But inless you are having brawl fights between someone at 4+2 str vs an average 2d str person, they shouldn't always be lethal... Even 4d vs 2d on average produces a wound..

Good point. I chose ...

I agree on tweaks being needed for Brawling / Stun damage. In the Star Wars Introductory Adventure Game there is a "Bar Room Brawling" scene in which they basically tell you to ignore the n ...

What about swimmers/burrowers and the like?

Good question. For aquatic species I would probably allow them to roll Movement since moving through water is as easy as walking is for humans. Burrowi ...

Unfortunately, there is no clear conversion in the RAW for AUs to SUs. A better approach would be to make it more general, based on positioning in the stellar system.

Good point. AUs aren't used ...

Ha! Anything that goes down the dark path of "attack of opportunity" rules may be a bad idea. I may have to go back to the drawing board. Wink

I have renamed the Running skill to Movement in my games since it also covers flight in species like Geonosians and Toydarians.

I have been experimenting with making it a Reaction skill. That is ...

Long-time reader, first time poster. I am a big fan of your Starship work!

On the subject of the solar panels, yeah I agree that the most canon friendly explanation is that they are solar collect ...
