Playable Race I Would Like to See, But Probably Won't - Lepi

Hello Forum,

I know some of you have done your own home-brew character races and I wonder if anyone has tackled this one. I'm not sure if this one even counts as canon, as I have only ever seen it in the ooold 70's Marvel SW comic books. For those who don't know, a Lepi is a bipedal rabbit-like race around the same size as a human.

I have always loved this race, and would really like to have a gunslinger lepi (or literally a 'gun-bunny' if you prefer ;)). WoTC finally included this race in one of their splat books (Alien Anthology?, been a while since I looked).

Any thoughts? Not sure if any of their characteristics would stand out above that of a human, but would definitely give them an Ability of +1 or 2 Boost Die when attempting an Athletics roll if jumping is involved.

I'm pretty sure it is in the Unofficial Menagerie but have lost any link to said supplement.

It's definitely in the Species Managerie, and also in OggDudes character creator if you're using that.

I don't think the Lepi was in the Menagerie...but I did find this: https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/topic/69960-gm-resources-aliens-of-the-galaxy/page-2#entry683458

Because I'm old school!!!

Lepi (Lepus Carnivorous)

The Lepi are tall, sentient lagomorphs with long distinctive ears and fur ranging in color from green to deep blues. Contrary to popular belief, the Lepi are not vegetarians, they are in fact omnivorous and possess sharp incisors. Lepi hail from the planet of Coachelle Prime, and live in a maze of underground warrens. Lepi breed so often they were forced to colonize their neighboring planets or face overpopulation. But this suited the curious and impulsive Lepi just fine, and they quickly took to the stars.

The Lepi are very social and prefer companionship to solitude. They are quick witted and have a sharp sense of humor. Lepi are also fiercely loyal and will defend their friends and family to the death. They are quick and agile and will use their powerful legs to kick and bludgeon their opponents.

Special Abilities:

Wound Threshold: 10 + Brawn

Strain Threshold: 10 + Willpower

Starting Experience: 90 XP

Special Abilities: Tremendous Kick: The Lepi can deliver tremendous blows with their powerful legs which are capable of disorienting an opponent. On a Brawl check when kicking an opponent, the character deals +0 damage/4 Critical/Disorient 3

Characteristic Ratings:

Brawn: 2 Cunning: 2

Presence: 2 Agility: 3

Intellect: 2 Willpower: 1

Somehow I can see that working. (Alterante universe) Captain America in Vietnam and Black Widow turns out to be Klinger :)

Mind you: Vulcans would make great jedi, detached from emotions and with a spiritual side to them.

From the Jedi code of conduct:

There is no emotion; there is peace.

There is no ignorance; there is knowledge.

There is no passion; there is serenity.

There is no chaos; there is harmony.

There is no death; there is the Force

Spock would agree with that no?
