Build your Force user #1: Starter Character

By mouthymerc, in General Discussion

In the vein of Aways YBtC threads I thought it would be interesting to create a thread showing off Force user characters built by the community to get an appreciation of what can be done.

So here is a thread for it, if it interests anyone. I figured we could do this on multiple levels with the first being starter characters and then later ones using more xp like "knight" level.

So a couple of things to keep in mind:

  • These are characters created from any FFG book.
  • All characters must use the morality system and must be a Force user of some sort, but you may use careers and specs from any books in combination if you so choose.

People buy things that aren't characteristics at character creation? I don't understand.

I use excess XP for none characteristics.

Nice! Question: are these meant to be "established" characters (as in from the Star Wars canon/Legends) or just any old PC we like to create? Cuz...ideas, so many ideas.

In the first game I GM'd, my players failed to listen to me and only increased one characteristic each (one player actually didn't increase any at all). That was...a rough go.

Any character ideas. I'd rather see people's own ideas but if they want to create an established character or their own riff on one then that is fine too.

I have Talents: Street Smarts(5) and Reflect(5)

Force Power: Sense.

My first XP gain will be directed into Shien Technique I just like the idea of heaps of reflect. I will also try and get some armour that has a range defence to it just to introduce some chances for adding setback dice to my opponents rolls.

Looking forwards this will be a very slow character to improve, but I am thinking that will be far more fun.

Oh I've been hoping to see one of these set up, just my luck I have to wait until later so I can get my copy of the Beta and check this out properly! :unsure:

Had an idea for a character somewhat similar. A former stormtrooper left for dead that becomes a merc. The original idea was a Hired Gun/Bodyguard/ FSEx. He was Force sensitive and probably would have been tapped to become a shadow guard if not for the "left for dead". I adjusted him somewhat using the career/spec from F&D and added a shield a la Kilian Rangers . He would be a tank. I would also eventually take either Gadgeteer or Artisan for adapting his shield to a power shield gauntlet and his firearm to a siang lance and take Sense and Enhance powers. Not that I'll ever get to play as a player, but it is nice to dream.
