Jah, day to I and I!

I kind of would like to be AC-330's stooge. Will work cheap.

FYI I'll start posting on the gameplay board once you all are ready.

Sure, sounds cool!

Can I post in the gameplay?

go ahead, but i want to make sure you all have connections before we go anywhere. it's not very clear why the republic would hire some random people to escort the noble. as a droid you don't need as much explanation. you could have been hired simply because you're cheap. of course that's just you... the others need some explanation. pretty much no-one is going to hire a Jawa unless they're with someone else.


As both me and Fassa hitched a ride on a ship. Is it ok, Fassa, if we, by chance; stowed away on the same ship? That would lead to us being friends.

Could the noble we are escorting be one that I saved from a separatist agent in my back story? It would explain why a padawan is going on this mission.

Ideas for connections:
@AC-330: Could I have met you at an official function where the Jedi were present?

@Fassa: My old job before becoming a Jedi was a delivery boy for Baron Vorga's live crustacean snacks. Could you have been a frequent customer?

@Kibitja: Could my master and I have asked you for information about battle droids?

@Volo: Maybe Jedi Master Kit Fisto hired you as a pilot once for a mission? I had never met you before, but Kit recommended you.

Another idea would be: My master could have connections with your families company

@Roc: sure, but the noble would have given you a very bad impression... she's kind of a jerk to anyone who doesn't listen to everything she says.

BTW: Kit Fisto is the BOSS! I love him... :P

Good idea. I'd come along for that reason; neutralizing droids. Since I have an ion pistol, I might be able to cannibalize parts.


Zelda here... tagging in. As far as her 'apparent' species, like I said before she's posing as a kind of unknown near-human mixed species rather than any specific recognizable species.

As for possible reason to hire her, she is not above mercenary work, although she tries to keep a positive reputation rather than a negative one, and she retains her "Rin Shi" identity as her primary. If you ever see her as someone else, she's always careful to avoid doing anything to allow a connection to Rin Shi. If any of the other PCs want to have further connection to her, let me know...

Just understand she's very very slow to trust, especially force users. So, you more than likely have no idea she's a shapeshifter.

Lastly, I am not 100% set on that avatar. There is another I really like, but I can't seem to find it. I'll look more later. If I can't find it, then I'll stick with this one.

I will tell you, you will be fighting droids at some point... i mean the republic is at war right now :)

just waiting for Rin to post before we start

Ha, well that's not as much of a problem for Shi'ido in d20/Saga as it was in West End. They just don't get the +4 telepathy bonus to Disguise vs. droids.

(ah crap! Hate it when I post as the wrong character!)

go ahead and buy a vox box if you want... but pay for it youself


Can someone look over my sheet? I used the excel spreadsheet character generator and there seems to be a few things I'm confused about.
Why is my deception -1 while persuasion is +7?
Why is my blaster attack -1?

Spoiler:

Volo Kalimir CL 1Medium Zabrak scoundrel 1
Force 5
Init +4; Senses Perception +7
Languages Basic, Zabrak, Binary
Defenses Ref 18 (17 flat-footed), Fort 12, Will 15; 0
hp 18; Threshold 12
Speed 6 squares
Melee by weapon -1
Ranged blaster pistol, sidearm -1 (3d6+0)
Base Atk +0; Grp +1
Atk Options Point Blank Shot
Abilities Str 8, Dex 13, Con 11, Int 12, Wis 14, Cha 15
Special Qualities Heightened Awareness, Superior Defenses
Talents Force Pilot
Feats Force Sensitivity, Point Blank Shot, Weapon Proficiency (pistols), Weapon Proficiency (simple)
Skills Deception -1, Initiative +4, Perception +7 (can reroll, but must accept second result), Persuasion +7, Pilot (Use the Force) +7, Use the Force +7
Possessions sidearm blaster pistol, combat jumpsuit, concealed holster

Did I mess up? Are my stats just crap? Is this character generator flawed? Help! You're my only hope!


HP 25 Threshold 13 Condition: | Ref 18 Fort 13 Will 12 | Perception +6, low-light

This what I get when I run it through 1.4 sagasheet:

Volo Kalimir CL 1
Medium Zabrak scoundrel 1
Init +6; Senses heightened awareness; Perception +7
Languages Basic, Binary, Zabrak

Defenses Ref 18 (flat-footed 17), Fort 12, Will 15
hp 18; Threshold 12

Speed 6 squares
Melee by weapon -3
Ranged blaster pistol -1 (3d6)
Base Atk +0; Grp +1
Atk Options Point Blank Shot

Abilities Str 8, Dex 13, Con 11, Int 12, Wis 14, Cha 15
Talents Force Pilot
Feats Force Sensitivity, Point Blank Shot, Weapon Proficiency (pistols, simple weapons)
Skills Acrobatics -1, Climb -3, Deception +7, Endurance -2, Initiative +4, Jump -3, Perception +7 (may reroll but must keep the second result), Persuasion +7, Pilot +7 (Use the Force), Stealth -1, Swim -3, Use the Force +7
Possessions blaster pistol, combat jumpsuit (+4 armor), concealed holster

I have corrected the above to represent the fact that the armor check check penalty (-2) was calculated into skill checks but not into to hit rolls; see p. 132


HP 25 Threshold 13 Condition: | Ref 18 Fort 13 Will 12 | Perception +6, low-light

The above Init value should have been Init +4 with armor on, not Init +6.

so just to confirm, i move as fast as you move. as long as you are posting ,I'm trying to respond. so don't be surprised if i "ninja" you a few times.


Sorry I've been MIA. I'm having PC issues the past month... If you need to bot me to move the game along, that's cool. Just remember she keeps her actual species secret. :)

As for the jawa language, yeah that's what I meant... understanding the jawa trade language, i know only jawa can actually speak it, like Shyriiwook.


So I should get my new PC today, so I'll be able to post more. So sorry about being MIA.

no prob, didn't miss much


My apologies if I stole the previous scene. It was the right kind of moment to display Volo's talents and his brash, hasty, attitude.

I completely ignored the part about connections from earlier in this thread, super sorry.
@Roc: I really wanted Volo to start out as the outsider who weasels his way in, completely ignorant of the trouble ahead, so as it is, he has no ties to anyone in the party directly.
With that said though, his father, who passed within the last 10 years, was a pilot and could have easily served Master Fisto. His father chose not to disclose the details of many of his missions, so Volo won't have much knowledge of Fisto, but it's completely possible that Trellian (if he's old enough) would have been acquainted with his father, Kal Kalimir.

I think it was pretty awesome :)


Okay, I should be able to post more now :) I usually try to do all my PboP postings around 6pm central (I have an alarm set to remind me since I am forgetful)
