USH'S STAR WARS GAME- Christmas Thread 2007

The base of the skills system is still unchanged so that is remaining pretty much as is. There comes a point where everyone ends up with everything if we follow it too far to the point where everyone has everything that might be useful to your template.

That being the case, the awarded skills are the tactics most likely to be used by a template and if you want to be more multi-talented than that, use xp.

No, in fact you will recognise very little of Blade Schticks, I think.

But as to your request to be more of a duellist than a general guy- yup, can do that.

Also I would also like to keep my guy as intimidating as before.

Also will the physical and mental stats still be roughly the same?

Anything on Force Powers?

SNEAK PREVIEW!

Blade Schticks are as follows:

GUARDS-

Balanced Guard

Focussed Guard

Forward Guard

Orthodox Guard

(Only one Guard can be used at a time. For EU enthusiasts you may be able to partially map these to the sabre fighting styles)

STANDARD-

Bodyguard (surviving from the old version!)

Block (changed from Force power)

Charge (changed from Force power)

Cleave (changed from Force power- equivalent for CofC)

Perfect Strike (New kid on the block- what Mace Windu killed Jango with)

Reflection (changed from Force power and merged with Ricochet)

Riposte (changed from Force power)

...please tell me that some form of CoC will still exist?

And damn, if Gallador's going to be a better fighter, we won't be able to intimidate him as easily when he's annoying 😛

You bunch of bullies! Still, if Psycho Brigade decides to turn on Gallador/Rand, they are dead.

And I am able to return the bullying in the OT game.

😄

Dak will remain a Corsair. Muahaha.

As for changes, I really can't think of any I want. I'll have the most fun if he remains saber-focused, although I probably need to work on a few skills with XP.

Bold-faced lies. The only reason the group exists in its current form is because Rand and Gallador know pissing the Brigade off TOO much will result in very painful, untimely deaths. 😊

Do Blade Schticks still have levels?

Nope.

Riposte (changed from Force power) [/B]

Hmmm, has Riposte actually changed at all, or is it simply not a Force Power and instead a blade trick instead?

Because if it's the latter, then Cleave + Riposte = Rianna 😄

Pfffft. You wish. For starters, we outnumber you.

Ah, man, this means we're not Type Cs anymore 😛

Riposte also is looking good.

And we are still united in our craziness and love for stabbing things 😛

Ha, just wait for OT episode without Vader, who unfortunately overshadowed the fact that Commisar is supposed to be scary guy.

Well, err, Riposte is different, with the same basic idea.

That's the thing with people who only work with you because you pay them...not as easy to intimidate because generally it means you need them more than they need you 😛

Well, so long as it's the same basic idea. I like that power rather a lot, if no one managed to pick that up.

And Riposte looks like a very good and effective skill to have.

Yeah, Cleave and Riposte is looking lovely to Dak...

Galder is obviously a Corsair.

Xeth is of course staying a Vigilante. Good to see that it survived conversion.

Will we be maintaining how our skills looked with the last sheet? Vigilantes don't come default as decent Pilots or Heavy Weapons wielders.

To no one's surprise, ANdro will stay a Swordsman. Although I will miss the craziness from CoC, I did wish he was a more rounded swordsman. I liked his ability to shred large groups quickly, but didn't like the lack of defensive abilities.

Jelena has been template-orphaned! Oh well. She will be an Adventurer.
