Unlike the later feat, Animal Skins, which says you gain "the effects of animal form", the Wild Astrazoan Heritage says "you can use Change Shape to transform into an animal with the statistics of a 1st-level pest form." What exactly does this mean? Are you even Tiny, or just Small/Medium/Large (same as Change Shape) but with the 'statistics' of a pest form? What even are the 'statistics' of pest form? Everything listed after "You gain the following statistics and abilities:" or just some of them (which is a 'statistic' and which is an 'ability'?) Does this use of Change Shape count as a battle form?

Basically, I'm trying to understand exactly what a Wild Astrazoan can do in regard

I have a quick lore question for the SC reddit: what’s the proper adjective to use when describing something from or belonging to the Idris system? Idrisian? Idrisean? Just Idris? Do we even know?

I’m trying to make a lore friendly Org and was wondering if anyone had an official answer I’d missed.

So, quick question: Can Mindlink be used to communicate the needed "1 minute" of time that the Diplomacy and Intimidate skills require to change a creatures attitude? Both skills are listed as being language depended, which makes sense. Mindlink, however, is listed as non-language dependent; which means... what? Exactly? Can it not be used to communicate language at all, or is it just able to communicate with or without a shared language?

My instincts say that a language dependent ability or piece of information (AKA having a conversation in Elven or bullying someone in Common) can be made using a non-language dependent medium like the Mindlink spell or certain forms of telepathy (Like

Honest question here. How is it that I can queue for Ranked at roughly 2890 rating, and get paired up with a team including THREE SEPARATE people running their placement matches? Meanwhile the enemy team only has one unranked player, and they are teamed with two plat players.

In what world is this a fair match? Why is this sort of match up even allowed? Are people hopping into the queue with an unranked friend just to game the system?

I'd just like to give my fellow "D.Va Mains" out there (we play other characters guys, don't worry) a head's up in case you haven't had a chance to test out the new changes on the PTR. With Defense Matrix moving to our RMB you can no longer cancel your Boost using RMB, you will instead have to press Shift again (or use your melee attack/LMB per your discretion).

This may sound like a minor thing (and it is), but I know it took some time for me to re-learn my muscle memory. You will probably find yourself throwing up your DM instead of coming to a nice stop up on a ledge the first few times you play. Along the same lines, you're also going to have to re-learn the timing on your ult. Alt

Special Modifications allows characters to create their own droids. A number of those droids are considered minions. If those minions are not constructed EXACTLY the same, can they still function as a minion group with each other? RAW I believe the answer is no; and if that's the case then constructing minion Droids is potentially far more difficult than one might think, as you'd have to spend Advantages (and potentially Threat?) on each one in exactly the same way. Likewise, they could never hold different equipment and such.

Is this right? Or can minions work together as a group if they aren't identical by simply combining "Group Skills" where appropriate?

A character in The Old Republic MMO is resistant to Force persuasion (influence) via the use of an "implanted pain inducer". One would assume it's an implant designed to stimulate pain in the users nervous system should it detect abnormal brain activity (thus canceling and alerting the user of the attempt).

What are everyone's thoughts on such a device existing in EotE/AoR/FaD? Personally, I rather like the idea of Inquisitors or well-off bounty hunters having one implanted, but how would you stat one? My initial thoughts were to have the Influence attempt auto-fail, but the user suffer 2 strain. Should there even be a strain cost? Or would it be better to simply increase the Influence c

So I was just curious how others have decided to rule on the, let's just say "open", markets of Nar Shaddaa AKA The Smuggler's Moon AKA Little Coruscant. It's a place where you're supposed to be able to find anything, and arguably the biggest trade hub in the outer rim.

My PCs have been there before and I was probably a bit too lenient with what they could buy. Thus, I wanted to get some new thoughts on how others have ruled it. My current plan is as follows:

• A (-2) is applied to the Rarity of most Weapons/Armor/Gear.
• Items of Rarity 5 or less are openly available, no check needed. (This does not apply to things brought down to Rarity 5, only things that start there.)
• A ch

This is an update to the pixie pact familiar I constructed based on the feedback I received in the last thread. I also added some additional fluff to give the familiar a place in the world outside of Pact of the Chain Warlocks. As before, I'd love any input on how balanced for suitable everyone thinks this is. Would you allow it in your game? If so, why not? What could be tweaked?

Some quick context. I have a pixie character in my groups 4e game right now that I'd like to potentially incorporate into our upcoming 5e game as my new character's pact familiar (he will be grabbing at least three levels of Warlock). My DM is open to homebrewing some stuff so long as it is reasonably balanced (with the understanding that we can always adjust it later).

With that in mind, I took to adapting the pixie from the MM to better represent my 4e character without drastically changing to much; while still trying to bring it up in power to match what an Imp and Quasit can do (in other words making it CR 1 instead of CR 1/4). As such, I'm posting this hear to get some feedback. Is thi

Managed to catch this bug during my final match. I didn't get the video uploaded until the test was over. Not a big issue, but it appears you can be damaged on Kings Row before the match starts. Intended? No? Is D.Va just too fat? JK dont tell her I said that. :-(
