I lied to a Hutt... And technically succeeded!

That...is a lot of red dice.

Always be suspicious of a GM who has bought three packs of the dice. It ain’t for the yellows!
42
I GM this game too, we had to pool all of our collective packs for this, hahaha!
6
A likely story!
...said by a brother GM with three packs that ain’t for the yellows. 😏
4
I just bought 3 packs...

Yeah. Hutts have Nobody's Fool 2, I think, but then I went back and counted 7. I'm not really sure how to get that number. They'd have to be a 5-5 in the skill, then Nobody's Fool, then a Destiny Point flip... And some other thing after that.
It's a lot.

The standard hutt crime lord stat block from Edge of the Empire has 5 willpower, 5 ranks in Discipline (used to oppose Deception) and 3 ranks of Nobody's Fool giving a native pool of six red and a purple. DP flip takes it to seven red.

Eeexactly what happened
11
Why, in that circumstance, would you want to flip a destiny point? What did the players do to that GM, that they they said "what's that, six red and a purple? Not good enough, we need to up the ante here, get some excitement going." ?
3
Destiny was heavily dark side, and the GM took one of my lines and said, "Really, I'm doing you a favor here, giving you more points to use now!"
Plus, I mean, six reds and a purple? One more red isn't suddenly gonna make the roll more dangerous, and at that point might as well make it consistent!

A day that bad could only be the will of the force.

Well if he wants to lie on something that is obvious that its a lie .. like after everybody saw you sawing the head of somebody with a piece of scrap metal wanting to say "I never sawed the head of somebody with a piece of scrap metal"
I mean 2 despair without being failure is like "yes he believes you, but he still will kill you, because he doesn't like that he couldnt cut someones head off with a piece of scrap metal"
1
That's the most horrifying dicepool I've ever seen, holy fuck
If I was OP, I would've shit my pants when the GM started collecting that many red dice
9
I think a few more black dice should be thrown in for good measure. But yea if I saw that I would start flipping destiny points...
3
I removed a few setback with talents
5
Oh, I knew exactly what I was getting into. I considered it revenge for all the times I've GM'd and had players succeed on other rolls just as crazy.
3
2 Despairs? How much deeper did you dig that hole?
11
Fucked our group for the fight that ensued, the hutt had our two best fighters taken away to be thrown in jail. Worth it!

"I look forward to your delivery of the product. In 72 hours. Starting...now."
8
"starting 70 hours ago..."
6
Also I've had your ship detained, also you need to bring this incredibly unhelpful cousin of mine along, and he can't get hurt.
5
Enter Kevin the Hutt
2
Ours was "Gorto the Conqueror" a Hutt with a love of huge weapons and a lack of empathy for the party. He carried a Sidewinder Repeater because... Hutt, so Brawn 6, and would often use it to fire indescriminately into a room.
We managed to arrange forgiveness from his Uncle and left him stranded, very safely, on a space station on the edge of Hutt Space and never looked back.
3
I've been in your shoes, way to show that slug that even you get boarded sometimes.
6
I'm not sure anyone can survive that kind of success.
4
Advice for your GM: The dice app cost less than a pack of dice and has all the reds you'll need
4
Harder to roll a fistful of smartphones tho
9
A lot less fun too
6
Well yeah if you want to be frugal about it, but where's the fun in digital dice?
6
This is fine. Everything is fine.
3
But hey, at least two of those red came up blanks! Admittedly in spite of that it's still the second worst roll result I've heard of, but still lucky!
... right?
3
I'd love to hear about the worst result you've ever heard of then!
1
Here you go!
3
Well, that was a wild ride
2
I was like "damn those are some murder hobos I wonder how that will ... oh ... wow"
good thing I am alone in office today and just put away my monster can, or I'd ask too for a new keyboard :P
1
I sort of feel that's a great roll.2 success and only 1 Threat! 2 Despairs just means something flipping awesome must have happened worthy of a story in its own right!
1
Two despairs and a threat? You’re boned.
That's number and skill of bounty hunters assigned to catch you.
Well, the hutt's dead now, so we have other issues...
Should call in favors from the people it owed money to.
Also, probably want to avoid the bounty hunters you just sent to the unemployment line.
As a GM: do you think debts die with a Hutt? Their family will come after you, with lethal interest. Creatures are mortal, debts are not.
Oh my God that is perfect thank you!
If your GM is playing Hutts correctly, killing a Hutt should be VERY BAD for your party. Hutts are extremely long lived, and although they scheme against each other, killing a Hutt is the greatest taboo they have (due to ancient wars and the destruction of their homeworld). Outwitting a Hutt or screwing one over in a business deal will earn their enmity, but a grudging respect from their rival Hutts. Killing a Hutt? You are now a persona non grata among the entire species.
