Star Wars 5e? Who would be interested?

[ImStetson]

Hey I found this cool Star Wars D&D conversion awhile back. I was inspired so I wrote more for it. Check out the original and my supplement. I hope its useful to some who might want to use D&D 5e system with a Star Wars setting.

I came across your post on Reddit, both the original conversion and your supplement are pretty cool, both of you have put in a lot of work. I think I'd likely use these for star wars rather than the current RPG system for star wars.

I love the jedi as a gish archetype. There is room in D&D for this. A telekinetic psychic warrior-mage. All good.

Essentially, this is a dexterous Eldritch Knight with a better selection of spells.

I guess, if the base class of the monk was less baked in, and there was more design space for subclasses, it could make a pretty awesome jedi.

Always preferred the 80s Star Wars RPG, myself.

Star Wars d6 is a great system. I wish I could find my old rulebooks.

I had a lot of fun with Star Wars Saga - some of the ideals in it are visible in 5e

I'd quite like to update Star Wars Saga Edition using 5e sensibilities. Bounded Accuracy would fix the issue with different progressions for skills and attacks / defenses, which threw off the balance between Force powers and regular attacks.

And I always really liked the very flexible multiclassing system - it felt like it was only 2-3 short steps removed from being effectively a classless system, and again, toning down level-based attack / defense progressions would make that even easier.

The math started breaking down at high levels, so yes bounded accuracy would help tons. There are very few classes, so backgrounds *could* help (although that would add work).

There was a Feat that gave you +5 to your proficiency bonus (which was ridiculous IMO), I think it would work better if it gave expertise.

I like Star Wars d20 for my own homebred mash-up mixtures from different franchises. I miss the expanded universe, but some sagas was a bot "jump the shark". Do you miss the yuuzhan-vongs and their biopunk technology?
