I see executioner maybe, but it's got a lot of will based talents but I'll be mighty absent in the will dpt, so another suggestions?

Warleader which has a lot of concept based on aiming and also getting the rest of your group into an advantageous position , also has the talent Prophetic Aim that lets you aim into an engagement knowing a despair doesnt mean you hit an ally , and with suppressing fire misses cause strain damage (as well as misses from your allies) , up to 2 per hit if you buy both ranks, curiously you can put together a team of people that suck at combat and buy every rank of suppressing fire, everyone misses with advantage and cause enough strain damage to literally run them out of the encounter. Back on topic, Ideally you should also have a reasonable cunning.

Hunter has intuitive shot, so you can add force rating =force dice to your roll

I am assuming you are force sensitive exile or emergent as both of these will reqiire that you are force sesnsitive , which you cannot get by just adding an F&D spec you get that by having an F&D career.

I like the concept of a sword-and-pistol combo, and the Makashi Duelist might mesh well for this. Presence-based lightsaber technique, with lots of defensive talents (hmm... no reflect, though, just parry...); Soresu defender has both, but is intelligence-based... I don't know? I still like the concept, though.

Many of the Gunslinger talents would work with the lightsaber (only Guns Blazing, Spitfire and Natural Marksman would be excluded).

I'm not certain how the mechanics would work. Might require some house-ruling/ GM cooperation to make it happen.

the biggest problem with mixing a lightsaber and melee weapon would be that if you want to combine the two, it's a two purple upgrade. I would actually say soresu would work better ,you dont have to use intelligence unless you want to use one of the two special talents that call it out, so you can use your gun for ranged fighting and the saber for ranged defense and when in close range just use the saber rather than face a double increase in difficulty.

Yeah... I like the duelist from a narrative standpoint, but this character would need ranged defense.

The character probably will start as FaD spec, but break immediately into gunslinger.

As an "out there" concept with cool narrative synergy and not much else you might look at racer you might (for a parkour/gun-fu vibe). You might also look at sentry... 2 ranks of reflect, and it would let you always use vigilance/willpower for initiative (constant vigilance talent) and it has other talents to help with initiative. And the impossible fall talent is a good way to fake your own death... if you get tagged by a blaster bolt that takes you pretty low on wounds you can purposefully "stumble" / "get knocked off" the edge of a skyscraper/cliff/bridge-without-handrails and they presume that you're dead.

Probably not going pursue lightsaber use.

I'll look at the racer...

Things I'm looking for, stuff that uses high presence I'll have a 3. Specifically something to give me since social skills would be great.

So im thinking 252213 or 242323, something with survival would be nice..., the problem is all the survival having specs in seeker are all filled with will based talents that I'll have a 1 in.

The character is going to be a wandering gunslinger, atoning for his past by helping those in need.

I can only think of one race that can start with either of these configurations 2 5 2 2 1 3 costs 120 xp , and only Pantoran can get that, similarly with the other configuration. So you limit yourself in that respect straight away.

Well I have an idea, probably going to be pantoran, I started messing around with this bill nye picture and colored it blue.

Kinda inspired me, not totally sold on Pantoran but I'm leaning that way...

Mystic. Seer gives you Survival, 2 ranks in Rapid Reaction, +2 Force Rating; Advisor has all the social talents.

There you go I think seer it is....

Just a note for things with reflect talents, you don't have to use a lightsaber if you get the shield gauntlets, Kilian ranger gauntlet I think its called? It's deflection 2 and lets you use the gauntlet for the lightsaber reflect talents as though you had a lightsaber. So if you can get your hands on one of those you can consider things with reflect again.

Hmmmm

It's a split between seer, and the stuff among the seeker career... I wish the seer had negotiation rather then charm.

The location of the reflect/lightsaber talents in the sentry tree make them crazy easy to avoid even if you don't get your hands on a shield guantlet. But keeping the peace has an energy buckler that is pretty cool/one of my favorite pieces of gear for someone without any ranged defense

I'm mulling it over, I just don't think it fits the character.

I think seer makes sense. Danger sense and all. I like the stuff in seeker but I'll just shod the will talents, which will get me more down the gunslinger tree anyways.

I want something that's like more frontier helper/warrior
