Hi guys, got a question. One of our Jedi, Shii-Cho/Star Fighter Ace with a Force Rating of 2 has been playing for awhile and amassed a considerable trove of experience, our players have about 800 and we are still going strong. Anyway they have some experience to burn and was looking to take the Jedi Knight and meets the prerequisites so my question for my more experience GMs and player is, if I allow him does this specialization cost him 10 extra like picking a specialization from a different career and is it possible for them to take it in the time Galactic Empire?
Question about the Jedi Career and Force and Destiny
Yes it would cost more same as if you have a warrior who buys into a consular spec.
Is it possible to take? Sure. I personally would have them learn it from something or someone that would be likely to know it. If they met an elderly jedi from the era before or found some holocron detailing the basis of jedi training. Whatever you want to think of. I wouldn't simply allow them to buy it outright though personally.
The Jedi trees seem stronger then the F&D trees so I don’t think they fit a post order 66 game unless it a Jedi only game. Also I never liked the idea of mass dump of exp players should spend it over time not all at once
By RAW, yes, it would cost the extra 10 XP for taking an out of career spec. And yes, it is perfectly legal to take it in the OT era. The in universe justification can be anything from him being a survivor of the order (if he’s old enough), trained by such a survivor, or found old texts or a Holocron. Regardless, that’s all fluff.
Yes 10 extra xp. Yes it's legal for the character to take, but using anything but the core book technically requires GM approval. Some might require a fluff justification like a teacher.

Depending on your certain point of view this is a method for generating Luke Skywalker as a Player character.
So yeah, if your version of the setting and story allow, all good.
