ya me and my friends fudge fudge fudge, ignor cp, half the time if a guy dies that we all wanted to live we just over look it


most of the time i base my damage off of 2001 rules like the troopers weapons(thats were i got 3d6+2 for a light saber) and i mean a impact rifle has like 2d6+3 or somthing so i said "well a halo assault rifle isint that good"

thats were im getting lots of my stats...is that a bad source?

I used to run battles like that when I didn't understand skill. Everything either didn't kill you or did, no other way. They went a bit faster.

Yep. That's the Cannon Fodder rule in a nutshell.

Heroes survive lightsaber attacks by using redshirts, not by having higher armor. If he runs out of redshirts it's time for him to die.
Oh, neat.

But a beamsaber would have 1d6+2 according to chapter 3, so a Hero would survive a beamsaber attack because of his higher armor most of the time.

I was just thinking of a Jedi and a Sith being Heroes, going back and forth with lightsabers. If they're in a personal duel and they're equally skilled, a lightsaber of 2d6 would keep them going back and for for a couple turns until one of their parries didn't do enough.
