USH'S STAR WARS GAME 2008- Character Creation

Haha, stupidly toned, I like that.

Yeah, I was just going to say that about Reflection.

Well, based on the power, you don't need any skills to use reflection, its only based off how poorly the mooks roll.
I say this having just bought a second guard too.
What I'm saying is there are no downsides.

All very true.

Very well, then I'll drop Reflection and take up Orthodox Guard instead. It seems much better related to the template. 🙂

Are you happy not being able to perform any form of advanced jump or fall?

...Well, it hadn't crossed my mind until you mentioned it, but now that you do...Hmm...I'll look over my power choice and let you know.

Yeah, I'll just throw in my two cents here. You've got Aurel geared up to be a tough and nimble fighter, yet you geared all of his Force powers towards throwing people around with your mind.

Might want to pull back on some of those. You can always gain them later via xp.

I think my mind kind of focused on "Saber Throw ftw" and I couldn't get out of the mindset. 😆

I suppose he would be less about tossing people and more about swordsmanship, though.

I'm a Swordsman-type and I completely ignored the telekinetic powers.

Yeah, I took that route in this revision. It just makes more sense to me for the character to have force enhanced swording skills.

Alright, problems to point out.

In order to Master a Force power, you need to Master its pre-req. Like, you've got Balance and Alacrity there, but you need Swiftness Mastered first. Make sense?

Haha, you are correct, sir. Excuse me while I facepalm.

And I had paid such close attention to that little rule the first time around. *sigh* You're getting cocky, Xanatos.

Well, since it's clearly a part of the progression, I'll go ahead and just swap the Mastery around a bit. I'll drop Alacrity altogether (having it only learned isn't really worthwhile, in my opinion), and instead learn and Master all its prerequistes.

So that means my powerset will now look as follows:

Master Balance
Master Co-ordination
Intuition
Push/Pull
Sense
Master Swiftness

Does that look like it makes more sense?

You need Leaping for the jumpiness.

Riiiight...leaping...I knew that. >.>
In that case, I will drop Master Co-ordination and take up Leaping. So that means my powerset will now look as follows:

Master Balance
Co-ordination
Intuition
Leaping
Push/Pull
Sense
Master Swiftness

Now you are juuust liiike meee...

Concerning!

Well that's not ominous at all, is it? 😛

Not at all! Besides, Aurel is more of a fisticuffs guy. He is more likely to punch someone to death than I am.

Or, y'know, just kinda beat them into submission, and even that's not preferable...since...y'know...light side...unless their droids! Then we get some laser sword goodness going on. 😛
