    The most fun character you have ever played/seen

    Wow, there's been some really good ones. I remember reading about Joserius over on the Atomic Think Tank in days long past, and he's still as cool/goofy now as he was back then. Might as well toss a few of my own into the ring... Michael Corwin, started out as a Mortal in a Vampire...

    Things I Learned Playing SWSE

    Another thing to "watch out for" in SWSE... Force Slam at low-levels. If your mook squads are grouped together, they become easy prey for a Jedi with Force Slam. Force Wizards in general. Any character less than 5th level with Skill Focus (Use the Force) is going to steamroll most opponents...

    D&D 4E Love It or Leave It: 4E Multiclassing

    I'm really liking it, particularly the feats method. Much simpler than previous editions, and doesn't require you to gimp yourself just to acheive a concept or have to make a beeline for a prestige class just to be effective.

    Star Wars D20 RPG

    I'm pretty certain we're going to see "item modding" rules for Saga Edition version of the game in the upcoming (and hotly anticipated) Knights of the Old Republic Campaign Guide that comes out this August. Since SWSE looks to be operating under the K.I.S.S. principle, it probably won't be as...

    Albany Gameday IX - May 31st

    I'd love to run a game, maybe even play one, but it looks like I'll be quite busy moving that weekend, so no dice on my part :(

    Star Wars Saga character creation help

    I wonder if this would be a bad time to make mention of a thread I read over on the GleeMax boards a while back... ah, heck with it. In one GM's game, there was a Force-sensitive noblewoman who took the Beast Language talent (or whatever it's called, AFB at the moment) and had a pet voorpak...

    Star Wars Saga character creation help

    True in regards to Force Powers per se, although Use the Force does give some nifty abilities for just being trained in it. Although once she gets to 3rd level and can pick up Force Training, she'd be a pretty impressive Force-user thanks to her whopper of a Charisma bonus. Not entirely true...

    Star Wars Saga character creation help

    Some pretty interesting options as far as potential feats (and I can't help but grin slyly at the notion of "Force whore.") My strongest suggestion of the options listed would be either Point Blank Shot or Martial Arts I, with the later also giving you a much needed bump on your Reflex Defense...

    My Big List of Star Wars Saga Ed NPCs

    Kind of wish I'd been able to access these boards earlier, as I just went through a doozy of a headache trying to sort out why MediaFire was stalling on this file but not the other pdf files I have stored there. Wound up re-uploading it as a zip file, which seems to work, so hopefully that kind...

    Star Wars Saga character creation help

    Aside from the skill numbers which Nfft already pointed out, most of this looks good as far as rules crunch goes. Did a double take on the stats, but that's probably because I haven't used a 25pts in the point-buy for a long time. I might suggest lowering her Wisdom by 2 points and putting...

    After reading up a bit on Mar’Kessa, color me interested to see how Tosca plays out.

    Star Wars Saga character creation help

    Noble to start, as that covers a lot of your bases right off the bat. As for species, Twi'lek is an option, but there is also the Zeltron, stats for which can be found in Legacy of the Force minis preview #2, which given the race's proclivity as bon vivants and hedonists (look 'em up on...

    Lightsaber Edge in Star Wars Saga

    Don't have the book handy, but I would think reaching down to scoop up a dropped weapon would provoke an Attack of Opportunity.

    Lightsaber Edge in Star Wars Saga

    Speaking of, Gary Sarli posted that at one time there was an option that would allow a player to mimic the Severing Strike talent that worked as follows: - Declare intent to using attacking to maim instead of kill - Make attack roll with -5 penalty - Reduce damage rolled by half - If remaining...

    Star Wars Galaxy Tiles: Anyone Have?

    Just an update, but this product got pulled from the release schedule. No concrete reason given that I can easily access, but for the current time this part of the Saga Edition product line is in remission until further notice.

    My Big List of Star Wars Saga Ed NPCs

    Doh! I knew I forgot a link to update. I'd taken down the version I'd originally posted and put up a newer version with a couple tweaks and a few more NPCs. I'll edit my initial post with the updated link later tonight. Edit: Updated first post with the current link.

    Forbidden Kingdom-What Do You Think?

    I'll probably go see this one for the same reason I watch most wuxia flicks. To enjoy the fight sequences. If there's actually a decent story being told at the same time, then that's just an added bonus :)

    Lightsaber Edge in Star Wars Saga

    You know, it'd be wonderful if the disarming rules didn't make it so hard to pull off a successful disarm, as that would certainly be a great non-lethal option *roll eyes* Not a shot at you Felon, but more at the devs for making it so bloody difficult to actually disarm someone, to the point...

    Lightsaber Edge in Star Wars Saga

    As Victim said, lightsabers ignore damage reduction (SECR pg158), although it's not quite the boon it was in RCR as personal armor no longer grants a DR value. Battle Strike is one method, but if you're will to take a walk on the dark side, then don't overlook Dark Rage, especially as you can...

    Dealing with damage in Star Wars Saga

    As a Jedi one, of your other options for self-healing is Force Trance, which is a trained only aspect of the Use the Force skill. With a DC 10 skill check and a swift action, you enter the trance, allowing you to heal your level in hit points per hour, and after four consecutive hours you...
