Hello just confused.

If a hutt wanted to create a kajidic does he just have to hope and wait he becomes the oldest in his family or can he just go and create one himself?

Has anyone gone through creating their own kajidic for a player or NPC?

From what I've gathered, PC hutts are always very young.

So, not going to be a kajidic in most cases.

It takes money, power and influence to start your own kajidic, so I think you might be able to after a long series of adventures, but starting out as one? I don't think so.

It'd be like starting out a player as the king of an entire planet or something like that.

You could have an ambitious young Hutt start out with the Homestead/Business rules, and basically have the Homestead/Business be the start of his own kajidic. But he'd have to be super careful about keeping it under wraps until he was powerful enough to be an actual contender among the other, ancient kajidics. He'd have to appear subservient to his own clan, lest he be revealed as a brash young upstart and the Hutt Council sent Ziro's Mama to sit on him.

That would actually be a real kickass campaign. I wanna do that some day.

Well I was actually just going to make one as an NPC so wouldn't be game breaking but would be the kind of thing where would need PCs help.

Creating the Kajidic would just be to appear more legitimate to the underworld, and has the secret approval of the Hutts previous much stronger Kajidic but operates under its own name.

It's a chance for Hutt's of both kajidics to become more powerful, and easier chance for PCs to work closely with a Hutt if they need to establish the legitimacy for themselves so they can have access to more Hutt territory. Eg. Slave worlds etc.

Doing it as an NPC, you don’t have to follow any standard rules. You can just make it up on the fly.

That said, using the Homestead/Business rules as a guideline might be helpful to you.

With regards to the underlying politics, etc… it sounds like you’ve already got a good handle on that.

So, yeah — sounds kinda cool.

i think a starting Player creating a kajidic would make him look like the Star Wars version of this guy'

Overall not something desirable for a budding gangster
