Knights of the Old Republic - OCC

[Falkus]

Well if you want to re-do anything you totally can (your attributes, focus, etc) I thought that you might either been a Jedi Negotiator or Healer type, whom had been raise from a young age as a Jedi… I will explain anything you would like...

Looks good. This should be a fun game. I've been doing some reading, and I've got a fairly good idea of the differences between Saga and regular d20 games I'm used to.

I'm not sure about the pilot skill, though, any other suggestions for skills?

As for spending some of that cash, given her focus on preserving life, Talesa would probably invest in a few of the Star Wars equivalent of handcuffs.

Knowledge (life sciences) would be approriate for someone with medical training. There are a few more things on their class list, but the only thing I remember off the top of my head is acrobatics.

Binder cuffs.

Shot it has been a long time... how do I do spoiler tags anyway? Just cause they are smaller

Thats' cool... note that just as a FYI your Skill Choise is - Acrobaits (dex), Endurance (con), Initiative (dex), Knowledge (all, taken individually, int), Perception (wis), Pilot (dex), Use the Force (cha).

Perception would not do you much good, but the others are wide open for you

Hi!

Did a small edit on Elan Xandar Renn.... Traded Strong in the Force for Force Boon. More useful for Jedi, it seems

Looking forward to starting the game

It's probably also worth noting that for a Jedi negotiator or healer type, 1st level as Noble (at least) is a pretty good idea; it makes all the social skills (deception, gather information, persuasion) class skills, as well as treat injury and use computer. And as written, you've got the Linguist feat; nobles get it for free. And the noble talents are really better for interpersonal stuff than the Jedi Consular tree.

 

[Falkus]

Thanks for the rules info, I'm definitely going to have to buy a copy of this game once my financial situation stabilizes. I can tell its good already.

What sort of knowledge skills are available?

That sounds like a good idea. I think I might focus on healing for this character, the group doesn't seem to have a dedicated doctor.
