To be fair, mine isn't exactly a noble good guy. It takes all sorts to effectively teach.

Figuring out a way to convince Korath to even let her on the ship should be interesting, and fun.

@SithArissa , you've got an extra 1,085 XP to spend to upgrade your Signature character to the 1500 XP minimum.

I'm confident that there will be a reason when it comes to it.

I'm sure there will be. I'll leave that in your capable hands. ?

I have a few versions of Drez'n. And I'd probably build him from scratch.

Most likely something like seer/padawan survivor/m.a/armorer not sure yet... In the past i used soresu not sure yet if that makes sense yet probably.

Korath has Soresu Defender as his primary (and only in-career) spec, with all of the rest being out-of-career specs. What's the highest XP version of him you have? Ideally, you should use the original version of the character.

Its a concept i more than a build.

@Tramp Graphics I get custom sabers in addition to the 18k credits? Couldn't afford them for the pvp tournament but original campaign Arissa was a dual saber fighter.

Traditionaly he is a soresu/armorer/etc

This guy ? I like him. If he's a survivor of Order 66, he might be a bit old, but, I'd have to look up how long Drall live for. You'll need to upgrade him with an extra 1060 XP though.

No. 18000 credits for the lightsaber (and its attachments/mods) or customized gear. In other words, that is the value of any customized lightsaber or special gear (for non-Jedi). However, that's primarily for any master level characters that might need to be built from scratch. A previously played character keeps whatever he or she had. So, whatever credits Arissa currently has is what she has. So if she's broke, she's broke. ?

Well probelm with that is she had 2 Ilum crystals.

OK, @TheShard , I looked up the lifespan of a Drall and this is what I found:

Species Child Young Adult Adult Middle Age Old Venerable
Drall 1-3 4-7 8-25 26-55 56-89 90+

If he was a Padawan during Order 66, that would put him at about 70 or so years old. Good age for a Master.

I don't see them on her sheet. All I see is the Barab Ingot. What did she spend those 2500 starting credits on?

Thats the version I used in the pvp here on the forums not the one I use in actual play, Like I said.

Ah. Well, we need to see that.

Can I use corrupted crystals in their place?

Talk to @Rabobankrider . Let's see both versions of the character and we'll make a call from there.

However, given that Ilum is unaccessible , you'd need to say how she got her hands on Ilum crystals in the first place. Personally, I like the Barab Ingot your PvP version has.

I can use the Barab and buy an off hand crystal with the credits assuming I get to keep all her other gear. I don't think she has even 1000 credits on the actual character GM wasn't generous with the monies. Very basic gear in the campaign. The crystals were found on a planet made up by the GM. A hoard of Sith treasures.

Well, as I said, any gear the character has from previous games he or she keeps . The 18000 credits for custom gear is mainly for characters that need to be built from scratch, and was something @awayputurwpn had put into place when he had taken over GM duties in the previous game. I am not going to take away anything a character earned from previous play.

So I'm gonna explain how i view game mechanics and careers, spec trees etc. as we have had very divergent views in the past, so i want everyone to be clear and i want to be upfront regarding my playing style.

I disregard any titles of specs, they are a guide or suggestion at most, to me they are a specific grouping of mechanics used to fulfill charecter concept goals.

The drall isn't an actual padawan survivor. He is however from a long but broken line of jedi. He discovered a box corresponding family relics and heirlooms including a saber and a holocron. And had basicly padawan training. He wouldn't be 70, but he'd be nearing 60 maybe?

Perhaps. I was going by his background anyway, not his specializations. The background you wrote say he was apprenticed to a Jedi master during the Clone Wars, and survived Order 66, hiding out on Drall. That was roughly 54 years ago . So, he would have to be at least 65, if not a little older. Heck, he might even have known Korath's parents and Master.

Any idea on what you want to use those extra XP on?

Edited by Tramp Graphics

Ah I forgot i adjusted the background for that.

Originally he was in a no-prequel game.

What time period is this?

Concurrent with The Last Jedi.

I'll fill in some back story and stuff soon, kinda tired right now and will be out at the week end mostly.

Looks pretty good so far. Can’t obviously needs her motivation and Emotional Strenghts and weaknesses filled out, but everything else looks good. Interesting choice only bumping up one attribute. Bold move. ?

Would a carbonite-frozen (or force hibernated) survivor of Order 66 be acceptable for the master?

Also would a flunkout of Skywalker's jedi academy (before Kylo Ren's massacre) be acceptable?
