Sabercane.

Am I dreaming, or is this a repeat from somewhere?

Probably there seem to be some reprints in the era books. I think it's part of a disquise kit or something in one of the other books not sure if they're the same.

What about order66?

What about the droid attack on the wookies?

There's a few items that are reprints from other books as well. For instance, some of of the weapon and armor mods can be found in No Disintegrations.

With the Sabercane, it's not an attachment as was the case with the hilt disguise kit from Disciples of Harmony, but instead is mechanically a shoto with an extra length of wood/metal/whatever to disguise it, even though the weapon's description itself doesn't provide any mechanics for the disguise portion (or at least seeing through it) and seems to very much suggest that it's only an incidental to ready a sabercane for usage as there's not exact citation of what's needed to separate the hilt from the rest of the cane.

The E-5 Carbine originally showed up on Stay on Target, with a slightly lower price point, a rank of Inaccurate, and a range of Medium instead of Long, but no mechanics for overheating that I can recall. Energy bow also cropped up in Savage Spirits and looks to be the exact same weapon.

There's about a page and a half starting on pg131 titled "After The War" discussing how the events post-Order 66 affect Jedi, Clones, and Fringe characters.

The act itself gets a couple of paragraphs on page 130 in the section discussing Betrayal as a theme of a campaign set during the later part of the Clone Wars, citing that "Compelled by a brain implant, all clone troopers - or at least all NPC troopers, in game terms - betray the Jedi Order." Since PC Clones don't have that implant, they're free to ignore Order 66, with the handwave that the chip glitched or that they learned about it and got it removed much as Rex, Gregor, and Wolfe did in SW:Rebels.

There's a "Using Jetpacks" sidebar on page 59, but everything in it was in the preview article on the Death Watch, and it's basically just reminders of how vehicle combat range bands and Speed interact with personal range bands (i.e., poorly).

There are two jetpacks and both make a person a Sil 1 vehicle using Piloting (Planetary) to fly at Speed 2 with Handling 0 and they only work in atmospheres:

  • JT-12C (clone jetpack): SST 4, Enc 2 (though it is described as being "bulky"), 4,750/7.
  • Z-6 (Mandalorian jetpack): SST 3, Enc 3, with a missile launcher (Ranged [Heavy]; Damage 15; Critical 3; Range [Long]; Blast 10, Breach 1, Inaccurate 1, Limited Ammo 1, Prepare 1), 5,250/7. [no cost listed to buy additional missiles]

STAP is a Sil 2, Speed 3, Handling 0, Defense 0/0, Armor 0, HTT 2, SST 3, 1 Hard Point, one-person speeder bike with light repeating blasters (personal scale) with Linked 1 costing 2,500/4 (yeah, the vehicle is practically free once the guns are considered).

Thanks HappyDaze. Is the STAP one of the several speeders they didn't list a maximum flight ceiling for?

No, it has a ceiling of 75 meters, Close Sensors, one pilot + 0 passengers, EncC 4.

@HappyDaze I wouldn't mind stats for the Hyena and Tri-Fighter.

Also, does it have a sidebar about droid ships similar to Rise? Is it changed in any way?

The same sidebar appears.

Any requests? I'm going to be up all night.

Westar-35, Crushgaunts? And the Portable Plasma Shield, Whipcord Thrower. Also what their rarities are?

Thank you so much :)

In addition to the named characters, what generic adversaries do we get in the book (no need for the full stat blocks unless you want to, happy to wait for my copy for that)? Do we get stats for Death Watch minions, Nightsisters, Pykes, etc?

clone trooper, clone sergeant, senate guard, jedi temple guard, jedi padawan, nightsister, nightbrother warrior, death watch commando, pyke syndicate interrogator, trandoshan hunter, aqua droid, arakyd ringneck recon droid, assassin probe droid, probe killer swarm, b1 rocket battle droid, b1 supervisor droid, buzz droid, bx-series droid commando (missed this one on my first read through), droideka sharpshooter, FA-4 pilot droid, octuptarra tri-droid, super battle droid rocket trooper, super tactical droid

None of the droids have Price/Rarity listed.

I am very surprised that no Umbaran stuff was included in either book beyond species option. No planet deep dive, no fighter stats, no NPC stats.

Ta! If I may ask what are the cost and rarities of them?

Of course. Unlike the droids in the Adversaries section, the vehicular droids have Price/Rarity ratings given.

Droid Tri-Fighter: 40,000 (R)/8

Hyena-class Droid Bomber: 120,000 (R)/7

I would have liked both their fighter and their tank. Add those to the list of what needs to be collected for a third, likely fan-produced, Clone Wars book.

Would the Padawan make a suitable apprentice for a player character?
