I would roll for STAMINA every subsequent round to see if you take a point of damage. If you are assumed to know how to swim and each Round is ~6 seconds, then you should easily be able to hold your breath for several Rounds. With that in mind, an average person should be able to survive underwater ...

Thanks, I edited the subject to Marshal.

Okay, that makes sense to use Manipulate in place of a Command roll.
So, they got the two skills revered in the talent text?

Authority Talent reads, “you can use your COMMAND skill instead of MANIPULATION” However, the Colonial Marshal key skill is Manipulation, not Command. What’s the benefit of this talent? Wouldn’t it be better if this talent instead stated, “you can use your Wits when rolling MANIPULATION, instead of ...

That needs to be clear stated because it obviously sounds like a contradiction, otherwise.

As written it sounds like pushing requires both a fast and slow action. The bit in the text block that reads  "...can be useful if you want to  engage it in ranged combat rather than fight it hand-to-hand." seems moot if it takes your entire  turn to push an attacker away. Wouldn't they just move b...

In the Starter Kit on page 59, the rules for pushing away an opponent are written as follows: “As a fast action , you can try to push an opponent at Engaged range away from you. This is done with a Close Combat roll, counting as a slow action just like any other close combat attack.” I need help ple...

The stress mechanic and personal agendas of the characters (cinematic mode) makes this game the most perfect RPG for players who all want to play as no-good backstabbing cutthroats. Is it just me, or is this game meant to be played like Quentin Tarantino movies? I’m not at all complaining, by the wa...

SOLO ADVENTURE Based on the 2013 Riddick movie... Theme Left for dead on a sun-scorched planet, the character must fight for survival against alien predators more lethal than any human he has yet encountered. His only hope for escape is to activate an emergency beacon, but that brings with it a diff...

Thanks for the feedback.

My character throws a grenade and it lands at Close range of the target, but only has 67% chance of doing 1 point of damage. Why bother, when my character can just shoot to deal the same damage... and ammo is a lot cheaper than grenades!
Shouldn’t explosives be more deadly ?
