Added new Homebrew Rule to "Rules" thread

When a talent says "character may spend 2 Destiny points," this will assume a standard game of 4 Player Characters (so the Destiny pool would have 4 total points). The cost will be divided by 4 (rounded up, since we can't do half points). So in a 1 or 2 PC game, that talent would only cost 1 Destiny point. In a 3 or more PC game, it would cost as written in rules.

There's 1 Destiny die per PC, so it would be impossible for the player to spend 2 points in a 1 PC game. So this rule will apply to games with 1 or 2 players. Games with 3+ players will use any rule as written. If it says "may spend 1 Destiny point," then it still costs 1 point.

Added new Homebrew Rule to "Rules" thread

**Change to Mentor**
A mentor makes it easier for members of the group to obtain Force powers and skills. When a Player Character purchases the basic version of a Force power, they may decrease the cost of the basic power by 5. Alternatively, when a Player Character purchases the first rank of a skill (rank 1), they may decrease the cost of the skill by 5. This requires the Mentor character (PC or NPC) to have purchased at least 2 additional Force talents of the Force power (basic power + 2) or a total of 3 skill points invested in a specific skill. The apprentice must have trained with the Mentor during the same chapter prior to the end of the chapter or the Mentor must be part of the group between chapters when the XP is awarded. A character may only use this feature once per game session/XP award.

By the way, "Caitken" is the name of one of Admiral Raddus' aides, with Shollan, on the Profundity in Rogue One. It's not stated if those are their first or last names, but I thought it would be neat.
