USH'S STAR WARS GAME 2008- Character Creation

Started by General Zink32 pages

Welcome aboard to all new Dark Siders. It seems we will have new blood after all! I was worried they'd all been scared off...

Just a note on the Dark Learning/skills thing- there is no such thing as 'intellgience based skills' any more, that's from the old system.

DL works with ANY skill so long as the roll being made is one dependant on Intelligence- I pair up skills and stats as is appropriate for the roll.

Obviously, things like Jedi Lore and Savoir-Faire are more likely to have Intelligence rolls made with them than, say, Guns, but anything is possible.

Of course I knew Jedi Lore was going to be attractive, but yes, Savoir-Faire is good, and Languages is a good one too; a Scholar/Apostate with a Languages speciallity can probaly speak just about everything.

That would be extremely handy for the Jedi with that Lamellan Senator, I should think.

Obviously, Apostate is supposed to fall because of interest in Dark Side Lore and techniques, so I quess Jedi Lore specialty makes most sense, but so far Savoir-faire was more useful than Jedi Lore.

Well, I would say it kind of makes sense for someone with subterfuge to have Lying. Actually Ush, is there problem with Gallador having Leadership force power without the skill? He also has Presence, which I assume would give that skill at 3, effectively, as well as Charisma power, and Charisma stat of 5. So he has very strong personality and is very good at applying Force to affect minds, but I quess he just doesn`t have experience in commanding others.

Well, I don't really know anything on the scale of Ush's games, so I never read anything else.
Hey did you read about Xavier's tussle with the Dug Army, and amazing escape 😛

No, I am not quite through yet, I am at your attempts of stealing stuff.

Hmm, I will have to think about it a bit. What about having a high lying score with Subterfuge, would that be smartß?

Sure. Though as I always say with Lying, it only makes you SOUND credible; you cannot tell a person a pink sky is blue no matter how credible you sound.

No, that's where mind tricks come in.

"The sky is not actually the color you think it is."

"What the hell...?"

Well, maybe not, but it'd be funny.

And the stealing stuff...hee...that was fun. You're about to get to Dak's grand performance then. I remember Ush saying he half-wanted it to be Galder there...😛

Okay, I adjusted my character then, I think that should be final:

Con Gordo

Con Gordo was brought to the Jedi Academy, when he was 1 year old. He was a good and thorough student for the next 14 years, though always more interested in the theoretical aspects of the Jedi ways and the force. He finished his tasks well, but spent his time much rather reading in the vast libraries of the Jedi Order. Most of the other students regarded him as a loner and he had only a few people he ever talked to.

When he was 15 years old he was appointed as Padawan and had to carry out assignments with his new master, that brought him around in the galaxy. Although he learner much from his master and the tasks he had to perform, he much preferred staying on Coruscant though and would spend all his free time reading and researching whichever particular topic interested him at the time. After 2 and a half years with his master he realized that he never wanted to lead the life of a Jedi Knight, confined by rules and superiors and chose to abandon the Order at first chance. One day he packed what little belongings he had and left his Master and the Council's orders behind to travel on his own to find knowledge in books and on worlds the Jedi Order would not allow.

For years he gathered information about the Dark Side and Jedi History. He loved the new freedom he had found, that was so different from his time at the Academy. He could go wherever he wanted to, do whatever he pleased and even help people that the Jedi Order had forgotten about. He thought for years that he was still working for the force, just in his own way, always telling himself, that his thirst for knowledge was not drawing him to the Dark. But it slowly overtook him, until he had no interest in anything but his knowledge and himself.

God, I was so scared when I did that, but I just knew I had to react like that...

I finished reading now and...who is "The Lady"?

Very good question. We have no idea. Hints have been dropped for years now that she exists, of course, but no idea.

Yeah, we've all been wondering who she is for a long time now. Probably one of the biggest questions we've been pondering.

Unless you are me, of course, in which case the biggest question you've been pondering is "What the hell is the Desert of Stones?"

The one damn time Rianna will likely ever have a vision...😛

Bardock, Lady is apparently very powerful Darksider, she started war on one of the most peaceful worlds in galaxy to get certain artifact.

There are more hints in Jedi story: Revelations. Read it, it is even better than our Episode 3, at least in my opinion.

You have to remember that our Episode III was originally our Episode I. It was a starting place rather than a continuation.

Well, I would say that our Episode 2 was much more interesting than Jedi 2, but Revelations had 2 great endings and very interesting investigative plot.

I'm an old timer. You would have enjoyed 1x05, the Mausoleum. Oddly enough, I still remember 1x03 best, the one where Galder lost an arm. You'd think I'd be grumpy about that, too.

Mausoleum was really cool because it allowed Darksiders to raise and army of Darksiders, pity I didn`t play.

A pity indeed! You would have enjoyed it. It is the closest that we will get to having Padawans, those Zeitonian Lieutenants.

Pray do tell, Ush, what templates were Alik Saar and Krisha/Jolanta? Fairly obvious that Chion was the Brute.

Alik is a Marauder, Krisha was a bit more customised, most akin to an Athlete type, but with a hyped up Sabotage capacity.
