The gala event doesn't seem to be tug of war. Does it mean Destiny is allowed?

It is indeed not Tug of War, should be fine I think.

Just one of the rolls at max.

And you're right! Sleepy me forgot!

Are those rolls upgraded on difficulty side?

None of the rolls are upgraded by me, but there is the natural challenge associated with Daunting and Formidable checks.

Also I think you put the wrong NPC on the moon thread

So misreading/misunderstanding the event, I rolled my daunting check as 4 difficulty dice. Could you confirm what's supposed to be rolled for daunting or above (and possibly add it to the event?)

Do I need to reroll my daunting check?

Edit: also is Vex at the gala? Can she get me a pretty ball gown? :D

It is in the event text, but yes the roll is currently wrong. All rolls for this event will have a max of 3 Difficulty Dice. Whocheans for any ranking that uses more than 3 dice you add Challenge instead.

Thus:
Daunting is 1 Challenge, 3 Difficulty.
Formidable is 2 Challenge, 3 Difficulty.

Vex will very much give you a wonderfully fitting dress to wear to the gala.

As a note, my apologies as I thought I wrote that more fully and properly but I did not. I was fairly certain I had.

However, I hope the additional line I added makes it clearer now!

What would the difficulty be to hear about a place that gives out Force tests: something like the tree in Dagoba, or the mines where you find your lightsaber crystal in the base F&D campaign?

There's not anyone available who would know of such things.

Could make it at a lake in Dalkirk! It's the closest area.

Otherwise, just for eases sake, could use Dalkirk and use the actual beach at the end of the continent.

I had forgotten about Conflict and Morality! If we accrued any, it would be in our PF, right?

It won't effect any mechanics, but we should roll 1d10 at the end of each session I believe

Yes, that is a thing to do!

If I notice something that would generate conflict I would note it in that thread more likely than not. Though, I'm not always on a look out for every chance at one.

I try to be honest about it, but in session one Sol didn't channel any dark side, didn't use violence as a first resort and pushed for peace instead of rioting.

Maybe session 2 :P

if we've never met Neera or Deera can we still attend the militant or covert events Day 5?

Yes, I mention some things in the blurb for how you can go about it.

1. Assume a Player recruited you during the event.
2. Assume Nerra or Deera recruited you during the event.
3. If you want to see how Deera or Nerra might recruit you, and if they can, we can always have a thread.

Would it be possible to spend a Destiny in the D5 Arena thread to have an announcement about the Jedi to give Sol and Leah a lead?
