Trouvere is quite right. The 3.5 PHB reference is page 178, bottom of the right-hand column, under "Spell Gained at a New Level."

Let's see, I believe I first played Solnira, a Czech (then Polish) Supergirl-type character, in 1989. I may be off by a year or three. I think I last actively player her in 2000. So that'd be 11 years. Of course there were characters in play before her and I played other characters in that...

Speaking unofficially, For my own games, I figure the CL of the heroes' ship, just as I would if it were an npc ship. Since each ship has its own CL, that's just a matter of deciding on the PC's effective crew quality. As each crew quality gives its attack bonus and base skill checks, that's...

Wow, my games have always had a lot of named weapons. I use four main methods – steeling names I like from obscure fiction (to the best of my knowledge none of the examples here fall into that category), jamming normal words together to form a cool name, using a single (often obscure) word, or...

I don't think the Jedi really need a power boost. If you really want to make lightsabers deal 3 dice of damage, why not 3d6 + Str? That's an average of 10.5, as opposed to the 2d8 average of 9, but it's better than 3d8. (If you're going for logial progression, I doubt you're interested in...

You get three total attacks, though you can make it two with your "primary" and one with your "secondary," or one with your "primary" and two with your "secondary." Note that there's no real difference betwen primary and secondary weapons. For an official answer, you should send this question...

Oh goodness! Well, I am very pleased you liked that book. I had a blast writing it, and I'll always love Green Ronin for being interested in publishing it. It was my first solo-written fantasy d20 book, and my first solo freelancer book that got published (there are one or two still sitting in...

I think your solution for the Legacy era is fine. You might even decide to move the action to a whole new world, and asusme the Hutt have "Shadda-fied" it in the time since the Vong invasion. The Old Republic Era is a pretty big stretch of time, so clearly Nar Shadda will be more built up later...

Tempest Fued has the benefit of working in a lot of different eras. It's pretty big, though, and not designed for starting characters. I'm thrilled there are people who like it enough to want to do the work, but I wouldn't recommend it as a first conversion effort unless you're already familiar...

First, let me say I fully understand what you're saying. Planets have more than one climate, the high ground is not a universal solution in a swordfight, and species have more than one potential role. Second, it's not just WEG legacy anymore even if that's where a lot of that material...

In my personal experience, people who have trouble with 1-2-1-2-1-2 are often very, very bothered by how it breaks their train of thought, and slows an encounter. People who aren't bothered by it always seem able to introduce it even if a rulebook doesn't include it. Also, I have, literally...

No, I don't have any update on that, sorry. Rodney's pretty good about checking forums for questions, and updating people as soon as he can. I bet the Saga release, which is still brand new, is generating more than enough for him to do for the next few weeks.

Heheh. That would be really cool. I could also see a variant where you deal your TS/BCCS spell elements randomly for each encounter, so if you want to mix and match you have to work with what you've got. Because, surely some of the things Goblin and One-Eye did smack of trying to work around...

Wow that's an interesting question. Noting that I don't have my physical copy yet (though it's coming!) I can't really comment on the layout or art yet, since I haven't seen it in it's real, in-my-hands format. I really, really like how talents, Force powers and class/PrCs came together when it...

I know for certain I'll be at Gen Con. I strongly suspect Rodney will be at Gen Con. I also suspect some other people you're going to want to talk to about SW RPG material by then (Gary Astleford) will also be present. I, at least, always lurk around a lot of the SWRPG seminars. Wow. I think...

Huh. I have no idea if I think of that as a good thing (Look! Exposure to SW fans who don't normally look at RPGS!) or a bad thing (Where is the SW RPG?! They must not carry it...) I suspect people from group two are fairly likely to look at other SW books too, so maybe it's only a good thing...

Well, at least none of you don't believe he's Rodney. That actually happened to me on Rodney's own board, oh so many years ago. Yeah, Moridin is the big 'R' himself.

As a freelancer I am not privvy to the internal decision-making at Wizards. That said, I have worked "inside the walls" of that company, so I feel qualified to speak in broad terms about my best guess (no better than anyone else's) on why Saga came about. First, as long as Bill Slavicsek has...

I had exactly the same experience writing out iconic characters stat blocks. I was also amazed how little time it took to write up complete, competent 16th and 18th level characters.

Well, I don't have my physical copy yet, so I am officially jealous of you that do. On the other hand, its nice to be able to talk about the book a bit more now. I'd bet Rodney will post a thought or two here as well, once he's covered from Celebration IV. For those of you who don't know yet...
