Star Wars: The Rebellion (OOC Thread)

[possum]

It is one year before the events featured in Episode IV, the Rebellion has still yet to discover the dreaded Death Star, and are currently in the process of fleeing their base on Dantooine for the Massassi Temples of Yavin IV.

This game is expected to play at least over the five year timespan of the Original Trilogy of the Star Wars Saga. Please note that almost every single novel, comic book, role-playing supplement, and video game in that time period has happened, is happening, or will happen in this game's universe. I am a huge supporter of the EU, however, as this is up to the Will of the Force (dice), changes will almost certainly happen.

Game Rules[

* This is a game for 4-6 players with characters of the 3rd. level.
* The following sources are eligible to be used in character creation: Star Wars Revised Core Rulebook, Rebellion Era Sourcebook, Ultimate Alien Anthology, Heroes Guide and etc.
* Ability stats are to be rolled using Invisible Castle and with 5d6 (drop the lowest two dice.)
* As this takes place in the Rebellion Era, no character may be a Jedi when they start out.
* You are allowed to take the Force-Sensitive feat, whether or not the character knows about it, will be up to you
* An added note, with the Force-Sensitive feat, during a time of great need, I may decide that the character may unknowingly use the Force to escape the dangerous situation.
* All characters will start with three Force Points.

* Please Have Fun.

I do not own any of the books, but I would like to play. Is there an SRD like with DnD that has character class, race, equipment, feats, etc. that I can go to?

Thanks.

 

[possum]

Unfortunately there is no SRD. However, if you don't mind you can give me the basics of the character you want, I can create him for you.

 

[Aeson]

whats invisible castle?

Is a fighter pilot doable? If not how about a bounty hunter who decided to turn to help the rebellion?

 

[Aeson]

wow thats some stats.

I may have to use those or do you roll for the player?

I'm thinking of playing if you had not guessed already.

 

[Xael]

I'm also interested. Thinking about Scoundrel 2/Soldier 1, some kind of a space transport pilot/hacker/whatever with a BFG.

Do you roll for stats, or do I use the ones I already rolled.

 

[Ranger Rick]

What is a BFG?

I have these scores. What a weird combo. I assume I would use these stats? Looks like I rolled yatzee.

Yeah a fighter pilot is doable. Do you want straight Soldier or do you wish to multiclass? And since I am not allowed to post or distribute the movie's X-Wing for you, I'll have to hand you an older model of X-Wing. It's not as good, but it's a free and legal full stat block.

And keep in mind about the hit point system in this game. You get the Hit Die from your class as well as a seperate pool called Wound Points. The wound points are just your constitution score and they remain static throughout the entire campaign. Critical hits are taken off of the wound points, so are you sure you want your Constitution that low?

And everybody rolls for themselves on the program.
