    Mind Meld [Racial feat] "My mind to your mind ... my thoughts to your thoughts." Prerequisites: Vulcan, Wisdom 13+ Benefits: As a full round action, a Vulcan can initiate a telepathic connection to one target whom they have grappled. If unwilling, the target may make a Will save with a DC equal...

    The Nerve Pinch feat is pretty difficult to learn. Takes Martial Arts training and a base attack bonus most Modern classes wont have until level 6 :cool: Maybe add a STR score prereq? 17-20? Want me to hit ya, Jeph? Okay, will plunk some drafts down tomorrow. What's wrong with Starbuck...

    Ditto. I'd like a glance myself to get a better feel of the game and add some stuff to Nimal to bring him inline. That Nerve Pinch is likely a Trek homage. I'd leave it open to anyone. See no reason why Vulcans wouldnt teach it to aliens and it'll keep the players guessing. ;)

    What alloys? Everything I've used comes the Future books. Agreed. Myth (whom I welcome to the discussion :D ) brings up some good points that kinda makes me want to re-examine default Modern psionics. I'm very familiar with the skill/feat based Force from Star Wars and share his...

    Heres the reformatted scout. I think you need to add the Starship Operation: Ultralight feat for Hope (or she'll take -4 to pilot checks). Also, some detail on it's weapons and defensive systems should be known since it's been seen in combat (vs Bandits). Nimal would study the Wanderer's...

    Leoco (LAY-oh-koh) Actum (AHK-toom)? Sith were behind the war that dissolved the Republic a thousand years ago by the EU. In your setting what conflict preceeded the rebirth of your Republic, the one the Jedi mediated? Where is Jedi prestige suffering? It seems training to become a warrior...

    OK I can reformat her for the modified size and starship design system.

    Why wouldnt this registering authority impound the alien ship and strip for technology if not study how to communicate with this entity in a research facility? I'm not sure of the character of the rest of the crew Jephkay has in mind, but if this is a gritty Trek I'd imagine them selling the...

    Thirded ;) Jabba's business profile, style, and sadly ... general appearance mirror Tony Soprano. :D You know he's gotta have a hand in all those pirates and mercs going about. Leoco Actum (how is this pronounced?) should be itching to discover the Hutt connection and clear them out. To balance...

    Nah dude, she said "the ill-fated zeppelin". Heisenburg could fit though for a name. ;) A two person shuttle, like the Curie: ... is about the size we're looking for. Giving a ship like this the stats you've posted is gonna represent the alieness well: Warp 3, more than twice as many HD...

    OK ... Why is it called the Hindenburg, when it hasnt nor shows signs of catastrophically failing? Who registered the ship? A registry is like the ship's license plate, some authority had to inspect it and certify it space worthy as well verifying it's primary function (escort, scout, etc)...

    I see, you're doing jedi knights like historical knights with land grants and all, thats original. Corellia, in your setting, is sandwiched between the military protectorate and Alderaan. You could give them control over a certain percentage of the Expansion Region and Mid Rim. This is how Star...

    Bigger ship sizes, check. Wanderer being mediumweight it's size still fits. Three of the 8 in a shift are engineers, cool. I dont think this number reflects the captain or first mate. Where to put the other five? No rush, just something to think about. 5K ft square, approved. Do we want to...

    Jephkay, hope your cat's better. :) I've got further questions on the Wanderer to clarify some points: I've houseruled that each ship category has a size category. Ultralights are huge, lights gargantuan, etc. I've created Awesome (-12 mod) and Titanic (-16) for Heavy and Super Heavy...

    If this Jedi cult was relegated tp the fringes, far from the orders' notice, I could see them working. The Outer Rim is like the 3rd world in that way, big and full of craziness.

    I could argue from the original trilogy but in the end you'll just do as you wish, and many of my points may not even come up. Whatever entertains your players is what works, ofcourse.

    Those that manipulate the philosophy should be expelled from the Jedi. I dont think it's complicated enough to be misunderstood. Not sure how much of the EU you're incorporating, but the Jedi have fought Sith several times in the past and wouldnt tolerate any possibility of the Dark Side...

    My system is a set of adjustments to best implement a Farscape style game using D20 Future. For this Trek adaptation, I'll be making new tweaks to the core mechanic to best reflect Star Trek. I'm currently writing Warp Drive rules to reflect what we see in canon, then I'll be adding a mechanic...

    Given the "Mirror, mirror" subject, I think harpy means the Terran Empire from the alternate universe.
