Kalani Character Discussion

This thread is for discussing Kalani's character other players should only post to this in regards to Kalanin's character and story collaboration is included within that.

When outlining your character please post the following:

Step 1: Background (okay basically your story)

Step 2: Choose (or outline) the following :
.....Starting Duty : 5 (from Age of Rebellion)
.....Starting Obligation : 25 (from Edge of the Empire)
.....Starting Morality : 50 (from Force and Destiny)
..........Now the above 3 things have aspects that need to be rolled (and/or chosen but prefer if you rolled at least until you got something that fit the concept unless you really feel strongly about one of them) for each and these need to outlined in your Step 2 -- a Note here for Obligation you can assign the 25 to one Obligation or split it among more than one depending on what you feel your character should have

Also in this step if you check I have altered the choices as follows:
...Choose 4 of the following (cannot choose the same one twice)
--OR--
...Choose 2 of the following (cannot choose the same one twice)

So please explicitly list what you chose for this

Step 3: Select Species -- here just out line the crunch bits that are associated with your the Species you chose along with the Species :)

Step 4: Choosing a Career -- please outline what you did in this step

Step 5: Choosing Specializations -- please outline what you did in this step

Step 6: Invest Character Generation XP -- please outline what you did in this step

Step 7: Determine Derived Attributes (if you know how)

Step 8: Determine Motivations

Step 9: Character Generation Gear & Appearance

Step 10: Post-Character Creation XP Expenditures

Step 11: Post-Character Creation Gear

-------------- The ship thing I will be taking care of based on the number of active players

D3-0R4 II

Background
Once a 2-1b Surgical droid in service to the republic. He grew weary of the personnel he served after the rise of the empire, not having had a memory wipe since the war he looked for any opportunity to escape imperial service before an imperial officer with a bad temper scrapped him for parts. The day came when a ragtag group of rebels raided one of the imperial academies on Carida where D3 was stationed on and he took the chance to willingly escape with them. Since then he has been part of the rebellion providing medical care for injured alliance members and on occassion gets sent to fight on the fronts.

Duty: Support fits a medical droid really well.

Obligation: Dutybound. His programming requires him to heal living beings that need it and if need be take action against those who impede his programming.

Obligation: Responsibility. D3 feels responsible for the health of his patients and strives to take care of them even to a fault.

I don't have a clear understanding of the morality section i need help with that

Okay -- for your Obligations please assign points to each one -- you have 25 so one could be 15 and the other could 10 --- or 20 and 5 etc...

Dutybound will be 20 and Responsibility will be 5. i don't understand how the dice stuff work for choosing morality could you clarify that please?

As for the dice rolling associated with Morality you need not concern yourself with as that is my arena -- I make all those rolls and adjust Episodes accordingly -- all you need to do is choose your characters Strength(s)/Weakness(es) keep in mind that for all of them you can have more than one -- you can have multiple Duties, multiple Obligations, and multiple Moralities --- its all mainly about what you need to best define your character -- I would suggest no more than 2 Duties and 2 Moralities though and at most 3 Obligations if you need more than one.

I think i will do Discipline and Compassion for morality. 25/25 for each

Species: Droid Career: Soldier
Knowledge (Warfare) 1
Medicine 2
Melee 1
Survival 1

Specializations Medic
Knowledge (Xenology) 1
Medicine 2

As a droid PC i start with 175XP do i get any extra from obligations or how does that work?

Okay sorry about that previous question on page 50 of the Force and Destiny book is a table where you can random roll for you Morality and that also goes for Obligation and Duty -- these things can be randomly rolled -- or chosen.

That said Morality is not split -- but you can have more than 1 set of Strengths/Weakness so it would look like this:

Morality : 50
..... Discipline / Obstinance
..... Compassion / Hatred

So these are the things you struggle with when certain situations come up

Discipline: Rigorous mental and physical discipline comes naturally to the character. They do not make choices rashly, and every action is precise and selected. Those who think they can goad the character into making foolish choices are sorely mistaken.

Obstinance: Disciplined characters may fall into the trap of simple stubbornness if they are not careful. An obstinate character often refuses to consider any course of action other than the one they choose, unwilling to accept that someone else may have conceived of a better option.

Compassion: The character cares about the tribulations others face, and wants to help those he comes across. His compassion may lead to self-sacrifice in order to aid those who need it.

Hatred: The galaxy can be a cruel and heartless place, and compassion can quickly turn to hatred of the individuals or situations that cause others to suffer. When a character’s mind roils with simmering hatred, that hatred may be all too slow to fade.

So you as a player should keep these in mind -- you are Discipline sometimes to the point of Obstinance and you are Compassionate and sometimes find yourself hating those that cause the suffering of others and I would take that maybe and bit further due to your background and say especially if its the suffering of a fellow droid.

