Star Wars Saga/D&D 5th Hybrid [OOC/Rolls]

Perfect.

For the Gand species, how about using the Kel Dor as a base, swap out the Keen Force Sense for the Transdoshian Natural Armor (to represent the Gand's tough exosketon) and either leave the Darkvision as is or swap in the Zabrak's Heightened Awareness to represent their wide field-of-view compound eyes? Something like:


Ability Modifiers: +2 to Dexterity, +2 to Wisdom, but -1 to Strength
Exoskeleton: Gand's thick, platy skin provides a +1 natural bonus to their Reflex Defense. This bonus stacks with any other bonus to Reflex Defense (armor, class, etc.).
Compound Eyes: Gands have advantage with Wisdom (Perception) skill rolls involving eyesight.
Oxygen Sensitivity: As per Kel Dor

I was waiting to make my character until there was more interest shown. I'll go ahead and build her this weekend and post her up.

That seem reasonable, I like it...

I'd like my artefact hunter to know about ancient civilizations/lost languages/ancient tech (the Kwa and Celestials in particular for Dathomir). Is that covered under Galactic Lore or is something else needed?

The Soldier equipment list says "one set of Light armor of choice" but that list includes things like Stormtrooper armor... Are they really all available for 1st level charas?

Oh, and how much to buy llanguages other than Basic for her/his/its vocoder?

Please and thank you.

Depending on your background (Sage/Scientist would make the most sense but maybe Hermit also) I am fine with Galactic Lore covering the Kwa/Kwi/Dathomir, but if you want to speak their language it has to be one of your language choices.

As for Armor look under my update EQUIPMENT - Weapon and Armor. You can get Scout Armor as light armor but not Trooper Armor (which is now medium, as I could not really fit it into Light)

Here's Gand's sheet for comments. Combined two "free" comlinks into one that has video and sold off a "free" power pack I didn't need. Left to do = pick two extra languages.

Re languages I was thinking more along the lines of being able to decipher/translate dead languages rather than actually being able to speak them? I took a datacard on dead languages to reflect that. Should I take a "Dead Languages" or "Deciphering" language slot as well?

Looks pretty good but a couple of notes... Soldiers gain +1 to Reflex, +2 to Fortitude defense so your Reflex is a 20. Also as with D&D 5th, you get your Dex bonus with range attack damage so you do 3d8+3 damage with the Heavy Blaster Pistol

Corrected. Thanks!

RE background, I'm thinking either he/she/it (thon? contraction of 'that one'?) angled to be hired on the Dathomir expedition to get a free ride to the home place of the Kwa and/or was already partnered up with one of the other PCs?

Okay, took me longer than I expected to get things straight, and find my Saga book and figure stuff out and get my ideas out...but I like where it's going so far:

Kacela is one of those padawans who tries to out-Jedi the Jedi. She was found and trained young, lives and breathes the Code, and can be kind of annoying about it. Don't worry, she won't stay that way, but I like it as a starting condition.

Still trying to decide a few things, but I've enough to put it up and get reactions/ideas as I finish it off.

Er... I need to rethink my concept. A little too close go Shayuri's. Maybe I'll go human. Let me see where our holes are and go from there.
