Playing Jawa

By lecudas, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

Next thing you know, that kid is going to be on these forums, and he’s going to be giving Haley a hard run for her money.

Forgive me... Who is Haley?

EDIT: But thank you for your compliments... I will pass them on. I did help him with the word "kleptomaniac" - but now he knows something new.

So... My son wrote a background for his Jawa (bear in mind he's only 11). I like it, and think this is going to be a lot of fun! His character's name is Nitt Binnik

Yeah, I wish my PCs were as involved in their character creation. Kudos to giving your son such a great creative outlet -- it's paying off!

Forgive me... Who is Haley?

Haley is https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/user/211294-prettyhaley/

I believe she may be the youngest participant on this board. If not, she’s pretty close. We’ve watched her grow up over the past couple of years, but there’s still a good reason why one of the other members of this board has “Don’t Google that Haley” as their forum signature. ;)

I just can not figure out what sourcebook it will take to give us "official" Jawas...

^ The initial idea was that they were a shoe in for the technician book.

Now I expect a book that contains Tatooine wil be our safest bet!

I am SURE this has been posted before, but I have compiled information and made a nifty PDF for those wishing to play a Jawa. My son instead on playing one, so I made this for him. It will take one heck of a background story and a lot of good role-playing to play a Jawa, but it has added a lot to our group!

Why don't you just use the Yoda species stats from the mystic book, they're about the same size, oh wait they haven't been released yet, never mind:ph34r:

Hey lecudas, Keith Ryan Kappel‏ talked about your stats for the jawas!

We 'borrowed' this for an Edge of the Empire campaign that featured a duo nick-named the 'Knee-High Criminal Syndicate' - an Astromech Slicer and a Jawa Bounty Hunter.

The latter was....remarkable to watch in action. There's something very satisfying about watching other player's faces as they burst through a door to find a massive, custom sawn-off ion gun levelled at their belly-buttons and a (surprisingy gruff for a Jawa) voice announcing "Uttini, Mother*******." followed by the sound of someone getting heavily tazed.

I have a Jawa NPC who was kidnapped and locked away in an abandoned tomb that was being used by pirates. She was chained to a workbench and forced to repair gear and build new weaponry.

As luck would have it, Iffy the Jawa was rescued by my party of players who promptly set her free. The party was also able to talk Iffy into removing the explosive binders from a group of 20 wookie slaves. Those slaves immediately pledged a life debt to the Jawa! :D

So the party agreed to take Iffy and her new army of wookies back to Tattoine where they could start fresh. Eventually, I plan on having the party make their way to the desert planet where they will discover their friend has made herself chieftain of one of the most powerful Jawa tribes on the planet.

This is awesome. May have to do this myself.

Or, 2 Despair, you get disintegrated by the Mando whose ship you're stripping. :P
