When Used
|
| You hold the mylar scout drone aloft and take off running towards your opponent. The drone announces, "TARGETED OPPONENT IS APPROXIMATELY <some number and measurement> FROM YOUR CURRENT POSITION."
As you get near it, you start winding the string around it snowspeeder-style, and tangle it all up. The scout drone gets pretty much destroyed in the struggle. |

| You hold the mylar scout drone aloft and take off running towards your opponent. The drone announces, "TARGETED OPPONENT IS APPROXIMATELY <some number and measurement> FROM YOUR CURRENT POSITION."
Before you get there, however, that stupid tree eats your scout drone again. You hate that tree! |
Notes
- The number given for your opponent's position is a random number, and the measurement can be:
- akts
- angstroms
- attoparsecs
- bushels
- drams
- furlongs
- handbreadths
- hogheads
- klicks
- knots
- leagues
- lines
- pecks
- picas
- red shifts
- stones
- townships
- In combat, delevels by 10-12 levels and stuns for one round, when successful.
- Appears to fail 25% of the time.
References
- The tree that eats your scout drone is a reference to the kite-eating tree from the comic strip Peanuts that was always eating Charlie Brown's kites.
- "Winding the string around it snowspeeder-style" is a reference to the snowspeeders that used tow cables to trip AT-AT walkers in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.
- Most of the measurements are of distance. However, peck, bushel, dram and hogshead are of volume, stone is of weight, and township is of area. Redshift (sic) is a way of measuring movement in astronomy which works in the same way as the Doppler effect but it uses light instead of sound.
