Participants: Anyone
Timeslots: Late Afternoon
Scrutiny: N/A
Description: Be the best at cosplay.
Rules: There are three steps to this event, any advantage rolled can be used to add a Boost die to your next roll at a rate of 2 advantage per boost die, and threat adds a setback at a rate of 2 threat per setback. Triumph allows a single upgrade on the next roll per Triumph and a Despair upgrades the Difficulty by 1 per Despair.
First before you roll you must decide how much effort you put into the costume.
Bare Bones: You just use whatever you have on hand, this increases the difficulty by 1 for all rolls in this event but any Triumphs rolled double the effect but any Despairs also double the effect.
It's a Hobby: You spend 300 credits and get a decent costume together, there are no modifiers for this.
Yeah the Leather is Authentic: You spend 700 credits and have put a lot of time in your costume, this grants a boost die to all rolls in this event.
Below are bonus steps:
Sex Appeal: This is a bonus step, you try to jazz up the costume with some sex appeal, this adds a free Advantage to the final stage.
I am Vera Hawke: Another bonus step, you decide to cosplay as Vera Hawke and get a free additional Success from Jin Vaya in the final stage. If you get a Despair or Three Threat on the last stage of the event you offend her and get no points from her.
- Suiting Up: This is either a Knowledge Lore check or a Mechanics check versus 1 Challenge die and 1 Difficulty die. Success here means you have a good costume, and failure means you... create something and upgrades the difficulty on the third stage by 1.
- Don't damage the Wings!: Now you need to transport your costume to the convention, this is either a Streetwise, Negotiation, or Coercion check versus 1 Challenge die and 1 Difficulty die. Failure means you have issues getting your costume to the convention and are rushed to get it on for the judges. This adds two setback dice to the final stage of this event if the roll is failed on top of any other threat rolled.
- Look Fierce!: Now you need to impress the judges this is the big reveal! The player may make a Charm check to strut their stuff and look impressive, or they could use Athletics to make a great show of their skills, or a Coercion check to look fearsome and intimidating on the stage. The difficulty on the Check is 1 Challenge die and a setback due to being on stage with the lights and glare! Count how many successes you get, for this roll only, as the player with the most successes will win first and the next wins second and the and after that, wins third. Advantage/Threat and Triumph/Despair is used as a tie breaker.
The Judges
Jin Vaya is an easy judge and she gives everyone that participates an extra point for their score. Though she deducts a point if you went Bare Bones for her score.
Dango the Hutt is an exacting Judge and is hard to please, she is impressed by Sex Appeal and adds a point to the score but she isn't a fan of the Boob Knight so knocks off a point if you cosplay as Vera Hawke, it's a terrible show.
Satele Shan is here... because of reasons. She offers no bonuses but she is impressed if one goes Bare Bones, and adds a point for that. Sex Appeal does not work on her, she knocks off a point for that.
Total each Judge and then take the average of the scores, round down. So for example if you get done and earned 4 successes for 4 points with Sex Appeal and dressed as Vera Hawke then Jin gives you 6 points, Dango gives you 4 points, and Satele gives you 3 points then you get a total score of 4 overall.
Rewards/Outcome: First Place wins 2000 credits, Second place wins 1500 credits, and Third place wins 900 points. All three winnerss will get a chance to be on the Vera Hawke: Jedi Knight show as well!
