1. It should be used on people you are actually working with this isn't WoW with ride by Priests randomly buffing you.
2. That's fine.
3. I would prefer multiple threads, more work for you but easier if someone wants to join your slot then one massive thread.
4. In general I will allow a single use of Valuable Facts in that manner as it's against the spirit of the ability I think.

Bonus: You can yes, assuming you use on someone with you doing that, Lightsabers in my games are like Katana in L5R, sacred objects, so no, and Force users who make their Lightsaber already get a bonus to modding.

Can I assume most hunting checks would just be at average difficulty out in the wild hills?

The Cramberry event. If you pass it and gain the Spider Person talent, would it take effect immediately, or kick in for D3?

Bankor: The Rygor region is at about 40 degrees C by late afternoon, a rather cool day though the desert is at about 38 to 40 by that time...
Is Rygor supposed to be cooler than 40°C, or is that actually cool comparatively to usual?

Is it possible to go straight from the Cram Berry event to the Main Event or are travel considerations going to get in the way of that?

Does the Harm power work for a combat skill in the Main Event? Would you want that contested Discipline check, or since it's nameless faceless mooks, take the full 10 damage and just check to see if the force power activates?

Would the Outdoorsman talent in removing setback dice in dealing with the environmental conditions affect the setback die gained from failing the first roll of the Cramberry event?

In the main event, when rolling to reduce damage it says that Armor doesn't apply. Does this mean total soak or any soak added by armor?
