I've been playing the Jedi career from the Old Republic books (well, technically just book singular, since I'm still at the padawan stage ) and I've been having a blast. It's interesting playing a generalist career instead of something hyperfocused like scoundrel or mechanic or whathave you. I also love the signature ability - that'll really turn her into a badassed swordsman once I throw some points at it. Well, that and get down to the bottom of my tree.

My only complaint? That there's only one sig ability, while all the other careers get two (well, aside from the clone career - they're in the same boat as I am). Not super annoying, but slightly annoying.

Has anyone generated a second sig ability or houseruled a "Yeah, why don't you include X ability too" for your career? Or if you were going to allow that, any thoughts on what sig ability might be a good fit?

Personally I would look at the other force careers from FAD and with GM permission allow one of those if you fill a tree from that career. From a narrative perspective this shows your Jedi's focus.

Well, you can always start in a FaD career, and buybinto Padawan. Narratively doesn't matter and you can use that ability

Our GM is letting us pick 1 sig ability as our second from a F&D career that most fits our focus. That fits us nice as our choices will quite probably not overlap. One will choose between Consular/Mystic, another from Guardian/Warrior, and the third from Sentinel/Seeker. Works great for us.

A jedi starting knight, back tracking into padawan or padawan survivor, and then going niman-disciple would be a beast with the warrior's unmatched ferocity signature ability. Before jedi career was out I loved the warrior: steelhand adept/niman disciple/padawan survivor or ascetic build with unmatched ferocity. Once per session you can go toe to toe with a ataru striker, while still having maxed out will power, 4 fr. Draw closer, with unmatched ferocity and ebb/flow is pretty potent, having that and unmatched interception,.. starfighter ace is pretty tempting too.
