Deeper Education

[Fenris2]

Oh Gosh! I couldn't stop laughing after this one. Anyway, when is this thing gonna get on? Do we have a date? And if we do, could someone remind me as I don't like backchecking posts?

I believe around the 18th...

That is correct! Tomorrow afternoon, when I return home from work, I shall open the offical story thread (I'll post a link here when I do).

I've set up a rogue's gallery thread here: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=183177 I'd like everyone to re-post their characters there, so I'll have all the information in one easy-to-reach spot. Also, please re-post the information about your students (right after your character information) so I have have that organized and accessable as well. I've already made a list of the students, but as you'll see it's a heavily edited and biased one...

You'll note that the intorduction to and parts of the rogue's gallery thread are written from the perspective of a historian investigating the lives of your characters from a long, long time after the events of the story that we're about to tell. From her point of view, things seem very grim indeed--but keep in mind that she's just a historian and prone to mistakes. And no Jedi's fate is set in stone...

 

[Master Tyren]

Just a question and a comment ...

Are we considered the highest level masters at this academy? Or do we answer to a higher level of Jedi? If so, how many? who are they? is it very important? Just wondering.

Also, I didn't realize that the Defense +1 abilities stacked, therefore, I need to make a correction to Tyren's Defense score.

Hehe, I also didn't realize that the Deflect (Attack) ability stacked, lol, therefore I gotta change the sheet again, sorry.

You are not the the only instructors at the academy, nor are you considered to be "in charage", but you are each considered important and are assumed to take your fair share of responsibility for the day-to-day running of the academy.

The head of the academy is Atharias, an older humanoid who was one of the academy's three original founding members (note that this means he is at least three hundred years old--he keeps his actual age a secret). There are six other instructors at the academy, all older Jedi. Although the academy stresses that all the instructors are to be considered an equals, the older instructors tend to recieve more respect and are more often asked to provide advice to Atharias.

After looking at a couple of the other characters I see that Tyren's strongest advantage that he can put out. Maybe his power should be something the D+D weapon master's Ki Damage: You can do full damage with a weapon once per day, but you must declare that you are using the power before rolling to hit (and maybe some vitality cost). In Tyren's case he would do 42 points of damage with a hit. I think that this would be more useful then waiting through rounds of combat (Even though that was a good idea too). Would this be okay for Tyren's power?

I think that this would be an excellent power, but let's mix it up a bit. Let's say that the ability is usable any number of times per day, but that the cost becomes greater and greater (since it is quite a drain on Tyren's life force). The first time Tyren uses the power in a day, it costs him 10 vitality. The second time doubles that cost, and each subsequent use of the ability doubles the previous cost.

Droids:

1x Used Droid Star Fighter 5,000 Wayne, quirk: gets easily lost, mod: beam weapons have alt trigger set to 1d10x2 for training purposes
1x Used R2 Astromech Droid 2,250 Timone, quirk: thinks he is smarter than most living beings

Other:

1 Pot Bellied Pig Priceless "Captain" Pumba, Nor's pet, "runs" ship

Hmm...I see. May I assume that the droid and the pig are the best of friends?

 

[Paper_Bard]

Timone and Pumba? (Bursts out laughing)

 

[Fenris2]

Hmm...I see. May I assume that the droid and the pig are the best of friends?

Mostly yes. ;-) Then again, Pumba is not as bright as Movie Pumba. And, there are Timone/Pumba issues with Pumba's litterbox, since Nor usualy has Timone clean it and Timone hates mess.

Plus, as with anyone who has ever had a pet with a litter box well knows, the thing any animal loves most is using a freshly scooped litter box.



Oh, I switched around a few skills, and changed my feats like I had wanted. I picked up a few dark side skills at 1 rank, to reflect that Tolark has studied enough about the Sith and their abilities to use them a bit. The feat that's sort of like Bardic Knowledge is Perfect Memory (1d20 +int+4 to know stuff. DC10 is commonly known stuff, DC30 for forgotten lore, other DCs in between).
