Star Wars RPG!
« on: April 07, 2008, 11:46:48 am »
Well the local comic shop I work part-time for has recently started a Star Wars campaign in honor of the new 4.0 system released and the to help spread the new system out for business I decided to jump in. The DM is quite old school with his rolling system, 4D6 keep the top 3, no re rolls, and you roll straight down the chart for stats, no switching them around. I actually rolled quite well, before modifiers of race and class I'll jot them down.

STR - 18
DEX - 14
CON - 12
INT - 14
WIS - 14
CHA - 7 (Ouch)

Looking at the str and dex it was obvious I was going to play a fighter class, but what, ladies and gentlemen I present you The Enforcer



Being I've always been partial to the wookie and the fact that I'm playing a fighter, or what in the Star Wars book is considered a soldier, I figured a wookie just makes sense. So after modifications these are my new stats!

STR - 22
DEX - 12
CON - 14
INT - 12
WIS - 12
CHA - 5 (YEEEOOOW)

So basically due to my nature of a low freaking charisma and the fact intimidations and a lot of other useful checks are based on charisma, I got added a perk of me being able to run intimidate checks if I can show a feat of strength. So I basically am missing partial fur, I took the flaw of only having one eye. So I wear a sweet eye patch until I can scavenge enough money for bionics.

We've already ran our first mission which was to rescue me from the mines of a planet since I was slaved out. I fortunately was able to get a mining pick in my possession after ripping a couple of droids apart. On a side note my entire party is scared to death of me right now due to the nature of my strength and a few good intimidate checks.

So The Enforcer and his party are on our way to a distant planet (campaign is set pre-clone wars) in order to pick up work as smugglers. I took quite a few points into mechanics and piloting so I've been pretty much setup as the pilot of our freighter we stolen borrowed and kinda of defaced and redid all the licensing and tags for it. My next game is this Thursday so I'll keep an update on it.

Did you paint the miniature yourself, or did it come painted?

Pre-painted miniature I had laying around from the Star Wars miniatures game. I will usually do a little modifications on minis for character value, I'll end up painting a patch over his eye and probably use some lighter tones of Grey to give his older hair and some tan to look like he has balding spots on it, the preliminary mini is pretty darn close to my look though.

We do the 4D6 - low(4D6) method too, but we can pick where our values go. :P

When does 4.0 come out, and can you get me books discounted? I'd be very interested in acquiring some of them... since our group wants to try 4.0.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

There's not a lot out right now as for source books best I can do is 10% off retail , 4.0 is honestly really depressing for me at least, they dumbed it down a lot and made it even more ass-backwards. As of right now there is no way to convert a 3.5 campaign to 4.0 you'd have to buy all new books.

Wow. I'm sorry to hear they ruined it -- it only looked like they slightly ruined it from the glancing over of it. And 10% retail would probably be made up easily in S&H.

I guess we'll stick with 3.5. Thanks! :)
