Of course, you did mention the Guardian is a Miraluka. A species where every member is naturally attuned to the Force, and with a disporionante number of Jedi. He's goign to be a pretty compotent padawan.

To clairify: I am relaying how I see them acting on screen during TPM and AotC. It is my opinion that the films contradict sources such as Incredible Cross Sections, Essenstial Guide, and the RCR. When role-playing in an established universe, be it Star Wars, Star Trek, Beverly Hills 90210 or...

Fire, or rather an explosiive fireball, is very much possible in space. The ships are filled with an oxygen atmosphere, munitions, and usually flamable fuel. Ship gets destroyed, this stuff burns. In one of the best episodes of Babylon 5 two minor characters stare out a window and discuss the...

It might speak to either my personal bias, or just how old and senial I am, but highly recommend a few D6 books: Droids, No Disintergrations, and Platt's Smugglers Guide. The rules aren't useful without conversion, but the text is wonderful. You can usually snag used D6 stuff at any local...

Correction, the B1 Battle Droid is a Thug 1. I still belive my point is valid.

Well, with regards to 'sentience' of the B1 series, I think several good arguments counter to mine have been raised. I also think it's a subject we could spend eons of back and worth bickering on, with no clear resolution. In the sake of returning ENWorld back into a gaming related board...

Also, even if the 3PO incident was "comedy" it was in the film, it is just as much canon as Leia's golden bikini, Luke's missing hand, or the head-whackin' Stormtrooper.

I'm sorry, but using the films as the source there is no way to have all the B1 droids be simple "dumb terminals"... In TPM they continued to operate for a few seconds without orbital control signals. A few seconds may not sound like a lot, but it is still impossible under the "dumb terminal"...

Ankh-Morpork Guard - Although I respect your fine work with Cmdr Vimes, and I don't really want to be tossed into the Ankh... But the whole point of my rant/essay is that the stock B1 droids seen in the final two (and possibly all three) films are just as indeendant as any other droid. And...

Oh, a tall, lanky, and skeletal B1 is definatly the type I want to play. And I'd respond to every request with a crisp "Roger-roger." Roleplaying the factory default quirks balanced agianst a few long decades of operational life in ways never intended by the designers is one of the things I most...

Battle Droid Behavious in Attack of the Clones In the original script for AtoC, a squad of Jedi were sent to find the control ship and shut it down, thus duplicating the tactics of TPM. The squad successfully shut down the control signal, and all the droids in the arena stopped. A cheer went up...

The humble Trade Federation Battle Droid... I want to play one in Star Wars D20. However, according to the Core Rules they have no autonomous functions, being essentially slaved to an orbiting "droid control ship" which controls all of the droids on the surface. However, the highest canon of...