Okay first no you do not get anything from the Obligation/Duty/Morality elements as I have consolidated them into a single section so under the Creation Parameters you have these 2 optoins

Next Starting Characters can choose one of the following options:
...Choose 4 of the following (cannot choose the same one twice)
.......+5 Starting XP
.......+1,000 Starting Credits
.......+5 Duty
.......-5 Obligation
.......+10 Morality
--OR--
...Choose 2 of the following (cannot choose the same one twice)
.......+10 Starting XP
.......+2,500 Starting Credits
.......+10 Duty
.......-10 Obligation
.......+21 Morality

So with they above you could have chosen to get +5 or +10 Starting XP -- this is different than Post Creation XP

Then you get the following Post Creation XP -- pay attention to the rules of what you can do pre-creation versus post-creation and perhaps how the XP is used both pre and post

Post Character Creation Experience: 150

I'll choose +10 starting XP and +2500 credits and the set of Strengths/Weakness' looks good i'll roll with that

cunning 2 20xp
intellect 2 20xp
brawn 2 20xp
agility 2 20xp
willpower 2 20xp

Ranged - Heavy 10xp
Coordination - 10xp
Negotiation - 10xp
Survival Rank 2 - 10xp (career skill)

Soldier Medic Tree
Forager - 5xp
Stimpack Spec - 5xp
Grit - 5xp
Surgeon - 5xp
bacta spec - 10xp

I end up with 170xp points spent and 15 for post character experience

Wound treshold 12
Strain treshold 12

Motivation: Connection to the empire. Once being in service to it and in fear of being decomissioned D3 joined the rebel alliance out of necessity

Do i have any restriction on gear? rarity and the such?

E5 blaster carbine 550 credits
Medical backpack 450 credits
Nomad greatcoat 100 credits
Banal Apparel 25 credits
Comlink 25 credits
Bacta x5 100 credits
false voice transmitter 1400

D3s chassis and head (not circuitry) has been replaced with an LE-Series maintenance droid. Painted with a coat of blue and white stripes at the sides. one of his shoulder pads still has an imperial insignia so if officers/stormtroopers suspect him of being an asset of the alliance he can just show them the marking and his serial number (which is not active in service of the empire anymore so when they realize that there will be trouble) People often mistake him for a maintenance droid when he's just a surgical one.

how does post char creation xp work?

i set up my char and submitted it.

Like if you had earned it within a game -- so you need it should follow your background story to some degree -- and/or if it looks out of sync I may ask for a reason for it -- but for the most part if you are following your concept and not trying to break the system it should not be an issue

Neat, then my character should be all done

Okay please provide the break-down that I requested in my second post -- otherwise I will have to spend the extra time doing that which will delay things especially if I have to do this for both new characters

Break-down of your second post? could you be more specific?

When outlining your character please post the following:

Step 1: Background (okay basically your story)

Step 2: Choose (or outline) the following :
.....Starting Duty : 5 (from Age of Rebellion)
.....Starting Obligation : 25 (from Edge of the Empire)
.....Starting Morality : 50 (from Force and Destiny)
..........Now the above 3 things have aspects that need to be rolled (and/or chosen but prefer if you rolled at least until you got something that fit the concept unless you really feel strongly about one of them) for each and these need to outlined in your Step 2 -- a Note here for Obligation you can assign the 25 to one Obligation or split it among more than one depending on what you feel your character should have

Also in this step if you check I have altered the choices as follows:
...Choose 4 of the following (cannot choose the same one twice)
--OR--
...Choose 2 of the following (cannot choose the same one twice)

So please explicitly list what you chose for this

Step 3: Select Species -- here just out line the crunch bits that are associated with your the Species you chose along with the Species :)

Step 4: Choosing a Career -- please outline what you did in this step

Step 5: Choosing Specializations -- please outline what you did in this step

Step 6: Invest Character Generation XP -- please outline what you did in this step

Step 7: Determine Derived Attributes (if you know how)

Step 8: Determine Motivations

Step 9: Character Generation Gear & Appearance

Step 10: Post-Character Creation XP Expenditures

Step 11: Post-Character Creation Gear

-------------- The ship thing I will be taking care of based on the number of active players

Basically something that lets me know what was chosen at each step and the breakdown (or breakout) where necessary such as when buying Gear you start with ?? Credits and you spent ?? Credits on this item and then etc... this way all I have to do is perhaps verify the costs are per the book and the math is correct -- otherwise I have to look each item up, determine the cost for each, then check the math so it streamlines some of what I have to do when validating a character is balanced against the other PCs

Keep in mind that other things also have breakdowns/breakouts such as Career Selection which comes with 4 free Rank 1s and such -- and of course spending Creation XP versus Post-Creation XP

Species: Droid. Starting XP: 175 + 10xp bonus and the 2500 starting credits which go to 3000 and 185 respectively.
