[SW Saga] The Second K'ril Incursion (OOC) [RE-RECRUITING]

[drothgery]

Before I start giving the impression of some kind of "rules inquisitor" - I was merely taking a closer look because of Blackrat's PC being a fellow Twi'lek (and Shado making Sianni's social skills somewhat superfluous).

Although I'm going to try and put together a well-balanced party from the proposed characters, it's likely there's going to be some overlap in capabilities in a six-PC group. That's okay. Besdies, some tasks will likely demand two or more PCs with similar skills.

Inventory of proposed characters...

Tomalor (stonegod)
Ithorian Male Scoundrel 7/Force Adept 1

Jesek Pal (James Heard)
Human Male Jedi 7/Jedi Knight 1

Kacela Nejis (shayuri)
Human Jedi 7 / Jedi Knight 1

Siannia'mersu (Sianni Amersu in Galactic Basic) (Douane)
Female Twi'lek Scoundrel 3/Soldier 4/Gunslinger 1

Kurden Vaas (Paper Bard)
Male Echani (Human) Soldier 7/Martial Artist

Hawke Reyal (Zurai)
Male Human Scout 7 / Ace Pilot 1

Shad'Osaren (Shado Saren in basic) (Blackrat)
Male Rutian-Twi'lek Noble 7/Scout 1

... which is 7 proposals. I'm still inclined to keep recruiting open until Friday; I've never used a first-come, first-serve policy.

Edit: 1 last proposal
Theta Fett (Phoenix8008)
Medium Human (Mandalorian) Soldier 7/Elite Trooper 1

Oh, I totally agree, overlap will be inevitable. My post wasn't meant as a complaint but merely to note that Shado easily eclipses Sianni on all those fields. (And that was why I was looking more closely at the PC because I was wonderin how the two would look in comparison.)

And I am really the last one to stupidly "demand" that nobody take the same talents/feats/skills as my PC who might not even make into the group.

Here's a droid I whipped up as a personal bodyguard. As for what it looks like I was thinking about it being modified Mark III War Droid from KotOR

[sblock=Mark III bodyguard droid]Medium 4th degree droid, nonheroic 6
Init +8; Perception +8
Languages: Basic, Binary
-----------------------------------
Defences: Ref 14, Fort 12, Will 10
hp 21; Treshold 17
Immune droid stats
-----------------------------------
Speed 6 walking
Melee; Force pike +6 (2d8+2)
Ranged; Blaster rifle +4 (3d8) or
Ranged; Blaster rifle +2 (4d8) with rapid shot
Base attack 4
-----------------------------------
str 14, dex 11, -, int 10, wis 11, cha 7
Feats: Armor light, Improved treshold, Rapid shot, Skill Training Init, Toughness, Weapons; rifle; advanced melee.
Skills: Perception 8, Init 8
Systems: Walking, heuristic processor, 2 hands, Durasteel shell.
Possession: Blaster rifle, Force pike[/sblock]
I modified the droid from super battle droid by modifying feats and systems. I calculated it to cost 6950 credits by removing and adding systems and the force-pike, but if you would kindly check this. Since you said some droid components would cost more because of the time-line I think a price of 7000-8000 could be okay?

I'm not going to take a detailed look at anyone's stats until this weekend, after I choose the PCs. But general rules of thumb is to figure

- droids cost 10% more than list
- vehicles cost about the same as their Rebellion-era equivalents, but weapons that do more than 4 dice of damage will typically do a die less, shield ratings and/or DR will typically be lower, consumables capacity will generally be higher, and hyperdrive will typically be 2 factors slower

Hello, I just recently got the SW Saga rules and was interested in giving it a go here in PBP.

Looking at the field of characters, I'm hard pressed to find an empty spot for a role to jump into. A quick question first to see if one of my ideas might be possible. What is the status in this time period of Mandalorians, or do they even exist as such yet? I'll spend the time till I see an answer to that in thinking up possible characters and will post something when I have it today or tomorrow. Thanks.

The Mandalorians are around, and about as organized as they've typically been in the KotOR/Tales of the Jedi/Old Republic era.

Basically, a few notes...

- Shortly after KotOR II, Candarous / Mandalore succeeded in reunifying the Mandalorian clans for a time
- Several Mandalorian clans were hired by the K'ril, both as standard mercenaries, and to build and train their armed forces, in the first K'ril Incursion (~80 years before this game, and ~150 years after the first KotOR game)
- After the first K'ril Incursion, many of the surviving K'ril soldiers were absorbed into the Mandalorian clans, having nowhere else to go

Hmmm, so playing a Human Mandalorian would be possible then? I'm leaning (with this concept) towards some mix of Scout/Soldier going towards either Bounty Hunter or Elite Trooper PrC. Sound okay to you for fleshing out further? Maybe hired by the Republic in case they run into any Mando type soldiers working with the K'ril again.

Works.

Just a bump to give any stragglers one last chance to write up a character.
