Alright, this one is just for fun, and it’s not even entirely my fault. I’m currently a player in a Force and Destiny game that’s been mucking about in (and thoroughly messing up) the Prequel Era. Through a series of unlikely events the crew of the Unconventional Approach came across an entire tribe of Ewoks that had been captured by slavers. We eventually returned them to Endor, after preparing them to fight ‘warriors armored in white’ that we’d seen in a Force vision, but a few stuck around to become our furry minions. The GM asked me to stat them out, as he was too busy to at the time. So I grabbed the Unofficial Species Menagerie, took the extra 100 XP the GM gave me for each of them, and set to work.

Imagine my surprise when we all logged in for our next session and a fellow player informed us that the GM had asked him to pitch in by running a side story for us, and that each of us would be playing one of the Ewoks I’d just created. The actual party was off-screen because they needed to find parts to repair the ship with, and we were supposed to guard it. Getting ambitious (and truly lucky on some rolls) we took the Unconventional Approach on a (crash-filled) joy ride across a junk planet, fought B-1 battle droids, crash-landed in a scrap yard with a caterpillar droid clamped to the bottom of the ship, and fought some horrible cyborg mantis thing the Trade Federation had put together. We got a bunch of loot and 20 more XP, and promptly fled into the vents to avoid the wrath of the actual party’s pilot after what we had done to the ship.

So, I thought, why not share? Meet the Party: Ewoks has four of the ready-to-play little guys, whether you're adventuring across the Forest Moon or traveling to the stars!

I'm considered running an all-Ewok game. Sounds like a blast! And I love the specs you chose. What were some of the other ones you considered? I suppose Pathfinder and Hermit might work. Maybe Big-game Hunter? Sharpshooter with bows?

Great write up, I have always loved your Meet the Party pieces. Out of curiosity why the Greatsword and not a Spear?

I think the answer is obvious here. Weik Ewok Greatsword is a +4 melee whereas a spear would be +3 (for the Vibrospear) or +2 for normal. Did you see that Ewok's Brawn? He's a strong little bastich.

Brawn 4 let me imagine it now

"Ahhhhhh your so ........

Noooooo!!!!

Pathfinder and Hermit were both considered! So was Big-Game Hunter, although surprisingly I didn't think to look at Sharpshooter. The Mystic was also in the running, but my actual player character in the campaign is a Mystic, so that got crossed off relatively early.

Yeah, it was partially for sheer effectiveness (the little guy buzz-sawed through a squad of B1s on his own and managed to surpass a point of Armor fighting the boss). It was also because I was thinking of Discworld dwarves, who at one point are called (paraphrasing) relatively nice folk whose one flaw is to axe someone off at the knees now and again. That's basically little Nippet, there.

"....when they get some alchohol in them" Is the very important part you left out.

I genuinely don't want to see a drunken rage Ewok. They were already nicknamed Mini Murder-Wookiees in game, I doubt a crate of Whyren's Reserve would help matters.

Well then you and I are on completely opposite sides of this! Because I would love to see some group of drunken Ewoks deciding to go fight something, and falling down while doing so. They already had plenty of those moments in Return when fighting and driving the speeder bike, adding alcohol would just make it even funnier in my opinion. In fact, that explains some of the futile attacks they did in the Endor battle a lot more. Hitting the metal foot with a rock while riding it, being dragged behind the walker as it continues to move. Too good.

. . . You do make a REALLY good point, there.
