I was wondering if anybody could tell me what careers & specialisations are available in Age of Rebellion please, just the ones in the core rules will be enough?
We played or first session of EotE on Friday (which I ran) & my players liked it so much that one is gong to run an Age campaign!
Check out Doc, the Weasel 's excellent talent trees:
http://beggingforxp....-talent-sheets/
Ace (vehicle specialist) [Agl]
Driver - planetary stuff (speeders, swoops and walkers)
Gunner - shooty-shooty (also makes a fair heavy weapons trooper when not in a vehicle [bra])
Pilot - space stuff (starfighters, shuttles, etc.)
Commander (leaders) [Pre / Int]
Commodore - leads starship battles (good if you're set up on a ship with multiple crew)
Squadron Leader - leads starship battles (good if you've got a group of starfighters (poor bastards)) [Agl]
Tactician - ground forces leader [bra]
Diplomat (the group's face) [Pre / Cun]
Ambassador - charming/inspiring face (talents also makes this one good as a more "talky" spy)
Agitator - snarky-troublemaker face (gets the locals rowdy) [Will]
Quartermaster - money-making face (keeps the cell funded)
Engineer (tech guy) [int]
Mechanic - keeps your stuff (vehicles) workin' (can be a bit of a bruiser, too) [bra]
Saboteur! - blows **** up (do not underestimate the power of blowing **** up) [Agl]
Scientist - improves gear / builds new stuff (could be a bit of a MacGuyver... bit iffy, though)
Soldier (master of fightology) [Agl / Bra]
Commando - straight-up fighter rather than the sneaky git the name conjures (good at range and up close)
Medic - Really good doctorin' when you need it most (when you're holding your intestines in) [int]
Sharpshooter - where Commando is a good all-round fighter this one's an amazing ranged damage-dealer
Spy (intelligence operatives) [Agl / Cun]
Infiltrator - splinter cell / assassin's creed types [bra]
Scout - ranger / recon guy
Slicer - computer hacker / electronic security [int]
Universal (costed as if they were in-career specs)
Recruit - makes any of the above more fighty.
Force-Sensitive Emergent - space-magic-guy with some nice talents to help conceal the fact (or at least hide afterwards) [Will]
I've included the characteristics that I think are useful to each career and spec. Personally, I'd try to get these to 3 during character creation.
To add to this (from the sourcebooks):
Ace
Beast Rider - Rides beasts and does Survival stuff
Hotshot - Super-offensive version of Pilot
Rigger - Plays pimp my ride with spaceships
Diplomat
Agitator - Stirs up crowds
Analyst - Gathers information
Propagandist - Makes the Empire look bad (like, really bad)
Awesome!! Cheers for the superfast response...I'll crack on & come up with some character ideas now!
