Re: Slingshot effect

} I think it could be either way. To make it more dangerous, I like the
} idea about having to shoot around the sun. But definitly need a minimum

 Sure I go with that, it shouldn't be too easy otherwise everyone will be
going back to the past to make themselves a enRICHed future (i.e. present)
life.

} 12 sounds OK, but in high level campaigns that may be a
} little too low. It would only take a mage of 24th level and a major
} helm.

 Geez, 24th lvl is pretty high, like the Wiz HB details stuff till 32nd but
24 is still high.  I mean unless the mage is a friend of the captain or his
brother or something its going to be a little expensive to have him on
board, might have to sell his mother, his soul and who knows what else! just
to pay the guy...

} an SR of 12 but by slingshoting around a larger gravitational body
} you get the increase of SR needed to make the jump.

 SR 12 sounds good, but one thing, being that close to a sun, wouldn't that
make most ship's rigging blow up in flames and give the hull (if wooden) a
hard time...
