Hate to do this, but it looks like I'm going to be stuck at work on the 18th. Was hoping I could avoid it, but not this time it seems.

I think the biggest gripe some folks have is the Knightly Virtue system, some of which can be quite potent, especially for a character that's not using magic. The Grail Virtues can be really freaking powerful from the looks of it, but seeing as how my Bretonnian Knight (almost done with my...

Going by our group, combat seems to take roughly one round per opponent, give or take how badly our elf archer unleashes Ulric's Fury (seriously, this guy rolls 10's on damage so often that he cranks out over 15 damage per shot). Part of how long a fight takes depends on how well the PCs are...

Actually, you bring up another incredibly powerful combo, the Jedi with Master Negotiator and is trained in Persuasion. Since most NPCs tend to have lower Will Defenses than they have Reflex or Fort Defenses, the Jedi can easily shove an opponent two steps down the condition track with a skill...

I think it's called Vehicle Systems Expertise. AFB, so I can't check, but that sounds about right.

Well done Mr. Burlew. Well done.

As for the "only one condition track affector at a time," if having PCs able to drive your baddies down the Condition Track that fast is a problem for your games, then do so. I might also suggest talking with the players and letting them know that by their engaging in such antics, it's causing...

I'll be frankly honest in that I really couldn't care less about the whole PDF thing. About the only two WotC product lines I routinely buy stuff for is the Star Wars RPG and the SW minis line, neither of which have been or would ever be available as PDFs in the first place. I also tend to...

Aside from the corebook (be advised, there is a 2nd printing with the October 2008 errata incorporated into it), the only book I would say truly qualifies as being essential is Starships of the Galaxy. Scum & Villainy is helpful if you plan on running a Fringe style game in the vein of...

Yeah, Devastating Attack is one of those "really really good" talents. Dastardly Strike comes close, but requires some effort to set it up. Things get nasty when you string together Dastardly Strike, Devastating Attack, and Stunning Strike on a martial arts type character with stun gauntlets...

Kinda hoping the droid one is a placeholder, but the Galaxy at War looks pretty sweet.

Off-Topic: It's a fairly well-established trend that most companies are quick to raise prices but slow to lower them. After all, consider the span of time it takes for gas prices to go up and then how long it usually takes for them to drop once the price of oil goes back down. There's also the...

Personally the only things on that list I'm looking forward to are the SW Galaxy at War supplement and the corresponding minis expansion. But then again, I'm a bit biased on that count ;) Edit: D'oh! Dunno how I forgot about the droid book. I've long felt droids got the short end of the...

Order 66 - All about Star Wars Saga Edition, though a few casts have several suggestions and GM tips that could be applied to any RPG, namely encounter design (The List) Radio Free Hommlet - They're slowly getting back into the swing of things, but I've found RFH to be quite informative on 4e...

It's an interesting idea, and one that should definitely provide a lot of material for some great roleplaying as the characters try to determine for themselves the answer to the age-old debate of "nature vs. nurture." You may want to mix it up a little and allow for "clones" that are of the...

You're not the only one. Personally I would have pegged him at 18th level tops, with Draco being 14th. I know there was quite a bit of disbelief when the first LECG preview came out and revealed just how high level Roan was, but that quickly got lost in the poo-storm over the IK's Armor...

The Vong themselves get the full PC race treatment in the species chapter, they get a new prestige class (Vong Shaper; worthiness of said PrC may vary, but general opinion on the WotC boards is that it's a waste of space if that matters any), some new feats relating to Vong biotech, a Scoundrel...

Antares is a Jedi 7/Imperial Knight 8, and Roan is Jedi 3/Noble 6/Imperial Knight 6/Officer 5 Personally I think the character description for Antares is a little too generous, as the guy frequently comes across as arrogant and condescending in the comics.

Base Attack Bonus: +7 Skills: Trained in Use the Force Feats: Armor Proficiency (light & medium), Force Sensitivity, Weapon Proficiency (lightsabers) Special: Must swear allegience to Roan Fel I don't recall if building your own lightsaber is required for this one, but since most PCs that hit...

Well, as it turns out, there was a Klatooninian in the Legacy comics. And a member of Rogue Squadron no less. Ronto (Klatooinian) - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki
