Episode 439: Mind the Gap

<<FIRST     <PREVIOUS     NEXT>     LATEST>>

Acrobatics is something you should make the most of in a game. Very few people have the skills to do daring and athletic displays of acrobatics in real life situations, so this is a good thing to take advantage of in game rules. Games are generally designed for larger-than-life characters, since that's what's fun to play. It's not much fun playing someone who's no better than you in any way. You might end up playing a character who is less able than you in one or two ways, but that will usually be more than compensated for by a swollen list of superior abilities.

So make sure you use them! Have fun!

{Anakin drops into lift, Obi-Wan wields sword}
Anakin: Whoa there!
Obi-Wan: Oh, it's you.

Obi-Wan: I thought you might have been a lift-droid union enforcer.
R2-D2: More like a lift/droid intersection enforcer.
