Typically if WEG has done something I leave it completely alone. But I just wanted to feel out general sentiments when this one had very little in the ways of mechanics.

If Wizards offers some sensible mechanics to make this more interesting, I don't see why we shouldn't expand that entry a bit.

Field Food Processor
Model: Applied Military Industries Field Food Processor
Type: Food decontamination processor
Cost: 1,500
Availability: 1
Game Notes: Field food processors allow a soldier to take local flora and fauna and turn them into a thick, tasteless paste. However, the filtration units in the processor provide a +3D+1 to all strength rolls to resist poisoning or contamination from local toxic water and organic materials.
Source: Galaxy at War (page 47)
Personal Field Tent
Model: Karflo Corporation L-8 Field Tent
Type: Personal Shelter
Cost: 500
Availability: 2
Game Notes: The personal field tent allows for easy transportation, and expands to accommodate one humanoid-sized character. When sealed, it provides a +3D to survival rolls to resist the effects of heat and cold. It also contains one hour of breathable atmosphere in cases of airborne toxins. Special filaments on the exterior also provide limited camouflage, adding +2 to hide rolls to conceal the tent.
Source: Galaxy at War (page 47)
Plasma Bridge
Model: T’Cri Industries
Type: Personal Shelter
Cost: 12,500
Availability: 3
Game Notes: The plasma bridge must be hooked up to a generator or constant power supply. When activated, a bridge 10 meters wide and up to 200 meters long is extended from a plasma generator. This bridge provides a surface for troops to cross over difficult or otherwise impassable terrain. If the generator is destroyed or deactivated, the plasma bridge has enough power stored for two rounds. If another power supply is not provided, the bridge shuts down and any characters on the bridge will fall.

Proximity Flare
Model: Karflo Corporation Easy Alert-b2
Type: Early warning flare
Cost: 50
Availability: 1
Game Notes: The proximity flare has a spike on one end allowing it to be placed securely on the ground, and the other end contains the flare emitter. Whenever a character or creature as large as a small child or larger steps within 5 meters of the flares sensors, the flare launches casting light in a 15 meter radius foiling an attempt to sneak into the area. A character can avoid setting off the flare’s sensors with a sneak roll of 25 or higher.

Dark vision is not thermal, infrared, ultraviolet or any other section of the spectrum.
Dark vision is not a "all in one" generic catch phrase for night vision either, they are quite specific in what it does.
It is black and white only so there must be some light to discern colors, (which makes no fricken sense at all as it contradicts itself within the same sentence.)it is otherwise like normal vision and a creature with dark vision can function with no light at all.
WEG already gave the races/creatures their various types night vision while WOTC screwed it up in their system.
Why screw with WEG to fit SAGA, seems like just more work that unless the people already have the saga books or it is all explained that work would go mostly unused.
I don't use any conversions that change WEG to fit Sagas rulings myself. |
I don't understand why people get so worked up about game mechanics or stats they don't like. If you don't like them, just change them. I don't use "Dark Vision". I use infravision and ultravision. Species may have neither, one, the other, or both. I base my decision for each species on the fluff text available about the species, and my own biological knowledge.
I don't use any stats, published by WotC, WEG, homebrewed or converted, that I don't like. Yes, I've even restatted and house ruled tons of WEG stuff because I feel it was statted wrong in the first place.

It's loaded with fluff. It's got mini-adventures and even a complete campaign outline. So loads of good stuff. It's got TONS of gear. Plus there are interesting suggestions as to how to integrate battle stations into a game, and how a GM can utilize ground vehicles without them just mowing down the party.
If you're running a military oriented campaign, I'd say that this is book a valuable resource even for the D6'er. |
I've gotten this book now. It is pretty cool, for a d20 book. But I feel that Scum and Villiany and the Rebellion Era Campaing Guide are the two best Saga books so far.
Again, thank you cheshire and Gry Sarth for all you do!

Optional Rule: Cybernetic Prosthesis and upgrades
Most cybernetic replacements are just that, simple replacements of a lost limb, or other body part that is designed to exactly mimic the original. However, in some places of the galaxy characters can find underground surgeons willing to design and install enhancements. Such prosthetic limbs have special features and if you are using the upgrade rules from the Scum and Villainy conversion guide, then you may treat prosthetics as having 1 free upgrade slot. Most cybernetic prosthetics can benefit from the following universal upgrades: cloaked, dual gear, environmental sealing, extra power source, secret compartment, storage capacity, and ion-shielding.
Source: Galaxy at War (page 48)
Cyborg Construct -- Cracken’s Rebel Field Guide (page 31)
Subcutaneous Comlink
Model: BioTech Subcutaneous Comlink
Type: Embedded comlink system
Skill: Medicine: cyborging (to install)
Cost: 4,000 (3,000 surgery cost)
Availability: 2, R
Difficulty: To install: Easy
Game Notes: The subcutaneous comlink transmits and receives signals through the character’s auditory and vocal organs. It allows the character to send and comlink transmissions with only the slightest of vocalizations. The benefit is that he or she can send and receive comlink transmission with such slight noise that they cannot be heard by others.

