Star Wars D20 Revised Session 1

Alright.  I know we have been playing AD&D for awhile and that game is still going strong.  All that is happening is that instead of every Tuesday it will be every other Tuesday and it will alternate with our new Star Wars D20 Revised game.  Jayson will be the Game Master for the Star Wars game and I will be the Dungeon Master for the AD&D game.  So, without giving a long introduction of everything, I will get to what actually happened in our first meeting for Star Wars.

October 11th, 2011

Step One: Character Creation

I have never played this edition, so I thought it best to wait for Jayson to show up in order to actually start, plus I didn't know which D20 Star Wars we were using, Core or Revised.  When he showed up, that was the first thing I asked him.  He said that we were using revised, but that the Core book had some interesting Prestige classes and that he would allow them.  I'm like cool, but I literally just got both books that day.  I asked him what I needed to do.   He said that I should roll 4d6, choose the highest three, re-roll 1s and 2s, and choose the best set of 6 out of the 3 sets.

Set 1          Set 2          Set 3
 10               14              17
 16               13              16
 14               17              15
 15               13              14
 13               16              12
 14               14              13

I chose set 3.  We could use the stats in any order.  I chose a Gungan for a race/species and they receive a +2 Con and a -2 Wis modifier.  So then my Gungan Jedi Guardian was selected.  I knew I wanted a Jedi, but I didn't know which one.  I selected the Guardian because of the +1 Base Attack Bonus (BAB) at first level.  So then my Gungan's stats looked like this:

Str:    17
Dex:  16
Con:  17
Int:    14
Wis:  11
Cha:  12

At this point, I didn't realise that all the force powers he could choose from were mostly Cha or Wis related.  Some were Con though.  I selected the Alter for the force training and selected Control for my first level feat.  Mostly so I can heal others and heal myself.  Better than medpacs anyways.

Being a Jedi Guardian I start with a lightsaber.  I also have proficiency with the groups Blaster Pistols and Simple Weapons.  I also chose to have a light blaster pistol, knife and quarterstaff.  I also received a utility belt and a comlink from my Master.  I also purchased a all-temperature cloak and a grappling spike launcher.

Step Two:  Backstory

My master found me on Naboo when I was young.  He trained me for years.  It was odd for me since my master is human.  He was in hiding since Jedi were being hunted, but since we both felt the disturbance in the force when the Emperor and Darth Vader both were eliminated, we traveled to Coruscant afterwords.  After we arrived, we headed straight for the Jedi Temple.

Step Three:  Introduction

Ever since I arrived on this planet all I've done is clean.  I was given a broom and a dustpan.  I cleaned the Jedi Temple til I couldn't clean anymore and then I cleaned it again.  Perseverance might be the lesson, but I am bored.  I want to go and explore, find things and tinker, maybe build a droid or fix a computer.  I need to learn to repair things though.

So I set out to explore, went up to see if my master was still in the council chamber discussing things.  I was stopped by a Wookie and a Cerean who said I couldn't go any farther up.  So I went down, saw that all doors leading pass the garage level were all security locked up.  Went up, trying to go outside, remembered that I shouldn't go outside alone, but in a group.  Stopped in main lobby and saw an Ewok, a Kel Dor and a Mon Calamari.  Asked the Mon Calamari if he wanted to go explore outside.  He said he had been waiting for someone to ask him.  On our way to the outside door, I heard the Ewok trying to sneak behind us and I waved him to join us.  When we arrived outside the temple, we had two directions to choose from.  Left or Right.  We went left and found ourselves in the diplomatic part of the city.  We stopped at a signpost and were trying to figure out where to go when a mysterious figure said go to your third left.  So we went to our third left and found ourselves outside the Galleria.  A pseudo-arcade shopping mall which went ten stories up and down from the entrance level and was quite huge (think Mall of America on each floor big).  The Ewok started talking, but I didn't understand him, but the Mon Calamari seemed to and I asked him what the Ewok had said.  He said that the Ewok had told him that Master Luke had gone to the Senate Building.  So that mysterious black-cloaked figure that I had seen around and masters bowing to was none other than Master Luke Skywalker.  How interesting I thought to myself.   While in the Galleria, I noticed a female Gungan and three child Gungan that called her Grandma, she was only a little older than my mother since the kids looked about 4, 5, and 6 respectively.  We met them in the water park that charged ten credits for the day.  I left and started looking in the Droid store.  After about 25 minutes, I received a hail on my comlink that said to get back to the temple soon.

When we arrived back at the temple, I saw a human woman talking with some Jedi and some other people who had arrived off of a transport.  When we walked inside, she told us that we would be leaving tomorrow and that we should prepare.  I asked her if we were to prepare for battle or for departure.  All she said was yes.  I asked if I would get to see my master before leaving.  She said that is where I should be headed now.  I went to my room, since that is the only place I knew and found a note saying that I should come below to the lightsaber training room.  The training rooms were above the Jedi library and below the Jedi housing.  The garage was below the Jedi library.  I reported to the training room and my master exhausted my so much that I couldn't move.  He floated me to my room and laid me on my bed.  The last thing he said to me was that the next mission should help me with my training.  And I slept.

This is where we called the night.  My character didn't meet Luis's character.  He has a Trandoshan Scout, but that is all I know.  His character arrived on the transport my character saw when he arrived back from the Galleria.  That is all I know.  Until next time, which will be this game, have fun and safe gaming.
