[Saga] Star Wars: Rebels with Style OOC

[Shalimar]

I'd think that the rebel one would be pretty similair to the Imperial one since they both came from the Republic. Does Captain Valin come into the field with us? I get that the Rebellion is definitely a very loose organization but it does still have a nominal chain of command otherwise it'd all be chaos with everyone so ruggedy individual that they all do their own thing instead of working together.

Valin's actually got his own ship, so he doesn't get his hands dirty as much. But the ship he commands, and that takes you guys where you need to go, is a Marauder Corvette, so its nothing amazing but carries a bit of support craft, too.

I'll make sure to put up some stats for that ship, too.

It should be mentioned, my main aversion to nailing down rank has to do with the players. I don't like the idea of one player having an overall command veto over the group. Its nothing against anyone specific, I just don't like that idea. So I prefer to play it loosely, emphasize it loosely and only direct it at you guys as a group. There isn't really a commander for your team, as much as people with different skills. Now, having a leader type is different than someone that can pull rank. Its the latter I don't want to have floating around if at all possible.

I can definitely understand not wanting someone who can pull rank within the party (or on major Star Wars NPCs), but if Istara keeps up with the path I've put her on, she should be able to pull rank on random low-level rebel officers now, and in the long run on anyone short of a flag officer.

There's a balance in here somewhere, and I think it rests in essentially hand waving things on the player related ranks in relation to one another. i.e. you guys can just ignore ranks amongst one another fine, but maybe take it into account if necessary towards NPCs or such.

Hm...any sign of Blackrat or Yeoman? I know the site's been difficult so might be hard to get online(this is the first I could get here all day), but I would like to try to get the character stats fixed with two new levels and moving again as soon as we can.

 

[Blackrat]

Aye, I'm here. I was going to post in the morning but EN was down. Now it's the middle of night and I can't think straight enough to make coherent english... I'll get on giving you level-up info as soon as I am in more clear state of mind .

How did we do hit points for this game, again?

Edit: I see that AMG rolled them.

 

[drothgery]

Okay, except for hit points, Istara is 6th level.

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Yep, HP rolls are on my end. So make sure to mention here which two classes you're adding and we'll get that in as they come.

For Istara: 10 more hp (6 + 2 + 2 Con)

I've been posting stats/backgrounds for the more important NPCs over in the character thread. Should have the last couple done by tonight. Also, I'm going to go ahead and start a new thread in a little while, too. We can at least get this moving again without the stats being completely finished.

Kay is a Scoundral 2/Soldier 2/Scout 2

 

[Blackrat]

Yea, now that I can finally again get to ENW I can post something. I'll be probably taking another two levels of soldier but I have to confirm that later. I might also go with more scoundrel levels.

After the escape Deurr makes sure he gets to tinker with the shuttle. He is a tech-loving gearhead afterall . He'll be ofcourse assigned to the group for his expertice on explosives. If there is something that needs to be taken down, there is no-one more qualified than Deurr (Well except maybe the Y-Wing pilots ). He'll be trying to requisition back at least some of the explosives used during the bombing of the data-center.

Deurr will keep the emotional distance from the others. He still doesn't trust them though he has come to at least give some respect to them.
