Star Wars Force and Destiny

It is a dark time in the galaxy.


The Rebel Alliance fights against the Galactic Empire, countless worlds tremble under the shadows of evil. The Jedi guardians of justice and order are gone.



But all is not lost. In a distant corner of the Galaxy, a small band of adventurers seeks to rediscover the legacy of the Jedi. If they are successful, hope can be restored to the galaxy once again...



Looking for 4 or 5 players.


Star Wars Force and Destiny is the latest series from the Fantasy Flight takes on the Star Wars universe. You essentially choose your specie, a career and specialize through trees and the likes.


The setting is during the dark times, we will begin with two adventures to get us started which will help you make your own lightsaber and begins your journey as a force sensitive user in the galaxy.


Making a character for the the Force and Destiny:


Step 1: think of the background of your character, there are no limits. Maybe you are a tech genius? From a primitive world? Maybe part of an ancient religion who thinks the force is just a natural ability or incredibly lucky?


Step 2: Determine your morality, Morality is not meant to spawn arguments of good vs evil, essentially you choose an emotional strength and weakness. Your emotional strength could be Bravery and your weakness could be Arrogance.


At this stage, you can also choose a particular option for your character:


a) +10 XP you can invest in characteristic or force powers etc...of your character.


b) +2500 starting credits, so you can buy more stuffs.


c) +5 starting xp and +1000 credits.


d) Increase or decrease your morality by 21, which can makes you start with a morality of 29 or 71, mostly affecting your morality threshold. Below 30, you are considered a dark side force user, even if you manage to get more than 30 morality, you will still be considered a dark side force user, you will need to go through redemption. There are some mechanical and narrative changes to it of course. At 70 and above, you are considered a light side paragon which comes with his benefits as well.


Step 3: Choose your specie, species from Age of Rebellion and Edge of Empire are available as well except the ones who can't access the force (droids.). As this game is focused on being force users. By default in force and destiny book those are the species:


-Cerean


-Human


-Kel Dor


-Mirialan


-Nautolan


-Togruta


-Twi'lek


-Zabrak


Step 4 and 5: Career and Specialization. Force and destiny has six careers to choose from.


If your first instinct is to fight: Warrior career. Seekers and Guardians are also skilled fighters. Seekers tend to be ranged combatants while Guardians rely on being tough and resilient.


If you like to negotiate: Mystics are very capable at that, followed by Guardians or Consulars.


If you prefer intellectual/academic pursuits: Consulars are the most likely to learn multiple fields of study, and sentinels can become adepts at it as well.


If you like to sneak around/infiltrate: Sentinels are great at it in urban areas, seekers are better at it in less civilized areas.


If you like to explore or discover stuffs: Seeker specializes in this but some Mystics learn some of these techniques.


If you like to be a team player: Guardians are master at teamwork, and Consulars pursue some of the same paths.


Should be noted while you won't start with a lightsaber, you can still specialize in it, as you can think of your career, as what you want to become as well and essentially your early choices will pay off.


Consular focuses on achieving peace and harmony with positive actions/influence. specializations: Healer, Niman disciple (focus on areas other than combat), Sage


Guardians focuses on protecting the helpless and those who can't protect themselves, usually with a strong sense of duty and responsibility. Specializations: Peacekeeper (fight tyranny), Protector(protect others), Soresu Defender (Self defense)


The Mystic have a strong connection with the force since their birth. They tend to master a wide variety of force powers. Specializations: Advisor, Makashi Duelist (Dominate combat with force of personality/presence), Seer.


The Seekers prefers to be flexible and have in general a pragmatic view of the force, seeing it as a tool in their arsenal. They explore the wild regions and ones far from civilization. Specializations: Ataru Striker (Go all in or die trying), Hunter, Pathfinder (Explorer, adventurer etc...)


The Sentinels are the spies and agents striking in the dark, some could have been police men, mechanics etc... They rely on quick thinking and cunning, using technologies, force and any other tools to achieve their goals. Specializations: Artisan, Shadow , Shien Expert (focuses on cunning and striking the opponent where they least expect the blow.)


The Warriors are combatants who uses the force to increase their martial prowess. Specializations: Aggressor(intimidate and uses fear as a weapon while delivering and taking brutal punishment), Shii-cho knight (focuses on saber fighting, no fancy maneuvers or dancing), Starfighter Ace.


Step 6: Spending your starting experience (will discuss it later)


Step 7: Determine derived attributes. (Same as step 6)


Step 8: Determine Motivation, essentially what pushes you to do anything.


-Do you have an ambition? Like becoming a jedi? Seeking Power? Wealth? Revenge?


or A specific cause? Restore the Jedi? Overthrow the Empire? Stop the Rebellion? Galactic Peace?


or are you motivated by faith? the jedi code? Science and reason? no faith?


Step 9: choose gear and appearance


Step 10: Determine group resource (worry about that later)
 
This sounds interesting... I have been wanting to play a character who feels torn between the Mandalorian and Jedi traditions.
 
This sounds interesting, but I'm virtually guaranteed to end up falling to the dark side any time I play a Force user in anything. How problematic is that? I assume the representation is slightly more nuanced than, 'Periodically roll willpower to resist slaughtering babies and bathing in their blood'.
 
Not really problematic, well from my point of view but depend on your group of course. Basically what happens when you go "dark side":


-you generate force points using dark side force points only. To use light side points, you would need to spend destiny points. (Which when you play, you will see its pros and cons.)


-It changes the destiny pool of the group.


-your strain threshold decrease but your wound threshold increase. Mechanically you end up more likely to succumb to the other stuffs Wound is your physical threshold and injuries, strain is everything else, which means fear, anxiety etc...everything else.


Should be noted in this game, the temptation for easy power and dark side abilities is of course always easy. A jedi can still use dark force points or light side points at any time, it is usually easier to use dark side points.


By default you start at Morality 50, so it takes awhile and significant events to go dark side to say the least. Of course unless you start with the morality of 29 option, you wouldn't have to worry about the dark side rules for awhile.
 
This sounds fun. Got room for me?


Is it possible for me to play as a sith who embraces the dark side but is still technically a good guy (force choking slave traders and force lightning criminals) or should I just be a gray jedi?

gray jedi to start with at least, remember this is during the dark times. Darth Vader and The Emperor are technically the only Sith right now, Coruscant hasn't been destroyed yet. Of course, there will be ways to explore more of that later or explore ancient Sith ruins etc... Being force sensitive can mean many things, some consider magic, other consider it luck etc...
 
Ok, I'm game. I assume this is still in planning phase so I'll wait for the actual RP to go up?

Virtue: Humility


Sin: Greed


Chaotic Neutral

Step 3: Choose your specie, species from Age of Rebellion and Edge of Empire are available as well except the ones who can't access the force (droids.). As this game is focused on being force users. By default in force and destiny book those are the species:
