Ok, here is a draft of Kel to start with. I need to finish off feats and equipment. Suggestions? Is armor so important that I should take a proficiency? Feat suggestions?

Fenris, since armor only applies to wound damage, I generally think it's not worth the trouble (especially with your high DEX)

 

[Rhun]

Eh, Issachar wouldn't mind if they didn't get into combat, he's not so good at that. Then again, he wouldn't have much to do if no one ever got hurt.

You just keep Cyd healthy, and he'll cover Issacher in combat!

Still, though, a couple points knocked off damage applied to wounds could just allow a PC to survive a shot he wouldn't normally.

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Honestly, armour is really a matter of taste when it comes to Star Wars.

Its rarely used by non-military organizations, and even then, beyond the Empire, its never very extensive. You get the few oddballs here and there, but especially with how the Revised rules work, I've always found the benefits of a high Dex outweigh armour.

But that's just me.

True. Having looked over the armor section again, I see that there are some circumstances where armor might be helpful.

For most characters, a combat jumpsuit's only downside is the armor check penalty. My rule of thumb is that armor isn't worth it if it slows you down or reduces your Defense.

But...but...but... Boba Fett!

Ankh-Morpork: Is a blaster cannon OK as equipment? Also, would you allow a bipod attachment for a heavy repeating blaster that reduces the penalties for using it while prone? (normally, using a heavy repeating blaster without a tripod or other mount puts an extra -2 penalty on attack rolls)

If everyone was as armoured as him, he wouldn't be nearly as amazing.

Bipod/tripod mounts for a weapon like that are fine.

Though the thing is...carrying a weapon like that, or especially a blaster cannon(which is a huge weapon), is going to be both hard to lug around and pretty much impossible to conceal. Not saying you can't have one, but the group is being dropped off with no base or anything like that. Everything you guys have you carry. And the Imperials aren't exactly big fans of civilians walking around with heavy weaponry.

Three cheers for heavy blaster pistols!
