea?

nifty

as a fellow combat gloves wearer, where did your +4 for damage come from? I understand Empower Weapon adds an additional die of damage and martial arts 1 add another die step to get the 2d6.

2d6 base, +2 for 14 strength, +1 for the gloves and +1 for half my level damage bonus all PCs get.

Yeah, "barehanded" I hit like a cargoship full of dewbacks

[Whiteness]

Ah, I didn't realize you added STR in there. I was hoping I missed something for myself.

Nope, I'm like the Muhammed Ali of the Star Wars Universe

And after my first punch I think I'm starting to hear a little old school LL Cool Jay in the background

I know the song you're thinking of. I personally like to think you're referencing "Around the Way Girl".

You came one damage point from hitting his damage threshold.

That was an average roll too, I think if I crit and do near max damage I could actually kill him in 1 punch...

And y'all wanted Eli to be my moral compass?!
