He is still careful.
Yeah, ship upgrades are pricy. The good news is there are enough of you to skip labor costs.
There is an upgrade I recommend as generally useful. Combat thrusters will give capital ships (like Star Destroyers) a -10 chance to hit you.

I don't blame you, I am sure the rewards for Jedi are very high and w are a bunch of spacers so if just one of us is untrustworthy it could be a problem!

We may want to acquire these first then if we will be doing a lot of high profit high risk jobs like this one. :-)
A bunch of skalliwags!
The dice are not being kind to you with the Force, Jace.
I know.
I'll get the round summary posted tomorrow morning. It was a long day of work.
Is the game dead?
We last heard from GM Phntm on Friday and weekends are typically slow on the boards, I wouldn't call this dead yet.
The site has also been down a LOT this weekend.
The Halloween weekend got busier than anticipated. My mother also came up to visit yesterday, so real life's been crazy. Today we shall have a return to normalcy.
We start our Thanksgiving vacation after school today. I should be on a bit more but I might have to travel, my dad might need heart surgery in Colorado.
Okay.
By the way, due to Thanksgiving here in the US, there is no expectation of posting tomorrow. Spend time with friends and family.
Looks like bypass before the New Year.
So, how long would a trip to Krai Ven Station and back take? Although there is also the time it will take to find and rescue Fialla.
Well, you're fortunate that Krai Ven station is close to your location. Depending on how long it takes you to rescue Fialla, you might make it back in the week.
Well, at least it is only Jeren's share that is at stake, right? The rest got paid, or at least I assume so.
No I believe we withheld everyone's share, since we don't know how much of the final payment Jeren's jewel is worth yet.
Oops. Sorry guys.
Router dead. Back online hopefully tomorrow.
How close are we to leveling?
Hey guys, I got sick this weekend, which is why no update. Good news, you're actually level 2 now. Get leveled, update either early tomorrow or midday (EST).
Oh, cool. Will get to it. :-)
Hey, Jace, this is a good opportunity to clean up/correct your character sheet.
I am trying to figure out whether I want to multiclass into Scoundrel or stick with Noble, before eventually / probably going into Independent Droid.
I don't love the idea of Multiclassing but the Scoundrel has talent trees that are far more fitting. Most of the Noble Specializations are based around Charisma / Manipulation which isn't really my bag (both as a droid and a player). I was vaguely expecting there to be more of them based around Education / Knowledge. Like some kind of Explorer / Academic? Alas!
Lineage seems the closest and has some useful things, so that could be an option. But I may well go first into the Scoundrel (Outlaw Tech) tree. While I could see sticking with Noble for level 2 to get a skill feat, getting a talent based around mechanics feels like something that will have more value for me.
I'm doing a quick dip in Scout myself, mostly because it makes sense with Daaneth's background but there are a few good talents as well. Unfortunately it screws me out of a normal BAB progression which I'm not too thrilled about you can't have everything I guess. I'm not usually to keen on multiclassing either but it bothers me that I have virtually nothing to show from my history as a hunter up to this point.
Yeah, I'm at least lucky in that I can not care about BAB progression.
This is one of the things that I despise about the d20 system - slightly less so with a game like this where there isn't Spellcasting - but the approach of "Oh you want to multiclass? F#!* you, penalties to everything" is super not great.
The 3.5 book "Unearthed Arcana" introduced a way of doing Fractional Base Attack Bonuses to help cut down on the penalties, but sadly I don't think any d20 system games actually adopted it. Basically it works such that each level, a Wizard gets 0.5, a Rogue gets .75, and a Barbarian gets 1. So if you're a Rogue 2 / Wizard 1, you have 1.5 + 0.5 for a total of +2 instead of just having +1 from Rogue and nothing at all from Wizard.
I vaguely get it in the sense of "Not wanting a player to take 1 level of every class and be awesome at everything", but frankly, if you have players like that, they're going to exploit the rules no matter what they are. Even this game makes some assumptions that you will multiclass, because it specifies what you get of the Feats, Skills, and Defenses, but then it just goes ahead and says, "Yeah, your BAB is going to suffer." And including the Prestige class, I'll be in 3 different classes. I can't imagine how much it would suck if I was actually going to try and do damage.
Bah, rant over. I'm just not into the idea of penalizing creativity.
[EDIT] Also I've decided that I am going into Scoundrel, I'll have my new level stuff posted tonight!
Updated Jarl to Level 2. Max HP?
The most significant choice at this level for Jarl was his Bonus Feat. I took Skill Focus - Pilot. As I will be the Pilot I figured that is something I better be damn good at!
I'll update my profile tomorrow morning, as it is late, but here are the changes.
HP: unless it is MAX.
BAB: +0
Will: +1. Plus gains for Level.
Skills: Gains for Level.
Bonus Feat: Point Blank Shot
New Class Skills: Acrobatics, Stealth
New Talent: Fast Repairs. "Whenever you jury-rig and object or vehicle, the vehicle gains a number of temporary HPs equal to the result of your Mechanics check. Damage is subtracted from these HPs first, and temporary HPs go away at the end of encounter."
I will try to level him tomorrow night. Been a crazy day and tomorrow will be even worse.
Oh, a question: How do we do hit points again?
No multi classing for me, I am thinking of taking the SkilL Focus feat, my UTF rolls for this character are pretty low,
Level Up: When you level up for new HP, you can choose to either roll or take half your hit die+1 (e.g. d10 hit die is 6 new HP). If you choose to roll, you must accept the result of the roll. Please remember to double-check the prerequisites for your talents and feats, as well.
Nevermind my question. I have just found your level up guidelines.
Thanks Castor, will adjust my HP accordingly.
Hmmm, looks like I forgot to post my multi class house rule.
If you either already have all of a class's starting feats or none fit your character, you may instead take Skill Training (as the feat) in one of the new class's skills.
I can look into fractional BAB as well. Might be worth implementing.

Oooh great! In that case, instead of getting Point Blank Shot, I'll take Skill Training with my new Stealth skill. Being a droid, I'll probably play it more as "Droids are everywhere, I am acting as a droid would be expected to" and blending in rather than "lurking in the shadows", if that works.
I will stick with Jedi myself, but if you want to check fractional BAB, take a look at the relevant system in Pathfinder Unchained. Might be of interest.

Just letting everybody know, this week will be very slow for me when it comes to Paizo. Putting in a lot of overtime at work, and family is coming up this week for an early Christmas gathering. Will try to update when I can, but since my phone hasn't been wanting to connect to the internet at work, not sure how much that will be.
JJ Abrhams, I want my money back.
HIP HIP HOORAY ITS CHRISTMAS VACATION!
Merry Christmas
Just checking in. Away from home and the internet is not as reliable as I expected. I'll be back Sunday but there's been an unexpected death in the family while we were away so it'll probably be a couple more days before I resume a regular posting schedule.
Hope you're all enjoying the holidays.
