Message: <blockquote data-quote="doghead" data-source="post: 3797706" data-attributes="member: 8243">SW - DiscussionWelcome to the discussion everyone. So far, the concepts all seem pretty good. Meanwhile, a few more thoughts.SW is intrinsically a higher level game. Higher, at least, than I usually play. Jedi Knights start at 7th. Jedi Masters are at least 12th level. With this in mind, I'm probably going to start at third level rather than first - not the newest of recruits, but not veteran soldiers either.There will be combat in the game. But plot hooks will probably revolve more around investigation of unusual events. So the squad will need to have the sort of skill set that would lead to their being selected for more unconventional type operations - something like a couple of soldiers, a scout or scoundrel or two and an officer. They will probably sit somewhat outside the regular chain of command. But we can sort this out as concepts are developed.I'm going to use the heroic classes for Storm-troopers (rather than the non-heroic classes used in the rules). Soldier would be the default class for Storm-troopers, but scout and scoundrel would also be possible. There will probably be a number of Storm-trooper variants to reflect this diversity. I'll probably set up a 'required' set of skills/feats in order to qualify as a Storm-trooper - covering armour and weapons proficiency as well as key skills. Something like this will probably apply to all characters. Sort of 'basic training'.I will allow force users. This is something of a departure from the canon I suspect. But the force is cool. Besides, the Emperor is no fool. He knows force users will continue to be born. Better that they are moulded in his image than being free to develop as they wish. But in general, force users are somewhat despised by the Imperial Army. They have spent the last decade hunting down and killing the surviving Jedi. Being a force user is a career killer for any officer - captain at best say. Consider Admiral Motti's attitude towards Darth Vader and his 'sorcerer's ways' as being indicative of the culture of the Imperial Forces as a whole.dogheadaka thotd</blockquote>
