Darktroopers?

[Robot Ron]

Does anybody have any stats/info about Imperial Darktroopers? All I know about them is what I gleaned from playing Dark Forces and reading part of Dark Empire 2.

Dark Troopers are droids? I always thought that they were some kind of cyborg or something. Odd... Anyways, my thinking is that since stormtroopers don't represent much of a threat to more powerful characters, Darktroopers could kick their bums.

Ron Ron Ron... You have to think like the Empire...

If the group isn't threatened by *ONE* Stormie... Give them two... Then four... Then eight. Gotta love the Binary system.

Then throw things like Darktroopers at them...

Then, after they're bored with that... Give them Stormies again...

A whole CARGO BAY FULL!!! Worked with my group's "Gods of the Universe" Campaign!!!

Even Crunch was scared... Well... After he killed over a dozen with his bare hands...

stormies have to be used in groups, 6-12 then they pose a bit of a problem, unless the group knows how to work together then you stormies just get shot up.

yeah remember that those guys can combine actions to fire upon your players which means there commander can say "take down That Dang Wookie he's shredding our Left Flanks" as the platoon turns to shoot at the wookie he'd be asking for a towel.

Dark Troopers came in three phases. Phase 1 was an exoskeltal droid with a shield and blade. Phase 2 was the production Dark Trooper, body armor, repulsorlift engine, flight jets, and an assualt weapon which fired plasma shells and explosive ro. Phase 3 was the largest phase as it could not only operate as a droid but also as an exosuit and included shoulder mounted missile tubes.

There are also darktroopers which appear in both Dark Empire II and the LucasArts game Rebellion. Both source agree that they are Force-enhanced stromtroopers, with Dark Empire II specifically stating their empowered by the dark side. In Dark Empire II their armor looks a little bulkier than standard stormtrooper armor, but that could be just the art style. Rebellion actually places them in armor which appears to be Phase 3 Dark Troopers. So it looks like the ultimate Darktroopers are a combination Phase 3 Dark Trooper droid exosuits and Darktroopers from the stormtrooper ranks. Really wish WEG had done a Dark Empire II sourcebook to go along with the Dark Empire sourcebook and then added an entry on these darktroopers.

But how does it work when several persons combine actions to hit one target? Do you roll once with the combined action bonus or does they all get a bonus to their shots?

By the chart, you total up the # of people, and see what the bonus is. EG as from revised, Every 3 people in the combining, grants +1d to the to hit and damage pool so for 4 people that would be 1d+1 to the highest die score. HE makes the roll with the bonus, and if hits the weapon damage AVERAGE (if using different weapons) gets the bonus.

So with it, you can cause MROE damage, but if the combined shot misses, they all missed.
