So what characters are you all thinking? I have an idea for a Dressellian Ascetic, Bind is their short range tool while Improved Saber Throw is for long range. The other idea I have is some kind of Executioner with a vibro axe and disruptor. Clearly I'm thinking more an offence game than a defensive there. My final idea, and least likely, is an Armourer Commando since I would love to see Unstoppable and Supreme Armour Master combined with some Cortosis.

I'm tempted to try out the cortosis-armor build I posted in the other thread. Although work may intrude on my ability to participate starting in the fall...

I've had a couple ideas, a Kyuzo Trailblazer focusing either using cover and stealth, or maxing agility and using a good ranged weapon, not sure yet. The other is Niman Disciple/Arbiter not sure about much beyond that, but I like the combination of talents that become available with those two trees.

I'd like to try a LIN demolitionmech, focused on hurling grenades, basically. I'm not sure whether it makes sense to go Demolitionist or Saboteur first, then spec into something like Mercenary Soldier that offers some ranged talents. I'm horrible at min-maxing, and will probably get destroyed in the first round, but it's a fun character concept.

Gunslinger? Improved Quick Draw + Guns Blazing = Throw 2 grenades instead of 1! Then a spec with the Strong Arm talent and your set.

Otherwise, a grenade launcher would be gold.

Looks like the Sapper from the upcoming Engineer book would be invaluable as well, but we'll try it with the currently available specs and see what happens.

I must say that if you're trying for something more creative than the very obvious Auto Fire + Cortosis Armour Gadgeteer that 300xp limit is quite restricted. You can get most of a single spec but combining two is very challenging. Not many specs are well rounded in offence defence and recovery, you have to pick one

Yeah, that's how it felt when I was making my character for the Duel in the Valley of the Jedi. Every XP was precious.

I am juggling two ideas.

Either creating an earlier version of Tobin Stryder before he fully embraced his force emergancy (Gadgeteer/Assassin)

Or his brother, who decided to become a highway man in his brother's absence from the criminal circle.

Either way I entered with my concept; I feel this one has a good chance of holding up against the duelists. XD

I'm gonna submit something this weekend if I can!

Errrmm, sorry I made another entry, is there any possibly of deleting the other one? Otherwise I will deal with it next time I'm at that computer.

Just to break the game I would say that the amount of money you give is enough to purchase an outlaw personal stealth field and depending on how you run it you have basically no chance to find the other character. My submission would be a droidd stealh field wearing assassin/doctor with athletics 1, vigiliance 1, brawl 5 , stealth 1, medicine 4, perception 1, skullduggery 1

xp spent

assassin

stalker x2 20

quick strike 10

lethal blows 15

dodge 20

sniper shot 20

deadly accuracy 25

dedication 25 (brawn)

doctor template 30

grit 5
surgeon 10
resolve 10
pressure point 15

Brawn 5 Agility 3 intelligence 1 cunning 1 willpower 1 presence 1

On a brawl check this character will bypass armor and deal 15 strain minimum on a single success rolling 5 yellows

If he is spotted he does have a soak of 8 with padded armor

I take this droid on! I accept the challenge!

Any guidelines?

Exp and credit limit?

Wow cheesesawus alert. I wasn't expecting something like this Ahahahaha

I'm investigating a Warden Shien with Sense, for a Destiny Point flip your attack difficulty is upgraded 6 times, if it's Ranged and I suffer 2 Strain then it's 7 upgrades... with improved and Supreme Reflect!

I really like the Sense Commit powers I use them in the campaign I'm playing atm. The build I'm considering for this would also use it, but not quite as many times as 6-7 jeeeeeeeeez........

6 or 7 only works to Medium range, with the Baleful Gaze talent and 4 ranks of Coercion. Also considering the Warden Aggressor combo; 5 ranks of Fearsome, No Escape, Scathing Tyrade and some ability to hit hard.

If you do warden I'll try and best you with a martial artist/?

This is transcendent.

Some equipment and talents should probably be off limits for the same reason that no one could find a character wearing a personal stealth field. For instance, I could build Charmer with "Don't Shoot" and then just cause a draw each time. It may take a game or two before we know what talents and gear to forbid.

I'm gonna try and build a stealth field killer. But yes normally I think that's gotta be off limits.

The Individual Field Disruptor from Disciples of Harmony is a rather nice piece of gear, I'm not sure in it shutting everything down the way it seems to describe, but still an excellent piece of equipment.

I've refined my Trailblazer idea to have a Kyuzo Energy Bow, and what's our view on restricted items? For example I (or anyone) could get 3-4 Shaped Thermal Grenades that deal 21 damage minimum on a hit. With the possibility of making the range medium with a grenade launcher.

Most of the Trailblazer talents need cover to take effect, but when there I think they'll work very well, such as ambush which will add the characters ranks in stealth as damage to one successful hit per round.

I also assume it shuts down the character who is using its gear, though I have not read it
