Callista Firin—Togruta Thief

"Out in the Rim, you gotta do what you gotta do to survive, even if it's frowned upon. Whever, if people wanted to keep their stuff they should keep better track of 'em, right?"

Callista is a thief, a pickpocket, a scoundrel. Whatever title you call her by, she's adept at parting people and their possessions.

With your permission, RustInPieces, I'd like to be a Sentinel/Shadow from the F&D book. Here's the talent tree.

It gives me a starting Force Rating of 1, but I only get 3 free career skills and 2 specialization skills to offset the FR1. This saves me 10XP from purchasing FSEx, which I would mostly ignore anyway.

I'd like to play the "lucky thief" where she doesn't know that she's a Force-sensitive yet, but will learn later.

What say you, GM?

I tried to create a character but got an error, so here's the maths of what I did.

---

Original obligation: criminal
Gained +10 obligation (Bounty) for +10XP

150cr left:
Holdout blaster: 200cr
Heavy clothing: 50cr, 1 soak
Combat knife x4: 100cr

Maybe Perception (Cun) to search for traps, hidden loot, etc. Thief needs to be scope their way around. Or maybe vigilance in case someone gets the drop on you to give you that boost in initiative.

Perception is already a career skill, but vigilance would be a good alternative!

Are you sure you don't want to upgrade a characteristic or two? This is the only time, aside from the bottom row of talents, you'll get to do so.

You might try a knowledge skill. I do like unorthodox skill use. ;)

I'm good with my characteristics as-is. It's expensive to increase them, and I need the XP to spend elsewhere. Besides, with a few more XP I can get +1 FR.

I'm a little behind on this, but Callista is approved.

I just noticed when updating the Obligometer thread that Callista has no obligation on the sheet. Comparing with your post above, I see that she has some. Please check your sheet and make sure it's up to date with all the necessary information (barring bugs like attribute-skill relationships).

I opted for +10 obligation, so I have 15 Criminal Obligation—a good thief's name gets around :p
