I think the 1st is strictly the most competitive, but also the most boring. You hit them, they die and I'm generally not a fan of builds like that in RP; it usually enforces a high damage init based game that is more of a rocket race (though given my 12,00 exp assassin into Force emergent and beyond, I am not really one to talk given I one shot my nemesis in a draw off...). I figured that my gunslinger will usually take 3 rounds of decent shooting to drop someone, so I am going to lose to 1 punch type characters.

The latter two are both interesting. I have no experienced with improved deflect builds.

For Move I would say we need some reglements since otherwise it really is broken in pvp.

Using against a competitor will always be a combined disciplin vs. disciplin/athletics/ coordination (which ever is the highest) check.
if used as dmg inflicting shove (force push with 10 dmg base + sucsess ) the maximum range is throwing to medium range (otherwise it would be try levitate to long and then spamming endlessly without any chance for any not range char to ever catch up again...), same for "drop dmg" set max to medium high for 20 dmg wound and strain reduced by athletics/ coordination check of the victim.

same goes for throwing objects (maximum objects in the vicinity should be Sil 2 and breakting down to 1 after beeing "thrown"

some of these points may be not so important in PvP Tournament Season 1 since the 300 Exp restrict the maximum FR of most to 2 or three but I think a clear ruling should prevent future instances...

because let be honest otherwise this could be a "one button win"- power.

But for you question:

yeah would like to try on all three ^^

just was asking since you banned the artillery weapons with 15 dmg and 5 pierce and crit 3, while this babys have 20 dmg and BREACH 2 and crit 2.

no problem any where just tring to understand the banning of something less potent over something so destructive.

I'm happy to swap out the TD for more grenades if folks aren't comfortable with it. In my mind, it was a Jedi equalizer, since otherwise, non-Jedi are going to be sitting ducks against lightsabers.

I tend to agree the Force Rating limit is quite stifling for this competition, your either activating Range or Strength, but doing both is unlikely and probably requires a Destiny Point which may no always be there.

The character concept I came up with was intended to remove the temptation to Long Drop opponents. When Stun is the Damage of choice the Move power becomes more about control than destruction. Being a character of honour the destruction of property would be frowned upon too. But with a Willpower of 5 that opposed check should be passable.

I don't think I'll actually use it though, it seems too much pandering to the rules. I think the Shien is more interesting to me even if it's a shorter range challenger. It's both offensive and defensive with a few tricks up its sleeve, I'm disappointed I couldn't get the Improved Saber Throw talent to fit the budget.

No need to change that, your not the only one with the TD

It does do a bit more damage than a Saber! But Cortosis is your friend still Although none of my characters could survive a single successful hit from one, I would be hoping the 3-4 upgrades and 2 setback would generate enough Threat/Despair for an accident to occur!

I think there will be a few pieces of gear that will be common amongst the builds.

I would like a moment to edit my sheet when I get home, I feel lethal blows and quick strike is alright, but the johnny in me wants to sink 30-50 exp into the signature ability Xd

I have a busy weekend ahead, if people want then I can keep it open for another 48hrs from now.

I made edits. ^^

Adjustments made. Also added a palm shooter and poison! I LOVE POISON! WOOT WOOT. XD

I'll try getting all the characters together in one post soon. Then work out a way to randomly pair characters for round 1.

Incoming...

BTW: which defens rules will we use?

a.) everything stacks

b.) only highste source

c.) highest source + cover

d.) something else

???

For what it's worth, I like the idea of cover or Deflection (not both) stacking with armor's ranged defense. Same with Defensive or Guarded Stance (not both).

@Darth Lectus you nominated but have yet to put forward a character.

@amrothe there is a post of the stats of your character but I can't find a link to the sheet, could you post that for me to include please.

With those two we will have all 10 that nominated. I think with 10 it's unreasonable to expect 9 Rounds of Heats with a fight against every other character. 5 rounds should sort out a leaderboard.

Awesome! MORTAL COMBAT!!!!!

i am ready to assume the on my back position! XD

@Richardbuxton, this is a huge bummer, but I think I'm going to have to withdraw. I have a bunch of things I need to get prepared for work by Sept 1, and my regular EotE campaign has just come off of hiatus, so that needs to be the priority right now. Sorry, guys

If anyone else wants to play Denthos Ren in the tournament, they're welcome to do so! I'd love to see how he stacks up against the other builds.

Hi all,

apologies for the delay, I am going to upload my character in the next 12-14 hours.

I am trying to do some crafting rolls for the character, but while I had no trouble accessing the orokos.com website last night, it is not currently loading for me. Here is what I have so far, some more lightsaber crystal modding to be added ASAP.

Cheevil Batt - Ataru Striker & Executioner

http://orokos.com/roll/ is currently loading for me...try again?

I think it was on my provider's side. Back to normal, rolls done, character is finalised.

EDIT: those rolls were NOT worth waiting for

Loving how different these characters are. May the Force be with us all.

For the sake of diversity, I'd like to swap out a couple grenades for some other types of grenades if that's permitted (still sticking within the credit limit, of course). Please let me know if that's not OK, though, and I'll run him as submitted (plus the corrections folks pointed out).

Final adjustments are still permitted.
