A +5 bonus to Mask Scent, while retaining the +15 bonus to Camouflage isn't sufficient for Bothans, in my opinion. Camouflage was previously used for both Scouts and Rangers, until separated into Mask Scent for Scouts and Camouflage for Rangers. Hence we lost our Scouting bonus. If reapplied, we need this bonus to be +15 to Mask Scent, as for Scout-level use, as we had previously.


This has also been discussed in the Bothan thread, under Core Systems.


Otherwise, great list. I created my character as a Scout at Launch, and it's the only Mastery I've never surrendered.

Fashion,


It's not about whether or not you are detected. It's about whether or not you are attacked IF you are detected. This will actually make your life easier.


Without the tier, you've always got a 40% chance of havingthem attack when itsbroken. With the tier, it's reduced based on your distance.


What you are basically saying is that you always want a 40% chance ofgetting attacked. That may be fine for you, as a BE, but for Scouts who use mask scent as a means of getting around critters without having them aggro, having it tiered makes them more survivable in the event that they are mask scented and it breaks.


Now, with vehicles, this issue is pretty much moot, but the community still wanted it. So that's why it's there.

Forage to give healing not buffs

I had not paid this much attention until someone mentioned it last night, but our food works as both a buff and a heal now. I'll give an example:

After an activity that drains my mind I am now at 300/1000 Mind.
- I eat a Flur Onion (+500, 60s) which boosts it to 800/1500 for 60 seconds.
- (I am ignoring further use of the mind pool or regeneration)

When the 60 seconds is up, only my cap lowers.
- I do not lose Mind unless it is above the cap.
- My Mind becomes 800/1000 once the buff fully wears off.

Thus a 500 point mind heal.
- Now I feel like N'Raas wrote this post.

I cannot believe that weather wasnt designed to alter HAMs in the first place...yeah a tatooine sandstorm shows off my new sound card nicely, but it should have some effect, and the suggestion to allow the smaller camps as a refuge from this damamge is a good one.

hhee....i was just reading a book...Tatooine ghost i think. And there was a part where Han Solo was riding a swoop in the sand...his swoop slowed dramatically.



I say they should have planetary effects that make a difference on the different species. But a mon cal on Tat, and he gets sluggish unless he has a tech pack or something (water misting system?). Likewise, if there is a sandstorm going on....give everyone a blind effect. unless they're wearing some sort of cloak or hood. *shrug*
