Questions for the GM

[Remmington Thalalas]

How do we figure the cost to craft weapons/armour?

[Moyr Ahaya]

Do synthesized crystals follow the same selling rules .4 base for Negotiation and .7 for Deception? For 4.5k as base price, and 2k base investment this runs dangerously close to below profitability or with shoddy margin, and I wonder if this is intended in this sector of the market. Since the price of crystals is halved, maybe the components too? Also, since this would look a lot like business, how much for protection fees to keep the Hutts at peace with it.

I am trying to work out an economic model that would tell me if it's worth a shot to try to earn this way or not really.

[Cole Ormont]

If I want to investigate further; what rolls/resources would I need?

Case by case for now.

Imperials are not going into the manufactured crystal market That's a Sith secret.

He glanced at Ashla. "Would it be possible to find out if Kidaja had any holdings separate from Dango? Generally speaking, but also I'm interested in knowing if the clinic hurt Dango's bottom line, or just Kidaja's."

Difficulty for Lore: Underworld and/or Streetwise for this check? Since, I was Kidaja's former slave, can I get a Boost die for more intimate knowledge?

[Dapper Dog]

Average difficulty, sure get a boost.

[Ashla Vyliis]

And the roll was made.

[Remmington Thalalas]

Can we do slicing on a holonet chat to prevent people from eavesdropping?

What is the roll for that?

[Cole Ormont]

Do my 2 advantages bring me any closer to identifying the compound (assuming it's in Niriti's bloodstream as well)?

[Zanebry Varliss]

Just a little something.

[Col. Hala Moraal]

Sorry about this, but private question

[Arsele Girard]

Can neutrals post in the Republic compound?

[Ashla Vyliis]

Can neutrals post in the Republic compound?

Yeah. There's a post with Galen (I think) chilling in the Jedi Enclave.

[Col. Hala Moraal]

[Cole Ormont]

I'm pretty sure Imperials and Republic aren't permitted in the opposing compounds, but I'm too tired right now to try a look up where I got that impression.

Correct. Posting is disabled in the Republic Compound for Imperial characters, and I imagine the same the other way around too.

[Nekoinu]

I think Imperials could too? It's technically listed as Open.

Open means that you can have an unlimited amount of threads in the same timeslot. Limited means that only one per timeslot.

[Remmington Thalalas]

Are there medical facilities in the Republic and Imperial compounds?

[Adrianaa Morindel]

What would the difficulty be to slice a republic system (from the inside) and reassign an SIS agent off of a case?

What would the difficulty be to slice the same system to then erase or rewrite a criminals history?

[Shaisha Vreysk]

Just a general question about the Saber Throw-talent since I'm having a hard time understanding it (a year into this game, and the system still confuses me lol):

Saber Throw (Force Talent)
The character may take the Saber Throw action, making a Lightsaber combat check as a Ranged Attack at one target within medium range, adding (Force Die) no greater than his Force Rating to the check. The character must spend (Dark/Light pip) and succeed on the check to hit his target: he may spend (Dark/Light pip) to have his weapon return to his hand after resolving the attack.

So, if I understand this correctly, you roll a Force die with your Lightsaber-roll, and if you produce Dark/Light pip (depending on who you are), you succeed on making the throw.
Then comes the confusing part for me, do you need to then produce a second Dark/Light pip to have the weapon return to your hand, in addition to the one used to making the attack in the first place?

[Adrianaa Morindel]

What would the roll need to be to find a Data Breaker? It's Rarity 6, and then since Nar Shaddaa is on a major trading lane, that's -1 rarity, and I have the Know Somebody talent, (going to buy it legally) which would lower it by another -1 to a total rarity of 4.

Also, I would like to use the Negotiation skill to talk the price down. Baseline is 1,000. Negotiation states it is an opposed Negotiation vs Cool or Negotiation. How will that work?

[Dapper Dog]

For something like guessing a Hard check and the Negotiation would be 2 Challenge and a 1 Difficulty die.

Daunting for both.

With 2 Challenge die and 2 Difficulty Die, this is a very secure Intelligence system. SIS isnt going to let anyone who isn't SIS into their stuff.

[Dapper Dog]

Are there medical facilities in the Republic and Imperial compounds?

Yes.

1 to Force point to make the throw and another to have it return to their hand, so 2 if you want to boomerang your weapon.
