Rolling Yoda's Class?

By Andrew SubSmith, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

Hi Everybody! Thanks for taking the time to read this and help me out.

I am a GM an EOTE campaign and one of my new PCs are interested in rolling a Phrog, what Yoda's class is commonly referred too as. We have lots of unique races in our game. A Deshade, and A Dug, a Zabrak and more, each of which all the base character stats and Wound/Strain Threshhold and any unique talents and starting EXP we're taking from a Menagerie I found somewhere on Internet and printed for my group, but this menagerie doesn't include the Phrog.

I plan on just whipping up the base information and keep in recorded in case I ever have to use it again, but I was looking for feedback. I figured Perhaps a 1 in brawn and a 3 in cunning or start. Or perhaps a 3 in agility would be more appropriate. What should their starting EXP and wound/ strain threshhold be?

Thanks again.

The Menagerie I was talking about.

Where did you get "Phrog" from?

I've never heard that.

Also, Yodas species is almost completely unknown.

Even Wookieepedia is slim on information on them: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Yoda's_species

EDIT: Scraped the bottom of the internet and came up with where "phrog" comes from. It's something Lucas said in an interview, and he said it very tounge-in-cheek, but he called yoda a "frog" and someone took the liberty of spelling it as "phrog" on the internet and that's how that was born.

But Yodas species most certainly isn't called Phrog and it is still not explained in any detail in any official Lucas product since he always (for unknown reasons) strictly forbade that anyone delve into that particular subject.

Brawn 1, Cunning 3 for Yoda's species seems right. Add Perception (big ears) and Survival as bonus skills. Wound 9+, Strain 11+, 100 starting XP.

You call Yoda's species a Phrog, I suspect his species is Goblin from Dungeons & Dragons.

Don't forget to make them silhouette 0.

Yesterday, I watched Attack of the Clones again, but with the commentaries on. George Lucas kept calling Yoda a frog. Perhaps that's where "Phrog" is coming from.

Also... Samuel L. Jackson is way too excited to have a purple lightsaber. LoL

Yeah, I've come to the conclusion that GL just doesn't care any more and is more or less just saying stuff "for fun"... Just like how he decided that Obi-Wan came from a planet called "stewjon" just for fun on an interview with john stewart...

And now that's canon... *sigh*

Then you probably haven't looked at a map of the US or other places and seen the weird names that show up for towns (http://www.infoplease.com/spot/wackytowns.html) or streets. Some got named 'cause someone thought it was funny. Some places were made up by map makers as a copyright protection scheme... and then someone built the town (See Paper towns - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fictitious_entry). Towns like Goblu and Beatosu are such examples.

So, for all we know, the planet is named for what happened to its first discoverer... heheh.

Thanks You All!

Doesn't matter. Reality doesn't have to be believable, fiction does.
