 |
|
As I continue to convert the best parts of EotE to D6 mechanics I figured I would start posting them so that people could comment and make suggestions.
| Quote: | BAD PRESS
Ranked: No
Time to Use: several hours, days, weeks or even months.
Description: Once per session, the character may take the Bad Press action by choosing a specific organization and making a difficult Con check. If he succeeds, members of this organization have all their skill checks reduced by -1 pip, plus -1 pip per full 5 point increment above the target number, until the end of the session. When he does this, the player must explain how the PC disseminated the propaganda such that it has affected his targets. The chosen organization must be narrow and cohesive enough to be affected by bad publicity—for example, the Imperial Navy or the Corensla Kajidic. The Bad Press action cannot affect all members of single group as broad as the entire Empire or one as fractious as the Hutts. The PC must have time and means to spread misinformation, and cannot use this action during a combat encounter.

This is an interesting notion. The mechanic itself seems sound, though I must admit that I've never though of using FFG mechanics as advantages and disadvantages. Personally, I don't use the ad/disad system, so you'll have to forgive me if my question doesn't fit the context.
Usually, don't ad/disad mechanics include a level of 1,2, or 3 indicating what value they have in terms of pip cost or equal disadvantage cost? Or is that what the "Ranked: No" indicates?

I also do not use Advantages/Disadvantages. Correct, no, means no ranks, it is bought one time.

I've always liked the White Wolf version of this and thought that if it could be made to work in Star Wars somehow it would be a fun aside.

Mojomoe was planning on converting the FFG Talent Trees for D6 use here. There haven't been any recent updates, though.
