Hi, Friends.

A cursory search of the F&D and Genesys forums here at FFG didn't turn up what I'm looking for. It could very well be here; I just missed it.

I have a potential player in the F&D adventure I'm DMing. I say potential: the only way they say they'll join the game is if they could be a Baby Yoda-type character. What base stats / careers / skills /talents would you suggest to make this a viable, playable, valuable character?

Thanks in advance!

Based on what we see in the show and the movies someone of Yoda's species would probably look something like this.

Brawn: 1 Agility: 2 Intellect: 2 Cunning: 2 Willpower: 3 Presence: 2

WT: 9+ Brawn ST: 11+ Willpower

Adept with the force: Once per session when making a force power check you may suffer one strain to add one lightside/darkside pip to the roll.
At character creation you gain one free rank in discipline. You cannot train discipline over rank two during character creation.

This could be a little strong with all abilities stacking on willpower, however, this seems quite close to what we see in the movies.

Just give the Teacup Giraffe some Arcana ranks.

edit: oh maybe Divine instead for that Heal.

Grab all the yellow, green and blue and white dice. Roll. Ignore black pips on the white dice. You’re welcome.

So here's what I landed on, culled from suggestions found here, on FFG, and other forums, plus some stuff I added myself. Many thanks to all those whose ideas appear here. Looking forward to seeing how it plays in the adventure. Feedback welcome. Obviously, feel free to steal/modify for your own purposes.
