Nifty.
PBS can be traded for a similar feat (so like Rapid Shot would be acceptable but Surgical Expertise would not be). :)

Huh? If you take wealth, then you get the money generated by the feat. Just keep the "Don't make broken characters" rule in mind. :)

Aye, nifty indeed.

Sure. I was taking it because it seems the only way I can buy a ship.

Because what sort of crime lord Fringer would I be without a ship of my own?

I'd have to look into it but IIRC it is acceptable.

You could always take out a loan... With an ornery Hutt Loan Shark...

I was thinking Vong shaper, and fluffed as somone who Igniv stepped in to offer a job based on his skill/need to get off planet quickly. That or a sidekick/studentish character.


Hm... What ship to go with...


EDIT: How's a prototype Ghtroc 720 sound for a ship? DM's choice of benefits/drawback.

Heya guys. I'm playing the Mrlssi slicer/mechanic/starship designer. Secondary social abilities too, but far from being a dedicated face character.

Tech specialist feat is in effect, with superior weapons and armor tech just recently gained (we advanced a level at the end of chapter 2). If we get any free time, my character will most likely be able to upgrade your armor/weapons free or at cost (assuming you don't get on his bad side).

After the first mission, the group acquired a modified shuttle with a lot of seats and cargo space, which was completely overhauled and modified in the downtime between missions 1 and 2. At the end of the second mission, we've just been assigned command of an ardent-class frigate. I'm sure another ship would fit in the hangar of the frigate, but Felhammer, you might want to consider giving the prototype some unique advantages so it's not completely overshadowed by the Dawn.

I decided to make another character out of boredom, and ended up with something pretty awesome.
Dr. Sharka, Felucian shaman, wanderer, adept, medic, and Imperial Missionary.

http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetvie...sheetid=453147

I gave him a wide variety of force powers, but stayed away from alot of offensive powers, as they dont really suit him. Force immersion lets him stealth, and bring along someone else. Fully telepathic. Able to give first aid and do surgery as needed, and use Vital transfer when thats not enough. He can get along socially, but he's not going to overshadow any face types.
In short, a good support character that can bring alot to the group, both in combat and out.

I'll expand his backstory and do up contacts/enemies soon.

stupid me forgot to ask you a question!

In the threats of the galaxy there is a martial arts talent tree that is mentioned to be for the Elite Trooper... However it would seem more in line with the martial artist? Would you allow this? I can live with a no and I will be making my character as an elite soldier to make it for the deadline but if I make the cut... well we can take it from there.

The Martial Arts Master gets access to the "Master of Teras Kasi" Talent Tree from Threats of the Galaxy. Look under "Talents" in the Martial Arts Master write-up.

Here we go. Sheet with backstory/friends/enemies. Items'll be done soonish.

If having my Minion gained from Crime Lord listed as a contact doesn't count, I'd be glad to add a different one.

This has little to no bearing on anyone's chances of getting into the game, but I've chosen preliminary nicknames for your characters.

Sairen is now 'Blue.' Unimaginative, but that's what I called our last Chiss, so that's what you get called.

Sharka is now 'Bones', because I refuse to have a doctor character in the party and not call him 'Bones'.

Igniv is now 'Twitch', because that +15 initiative means you are a twitchy s.o.b., at least in my book.

Wrex is now 'Lummox'. Just 'cause.

These will probably change as the group coheres into a party, but based on dossiers, this is what I'm calling you at introduction.

Honestly? That was entirely unintended.


I just figured initiative was useful, and had other skills already trained.

Does Jarik have a nickname for Graff, or is Graff just Graff?

And if +15 Init makes someone a "twitchy s.o.b.," what does Graff's +17 Init make him?

Graff is Deadeye. You know why.

Expect me to start using them more, now that we have our own command. Also, noticed one of our applicants is sporting some hardware in place of his biology AND he's a drinker. Peas in a pod we'll be.
