GALAXY AT WAR

*NEW EDGES*

Baran Do Tradition
Requirements: Novice, Force Sensitive

Originally developed by the Kel Dor before their contact with the Jedi, Baran Do is a complementary but less militant Force tradition. Treat a Baran Do Sage as a Force Adept. A Baran Do Sage may Force attune a staff or his unarmed strikes (see New Rules).

Master of Teräs Käsi
Requirements: Novice, Martial Arts, Spirit d8+, Fighting d10+, Knowledge (the Force) d4+

Teräs Käsi, or "steel hand", is an unarmed combat discipline created by the Followers of Palawa solely to defeat Jedi. It relies on knowledge of the Force, but does not require the practitioner to be Force Sensitive. If a Master of Teräs Käsi does not move during a round, he may use the famous Steel Hand Strike. With a successful unarmed attack he adds +d6 to his Strength roll for damage and gains AP 2. He also gains +2 to all Spirit and Smarts rolls to resist Force powers with the Mind-Affecting descriptor. A Master of Teräs Käsi may ignore the Rank Requirement for the Improved Martial Artist and Martial Arts Master Edges (although he may only take the latter once per Rank before reaching Legendary Rank).

Flurry of Blows
Requirements: Novice, Master of Teräs Käsi

Masters of Teräs Käsi train to use every part of their body as a weapon. Ki Masters learn to use every part of their body as a weapon. A hero with this Edge may make two unarmed attacks at no penalty, as if wielding two weapons with the Ambidextrous and Two-Fisted Edges.

Improved Flurry of Blows
Requirements: Seasoned, Flurry of Blows

When making a Rapid Attack with unarmed strikes a Master of Teräs Käsi does not suffer a Parry penalty.

Staff Mastery
Requirements: Novice, Fighting d8+

When using an electrostaff, an ordinary staff, or a similar weapon, a character with this Edge treats it as a double weapon, and can attack with both ends as if he had the Two-Fisted Edge. He can also choose to treat it as having Reach +1 instead of being a double weapon.

Steady Nerves
Requirement: Seasoned, Smarts d8+, d6+ in affected Traits

A hero with this Edge is at his best when the stakes are the highest. Pick two Traits. A hero with Steady Nerves does not suffer the standard -2 penalty when performing Dramatic Tasks with that Trait. He still suffers normal penalties for Complications. A character may select this Edge any number of times, picking a different pair of Traits each time.

NEW RULES

Lightsabers

A proficient character wielding a lightsaber who gets a Raise on her attack roll may choose to target her opponent's weapon instead of her opponent. A vibro-weapon, electrostaff, or similar weapon has a Toughness of 15 against such attacks. A Force attuned weapon has a Toughness equal to 8 plus the wielder's Spirit. A lighsaber or similar weapon, consisting of energy, is largely immune to such attacks. Any other weapon can be assumed to be destroyed by a lightsaber blow unless the GM feels it has some sort of special resistance.

A proficient character wielding a lightsaber who Incapacitates a foe may choose to maim his foe rather than killing him. This is treated as a permanent Arm Injury. A maimed Extra does not die on a failed Vigor roll in the Aftermath of a fight, while a maimed Wild Card does not make a Vigor roll when incapacitated or Bleed Out.

Force Attuned Weapons

Force attuned weapons have AP equal to half the wielder's Spirit, or their listed AP, whichever is greater. Force attuned unarmed strikes count as armed attacks and inflict Spirit +d6 damage. The Martial Arts and Improved Martial Arts Edges do not apply to Force attuned unarmed strikes, but other Edges which affect unarmed strikes do apply (unless the GM rules otherwise). Force attuned weapons have Toughness equal to 8 plus the wielder's Spirit or their own Toughness, whichever is greater (this does not apply to to Force attuned unarmed strikes!).

Demolition Charge: A demolition charge is an explosive device designed for precise demolition work. Although it can be thrown like a grenade, it is more effective when placed, which requires a successful Repair roll. It may be detonated by timer or by remote control. When emplaced, it gains AP 12. When thrown, it still takes an action and a successful Repair roll to arm (usually with a 1 or 2 second timer delay).

Grenade Launcher: A grenade launcher fires grenades, fed from a magazine. It takes an action to reload a magazine, or an action per grenade to reload them individually.

Grenade Laucher, Heavy: A heavy grenade launcher is a tripod mounted automatic weapon. Unlike most automatic weapons, the number of rounds fired in a burst equals the RoF (rather than 3 times the RoF). If a target is hit by multiple overlapping grenade blasts, he takes +1d6 damage per template (4d6 for two, 5d6 for three). This weapon is fed from a special linked belt, which weighs 60 pounds and costs 600 credits. A character with access to tools and scrap can fashion a belt from ordinary grenades with a successful Repair roll, but cannot fire unlinked grenades.

Satchel Charge: This is essentially a prepackaged bundle of demolitions charges, and uses the same rules.

Sawed-Off Blaster: This is a specially cut-down blaster carbine, barely usable as a one-handed weapon. It also comes in a double-barreled variant. This costs 2000 credits and weighs 6 pounds. A character makes a single attack roll at -2 when firing both barrels. On a hit, the target is hit by two blaster bolts (with separate damage rolls). On a roll of 1 on the Shooting die, regardless of the result of the Wild Die, the double-barreled variant drains its power pack.
