let alone the dubiousness of having a force-sensitive battle droid in the first place

That's not the issue, there has been a droid jedi in the expanded universe.

Also, can someone find the turn where Ian was magic locked? I'm looking, but can't find it. I need to check if the flirt goes through because it's not an attack or if the lock was on all SYN actions.

I don't have a problem with the concept of a force-sensitive battledroid, even if it doesn't hew exactly to canon, it's not the technical bits I'm worried about. But the Force isn't good IC justification for meta-info, which is where I take issue.

There was one Force-sensitive droid in the EU, and that particular story is of questionable canonicity.

But yeah, you're not allowed to just be like "yo force who's this guy"

[SOLDIER First]

It's completely canon, hush your face. Skippy didn't die for this shit.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Yes, it's rather annoying to have someone have what is essentially a supernatural all-knowing search engine when half the damn plot is supposed to be a mystery story.

[Twinwolf]

I repeat: Where in the setting has an actual Jedi just directly and seriously asked the Force for answers? Because that's literally not how it works.

[Powder Miner]

I don't think it honestly matters if there are force-sensitive droids or not in star wars canon, it's not like character concepts in this game have to be limited to canon. Like I said, the only thing I think is a problem is the asking the Force for info thing, because that's constantly, constantly asking for extra info and often a source of metagaming, which is pretty irking.

Arguably that's what Kyp Durron did in the Maw.

now that we have our point across, we can stop ragging on TBF

[TheBiggerFish]

Okay, disregarding whether it makes sense or not, I don't exactly know how else to frame requesting Force information as anything but a question, even though it's not supposed to be and I don't want it to be.

[Powder Miner]

The issue is that you can't really request Force information, it gives you info when it feels like.

I think. I don't know enough about Kyp Durron bruh I only knew he blew up suns n' crap

[Chevaleresse]

Honestly I'd just ask the GM of the current plot to keep it in mind, or mechanically lay out a bonus effect for it outside of combat. Actions like "attempt to read target's mind" would be fine, I think, though.

though on that topic, force whispers is already a thing (and would be broke as all hell if this game ran more like DnD)

[Twinwolf]

A one off thing does not turn the Force into a search engine.

Seriously, if they were doing it in my plot I'd drop the Reaper on 6AR. And make it do all Pure Damage so that Parry-Dodge-Block can't protect it.

Elf literally just said a solution; don't ask. Let the GM give information when it's needed. Like the Force would actually do.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

And if it wasn't too early in mine, I'd be dropping the Sloanes using their Final Triggers on 6AR.

Also, IIRC, Megidolaon counts as Pure Damage.

[SOLDIER First]

It's really because "The Force works in mysterious ways", a direct quote from 6AR, conflicts with asking the Force questions every few seconds like it's Google.
