Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (FULL)

[Darth Ecks]

Well, I wasn't very knowledgable about these species before I got the Ultimate Alien Anthology. That book rocks. And if you wanted you could easily dump them into other d20 games, if you want a different species. The variety is tremendous. Can be pretty helpful considering that other than the basic DnD races, the other intelligent species aren't very well balanced for players.

Indeed. Darth Ecks and I were chatting about this last night (we were roommates in college), and I was thinking of all the cool ways to populate an original fantasy world with imported SW species. I may do that someday, when I eventually get the UAA.

Hey all I have a question...is there a galactic map in the pre revision rulebook?

 

[Darth Ecks]

Yeah, there is. It's pretty basic, shows the various sectors, about 50 planets, some trade routes. It says that it is the map for 25 years after episode 4. Consequently they do have where Alderaan would be, but the name is in parentheses. I don't know what is in the revised, so I don't know if its the same one.

 

[Daiymo]

Ok did a little update in the opening thread, posted a link with a galatic map url, and a little something about the galaxy of the games timeframe and technology-nothing earthshattering...

 

[Darth Ecks]

Quick questions...are we supposed to assume that we have crafted our own lightsabers already? And can we choose our own colors?

 

[Douane]

Darth,

I can answer that (Because I asked the same question).

None of us has constructed his own LS; we all are still using the ones given us by the order.


[BTW, there's something strange going with our email converstation. I only just received the mail you sent 11 hours ago.]

Well, I once received an email two months after it was sent. And thanks for clearing that up.

EDIT: Question about lightsaber crafting...how similar is it in revised to the original? If you don't have the original, it basically says the jedi must gather the parts, set the crystals up with Con, Wis, and Int checks (DC 20 or lower), and then assemble the lightsaber with a craft DC check dependent on level. This requires 1 Force point and if it succeeds, you get two Force points and your own lightsaber.

 

[Douane]

Just looked it up, Dath.

It has stayed the same way, except that you can bring down the DC of the checks by investing extra time.

Prereqs include: Possesseion all three basic force and feats and being deemed ready by one's master.

Craft DC is 20 at this level.


Hope this helps!

[Re. PC-creation: I'm working right now on revising the draft, anything you really want to focus on?]

 

[Darth Ecks]

Well...actually it is exactly the same then...I was just trying to simplify it a bit. And other than what is in the e-mail I sent you, I don't have anything right now, maybe after I see the revision.
