[Saga] Star Wars: Rebels with Style OOC

[drothgery]

FWIW, as near as I can tell, the complete set of non-Jedi/Sith/Force Adept human female minis is:

Rebel Storm 13/60 - Princess Leia, Senator
Revenge of the Sith 14/60 - Mon Mothma
Universe 50/60 - Princess Leia, Rebel Hero
Champions of the Force 31/60 - Queen Amidala
Bounty Hunters 09/60 - Princess Leia, Hoth Commander
Alliance & Empire 16/60 - Princess Leia
Rebels & Imperials 05/60 - Princess Leia, Rebel Hero
The Force Unleashed 11/60 - Juno Eclipse
The Force Unleashed 19/60 - Princess Leia of Cloud City

Now, the Juno Eclipse on Wookieepedia actually looks a lot like Istara, but I'm not sure the mini does...

There are a few other female minis that are under generic names. Its not vital they look EXACTLY like the characters, more that its at least close and then distinct from the others. I went through mine and pulled out a group that might work well enough. Mostly these would likely be seen in a top-down image, so the details of them aren't as important all over. More a need for a distinct shape/pose so its not too similar to the others, along with colours that do the same.

Here's what I've pulled out...

Garret: Kashyyyk Trooper
-Had some other armoured minis but this is some unique looking Scout Trooper armour, ignoring the smaller weapons.

Kay: Old Republic Recruit
-mostly fits the physical description and the mini has a blaster pistol

Istara: Mara Jade
-Closest I've got to a blonde. Sadly no Juno Eclipse, though if that changes this could, too. Though I do actually have the Mon Mothma mini that isn't being used for anyone else.

Deurr: Separatist Commando
-I do have an Ubese mini...but its Leia in her disguise and so has the staff and no uh...heavy weapons.
[sblock]

Lia: Rebel Pilot
-This is the one I'm the most unsure of. I have a Princess Leia unused and a Padme, but the latter is in a very similar pose to some of the other minis. Lia does also have the pilot suit in her inventory, and the orange helps to make the mini different from the others in the group.

The pilot mini looks good.

So I got a hold of the Knights of the Old Republic Campaign book yesterday.

While, of course, much of it is era specific, there are a few talent trees/feats and such that work in any era. That's my way of saying if you guys get it, or if I see anything particularly that looks like it would fit one of your characters, its probably okay to use.

Mine should arrive tomorrow

Mine should arrive tomorrow

Monday here.

 

[Blackrat]

Yeah, I'll be getting mine tomorrow . I have to say, the SAGA edition books have proven themselves to be pretty high-quality.

 

[possum]

Already have mine. Haven't looked up the crunchy stuff, as I've mainly focused on the new info in the book.

A thought on combat...

This would really only affect those of you who like to do your own rolls, but its a possible way to speed things up on that end. How would you feel about me putting the Defense/HP of enemies in the initial combat post(or possibly the character thread), that way you'd know right then if it hit and if the target stays up.

I've usually avoided this as I worry it can change the feel a bit if you know what you're going for, and this may not even be something necessary. More than anything, it was just a thought and I wanted to see what you guys thought about it.

At the moment Invisible castle is down so none of us are doing our own rolls.

On another note, I have mixed feelings on Knights of the Old Republic. Its a bit power creepish, and I really am not a fan of putting stuff in a book that has to wait until another book comes out to fully understand (scum and Villiany), but those references aren't too bad.

I'm happy that there is finally an ability to create Illusions, but needing to spend a force points to do it is pretty painful, I think that it should have just allowed you to spend your mind trick power on the illusion.

Primitive Block is good and bad, good in that it acknowledges that anyone who can use the force can have the same reflexes a jedi has, but horrible in that you have to be at least level 10 to take a talent that has a pre-req that the jedi base-class can take without a pre-req at level 1. Given the fact its a talent with a pre-req and a fairly high level requirement I think it should have folded in the ability to deflect as well.

I am also really liking the breadth of talents and powers that they added. They will allow a lot of differentiation in force users.

I like that they added a few non-combat feats. I really like that they added a feat to let melee combatants qualify for Elite Trooper without having to buy Point Blank Shot or dip into Scoundral.
