Preparing

A character willing to spend twice as long to
complete a task receives a +1D bonus for the die roll. The
character can do nothing else in this time.

You have to use your judgment when deciding whether
"preparing" can be used for a given task; if in doubt, ask the
player to justify the preparing bonus.

Preparing is often used for blasterby aiming at a target for
an extra round. This rule can be applied to many long-term
technical tasks, such as repairing a droid or starship — the
character could be taking extra care or "studying" technical
manuals to make sure the task is done properly.

Of course, preparing doesn't make sense for many tasks.
Characters generally should not be allowed to prepare for
dodges, parries, or driving or piloting skills like repulsorlift
operation, space transports and starfighter piloting. Characters
probably won't be able to prepare for skills like survival,
hide, stamina or swimming, but there may be circumstances
when the bonus is justified.

Rushing

At your discretion, characters can try to "rush"
an action that takes two rounds or longer. (Actions which
take one round cannot be rushed.)

A rushing character is trying to do the task in half of the
time and the player rolls only half of the character's skill.

You have final discretion as to whether a task can be
rushed. With some tasks — like fixing a starship in a hurry—
it's reasonable to say a character could rush, especially if the
character is racing a deadline. In other cases, rushing doesn't
make much sense. If in doubt, ask the player to justify how
the task could be rushed.
