It has been long years since last Star Wars game I played, I have concept for a doctor who is force adept. Overall aiming for class wise force sensitive Scoundrel 7/Force Adept 2 (serve as ship's medical doctor who can use both mundane and force based means of cure and has mean aim with a blaster). His force adept nature does not stem from any traditions but more from his personal interactions with life and death through his work and his intense compassion and that his grandparents both were jedi (well, rogue jedi as they both left order and sort disappeared as means to be together as jedi code did not allow marriages and kept their jedi status as secret from their children and grandchildren). He keeps his force powers secret as he barely understands them and does not want draw attention on himself. May in future invest levels on force disciple.

Race wise thinking either human or Zeltron if allowed. I found some species statistics for Saga based chargen for them (up to Muse decide allow them or not or present own ideas for species). Image plan to be used would be this and overall be a charming doctor with bit scoundrel on him (and as Zeltron intense passion and emphaty as doctor and driven to save lives or improve them with drugs). Overall he had got various career as drug mixer/dealer and also unlicensed doctor serving cartels and what not while adventuring the galaxy. Among in mix somehow force awakened in him and that part of him he keeps strict control as it scares him damn a lot.

If someone else wants play the doctor, can play role as mechanic (the force sensitivity still there but less focus on healing powers and more on body control stuff).

     Royal Ventures CEO, seventh son royal turned transport merchant. Quickly expanding trade routes, and first hand negotiations. Ok, in negotiations for a new ship after a shipping lane dispute, may need a pilot (currently in negotiations), need a mechanic, and bodyguard. Yes I have cash and credits.

So you would play as noble + something (if multiclass or prestige out) and then we got Sumara as pilot and then need bodyguard (for you) and then mechanic/doctor.

I'm working today, but since it's from home, I should be able to spend the day working on a character with my various pdfs and stuff.  I've never played anything beyond low level so I'll need to see how these destiny rewards and stuff work.

How will credits work for 9th level?  An Elite Soldier'y type will definitely need to be heavily gear dependent for the best armor and such.

He could be the CEO's bodyguard, OR he could be something more 'official', such as the military rep for whoever was sending the expedition after the padawans.

Muse

  Good questions there. 

Zaer: I was working with Chajesdad earlier, he was building Noble 5/Solder 4.  His next level will be melee duelist.  He's got a very nice Use Computer score. 

I like your concept.  You're the first on the waiting list, so there's a pretty good chance you'll get a spot--or even that I'll make an extra.  You've got a really useful concept and you're an extremely relaible player. 

Cataclysmic: 
Credits: 
For each level you have of  Jedi (or a Jedi like PRC) you gain 1,200 credits. 
For each level you have of Scout/scoundrel/soldier/related PRC you get 3,000 credits. 
For each level you ahve of  Noble, you get 4,800 credits. 

the three ways to get extra resources are: 
the noble talent Wealth.  (Works as written and errated.) 
Having trained use of the skill Bureacracy (1 roll, result x 250)
Gambler Talent (2 gamblign rolls/timey you have the talent.  Same result as Bureaucracy.) 

If your character needs a loan, talk to me about it.  We'll use the same mechanic that is used for financing a ship.

  An elite comando from the Republic's reserve units could be asked by Senator Dezen of Snivia to assist in this operation.

Ok, so your fine with Zelthron race and race abilities then? Ok, start working on the sheet (albeit not used saga system but I got once original d20 rules of star wars RPG when it came out and I found PDF via google).

Ah, did not know. Thought they were homebrewed ones :P. Not familiar with splats much nor in official rule book had no stats for them so had to google them. But nice to know.

Cataclysmic Archangel

I've begun work on my sheet.  I think I'm gonna go with a basic human, and I have my points figured out, I believe.  For the concept, I'm going to make this guy a heavily armored extraction expert... I know, it's a bit tailored to this, but it makes him easy to slot in as a military acquisition.  Using 'Rescue' as my destiny (and that he keeps going back for more).  Soldier and Elite Soldier look perfect.  Can I throw in stuff from non-core books?  Galaxy at war had a bunch of talents that looked good, and I think I'll probably use Scum to build his armor.

Muse

   All those sources are great, Arcangel, I'd love to see? 

  Zaer, Zeltron's are presetned in the Legacy Era sourcebook. 

  Here's a great tool for navigatign the source books:  http://www.starwarsrpgindex.com/

Ok, so far my char is w.i.p but here is stuff what I have worked so far; Cein 'Patch' Rein-Zarr, I took the web enchantment stuff for outlaw tech talent tree to make fast repairs with mechanics skill. Also he did not become 'doctor' until he became force adept and unlocked talent treat injuries by using the force (so that part about him being doctor is fairly new). But his completed destiny (rescue) is related for him unlocking his force adept abilities and saving someone by healing them. So reason why he has 2 destiny points is because all earlier builded points he got spended away when he completed earlier destiny and now 2 levels he is now into his new destiny (which is rescue, up to GM decide what it exactly entails).

Anyways only question mark is that should I keep advanced melee weapon profiency or take something else for my concept (which would fit better). Intent with weapon finesse is allow him be good in melee combat if need be albeit his primary combat method is through blasters.

Still very much WIP.  Stats and skills are all that I have so far.  Working my way through Talents and Feats right now, and then I'll start throwing in gear.

Maybe instead fo weapon finesse, either Precise Shot or Skill Focus: USe the Force?

Consider heavy weapon proficiency and burst fire.  Both really strong feats, and they make you a great stafhip gunner to boot.

So... did that link work?  If so, awesome.

I think I'm done except for gear, which might take me some effort.  Need to find him some medium armor with fun bells and whistles.

Would you allow the 'military' restriction for him on gear?

Hey Muse, how many players are you planning on accepting? That whole list assuming everyone has solid concepts/apps? a more cozy group size?

  Max 8, Latooni. 

  If people really want, I could run 2 games of 5 instead.  I know some people don't like big groups.

  C.A. the link was working last I checked.  :) 

  Military grade gear cots a 20% lisencing fee.  (Or x4 cost if you got it on the black market and there's no paper trail of you having it.) 

  If it's illigal grade or has the raree tag, I might ask to know how / why you have it. 

  I'm personaly really fond of the Corillian powersuit.  But the battle armors in the KOTOR books have lots of upgrade slots.

I was looking at the Katarn armor in Galaxy at War, but that's outside my price range, even without the 20%.  I'm sitting on 27k to work with.  Plus I need something to go pewpew with.

My char is mechanics expert, he can repair ship (fast, even during combat or when it's HP is 0 he can make it work it again), he can create/craft customization on ship, armor and weapons or even droids. Albeit he misses some outlaw tech talents, but overall his nickname 'Patch' is for him able to patch both machines and people.

So go for the slicer/computer stuff :). Plus other scoundrel stuff.

Got precise shot already but your saying I should ditch weapon finesse (and overall melee stuff) and focus on my force skills and ranged combat skills? Ok.

Ranged is the best thank you very much!

@Zaer so wait, are you going Mechanic AND Doctor then?

Also, are we starting at first level? I don't think I saw a specific level.
