Blessings In Disguise

Actually, the party splitting up and only half of them going into the Knobby White Spider encounter turns out to have been a good thing (or at least have a silver lining), because it made me re-evaluate the KWS stat block. I built the critter using the miniatures game stats as a baseline, which was easy enough, but SWSE has absolutely no guidelines for estimating custom creature or NPC challenge level. You just have to wing it.

So I wrote up the KWS and winged it, coming up with CL 5. But then this morning I compared the KWS stats to the Acklay stats in the book ... and had quite a shock. The KWS, which I put at CL 5, could easily wipe the floor with the Acklay, which the designers put at CL 10.

Aheheheheh. So perhaps the KWS as I wrote it should be, oh, CL 12. <.< >.>

So, yeah, lemme do some revising, I think. ^.^'

Right, i knew i should have hovered in the Y wing and let our jedi force hop out, and been ready to apply ship-based lasers to whatever popped out to eat her. :Þ

You would think a hovering Y-wing would make just a little bit of noise though. About as stealthy as a freight train, but just as powerful when you need to bulldoze a badguy.

I seem to recall Ki-Adi-Mundi calling "backup" from a clone gunship against General Grievous that went pretty much the same way.

Thats because General Grievous was totally awesome. Stupid Lucas. If you're going to give a badguy 4 arms and 4 lightsabers, at least give him more than 1 minute of screen time using them.

Hey, Luke beat a Rancor without his lightsaber. Of course, he was far beyond third level at that point...

Its not like he had many ways of defeating the rancor though. He had a big bone, and a rock. He probably got some bitchin' exp. bonus for defeating the Rancor with a rock though.

so, staying put in the facility was a good thing. Yes! -Frisk
