Star Wars Saga: The Dawn of Defiance [OOC Thread]

How about Sloor Sanbraiz, a besalisk Scoundrel? I see him as a from-the-streets grey market "trader" specializing in off-the-hoverbed acquisition and fast resale.

Sloor started out as hired muscle on one of Ojom's largest orbiting station before bumming his way around the near systems as a cargo handler. He quickly started supplementing his too-small income with small time mule runs, dipping into debt-collection and repo work when onstation or, more rarely, onplanet (frecsing things are too marbling big!). His personnal brand of smooth-talking coertion eventually earned him notice and, also eventually, a spending account for -special- acquisitions with certain influential parties (amazing who wants to acquire things on the quiet after the Empire started really *watching*...). Only small things so far - tentative jabs into what the grey can do for them, he figures - but Sloor can almost *hear* the credits breathing in that client's shadow: play it sly, Sloor, play it smart and this will be big! In the meanwhile... well, any credit in a storm.

He is the one that tampered with your programming, plugging-in an old republic code-cracker that sort of went sideways on him (at least he *thinks* he used the thing correctly, defective piece of second-rate garbage!). Still, the droid might not be the most sane or obedient machine he ever encountered, but his skills sure come in handy in his - uhum - I mean their business!

What do you think?

POSSUM: What do I use for a Besalisk racial template? I only have the base Saga book.

Here's what saga-edition.com converted the RCR stats to. Doesn't look too bad.

Besalisk
Ability Modifiers: -2 Dex, +2 Con.
Medium-size.
Speed: Besalisk base speed is 6 squares.
Extra Limbs: A typical Besalisk has four hands, though some females may have as many as eight. These hands may be used to manipulate equipment or wield weapons, and provide a +2 bonus to grapple checks. However, a Besalisk cannot attack with more than one weapon in a single round unless he has a feat or talent that allows him to do so.
Food Stores: A Besalisk does not have to make Endurance checks to endure hunger for a number of days equal to twice his Constitution modifier.
Expert Swimmer: See Gungan trait (SECR page 27).
Arctic Dweller: Besalisk can reroll any Survival checks made in arctic climates, but must keep the result of the second roll even if it is worse.
Automatic Languages: Besalisk.

Thanks, Possum (Now *that's* service ). Should have a sheet for you somewhere tomorrow.

Blackrat: And I just played Jedi Starfighter within the week... LOL. Concept sounds good.

Hehee. Does sound a bit like Nym... My first idea started with a wookiee, but I decided that I want something that can speak basic... If for nothing else, then for the imperials to understand his insults . And I still liked the idea of a Big Freaking Alien who hits hard and is really scary. Not many options left, so I decided on Feeorin as I played Dosh the last time. And then when I needed a reason to dislike the empire, well, I admit, Nym kinda inspired the piracy idea . So far, I'm thinking a personality like that of Tyr Anazasi in Andromeda. Especially the first episodes. He's rude, he's self-centered, he plays dirty but he's nice to have around when you need to get killing. Also easily distracted and easy to fool/convince to do anything. That means low CHA, low WIS. I can have a sheet ready as soon as you want one.

Planning ahead, I'm going to build up his unarmed capabilities. Never played unarmed specialist in SW yet, and I think a total brute will be fun. That said, I'm considering the Teräs Käsi talents from Threats of Galaxy as lvl 8 pickings, and even if it's quite a long way still I wanted approval already as it will define the route I take...

Character Stats

Here is the character I would like to play. I kept the concept of of a force sensitive Universal Geographic person, merely changed the race to human.

A little webpage I threw together for the character... Mir Malone

I will update with detail and some character background here soon. There is only so much one can do in a day If anyone wants to weave their character into knowing Mir, let me know. We can work something out.

Updated my first post with Sloor's completed character sheet. Hope you approve!

SONGDRAGON: We're starting at level 1, you know?

Yes I am aware. Opps... The levels were listed wrong as I used another character's webpage as a template. All is correct now. I hope.

If you find mistakes in my sheet, please let me know.

As for a link with your character, I don't suppose she's had cause to be visited by a repo men, has she? Hired muscle to break some heads/recuparate her "rightful" property/quietly ferry -uhum- sensitive goods to an equally quiet location? If so, Sloor and the droid are the ones to call: reasonable rates combined with a total absence of after-sale services!

Well here's a sheet:

[sblock=Naar]
Feeorin soldier 1
Destiny Destruction 1
Force Points 5
Init: +6; Senses: low-light vision, Perception +3

Languages: Basic, Feeorin, Huttese, Ryl

Defenses: Ref 15 (14 flat-footed), Fort 18, Will 9
hp: 33; Threshold: 18
Speed: 6 squares

Melee: Combat Gloves +4 (1d6+7)
Ranged: by weapon +2
Base Atk: +1; Grp: +4

Abilities: Str 17, Dex 12, Con 17, Int 14, Wis 6, Cha 6

Special Qualities: Low-Light Vision, Stronger By Age, Brutal, Inborn Resilience

Talents: Hammerblow

Feats: Armor Proficiency (light, medium), Martial Arts I, Weapon Proficiency (Simple, Pistol, Rifle)

Skills: Endurance +8, Initiative +6, Mechanics +7, Perception +3, Pilot +6

Possessions: combat gloves, slugthrower pistol, blast helmet and vest, all-temperature cloak, utility belt, bandolier, hip holster, Clips x5, 162cr[/sblock]

EDIT: Oh yeah, Hammerblow is from Legacy Era book, but is non era-specific. Mechanically speaking, it allows unarmed attacks to be made as two handed attacks, doubling the str for damage.

All looking good so far. This isn't required, but recommended for posting in the character thread. Please format feats and talents not from the core rulebook with a citation for easy use. For example: Biotech Mastery (Leg 47)
