Geeze, I'm really digging the art in this thing. The impressionistic style on the back cover, the Stormtroopers getting wrecked on page 80, Vader vs that Dead Man Walking on 13 - that's some sweet, sweet luvin'!

So Dowutin can be Sil 2 at the player's option but Hutts are stuck beingSil 1... I'm not sure why Hutts don't have the Large species ability too.

There really don't seem to be too many drawbacks to being Sil 2, but not really too many advantages either.

Also, the way Immovable applies when they are "otherwise moved against their will," we now have a species that can resist Move with ease.

this book does not seem to be available in Canada

I’m Canadian and I’m routinely among the first people to get the books. Just have to be willing to pay through the teeth for shipping.

I love that Duwo’s can be huge but I agree, Hutts should have the option as well. Maybe we will see the introduction of an “Ancient Hutt” or “Venerable Hutt” as a variant species like Mandos and Corellians are to humans. I’d support that. Though I’m still waiting for my Karkarodon’s!

Nope.

Quick questions:

Does Juyo include Quick Draw? - Please disregard this, should have read: Why it didn’t include Quick Draw? ?

Does it mention the Mikkian lifespan? Does it include a male Mikkian illustration?

Picked up my copy on the way home tonight. Digging it. Already talking to my GM about trading in my Sentinel’s Martial Artist secondary spec for Steel Hand Adept.

Holy crap, I'm digging the Steel Hand - that's totally Qui-Chang Caine (without the auto-erotic asphyxiation). That's going to be my Enforcer/Gunslinger's tree when I pick the force up for him. That thing is a Badassed tree.

So am I misremembering is there a talent somewhere, another like Martial Grace where you can add a skill (something other than the coordination found here) to the brawl damage?

Well I guess you could always pick up Bind.

Pressure Point?

Or Deadly Accuracy too

It might have been Pressure Point? I could have sworn it was in the Hired Gun or Smuggler careers tho, since those were the two I was looking at when building my character. I might have just been smoking dope, too.

My GM said I could respec my consular: niman-disciple/martial artist to drop martial artist and pick up steel hand adept (rebuilding as a warrior: steel hand adept/niman disciple so I can take unmatched ferocity signature ability) if the game lasts that long ill retake martial artist as a 4th spec... third spec is currently going to be ascetic and that'll start in the next 6 or so sessions. I have seek basic power, sense full defense upgrade, move strength range hurl pull, I have steely nerves and spare clip as scar talents eas going to go for dodge as the third but not that I have steel hand adapt that's unnecessary have 3, 3, 2 3 4 2 attributes, human with repulsor fist so I've got a literal "steel hand" which I'm sure is going to be commented on. With 45 more xp I'll have the bottom 2 rows of the left column of disciple and have 3 3 2 3 5 2 attributes, and I already have force rating 3 thanks to replacing martial artist with steel hand adept.

It could have been “Walk the Walk” from enforcer

No that adds streetwise ranks to damage.

He wants one that uses anything but Coordination

Without wishing to unduly reduce this book to a simple good/bad dichotomy, can I, on behalf of all the Brits who won't see this book for a while, ask if it is, in fact, any good?

In particular, as I've been waiting for Juyo for some time, is the Juyo tree any good?

There are only two like that in Star Wars, Martial Grace and Walk the Walk. Realms of Terrinoth has Justice of the Citadel, which is similar.

I think it can definitely be described as a "good" book, and the Juyo tree is fairly awesome. Especially the layout! It's like a giant spiral of ferocious death!

At 215xp Vapid Control now holds the crown of most expensive talent in the game. It’s an awesome tree that really embraces the path to Vapid (pun intended ? )

Vaapad should be locked until you find one of Mace Windus hands.

My GM’s response was that he’s open to it, provided I’m not too far into Martial Artist (which I’m not). I’ll be seeing him tomorrow to help him co-GM another group he runs, so I’ll get the final thumbs-up or -down then.

No the prophet just likes to acquire all the Knowledge. She's a mystic through and through.
