Hey guys. as the title says i need a little bit with the plans for my character.
To give a little context. Our campaign is set shortly, i.e. a couple of years, ater the great Jedi purge. To be exact one year after the empire attacked the Mon Cala. Our Characters are a Jedi Padawan (me), a Warrior Starfighter Ace (our pilot), a Sentry Shadow and a Mystic Seer. In the long run every character wil want wield a lightsaber and learn a lightsaber form. This is were i am not certain which form to take with my character. Right now i am contemplaiting whether to spec into Makashi or Ataru. Im pretty sure that i can rule out Niman and Shien as those to are likely to be taken by our Seer (who wants to be a kind of force wizard) and our Shadow (the Technician). Im also pretty sure our pilot wants to go down the ataru road since he has a 4 in agi.
Right now i have 3s in Agi, Brawn, Willpower and Pr as i liked a more well rounded approach to my stats and thresholds. With the arguments above aswell as my stats i have narrowed my "lightsaber form choice pool" down to Niman. Makashi, and Ataru. The percs of the specs aswell as their drawbacks, i.e. Ataru being a glass canon and Makashi being a lightsaber dueling spec, are clear to me. What i am contemplaining is more of a narrative vs. composition thing, if this makes sense. Makashi opens my Character up to being the on guy kkeping the Inquisitor occupied (our campaign will be centered around the inquisitorius) while other can do their job. Ataru opens me up to be much more of a meat grinder. The narrative benefit of Ataru would be that our grp could find a holocron of Yoda or even meet him in order to teach Ataru to my character and our pilot, while Makshi could fit better from a group composition standpoint.
So im interested in your thoughts guys, and pls excuse my whacky grammar as im not a native speaker.
