GM Questions and Stuff

[Dapper Dog]

One question for figuring out equipment here. Basically - Will armour inserts be a thing after all?

Thanks!

Yes, but they will have a comparable price to armored clothing.

[Blai Frayus]

Yes, but they will have a comparable price to armored clothing.

That'd be 1000 for the attachment then?

[Dapper Dog]

Yes.

[Blai Frayus]

Phew, finally added equipment! Now just BG to go.

One more question though - for modding/ item creation before game start, we need to have money available prior to game start (i.e. before receiving Session 1 money), right? That's what it sounds like, but just to make sure.

Thanks!

[Dapper Dog]

Yes starting characters do have some money.

Should be listed in character creation.

Subject: Obligation

Apprentice/Sidekicks/Ally

...

During play there may be opportunities to get an apprentice/sidekick/ally either through role play, events, or by spending 10 Influence.

I'm guessing the mention of Influence is just something left in from Ziost. Or will there be an equivalent spendable intangible mechanic here?

[Dapper Dog]

Ziost copy pasta.

Question about signature items, attachments, and mods. So mods have to be paid for and rolled on. Do attachments have to be purchased from credit pool, or are they part of the signature item at start. If thy are part, is there a limit on attachment/total cost of signature item?

[Dapper Dog]

I typically allow at most two attachments, but it really just depends. Best to post what you are looking for when it comes to a signature item in your PF.

Is it common knowledge that killiks are a sapient species, or do we still think they're just really big pests?

[Dapper Dog]

Is it common knowledge that killiks are a sapient species, or do we still think they're just really big pests?

Umm... it's complicated.

Most on Alderaan consider them intelligent pests, and very dangerous plus they abduct people and make them into bug slaves or something.

Can our sidekick benefit from the Mentor bonus if the PC is teaching them a Fore Power they already know?

Sure.

Question about the Timeline:

Tensions are high on Alderaan as the tail end of the spring season approaches, the annual Festival of a Thousand Flowers is always a wonderful beautiful time especially as people settle into the idea of an uneasy peace. Still politics swirls about as House Thul continues to grow closer to Panteer driving a wedge between Panteer and Ulgo; while House Organa tries to keep the peace. Though that becomes more difficult as Imperial backers of House Thul show growing influence on the planet, although barred from deploying military forces there is a small delegation lead by Lord Draconis, an influential Sith in the service of Darth Tenebrous, strictly on the planet as an advisory council to House Thul and Panteer. There is also the question of succession as the Queen is expected to announce who the next heir will be.

Is Lord Draconis on planet or did Lana Beniko replace them?

[Dapper Dog]

Replaced by Lana I thought I fixed that.

Would a High Associate of a Great House have to pay for their own housing and/or docking fees?

[Dapper Dog]

Would a High Associate of a Great House have to pay for their own housing and/or docking fees?

Docking yes, housing is free as noted in my announcement thread.

[Blai Frayus]

General question - for suitors it's assumed we're sleeping in the rooms set out for them, right? Would it be frowned upon for us to stay somewhere else?

Most on Alderaan consider them intelligent pests, and very dangerous plus they abduct people and make them into bug slaves or something.

Also on this - would a Xenobio roll help determine how much one knows about them? Could do that in the PF if that helps.

EDIT: Adding another question -

A character can make a Knowledge Education or Underworld at Hard difficulty to increase this pay by 100 credits per success and 50 credits per advantage; if the roll is failed reduce the amount by fifty credits plus another 25 credits for each Threat. A Triumph doubles the pay and a Despair halves the total amount of pay.

I assume this roll doesn't take a time slot? Can we roll this for Session 0 now during pregame, or should we wait for actual game start? And last - can Intense Focus be used here? If so, at which time do we assume the Strain from using it comes up?

Thanks!

[Dapper Dog]

Stay wherever you want that you can logically stay.

You can get more info on Killiks with a roll, sure.

I woukd assign a time slot to the job roll, no rolls on Day 0 and I'd have to look up what intense Focus does.

In the Suitor's Mixer:

1. Does Noble Regalia apply to both step 1 and step 2, or only step 2? [Noble Regalia: Downgrades difficulty of social checks to interact with nobility or subordinates once.]

2. Do you get a Queen's Rose if you succeed at gaining Suitor Points (for yourself or someone else), or do you choose to forego Suitor Points to get the Queen's Rose?
