Where are the links to the character sheets? I didn't see them.

Oops. How did I miss THAT ?
51 minutes ago, P-47 Thunderbolt said:Well, that was a lot of text I could skip over!
However, Ruus is interested in playing a Jedi, and his original plan for the character was to use Padawan. Do you have a tree PDF?
I'm planning to build a clone trooper, possibly starting with Engineer (Droid Specialist), though I won't be min-maxing nearly as much as I did for Scrapper (if you saw that post). Does the party have a Mechanic yet?
Any restrictions I should know about?
You will have two 6 clone squads to command second squad has 1 minion replaced by a clone sergeant. Or maybe one 6 man squad themed as a combat engineering brigade/demolitionists/pilots etc. You can pitch a (group) skill list for your minions, we can bump their attributes wounds etc. @ShockHelix is leading 5 other clone commandos (minions, 10 wounds each, 3's for attributes except presence, greatly expanded group skill list.)
The point is I want you to be happy with your character and the minion group(s) they command, but you are some stripe of clone leader rather than a grunt. Also if a clone PC dies, they get to respawn with identical stats (no xp reset) but a different name.

not exactly a pdf but it should do the trick (there's 2 new jedi specs to choose from too)

My idea for the character is more a hobbyist/"know your enemy" type, not actually a combat engineer per se.
I've got to discuss it with Ruus, as we're hoping to having the characters linked, basically me as his Jedi's clone. I'll think about group skills, I'll let you their WT/soak. I'm thinking adding Survival, Stealth, and Cool most notably, so maybe buff Cunning and perhaps push Presence up to 2 (332332?)?
I didn't realize that I'd actually be commanding groups, so perhaps I'll spec into Clone Officer* as well as ARC trooper... I'll have to see. There are so many good clone specs!!

Do you want to lead specialist clones (1 squad) or generic clones (2 squads with a rival sergeant leading the second)?

What's the difference? Is the latter RAW, the first is the buffed ones? If that is correct, then I'd vote for the Specialists.

The 1 squad of specialists clones is buffed. If you want 2 squads they'll have the RAW statblock with possible minor changes to gear.

Alright, specialists it is then.

They're still minions.... just with (possibly greatly) expanded group skill list, better attributes, more wounds, better gear.
Edited by EliasWindriderFWIW @AnomalousAuthor was highly effective because he controlled up to 4 attacks per round (his character, the sergeant, and 2 minion groups).... that's a pretty impressive action economy
@EliasWindrider , I am confirming that I am interested in joining. Apologies for responding late, weekend was busier than expected!
I was thinking of going with Padawan, since it would be early into the war if that's ok.
As @P-47 Thunderbolt has mentioned, we were thinking about doing a Jedi/Clone team up.

There's nothing wrong with having padawan as your first spec but with 900+ earned xp you're looking at 2 "filled out" trees, a third started, plus force powers and skills. Conceivably you could pick and choose from 4 trees without having filled them out for that kind of xp.
In terms of xp, we're starting where many games end.
I have to hear back from @MrTInce but right now I'm thinking that you'll start with 950 earned xp.
@EliasWindrider , would Misdirect work on droids?

Force powers and talents that affect mental state don't work on droids.
I figured, just making sure
@EliasWindrider , this is what I'm planning on doing: https://swsheets.com/c/ltyx7cuer-jorin-cass----w
I plan on starting as a Padawan, just out of the Temple on his way to meet his Master. (Master dies soon after meeting him and the Clones..
@P-47 Thunderbolt
Character will act as mentor as we go about the mission. (After a time jump, or after the Session, I'll use the remaining points to get Sentinel/Shadow - Denoting his elevated status to Knight) if that would be ok.
@EliasWindrider , questions on the availability of the Optical Camouflage System and Personal Stealth Field.
Optical Camouflage System has fluff text about not being as useful on laminate armor, but no actual limitation. Will you allow it without penalty, or what?
Personal Stealth Field has a rarity of 9. Are you willing for me to spend the credits to start with it?

Where we're at in the campaign is we just (or are just about to complete) the initial space battle above christophsis (closely following the cgi series but in chronological order). There are 2 knights and a clone commando in the game besides you. I wasn't planning on introducing a master npc. If you want to be a padawan assigned to one of the knights on scene that's fine. Maybe your old master just died and this is a temporary assignment until you can take the trials.

Let's go with the optical camouflage system without penalty

Are you limiting the other? I was considering taking both (considering being the operative term).

I'd rather steer clear of the stealth field. It doesn't seem to be plausible gear for a clone. I'm also thinking that you won't get as much use out of it as you're hoping for and I don't want you to waste credits on stuff you won't have that much opportunity to use.
Edited by EliasWindriderJust now, EliasWindrider said:I'd rather steer clear of the stealth field. It doesn't seem to be plausible gear for a clone.
Okay. I was sort of thinking of it as a way of imitating the Jorin's abilities for Misdirect, but I think that the optical camouflage system might actually be more fun since it isn't a "can't see me" button and it is a way of imitating without downright copying/exceeding.

"The Master just got killed, assigned to hang out with Knights until trials" option is good for me!
