Dawn of Defiance characters

[Inquisitor Tremayne]

If you are planning on playing in a Dawn of Defiance campaign, the new adventure path for the Star Wars Saga Edition, I am interested to see what you have for your characters.

I'm having some difficulty in deciding on who/what my character could/should be. Here are a few ideas so far.

- A Jedi padawan that survived order 66 and has taken it upon themselves to restore the Jedi order. Obviously somewhat arrogant and has an idealistic view of what the Jedi are. Would be Jedi 8/Jedi Knight 7/Jedi Master 5 and focus on being a melee monster and force user. This could be problematic due to the fact that the Jedi are greatly hunted during this setting. Probably my biggest reservation about playing this character.

- A Jedi padawan that has witnessed first hand the horror of order 66 and survived. Fearing persecution he/she has shunned their Jedi roots and instead decides to work as a mercenary/assassin. Hiring out their services to the highest bidder. Eventually get wrapped up in the rebellion and decide that the Jedi order shouldn't die out and gets back on the path of the Jedi. I'm thinking Jedi 1/Scoundrel 4/Soldier 4/Jedi Knight 7/Jedi Master 4.

- A galactic spy/assassin/sharp shooter ala James Bond. Charming and charismatic, smart, and athletic. Shuns attachments and adheres to his/her mission at all times. I'm thinking Scoundrel 5/Soldier 5/Elite Trooper 10.


I'm thinking the second one. . .

I'm thinking of running that one. If anybody has read it, let me know what you think.

I may go to a club metting and run it but don't have too much time for prep. Is the traitors gambit pretty straight forward to run if I just read it a few times before the meeting?

Edit:

BTW, If everybody else wants to be jedi, then I'd go with the bond guy.

I was thinking of making a scoundrel for all the skills and space stuff which helps a lot with running a good ship/pilot, then go soldier/elite soldier as a sharp shooter which specializes in pistols. A type of space clint eastwood.

[Inquisitor Tremayne]

I haven't read anything about it because I am going to be a player in it. However I will be collecting the downloads for after we are through so I can use the items and equipment that they present in them.

So far from what I can tell we have a Noble officer type, a Force-Sensitive Noble, a soldier droid of some sort, and my character a Jedi padawan who turns away from being a Jedi until a later time when the Jedi are needed.

I'm running DoD friday night with 5 or 6 players. Has anybody had any problems with the mission, or any tips running it with so many players?

If I can find a game, I am very interested in playing a Gungan Gunslinger/Bounty Hunter. The basic concept is a bitter, hard drinking Gungan soldier that has been exiled from Naboo. He is kind of a grey character, perhaps seeking redemption, perhaps on a spiral to his own destruction.

It was just an interesting idea I tried out on the character spreadsheet posted at Wizards forums. It looked good.

See ya,

[Farcaster]

The very word, "Gungan," makes me shudder. You may thank Jar Jar for that.

[vadersson]

That is the fun on the character. He totally is not what people expect from a Gungan. He is hard, bitter, and cautious. Anyone makes fun of his accent, he is likely to blast them.

"Yousa think me be talking funny?" Bwong! "Mesa think yousa not tinking dat no more."

Hehehehe

[Inquisitor Tremayne]

Thats awesome! Its a shame a whole species is looked down upon because of one really annoying character.

I really want to play a gungan jedi, in fact I think I am going to change my DoD character to just that!

A female gungan!

Hey, what happened to being a Gungan? I thought I had convinced you to join the movement.

Sadly I will not get to play DoD now. The group I found wound up meeting when I could not come. So far I am having a terrible time finding players.

See ya,
Duncan

[Inquisitor Tremayne]

Whoops! Even thats not right. She is a Kel Dor.

I like Kel Dor better and have been wanting to play a Kel dor Jedi for like ever!
