Segments... (flashes back to the glory days of 1st Edition AD&D) mmmm...

I'm wondering if anyone has a spreadsheet with every weapon in it. I can make one from Gry's PDF but that will take some time...

Take the "Any character wounded (or worse) by a quickdraw shot is in too much pain or too badly distracted to return fire", for example. Well, that's just silly. Any character wounded by any ...

The thing is, how do you define that a segment is over and another has begun. How soon can a character be eligible for his quickdrawing benefits? If there's a lull in combat and he holsters his weapon ...

but you also ditch the -1D MAP for drawing a weapon.

So making Jedi learn another lightsaber skill called Lightsaber Parry would slow down Jedi even more, in my book.
I use Lightsaber Parry instead of Lightsaber Combat. No one in our group likes LS Co ...

Even a standard Human can, as a starting character, start out with 6D Lightsabre skill ...
I'd never allow that in my game, personally. (I'm assuming "standard human" means non-Jedi.)

am i right on the following Example:
Dodge = 6D
Blaster = 5D

I shoot someone on my round and i roll 5D

I get shot at on the Storm troop round, the first tries to hit me
i roll Dodge 5D (first ...

...and you will have -D to all you skills, including strength
One of the game designers has said that wound penalties don't apply to STR rolls to resist damage. I think it was in one of the Star War ...

though I don't know if a cap is necessary. Any character that takes much more than that (or even that) out of their Attribute dice is going to be pretty badly off in every area when not using the For ...
