Maximum credits...!??!! Dang...back to the drawing board.... I can definately fill that extra modification slot I had left over...I think I gave myself something like 22500 over 10 levels. I might be able to do something with that extra 7500

Actually, looking back, i'm not sure that Bill said specifically to start with our Max credits, but he said to just take our starting credits and multiply by 20. So....maybe I made an assumption there. :P :lol: Too late though, GM. I already built my character. Not changing him now. :P

On a more serious note.....Turns out that James will not be able to attend GenCon at all this year. He just switched jobs/locations, and the new place has him work 7 days a week, 12 hour days, for the next 3 months, and has apparently canceled all vacation time that he had previously scheduled! So, count him out for this. :(

I did not say that, but I will allow it :)

Jonny, you are not allowed to take minions. Individual turns will be limited to an absolute 2 minute maximum, including any followers. There are 15+ people playing, and your turns without a follower are insanely long. As it is, I know you will struggle to finish in 2 minutes anyways, because anything weird (your entire build I assume) will have to be explained, and if you don't finish in time, you lose the rest of your turn (GM prerogative).

And to be fair, I debated about telling Aaron he couldn't have them either, but he already made them before Matt and I decided against the no-follower rule. He will still have to finish all of his guys in under 2 minutes per round however.

Personally, I'm not sure having followers makes much sense for the character you wrote anyway, so there is always the story reason as well.

You talking to me or Johnny there?

I should be able to do my turns fairly quick. My Followers only move whenever I move. Only 1 character out of the 4 can make attacks, as I have to give up my Standard Action in order to let one of them attack. In general though, I'll mostly be using the Squad Actions talent, which basically just means that I get bonus damage, attack, or autofire area, depending on how many of my followers have LOS on my target. So, shouldn't add too much time to my actions.

That comment was to Jonny. Read his character story. Any old followers would have abandoned him when he had to run for the hills. Crime Lord followers are not "friends". They would not follow a crime lord in hiding without power.

nevermind I forgot to add in my 18 hps starting/toughness and forgot to add in my CON thats why I was only sitting at 105 hps. I knew something was off when I only had 105 hps. It wasnt that I wanted a Minon its that I didnt want to die in one shot thinking I only had 100 hp when i posted. Yes Bill a minion doesn't fit my character story at all.
203 hps looks a lot better and I even added a extra second wind which i might take off.

If you think my build is too weird which It might be but I really like the idea I can just go to my Melee beat build. I am working on making the melee guy simple which he is not right now.

Johnny, you just have to give my character a reason to use Harm's Way to keep you safe. :P That's why Noble's have such low HP, because they are supposed to depend on the rest of the group. :)

Where's is the build? And why does a Noble have an 18 Constitution??, which is the only way to have climbed that many HPs without the Toughness feat (which is a waste on a Noble).

Starting with Rex's build has really crimped my character. All those levels of Soldier, but I only have 215 HP. Rex started with 90 at level 10.

Kiehl had a life. A good life. At least it was until Kiehl got a little too greedy. To the general public, Kiehl was the owner of a corporation and your typical businessman. To his 'associates' (The closest thing to friends to Kiehl) and business contacts, his corporation served as a front to more Evil practices. Behind that Kiehl reached for more than credits; he slowly gained control of the economics of the entire planet and even the government itself. In the end, though, it all came crashing down. He was exposed as a thief among thieves and was only able to escape imprisonment and worse because of his ability to blend in to any environment he found himself in.

Today Kiehl still leaves a wake of enemies and fleeced business partners. Nothing is safe around Kiehl; he'll gain the trust of those around him long enough to take from them what he wants.Despite that, in times of conflict he's also known as a resourceful ally. He'll use brains over brawn anyday, and is a natural leader. Were he not so despicable and instead used his talents for the good of those around him, Kiehl could be the kind of person men relied on in times of crisis.

Well your hp should depend on how Bill allows the hp to be taken. Most WotC rpgs use an average for the npc/ monster hp stat. So, if Rex had 10 lvls of soldier (which gets a D10, right?) then he gets his base at lvl 1, and then at each level he will get an alternating amount of either 5 or 6(might be 4 or 5) + his Con bonus. Im not sure if they actually do this in SW, but they did in Dnd 3.x and I think in 4th ed, too.

If Bill wants you guys to go with this same kind of average, yea, you could leave those as is, otherwise, you may want to look into changing it up if you are gonna roll or however you do it.

Also, dont forget to add in HP from previous levels for getting a higher Con modifier.

Yeah, easier to just leave out the Con x Lvl portion of your HP until the very end.

TCW, being at 215 is probably about right. I'm only at 242, and I took every single level being Soldier or Elite Trooper, AND I took the Toughness feat. You've got a few levels of Scoundrel/Gunslinger, which are lower dice rolls than the Soldier/ET. So you're probably not too far off.

The way Dawn of Defiance does HP is that if you're a soldier, you get 7HP per level, rather than rolling a d10. Nobles/Scoundrels get 4 (instead of rolling the d6), Scouts get 5 (instead of d8), and Jedi also get 7 (instead of d10). Then Elite Troopers get 9 I think (instead of a d12). So, if you want to use that sort of system to double check it....

Tal Vode would be a total of: Starting HP (assuming Soldier): 30; Soldier 6: 42 HP; Officer 3: 15; Gunslinger 10: 50; Con X Lvl: 60 - I come up with 197.

So I'd say you're still above average.


BTW, was looking back at your character stats to do this, and looks like you only have 3 talents from your 7 levels of Soldier. You should have 4 (i each for levels 1, 3, 5, and 7).

Did you account for Talents that are now irrelevant? For Example: I have Improved Armor Defense which required Armored Defense but completely replaced it. So to save space on my character sheets I tend to write Improved in front of it. Same with Dual Weapon Mastery. It becomes one line that adds II, then III.

I think a 42 reflex is ridiculous for a Noble Crime Lord - No idea how you can explain that one. But I expected as much out of Jonny.

LOL, I didn't see that before. I know he min-maxed his stats, lol. +8 for Str and Wis, but a 22 for Dex. Still though, that's only a +6 Dex modifier, and the best I can come up with for his Defense (including what I assume is a +2 to Ref for Nagai?) should be Reflex of 39, with a flat-footed of 32 (lose both DEX bonus AND Dodge Bonus).

+4 Reflex for outlaw Class Bonus. I dropped my Dex to a 16,Cha to a 24,Int 18

Edit Yes that high of Defense wasnt needed I think it might be still a little too high but I dont really want to go lower on my Dex skills.I think dropping to a 37-38 would be better.
I think overall he will be a lot of fun to play I think not attacking is going to be kind of weird at first but what are you going to do. At least I wont have to roll any damage dice. Ill only have to bring a D20 and D6's for force with me thats kind of odd.
Bill I think If I can figure out what I am doing every round a head of time my turns should be short. Since I move/give a action then for my standard I take things away or make an enemy attack a foe or ally odds are that wont happen I dont think. The longest thing I think will be my reactions they should be pretty short I would think.
