I'd strongly recommend you consider this house rule that I really feel helps.

I had a player that was keen on playing a Wookiee once. And in a very brief campaign with my children my son did the same. But I've generally encouraged players not to choose that race. Not because of them being blaster-proof, but I just felt that having the person never being able to really speak normally at the table would get really old really fast.


I like your solution!
I wish there was a different stat, like AC, that's used for absorbing damage. Seems like you might be on the right track. I think from now on I'm just going with "no, you can't be a Wookie", approach. Rolling Eyes

First round the characters win initiative, chuck grenades, combat over (pretty much).


First off, how far did the enemy set up? Most grenades are 30-40m max range to be tossed.
2nd, the cover should have made it harder for the party to get all of them in one go. Were their grenade rolls that good?

Yeah, the "Blaster-Proof Wookiee" is a problem more than a few of us have faced.

Thank you! I'll remember this one.
