The lights are out, he has a small glow-rod. As far as you can tell, he cannot see in the dark.

And she's wearing a black velvet cloak. I cannot for the life of me think of what to call it beyond that. It's aggravating, but this is what I'm trying to describe, but in black. Not the picture I have in my mind, but I can't recall the movie I have with the character who wore whatever it should be called in my brain.

Ahem. That was a long way of saying something poorly.

Anyways, very cool. I'll avoid the "huh, this isn't my hotel!" line until he tries to attack me.

Takei has brought peace to the Galaxy far, far away to where no one has gone before.

Now Galactica vs. Firefly is all the rage .

Out of curiosity, was there a beneficial modifier? I'm happy with 31, but 33 is better.

And with my luck, Kel will be startled and punch me in the face.

I hate how Listening and Seeing are lumped into the same skill. It has never made sense to me at all, specifically for situations like this. Makes life difficult.

All my abilities require my gauntlet or a lightsaber so I'd probably lose a fist fight or miss punching you :P

Edit: So I take it that we can get our stuff just fine since we had to leave the tubes to get here anyways?

So...I'm looking at what I can do and I'm guessing I can't use the "Move light object" aspect of use the force to yank his gun away? Can I make him beat himself in the head with it (1d6 according to the power)? If none of those is it safe to assume there are some crates less than 5kg I can use to beat him with?

Edit: Honestly, picturing it in my mind I really like the idea of the him hitting himself with his gun...that's hilarious to picture. If I can't disarm him can I move it enough to beat him with it...heh heh...stop hitting yourself.

To get his gun, you would need to follow the rules for disarm but using Use the Force instead of an attack roll.

You can snag his glow rod and fling it at him.

Even if I just wanted to make him punch himself and not disarm him? :P

Edit: On an unrelated note is there any force power that allows you to like move the person? Not like move object, but like taking their limbs and moving them. The idea of using the Force to make someone put a gun to their head by controlling their limbs and then going "pull that trigger again I dare you" is fun.

There has to be some balancing mechanic, or else players would only want to be Jedi.

Move Object Force power allows you to fling people, even doing so across multiple rounds. It's a bit evil to life up a person and slam them into a wall repeatedly though.

Yeah, thus why I was asking. Glowrod it is then.

Aww thanks :)

In his defense the weapons are supposed to be down here and it is why he was coming down here :P Not my fault this guy is here and our weapons are missing. Though I doubt Lily much cares based on the circumstances :P

No, no she doesn't. She is, however, wondering why he was chosen to be part of a mission that seems to rely on deception and stealth. Now she'll be angling to get his dossier as well!

Also, it's very dark here, so getting within LOS would probably be like 8 squares. And if you can see him, he can most certainly see you -- and that means your unarmored rear is getting a salvo of bolts.

Yeah, I should have clarified it was more a "if I can see him from my current spot" which is unlikely. I made that unclear (though I did state I wanted to do it then move to cover).

*goes to add clarification*

Edit: Boy, I'll look so lame when you all see my dossier :P
-Went MIA on mission. Presumed KIA, survived and came back to report failure
-Ran around delivering errands and stuff
-Got beat up by sith/rescued by Jedion another mission
-Got sent to do this

I'd assume there is good in there too at least :P

Eh, at the very least he won't have a glowrod anymore :P

Edit: *ponders* At a -10 I'm not even going to TRY and disarm him. At least he isn't shooting anymore, maybe we can go back to looking around.

Imagine being in the dark and lighting up a glowstick, everyone can see the stick, even if the man holding the stick cannot see you.
