Hello folks. I've really been enjoying Imperial Assault so far and I have been thinking about creating some custom content. There is a lot of great artwork online that fits in with the IA aesthetic nicely. Below is a concept picture from the Bioware MMO The Old Republic.

I've had this concept in my mind for a Jedi adventure that could be used with the Core set components.

The story would be that the rebels have found a forgotten temple while searching for a new base site. It is inhabited by Jedi Outcast that have seemingly been spared Order 66. They are trying to convince them to join the rebel cause against the Empire.

The Sith know of the Temple though, and have been attempting to slowly corrupti the force users there. And if they will not turn, they will be destroyed.

Can our heroes disover the traitor in their midst? Can the Outcasts be convinced to join the rebellion, or with they succomb to the darkside?

My first order of business is to create 6 new heroes, the first based on the picture above. I would really like other players input so I can have some fun, well balanced heroes that will play well in any campaign.

My intention is for this hero to be a tank; drawing enemies away from his allies, soaking up and dishing out ample damage.

Edit: Sorry, my formatting went nuts.

Oh drat. I was hoping this was a custom miniature. Still, it looks fun.

I know a lot of people disparage the old Guardian, Sentinel, Consular classes of Jedi from KotOR, but I'm a fan and I'm not gonna deny it, so if 3 of your 6 heroes corresponded to those classes, I wouldn't complain.

I was planing on Jedi Guardian, Jedi Consular, Jedi Sentinel, Jedi Healer, Gray Paladin, and Wayward Padawn (unless I can find a better 6th.)

Jedi Shadow for the 6th?

Maybe it would be a good idea to have 6 padawans who managed to evade Order 66. As both the Republic and the Imperials are searching for them, they have to rely on their Force abilities more and so will go towards a certain Jedi class.

Kinda like you have certain class cards and each skill you choose, leads you more towards a certain Jedi Class. For instance, if a player learns 2 skills of the same Jedi type class, they become this class. In your example; if a padawan learns Dauntless and Jedi Reflexes.

They will all start with a lightsaber and will all have the same starting skill (for example Bulwark). The other skill will differ for each padawan. One will be more offensive, one more defensive, one more healing, one more exploring,.... SO each will have a certain small difference and from then on you choose what kind of Jedi they become...maybe they can even choose Dark Side classes and thus becoming Sith

Here is my second custom character; the Jedi Consular. I decided to give this character a controller/healer build.

I found this artwork online and thought it fit perfectly:

Arden Ru

Wrench: [G]

XP cost: 4

Jedi Shadow for the 6th?

Not outside the realm of possibility. I allready folded the Jedi Healer into the Consular so I may have room for a Shadow.

Maybe it would be a good idea to have 6 padawans who managed to evade Order 66. As both the Republic and the Imperials are searching for them, they have to rely on their Force abilities more and so will go towards a certain Jedi class.

Kinda like you have certain class cards and each skill you choose, leads you more towards a certain Jedi Class. For instance, if a player learns 2 skills of the same Jedi type class, they become this class. In your example; if a padawan learns Dauntless and Jedi Reflexes.

One will be more offensive, one more defensive, one more healing, one more exploring,.... SO each will have a certain small difference and from then on you choose what kind of Jedi they become...maybe they can even choose Dark Side classes and thus becoming Sith

That is an excellent idea for a campaign. Not what I had in mind for this adventure, but worth exploring in a future one.