Prosthesis upgrades:
Ion Shielding
Type: prosthesis upgrade
Skill: Medicine: Cyborging (to install)
Difficulty: to install: Moderate
Cost: 1,000
Availability: 2
Upgrade slot cost: 1
Game Notes: The ion shielding protects the prosthetic limb from all ion damage. For a character with prosthetics to be completely protected from ion damage, then all of that character’s cybernetic prosthetics must have the ion shielding.
Source: Galaxy at War (page 50)
Optional Rule: Total cybernetic replacement
There are some instances where a being has suffered such extensive damage that almost all of the organic components must be replaced. Should a being suffer incredible damage, but the vital organs still remain in sufficient working condition, they may have a series of prosthetic and life-support surgeries that would constitute a total cybernetic replacement. General Grievous is the galaxy’s best known total cyborg, though Darth Vader’s damage was so extensive that some have considered him to have had a total cybernetic replacement.
In an instance where a character would normally die, that character may have the option of spending a Force Point to stay alive long enough for his companions to transport him to a medical facility to attempt a complete cybernetic replacement. The complete changeover surgery is long and complicated. It requires six separate Very Difficult (A)Medicine or cyborging rolls. If any one of the rolls fails, then the character dies. If all six rolls are successful, then the character has the same stats as before the injuries. However, the character gains a Hybrid Cyborg special ability (see below).
Hybrid Cyborg – A character with the hybrid cyborg special ability may make install any droid upgrade or attachment with the excpetion of those that would enhance a droid’s heuristic processor. The cyborg chasis contains a life-support system that makes the character immune from any environmental hazards such as inhaled poisons.
|
Currently, I'm waiting for someone to get back to me on the Wizard's board about the cost of the total cybornetic replacement. But otherwise, I'm more than open to comments. Most of the cyborg stuff looks like it's just repeats of stuff we've had before.

Hey Gry, have you taken a look at pages 98-101? I know that you had done something on the sentury gun, converting it as a droid, iirc. However, do you need me to pickup from there on 99-101?

I'll assume that the stuff on 98-101 isn't done, and I'll just hop in and do it, and Gry, you can let me know if you've already got it later.

Don't apologize. Real life comes first, and we all have to work before we play. If you started putting this stuff before your real life, then there would be problems.
Just let me know if there's anything else that you usually cover that you would like me to pick up.

Okay, this should be it!
After looking at some other stats in Galaxy at War, I’m going to change the mortar range to
| Quote: | | Range: 75-500/1.8km/3.7km |
I looked at some stuff on different mortar rounds that are currently in use today, and the minimum and maximum range is pretty spot on for the ranges listed in Galaxy at war.

Razor Wire
Model: Typical razor wire
Type: battlefield terrain hazard
Scale: Character
Cost: 10 per meter
Availability: 1
Damage: 3D
Game Notes: First, razor wire increases the difficulty of any terrain by three difficulty levels. For example, if terrain is Easy, it increases it to Difficult (see Star Wars Roleplaying Game 2nd Edition, Revised and Expanded page 101-103). Second, if a character fails the movement roll, the razor wire inflicts 3D damage on the character.
Source: Galaxy at War (page 98)
Fragmentation Wire
Model: Typical razor wire
Type: battlefield terrain hazard
Scale: Character
Cost: 100 per meter
Availability: 1
Radius: 2m
Damage: 3D
Game Notes: Fragmentation wire looks very similar to razor wire, and is most often intermixed with razor wire on a battle field. It requires a Difficult Perception or search roll to notice the difference between the razor wire and fragmentation wire. If a character fails a movement roll when moving into an area with fragmentation wire, then the wire detonates, doing 3D damage to all characters within two meters.

Repulsorlift Inhibitor
Model: Norsam CD-551
Type: Repulsorlift disabling mine
Scale: Speeder
Cost: 500
Availability: 2, X

Game Notes: The repulsor inhibitor suppresses all repulsorlift generators and brings all repulsorlift vehicles to a halt, grinding them to the ground. If a repulsorlift vehicle manages to strike the exact place where the repulsorlift inhibitor is buried, it discharges an ion burst with 3D speeder scale damage.

Smart Mine
Model: Merr-Sonn F4-Q
Type: programmable mine
Scale: Character
Skill: Demolition
Cost: 500
Availability: 2, X
Blast Range: 2/5/9/14
Damage: 5D/4D/3D/2D
Game Notes: The smart mines come equipped with a number of sensors that can evaluate heat, infrared, ground tremors, and other information evaluated in a processor. With a Moderate demolitions roll, a character can program the mine to operate within certain parameters. The mine may be programmed with a limited blast radius, set to only detonate with the pressure from a being upwards of a certain weight or size, or when there are only a limited number of beings within the blast radius. Smart mines are also equipped with an IFF system that allow it to distinguish allied units.

Chesh, you think you're all done with your part of the conversions? Can you send be a document with all your stats so I can start working on the final edit?
Thanks a bunch.

Sure, if you're finished with that, hand it over and I'll deal with it as soon as I get some available time.
