The Senate / Re: Need help chasing down a ruling
« on: August 03, 2019, 08:46:08 am »
Since this thread is the main one covering this topic on this forum, I thought I'd add the other sources that feed into the "Area Attack" and "Firing into Melee" discussion points.
Order 66 podcast, episode 166, at approximately 22:40 in the podcast, GM Chris talks for about 3 minutes on the topic. He rules that 'area' attacks are different than individual attacks. He never applied a -5 for someone in melee. But he acknowledges the intense debate on the topic, but ultimately ruled against the extra complexity adjudicating the -5 individually during the attacks.
Here is the original d20radio thread that goes on for at LONG time:

Ultimately, we are following SteveO's take on this, but it _IS_ more complicated to adjudicate than how GM Chris ruled in Order66. I agree with those who say it's best to take the temperature of the party they're playing with.

What action economy would you require the person to use? 2 standards (one in each turn)? Swift and a Standard?

Thanks. That's how we've been ruling it, but just wanted to see if others agreed.

The Senate / Thermal Detonators versus standard grenades
« on: July 23, 2019, 11:26:18 am »
I searched the forum, but did not see a thread on this topic, so apologies if this has already been brought up.
Since the specification on Thermal Detonators says that the timer can be set to 6 seconds (1 round) to 18 seconds (3 rounds), I assume it cannot be fired/thrown as a normal grenade and explode upon impact with the chosen location. Would you agree that this is RAW?
https://swse.fandom.com/wiki/Thermal_Detonator
https://swse.fandom.com/wiki/Frag_Grenade
(Core rulebook pages 128-130)
1) can it be launched from a grenade launcher? (no?)
2) the third paragraph in the core rulebook on Thermal Detonators makes it sound like you can attack with one just like a grenade, but if you HAVE to set the timer for at least six seconds, who would hang around for that to go off?!
