Fully Operational (P)Review


Presented here is an overview of what one can expect from the new Fully Operational supplement.

Page 1: Opening crawl

Page 3: Table of contents

Page 4: Fiction

Pages 5-9: Overview and summary

Chapter 1 (pages 8-35): Building a Rebellion
This chapter presents new backgrounds and duties for Engineer characters; three new species, the Bith, Kaminoan and Skakoan; three specializations, the droid specialist, sapper and shipwright; a list of engineer motivations; and two signature ability trees, The Harder They Fall and Unmatched Ingenuity.

Chapter 2 (pages 36-63): Tools for Freedom
Detailed in this chapter are seven new types of weapons, five explosive devices, four types of armor, various equipment items, a handful of droids, some weapon and armor attachments, nearly a dozen vehicles, and some new vehicle attachments. All in all, this looks like good new gear.

Chapter 3 (pages 64-96): Crafting Victory
This chapter provides suggestions for incorporating Engineer characters in campaigns, as well as new rules for spending Advantage on Mechanics checks, guidelines for building repair facilities, and tips for designing campaigns around Engineer characters. I need to play around with these rules in order to have a stronger opinion about them.

All in all, this seems like another solid entry in the collection. As always, the production values are high and the art is gorgeous.
