Yea, the crawl is kinda pointless.... But I agree with everything else

Right now do the mods make a big difference? In the current system does a smuggler that is 0/0/1/0 have the same chance to FD in any situation as a smuggler that is 0/0/4/0?
I ask because I have two characters, one has an extra box in that line but I have not noticed a difference in either of them.

I have a question regarding FD. I tested FD out in a freindly duel with a friend but he was able to continue to attack me and cause massive ammounts of damage. I thought once youFD'ed you couldnt be attacked. Now lets say he kept attacking me would he have been able to actualy incap then DB me?

No, he 'Black Bar's you (meaning you keep taking wounds till you have three completely black bars, not to mention the wounds you take to all your secondary stats) and that's the problem, and that's the reason people keep making suggestions to fix it.

This is why many Smugglers wanna change the way the Feign Death skill mod works. Over the past ten months, having just Dirty Fighting 1, and as a Master Smuggler, I've had it fail on me a total of five times, once as a Master. Here's the change I(and many others) would like.
Feign Death always "succeedes", in the way that you take a hit and knock yourself down. The mod determines how good you are at it. If someone is just 0010 Smuggler, it basicly only works on Creatures and NPCs. The mod, would make you better at fooling players. It would decide whether or not you appear as a corpse to them. To keep peoplefrom benefiting by only picking up DirtyFighting 4, just spread the mod out through Smuggler, like creature levels werespread out in Creature Handler solong ago.It wouldn't be too hard for the Devs to impliment this.
Also, to balance this, you simply add an "Inspection" or "Detection" mod to Bounty Hunter, which is spread out similarly, so that its a coin toss who wins when a Bounty Hunter and Smuggler face off, both at Master Level.

4000 tka is a nice way to fix it + buffs, you cant get more wounds then your base stats unbuffed , so 400 hams + 2400 buffs, and if im FD, im still in fighting comndition when i stand up heh.

So, on the Black Bar thing...
Can you only be Black Bar'd when feign death fails ?
Personally I have never seen it fail or perhaps i was lying there and it had failed and just did not realise
Thanks

You can be black barred at any point while FD, also your armor also takes a beating as well, but you can always unequip it
