So what's the good strategy with char building? Sink as much starting XP into your attributes because those are much harder to raise?

Reading that it doesn't feel like you'd rocket out of control, or at least give the GM time to prepare for 'oh, they can jump really high now.'

Madurai posted:Ventress was a Rattataki for a while, but they seem to have retconned a specific Dathomir species into existence. It seems like they split the difference and now she was raised on Rattatak after the slaver took her from Dathomir.

I really like the idea of giving them extra XP just to buy a specialization and a Force power. Thanks.

What would be the progress if somebody wanted to play a Mandalorian Human and actually have their own suit? Is there a particular tree or do they just have to save up and Git Gud at customizing gear?

So I've been casting about wanting to run a Padawan game for the Clone Wars era and... think I maybe have a pitch? The idea I had while coming home from the FLGS is 'Orphans of Grievous' where the General killed their masters and now 4-6 half-trained Padawans running around and the Jedi are kinda hard-pressed to know what to do with them.

So letting my Padawan game percolate some, I've decided to initially stick them somewhere out of the way (they watched their masters die, so that's worth some trauma recovery) like on a world that had a Jedi Temple in the past and they find the first piece of the treasure map I've got in mind. The second world they'll hang out for a while I'm thinking will be like a DMZ planet where the Republics and Seps can intermingle and there's shenanigans, like cold war-era Berlin. (Haven't figured out just where this might be yet. I can always make my own planet of course, but I am kinda lazy. Maybe one of the Ord planets.) Has anybody toyed around with making attribute increases easier to come by? I've been looking at the two main Republic sourcebooks and seeing the canon folks in there and how a PC isn't going to measure up and that's always felt a little unfair when I see it in a game.

Talkie Toaster posted:1000% do not do this. Those NPCs are intended to be threats to entire parties, once player characters get attributes of 5-6 it gets incredibly difficult to challenge them. If say the combat char has Brawn 6 Agility 5, then any NPC that can possibly threaten them will be able to oneshot anyone else in the party whilst taking no damage from their attacks. Appreciate it. As a first-time FFG GM, that would absolutely be one of the ways I would break the game trying to be helpful to players.

So what's this I hear about starfighter combat not being super good? Is it a case of not everybody having something to do on-board the ship or just how the rules treat vehicles? Related, does anybody have a fun notion for a freighter that can hold 4-6 Padawans?

Yvonmukluk posted:How about the YT-1250? In Legends, the Trade Federation owned a bunch of them, so they could...acquire one. That's a good pick. I kind of wanted the HWK-290 but it's a tad small. (It would definitely be on my shopping list if I ever get to play.)

Perhaps whomever gets the SW RPG license next will actually see if they can have PDFs as part of the deal. Probably not but it's a nice thought.

Overemotional Robot posted:Well, since my last post in this thread I went out and bought every single book, beginner game, and gm screen. So... If they do a refresh jokes on me If it helps, you have them now and reprinting anything FFG-related seems dicey at best so just consider it RPG prepping.

It is indeed Autofire Man who my friends with more knowledge of the game have said you really need to watch out for.

PantsOptional posted:It did have one glaring flaw, though. Use the Force was a skill, and like any other skill you could take the Skill Focus feat to increase your roll. The problem is that powers such as the mind trick were rolled against the target’s 4e-style defense “saves”, and those didn’t increase at the same rate as skill bonuses when leveling. A character with Skill Focus and a decent Charisma score could mop the floor with most enemies of much higher levels with even mediocre rolls. It also had the weird flaw of also being really good at like levels 7-14 or so and kinda pants any other time.

alg posted:Saga had some poor skill choices that scaled too well, like making Use the Force a skill that you could specialize in. Yeah, I remember reading a couple of folks saying that the game worked really well at precisely levels 7-13/14* and everything else was not great. *Which amusingly I believe were the levels in which a Jedi became a Knight and at 14 they graduated to Master.

Owlbear Camus posted:It would be harder to run, but even funnier to play a game of ISB agents where you are all trying to destroy it from the inside, but no one is aware the other one is a double agent. Waaaay back during the West End Games days right after TIE Fighter came out, so inspired my group played an Imperial group for a while and I wish we'd thought to do that. The GM, who was probably overwhelmed with the group wanting him to do it*, just had them go after worse people but then he stopped and thought that it was hard to get worse than blowing up a planet so we switched over to a more traditional tramp freighters thing. *Of course I know him. He's me.

Back of the Bus posted:I know this isn't a "general Star Wars Roleplaying" thread, but is there one? I'm just getting my Star Wars WEG D6 game off the ground and would love a place to shoot the poo poo about wild die rolls and D6 combat. I don't know if we're that picky, especially quiet as the thread is.
