How on earth can we make use of all these skills?

With all the space traveling you would think that Astrogate and Pilot would be important skills to have, as well as the weapon feat Starship Gunnery, but Biwoare and now Obsidian cut those corners.

Yep. The language/knowledge/craft skills were some of the most useful in the D20, and in KotOR they simply assumed any roll on those automatically succeeded.

 

Anyway, if they have increased the number of skills, it's only logical they will increase the number of skill points you get per level. 3 skill points with 14 INT was just ridiculous.

and we get more levels to got thru

What skills would you add that would make sense in the SW universe?

 

Actually If you take a look at the Star Wars D20 game system (+all the addon books) you will find the most Skill Heavy D20 gamesystem ever.

I think the game has too few skills and that is a bad thing. There should be more.

 

I agree with this. Although i don't know much about d20, i think there should be much, much more skills and maybe feats too.

And the game balances that with giving rediculously few skill points per level. Some mistakes lead to other mistakes.

There is hope beyond hope

What do you want all these skills for???

 

I'm pretty sure a lightsbaer can be pretty convicing.. =]

If you had to avoid being decteted by the elite forces of the Queen, you would find that your lightsabre is not enough

I can understand why Astrogate and Pilot arent in, though. If you failed a check either the trip would take much longer or some mishap would occur disrupting the journey, possibly throwing you into some other sector of space, causing damage to the ship, having no jump occur, hyperdrive failure, or causing a collision with a gravity well (for astrogate). For pilot, the ship would simply not take off. You would have to repeat the check until you succeeded. For someone with a low pilot skill rank, this could be a very long time. Games are supposed to be fun, not obnoxious. Also, some of these things simply cannot be programmed, especially being thrown off course - unless you want to have the ship arrive safely at another world from the one you were trying to reach, in a game of limited scope. This is not reality or pnp.

And I find it kind of funny

I find it kind of sad

The dreams in which I'm dying

Are the best I've ever had

It is not necessary to give all skills to the PC, some can be given to NPCs (e.g. demolition, computer, security). This will make NPCs much more valuable  :p

 

focusing certain characters on certain skills will certainly make them more valuable and it would make us put more thought into who we take with us on particular planets which will in turn teah us to make use of each characters special abilities

If then you play as a DS and decide to killed almost everyone in your group then you would be in deep S....t as you would have killed many of your skilled NPCs.

Is that some kind of lightside in your heart? Has not the dark side fully consumed you?

There is hope beyond hope

I never fully succumb to something.

 

I prefer to use the power of the Dark Side, instead of it using me. So far I have managed to keep it under control. :cool:

You think so. The Dark SIde is hampering your vision and your thoughts
