Clone Wars Campaign Guide

[Crothian]

So, far a neat book. I haven't gotten to go through it all yet having just got it today but I like what I'm seeing. I really like the chapter on the planets. There are a About 18 new contested planets as well as many planet updates. It tells what is going on on Bespin during this time for instance. There seems to be 18 planets they do that too as well, wonder if they did the same number on purpose. Anyone have any questions on this book?

Very nice! What does it look like they have in there for using squad rules in larger battles?

 

[Stormborn]

How much non-era specific info is there? IOW what do we get by way of talents, feats, force powers, and prestige class?

 

[JediSoth]

Is there any information in there that pertains to the Clone Wars television series, or is this all based on Attack of the Clones and the novels?

There is about a half dozen pages on the mass combat and even a little more on large scale battle conflicts.

9 new races, new talents for the Saga classes, 4 skills that get new uses, 22 new feats, information on followers, new talents for prestige classes and 3 new prestige classes, force gets its own chapter as does droids and equipment, plus there are new vehicles.

Scored my copy last night, and there's plenty of info to be had from not only the 3D series, but also stuff from the 2D series and other bits of the EU.

The follower mechanics are pretty neat in concept and look pretty simple in how they work. Haven't really delved into the mass combat rules yet. Force Powers are a bit on the odd side, with Shatterpoint not being anywhere near as game-breaking as a lot of the fan-based versions were. Light Side talent tree is kinda nifty, as are the Republic Commando trees and the Force Traditions.

Ah followers rules, very nice to see those rules come out. I'm just itching to dig into the mass combat rules!
