We Are Psion

Because. I mean. Listening to the psychic is a tactical advantage

The clones should have massive influence on battle plans! But if the Jedi says "not that route" then there's a solid chance it's because they are getting Bad Vibes that are predicting a possible ambush or rock slide

Ignoring a Jedi for not being a tactical expert is like ignoring the engineering specialist for not being frontline

Like yeah, they aren't battle planners. They still have pertinent information that could cost you the battle if you ignore it.

This doesn't get into the Jedi being solid field leadership (again, being psychic helps massively with making snap decisions) and just a major force in war themselves.

But as far as pre-battle leadership goes, I just think a lot of the This Character Is Literally Psychic gets understated. Not enough scenes in fic where the Jedi offer an opinion on the plan and just

"Bad vibes, sir?" "Bad vibes, captain."

"Sir, requesting a vibe check." "Vibes are good. We are clear to proceed."

Thieves’ Guild VII (1982) introduces the notion of inborn talents and weaknesses, which is fun and can result in weird powers like psionics. There is also a thorough expansion of the lockpicking rules, accounting for strange locks and a variety of traps. This is a good example of the sort of rules that depend on context. In a mixed class campaign, this level of nuanced rules for lockpicking would be a drag (similar to hacking in Cyberpunk or Shadowrun) but in a group where everyone is a thief, they kind of work. Maybe. This maybe pushes things into the too heavy for my taste category.

The first adventure is a bit tortured — an incognito dwarven smith hires the players to rob his shop, specifically of a sword, and deliver it to the guy who commissioned it. He does this largely because he doesn’t want to make the trip, but also needs to test the people who would deliver it for him? It isn’t the greatest. I do like the idea of a dwarf acting mysterious and walking on stilts though.

The second adventure involves stealing a magical artifact. The item in question is in the possession of a person who is part of a particular caravan, but no one know who, so the party has to figure it out. I love the framework here, but the staging is a little less than sexy. Still, a good social heist.
