The Dusty Nomads OOC

By Benjan Meruna, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

I think slugthrowers run out like energy weapons if you roll threats or despair something like that.

How would you as a gm deal with a noghri? I'm assuming most don't know anything about them...

Was also thinking doctor bot, or weather drone Scout

You're right in that no one would recognize your race. It's not the end of the world; there are many obscure races in the galaxy. However, it WOULD make you stand out and generally be easier to find if anyone gets even a passing glance at you.

Additionally, I'd have to hear a pretty good reason for one of the Noghri to abandon their loyalty to Lord Vader, they're pretty honor-bound.

Well he didn't abandon them, he was abandoned. Strike team on remote rebel cell hideout. Everyone died, except him and a rebel. Well eventually the rebel died too but later and due to a fever. Rebels blew the base up. So he spent the early years with the rebel (at first he was a prisoner) then by himself for a decade... A lot of tine to think.

I think I'm gonna save this character for a knight level game as I think he doesn't make sense without at least two specs...

So ewok tough guy or medical droid know it all pressure pointer, Aye a former weather drone or maybe even a sand person...

I kind of like the Ewok Marshall, especially if he puts some ranks in Coersion/Willpower. Right now, we have a Scientist (with a lot of Int), an Archaeologist (a good all-rounder with piloting skills and likely the only one in the group with some Brawn), and a Gunslinger (who I'm guessing is going to be mainly Agility). Having someone with a higher Willpower to face down those Fear checks and dish out a little fear of his own would have a very solid role!

Ewok it is, he'll be either.marshal or enforcer to start eventually itll be both. We probably need a true face eh?

Well, starting as Marshal and going to Enforcer will give you Charm as a career skill; something that going the other way around won't give you. Enforcer also revolves around Brawl, which links to your weak stat as an Ewok. Marshal, on the other hand, uses your strong stat for Deception. So, with the right characteristics in Agility, Cunning, and Willpower, you could have a character that decent with a pistol, able to tell a smooth lie ("Look at that cute widdle face! Is that the face of a liar?") and scare the crap out of someone ("Oh stars those teeth look sharp...").

That's probably what I'll do... I'm gonna try and write up between tonight and tomorrow night.

Ok so Victor Jay Verno P.I. (P.I. Is what he now adds now that he got fired from the lawmen), "Vic", "Baby Wook" "Vern" "Jo Teady Bear" "Boozer Bear", "Mr Jay Law", "Lady's love cool Jay" "LL cool Jay" "Drunk Tank Vic"....

What do you think about the stat spread guys?

Finished most to all of my character's background, the link on page two should still work.

Looks good for a face who wants to be good at all of the social skills, while still being decent at shooting

I'm tempted to take 1 off presence and into brawn...

That might not be a bad idea, if you want to eventually go Enforcer. It would mean someone else would have to go into Charm/Leadership (if covering those roles is important) but that's not the end of the world.

Well its prefer to be more bad cop then charmer, so it be nice to have a face but if we have no face I'll leave it!

I have another character concept that can have Presence instead of Cunning.

Edit 1: Change species, but everything else is the same, spec, gear, everything. Shishi just ends up with Presence 3 rather than Cunning 3. It leads well into getting Droid Tech later on.

Edit 2: Gran is the species btw, I end up with Negotiation rather than Deception, Enhanced vision which fits the character really well, no longer silhouette 0, WT/ST slightly change. Sound ok @Benjan Meruna @TheShard ?

Edited by Richardbuxton

Richard, that sounds fine to me but maybe wait to see what @Dunefarble comes up with. Those aspects might be a secondary focus for our Gunslinger.

Edit: Also guys, make sure if you take Obligation you list what it's for so I have time to prepare. I know Imperials, but I still needs yours, Richard. Shard, did you take any Obligation to make your Marshal?

Edited by Benjan Meruna

Yes ill add to the posted sheet.

I'm happy to keep building up a Face character! :D It works really well with my obligation and back story, actually, and I've already got the presence 3 and one rank in charm to help it along.

Ok! So I made the changes and added the obligations and switched stats

I took the bonus 10 xp from the obligation

Booze+Drugs+Bad Behavior+Betrayal+Revenge

Addiction-5, Bad Reputation-5, A Score to Settle-5

I have two questions aimed at @TheShard and @Richardbuxton:

1. Would you both be okay with coming from the same planet? Aka, whichever planet that Vic came from, Shishi was hiding on.

2. If so, Richard, would you be okay with your character being swept up along with Shards when the false criminal accusations come down? (And Shard, would you be OK with having Shishi along for the ride, there.) This would mean that both of you would have the Criminal Obligation, to reflect being pursued for a crime you didn't commit. Edit: Shard, in your case you could replace Bad Reputation with Criminal. You wouldn't be stringently perused (at least not by anyone important) but it would feature on occasion.

Sounds good with me.

With obligation am I spending up to 15? I assumed you had 15, 5 of it you didn't spend the other 10 you would?

I have 15 obligation, usually obligation works that you use half, or another way to say it is it costs double what you spend. But you ruled it was 5 and you have up to 10 to spend... Or its it the whole 15?

I'm not seeing a backstory for shishi?

Whose the other brawn guy?

You start with 15 Obligation, and you can take up to 15 more to get more XP/Credits. So, if you took an extra 10 points of obligation, you'll have 25.

Edit: Kara has Brawn 3, and Archeologists gets a few talents that go with Brawl.

Ah ok let me fix that... So 30 total right?

It'll depend if you took 10 extra points of Obligation, or 15.
