Im wanting to stat up the Shi'ido (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Shi%27ido) so I can properly build a Gmpc to act as a cross between Yoda & OB1 char for my group. Anyone already playing with this?

Key features I'm looking to put into the race stat's

A: Shape shifting

1-including having things stored in their bodies)

2-Telpathy to fil in gaps

B: Mental resistance to Force Powers

I have no idea that to put for thier stats, though I think high Willpower would be appropriate as they are hard to mind trick and based on the flavor of their shape-shifting would be based on Discipline not Deception. IDK..

In this game system, a "GM PC" is just simply not needed. You can just stat out a "Nemesis" NPC and have him act in whatever role you deign appropriate.

This makes it much easier than trying to stat out a species. Just create the NPC, and let him do whatever you like!

But to start, you might consider the Discipline skill and the Indistinguishable talent. Bigger shape-shifting is best handled in the narrative, I feel.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Gm PC is just the char that we're(me and the other gm that are trading off after each Story arc) adding xp to. The least amount given to any char per game is also given to the Gm PC so there's a kind of xp floor for the long run campaign... Shi'ido Explorer kind of makes a good concept for what we're wanting to do. But thanks for the sudgestions!

Ah, right trading off GM duties is one thing.

Well...yeah, Indistinguishable would be probably be good. Perhaps Hidden Storage as well? I don't remember Shi'ido being able to hide stuff inside themselves, but that would probably do it.

If so, why not just both play a different character and still have a joint NPC?

It solves more issues than it creates:

It gives an xp floor so new players get enough xp to be OK without min-maxing.

Since the gm that is playing now has a general idea of the direction & shape the campaign is going they can nudge the group in character being in an "obiwan" type way.

It helps with consistency to have a single PC that is there every month as opposed to two pc's tagging in and out. Especially when the two concepts were similar.

Sounds like you and the other GM just don't want to play by the rules of the game. Play it as a NPC Nemesis type build. There is a reason that race isn't in the game because with the racial skills everyone would want to play one and beef him up with XP on skills. A NPC Nemesis limits the overall potential over time, but makes the most sense.
