Hello everyone, and welcome back to
You Build the Character!
This is the ninth installment of the regular competition in which FFG community members can compete to build their versions of famous characters from the
Star Wars
universe. The winner is decided by popular vote, and will receive all the honor and glory that comes with peer approval! The winning build will also be eternally enshrined in the
YBtC Hall of Fame
.
This month's challenge is to build your best
Jedi
as a Player Character (PC) or a Nemesis (NPC).
The following rules apply to your submissions:
1.
Limit one entry per forum member.
At entry can exist of up to three character builds (either of the same character or different ones),
and needn’t be restricted to a single post.
2.
The Jedi
must be from published Star Wars lore
(no making up your own characters!),
must be a member of the Jedi Order (in any era),
and
must
be a “good guy.”
In other words, no Sith Lords and no Dark Jedi. Jedi who
started out
good and then fell are okay, as long as they are portrayed as their “good guy” selves. As such, your Morality Score really matters for this competition.
3. You may use as much XP
as you like to build your Jedi as a PC (or to Develop your Nemesis, if using the rules found in the EotE GM Kit), but attempts to be both thematic and reasonable are highly encouraged (such as utilizing "Knight Level" rules, giving reasons for his XP expenditures, etc). You can grant them any amount of additional XP as "earned XP” to be spent on talents, skills, and specializations.
4a. If building a PC:
All builds MUST adhere to the Rules As Written (RAW) for Player Character
creation (Steps 1 - 9)
and
advancement
(so no skipping talents in trees, no other homebrewed rules). You
may
ignore Step 10 of character creation, or include it, at your discretion.
4b.
As an exception to the rules above, you
may
use the
Unofficial Species Menagerie
if a species you’re looking for does not exist in any officially-published FFG material.
5. All
FFG-published material for the Star Wars RPG is fair game for creating and/or advancing your character:
Edge of the Empire, Age of Rebellion,
and
Force and Destiny,
including any official supplements or other officially published material from these lines, may be used.
6.
Your build(s) may come complete with
any gear and equipment (including droids or other minion-type characters/beasts, as appropriate).
7.
The entire
Legends universe
is open, or you can stick to the
Star Wars canon
. Essentially, "it's all good!"
8.
If you have previously published or posted an original stat block of a Jedi, you
may
use that version in this competition.
Including a picture with your build is highly encouraged!
9.
All entries
must include a full stat block,
which should be presented in a fashion similar to the stat blocks found in official material, and should contain a
minimum
of the following:
Character Name/Title, Species & Career*
Any Specialization(s)
Background text
Duty, Morality, and/or Obligation score*
Characteristics (Brawn, Agility, etc)
Soak, Wound Threshold, Strain Threshold, Defense
Skill Ranks
Talents
Abilities
Equipment
*Careers and Duty/Morality/Obligation are PC-only traits
You have until
8am PST on Monday, October 5th
(4pm October 5th GMT) to enter/edit your builds, after which entries will be closed. Any entries edited after the deadline will be disqualified.
Voting will commence as soon as entries close! The voting period will last for 7 days, and
the winner will be determined by popular vote at 8am PST on October 12th (4pm GMT).
Thanks, and happy building!
keep 'em coming!
