I have a proposal

[Ben-Jammin]

I'd like to try, but I don't have any of the rulebooks on hand. I would like to play a bounty hunter, with a liking of big guns and collecting the heads of his quarry for proof of the kill.

I'll add you if you wish, but you'll need to choose a specific class first:

1. Jedi
2. Noble
3. Scoundrel
4. Scout
5. Soldier

Since you want to be a bounty hunter, I would reccomend either a soldier (if you are the charge-in-blasters-blazing type) or the scoundrel (if you are a precise assassin). I'll probably make your character a rodian, since I don't have any lego trandoshan heads.

@AlphaLurker: If you want, you can simply provide me with your character's backstory, race, name and abilities and I can make a character for you.

Abilities are the six core attributes that determine pretty much everything about your character.

-Strength (Str) is a measure of your raw physical power. Important for soldiers and jedi (to a degree). Really useful if you want to focus on melee combat.
-Dexterity (Dex) is like a measure of your agility and hand/eye coordination. Useful for scoundrels and anyone who wants to be good in ranged combat.
-Constitution (Con) is like a measure of your health and durability. A good constitution will allow your character to have higher endurance and gives a bonus to hit points.
-Intelligence (Int) measures how smart you are and is good for characters who want a high array of skills.
-Wisdom (Wis) is important for jedi and the like. Bonuses to wisdom affect force-related rolls and some other things, I can't remember for certain.
-Charisma (Cha) is a measure of your character's popularity, attractiveness, and how well they get along with others. This also adds some force-related bonuses but is more imnportant for skills like deception, diplomacy, intimidation, etc...

All scores start at 8 (I think) which gives a -1 penalty. You do however have 25 points to spend to increase these abilities in any way you wish. Or, if you would prefer a simpler approach, just use the standard score package:

15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8

Yeah, I think Rodian would be best.
So, I'd say a rodian soldier, with the following attributes:
STR:14 So he can win in a fist fight
DEX:15 So he can shoot really well.
CON:13 So he can take a flew blasts to the face.
INT:10 Not very smart...
WIS:8 And he never took an intreast in the teachings of the wise.
CHA:12 So he can fast talk his way out of when he can't just kill the guy.

Backstory: During the clone wars, his family made some ties with the separatists, and at the end of the war was run off by a lynch mob/ Clone army combo. Having to live a life of poverty on Nal Hutta, The character (no name yet ) Soon took an affinity to guns and destruction, years of gang warfare suiting him just fine. eventually, he stowed away on a cargo ship and made a name for himself as a bounty hunting soldier of fortune. So far, he has had big missions, but he is looking for a big break...

[Ben-Jammin]

Nice character. Okay, I think I just need one more player. So far the list is:

6. Pwnerade
7. Semaj Nagirrac
8. enders_shadow
9. heavyfishcannon
10. open

BTW Pwnerade and Semaj, I would like to get characters for you guys, if you can. Otherwise I can make characters for you if you want.

[enders_shadow]

Wasn't Ross going to step in?

[Ross_Varn]

Yeah, I thought I was? I'm in.

[Semaj Nagirrac]

I'll get back to you on my character. My brother in law has a rulebook that I need to get my hands on. I'll see if I can recruit him.

For now, I think i'd like to be a Jedi. I'll get my rolls to you later.

[Semaj Nagirrac]

Scrath my last post.

Could you make my character? Human jedi, male, 20 years old, light side.

[Ben-Jammin]

Alright Ross, I got you.

@ Semaj, don't worry, I'll get a character for you.

[Ben-Jammin]

[enders_shadow]

great. are you going to convert movement into studs? because I expect we're basing this off of your pictures, that might be a bit easier. Also, I'm playing a Jedi, so Ross, more support would be my suggestion.

[Ben-Jammin]

Actually are characters move in inches. In the miniatures game, each square is one inch, so I figured I would make it a little brikwarsy and make movement in inches. Also, IIRC, each inch is about 5 feet (or 1.5 meters or something like that) in game scale. So if you hear me say "the distance to the target is around 20 feet..." or something don't get confused and think it is across my room when it's really about 4 inches.

Looks very good. 2 things:
1. I can take or leave the racial modifiers, as they tend to mean +1 on one thing, -2 on anothher thing, and just all around unimportant/
2. What is devastating attack? IT looks... intriguing

Also, Do you think I may be too anti-heroish to be in a party of Jedi? I figured that bounty hunters would be more prevalent in an empire-era campaign. Maybe I'm doing bodyguard work?

I know how tabletop rpgs work, I just think it would be easier to tell distance measuring by studs if we aren't there.

Sabe, a brash young human female who's attempting to be non-descript, skipped out on her father's perception of her place in his burgeoning sector of space when she came of age, two months ago, running with a hacked account of credits and a sense that she didn't... belong there. She's looking for adventure. There's a good bet that it will find her, instead.

Look good?

[Ben-Jammin]

Looking good to me Ross.

@heavyfishcannon: Racial mods for Rodians are +2 Dex, -2 Wis, and -2 Cha, so I figured you wouldn't want an abysmal wisdom and an even lower charisma, so I didn't add them. I also gave your character a dark side score of 1 so he could be more evil-ish like you wanted.

Devastating attack is the talent that I chose for your character. It allows you to dish out some extra damage with a weapon group that you are proficient with.

And BTW, we are playing in clone wars era, not Galactic Civil War.
