Hey so my Mando player wants to have a Mythosaur mount (Boba eat your heart out). But there doesn’t seem to be a thing like it on the wiki nor the untested. Should I reskin the Krait Dragon or build something new. Cause the things are big. No exact height I can find but the only em example is “city sized”.  That’s a whole lot bigger than colossal. So how do I make Godzilla and other Kaiju like the Mythosaur?

The system is pretty much set in stone around this topic. Racial abilities, Talents and Feats are all geared for the Defenses. Cause this system was the prototype for D&D 4th Ed. If you want to do things like you’re familiar with you have two simple options.

Option 1:Play Revised. It’s 3.5 with a Star Wars skin. And has all the rules you are familiar with.

Option 2. Use the Hazard Rules found in Unknown Regions. Your players can make skill checks to mitigate the effects you are looking for. For instance endurance DC 15 to shake off the addictive qualities of Spice success will increase the character’s Fort by 2

Also see Skill Challenges. From Galaxy of Intrigue. You can make some pretty fun encounters and give your players opportunities to affect the outcomes.

I hope this helps.

So I had this thought that was kinda buggin me. How come there isn't a dedicated stat block for Darth Vader as a pilot? I thought about this as I was working on the villain of my own game. There is simply not enough feats to make credible threat in space. So I went ahead and made a separate stat block and put him in a TIE ADV prototype. I simply replaced double attack (lightsabers) with (Heavy weapons) replaced rapid strike with Burst fire, things like that. But that just itched at my head how come nobody did that with Vader? So I am looking for advice to write up "The Most Dangerous Star-Pilot in the Galaxy" to recreate his encounter with Phoenix Home in Rebels. Can he take out a Pelta class and 6 R-22s single handedly and in 6 turns without crits?

Some things I like are his Ace Pilot levels, But he might need 3 of em.
I need to up his damage output so he can reliably shoot down A-wings and X-Wings with one attack.
Since this version of Vader is for vehicle combat, his force powers and Lightsaber skills are going to be a bit of an after thought. Possibly take the double attack feat twice.
Vader's defenses are so good anyway he would be nearly impossible to hit much less shoot down. Vehicular evasion would make the Pelta's point defenses useless.
Any thoughts on this. 

Oh one more thing, I was playing with the math and I added the CL of a ship and its pilot and divided by 2. this gave me a pretty descent challenge rating when accounting for Ref Def, Feats, Talents, extra attacks and such. I there another way it was supposed to be done or am I grasping at straws?   

My party is based on ONE thing and it’s the hill they will die on. A mandalorian with a heavy blaster rifle equipped with bi pod and retractable stock. He makes 4 AoO with Heavy fire Zone while prone From the noble. Then before the round is over on his turn combat expertise resets and he makes 4 more when another group of gammoreans charge in. Is this right?

Ok so this is kinda complicated. The the finale of this Level 3 adventure is inspired by the Clone Wars episode Bounty Hunters. I drew a lot of narrative from Firefly Heart of Gold. So this is unapologetically Seven Samurai. The party finds a village in trouble and in exchange for their help they will be given a lift off world. I gave them a few days to explore the village and make a plan. This included a training montage and building traps and explosives. They even have a "Tank" of their own from part one of this adventure. The Raiders are a swoop gang led by a Rodian Pirate that wears partial Mandalorian Armor. After the Rodian delivers his ultimatum, they attack the next day. This is where I need help.

So in order to save as much headache as possible, I arranged the defenders as a hazard that attacks three squares each at the end of each round at +5 2d6 damage half on miss.
I put Key NPC's on the map as separate events happening during the battle. I can use some fresh ideas for mini encounters during the battle. This is so the heroes can be more heroic and I don't have to waste time rolling against myself. But my real problem comes from the raiders themselves. They come in in three waves. several on foot and 6 swoops, Wave two is a Skiff with laser cannon and 6 more on foot escorted by 3 swoops, and finally wave 3 is the Rodian and two Swoops, That is a lot to keep track of. I separated the first and second wave as separate encounters with a couple minutes in-between. Just to give the party time for first aids such.

So you got the idea of what I'm doing now comes for the real question. Can I treat a Swoop and its rider as a single creature for simplicity's sake? Having to manage multiple defenses, conditions, and Hit points for so many participants is very taxing. It's my understanding that this system was designed specifically for faster gameplay and is based on the rules for the minis game. Some of the traps the party will be allowed to make are designed to dismount a speeder. Hell I don't even bother putting the rider on the board and the Swoop wrecks. But I had to pause the game for more time than I am willing to admit over an augment about attacking the drivers with auto-fire attacks reasoning that they would hit both the bike and rider since the latter will have less HP and no DR. The only enemy That I allowed them to shoot while driving was the Rodian cause once his speeder is disabled or destroyed he will keep on fighting as a boss in his second stage. 

Is there a right way of running this fight? And is there a ruling on this that I missed or some web enhancement quote that answerers this? This almost ruined a great session.             

The Mankvim-814 Light Interceptor has single laser cannon 2d10x2 should it be 3d10x2?

As for everything else I'm not sure what stats you are using for BD-1 to figure talents, feats, skills, and ultimately CL.  Once that's done you're supposed to add those figures together and divide by 2 for the approximate cost.

This is the droid my player wants. I need to know how much its worth and what can I take away for a stock model (for later use). The story goes the players are looking for a droid to supplement their group. I figured they could find one of these collecting dust in a shop on Smuggler's Moon. I said the droid was broken so IU was going to give them a 50% discount. I dont know how much the goram thing is worth.
