Re: Hello!
FWIW, the point of the free rank of Well Rounded and the extra rank in a Career Skill is, as I understand it, to compensate for the fact that F&D Careers get two fewer Career Skills and one fewer free skill rank than their AOR and EOTE counterparts. Thus, starting in F&D shortchanges a PC, since the...

Re: The Game Concept
I think Flamiel's referring to this text from the CRB, p. 109: "The mentor makes it easier for members of the group to learn Force powers. When a Player Character purchases the basic version of a Force power, he may decrease the cost of the basic power by 5 XP." Some GMs interpret the "a" in "a Forc...

Re: Hello!
Remember, too, that Flamiel should get the same bonus skills you let me take for AAA if he starts in a F&D Career. I believe it was a free rank in Well Rounded and one extra Career-skill rank over what the F&D rules grant.

AAA's posted. Trip, maybe PM me with any further details Alamy would know other than the very vague things I included in her background?

Re: Alamy Alphine A'Culea ("Triple A")
I just rechecked my character creation and math, and here's a breakdown on how character creation went. (I was wrong about F&D specializations only granting 1 free skill rank; they grant 2. For that reason, I've only take one additional skill rank to get back on par with the EOTE/AOR folks.) Unfortu...

Re: Alamy Alphine A'Culea ("Triple A")
The flashback is one year back. I figure you have a chance meeting while investigating (during flashback time). They get caught. AAA tries to help by staying in the shadows and secretly assisting. The year between the flashback and current time can be filled in later. If it's a year back, she'd be ...

Re: Alamy Alphine A'Culea ("Triple A")
Ah, OK. I had envisioned Alamy as someone who wasn't framed along with the others, but if that means waiting several weeks to get involved, that may not be the best option. I gather y'all are being set up right now? If that's the case, perhaps her father sent her to try to stop this whole charade be...

I get it: Amy Amanda Allen. Nice to stick with the theme! Figured it'd be appropriate. Let's hope she sticks around for more than a season. :) Does this concept look tenable? I also remember swrider mentioned a Mentor bonus for Force powers. Is it -5 XP for the basic version of powers, or something...

Alamy Alphine A'Culea ("Triple A")
Great! Here's one character concept, an intrepid Devaronian investigative reporter. The idea is that she relies on sneaking into places she's not supposed to be to get stories. Hopefully a sneak-oriented character isn't stepping on the toes of any of the current roster of PCs. It'd be more economica...

Re: OOC Game Play Discussion
Great! I'll work up a character concept. Quick question: With EOTE & AOR Careers, you get a free rank in 4 of 8 base Career Skills, and 2 of 4 Specialization Career Skills. But with F&D, you only get 3 of 6 base Career skills, and 1 of 4 Specialization Career Skills. In other words, Force Rating 1 s...

Re: OOC Game Play Discussion
Cool! Looks like y'all have a face, leader, pilot, and ranged tank, so any other role would work? And just to make sure I understand: I get Force Rating 1, even without taking a F&D career or Force-sensitive Exile or Emergent? Some specs I think would be fun: Warden, Pathfinder, Investigator, Shadow...

Hey, Trip, forgive the interruption. Any room for one more in this game? Now that I understand the rules of the board better, I'd love to join up. But no worries if you want to run with four folks for the time being.

Hi, everyone,
I just wanted to say hello and that I'm excited to find a game to join. I found this site via a Google search of all places, but I was gratified to find that several of the posters here are active on the FFG forums, as well. Looking forward to some gaming!
