@caesar - Your 5e sheet is really clean. Hope you dont mind me using your organizing ideas for my sheet. Im still cleaning it up (did a little more today, JJ) and Im deciding on my last couple Force powers. I want to play a group buffing pally but some of these Force powers are just too freaking cool.

Oh, how do I determine my initiative? (Sorry, not as familiar with 5e)

It's your dex modifier plus any increase granted by feats

Sure, go ahead! That's just the way I got my sheet that way, taking in inspiration from other people's sheets :D

Ok, I could use a little input from those of you more familiar with 5e. Looks like we need a true tank, which will be fun for me.

Would effective tanking require more Con and Dex than one might realize?
OOC:
edit: I realize "more Con" probably goes without saying within the terms of my question. Derp

Yes, Constitution determines your HP, while Dexterity determines your Armor Class (How easily you are hit), if you are not wearing heavy armor. It is also a rather common saving throw (Many of the high damage 5e spells call for Dex Saving throws).

Therefore, CON and DEX are the tank's best friends, along with WIS for the also very common WIS Saving Throws and mainly STR for damage. Also, as a Jedi, WIS will probably be your Casting ability.

If you are going full tank, you probably don't care that much about damage, so STR would not be that high on the priority list.

@Kinudig You only have one force power listed from the 4 you get. There are some good at-will powers that should help with tanking if that is your goal

Thanks for the insights, all.

Yes, I'm still working on the other Force Power selections. It was important to me to see what roll needed to be filled based on group comp.

I'll have to do a little retooling...

Currently reading through the Factions and Membership section of the Wretched Hives book, looking at how I can apply that to the Luka Sene and the Sene Seekers.

OK I'll be building the Luka Sene as a faction later today, using the rules in Wretched Hives.
Since they are more or less structured like DnD characters (with Stats, levels and things like that), I will do that in character sheets here on GP.
Could I have another character slot in this game so I can submit it when I am done?

Also there is a premade Mandalorian faction, could be interesting for Khulod, if you haven't seen that already.

Before we get into that, are we using factions?
Mar 2, 2020 1:15 pm
That is a valid question, I kinda assumed that, sorry '-.-
If JackJack doesn't want to use them, I'm totally fine with that.

Sorry for jumping into that too quickly without GM-Approval...

(still gonna build it, even if it's just an exercise to flesh out the nature of the organisation)

I am not super familiar with faction rules, ill read over them a little bit more later, and have a better answer then.

OK Reading deeper into Factions, I don't really know if we need them... Sorry for the panic '-.-
