	Not exactly. 1d--inept 2d--average person on the street with no training 3d--slightly better than average 4d--skilled individual--can make a modest living 5d--highly skilled individual--can make a good living 6d--best on the continent--moderately famous 7d--best in the planet--olympic famous 8d--best in the star system--people from other systems may have heard of this person 9d--one of the best in the galaxy. A grand master. Yoda, Vader, and the Emperor have 11 to 12d in their Force powers. Bear in mind that most people in the galaxy (99.9999%) have only 2d in all stats, 4d in one skill, and 3d in 2 others. The PCs are exceptional in that they have 18d in stats, and 7d added to individual skills when they start (at 1st level, if you will). Raising a skill from 3d to 4d is easy. Raising a skill from 6d to 7d is much harder. I've never had a player or character raise a stat to 8d. -----signature----- Does giving Prozac to a Psychic make a HappyMedium?

	Notes: From the description presented, I envisioned a techie guy who wasn’t so good at the hands-on mechanical side of things. From there, I developed a back story as to why he went out on his adventuring career. I used the format presented in Ultimate Adversaries where possible. I tend to list all skills, regardless of rank (skills unable to be used untrained have a value of N/A). I like it better that way in my own games. At 4th level, Krif added +1 to CHA to reflect the fact that he gained more experience in the corporate world. Sorry for the length, kinda got into it Krif L’Gril Adaptive Designs, Inc. (AD) has been run and maintained by the L’Gril family for generations. The company specializes in designing and maintaining custom equipment for every conceivable legal purpose, such as mining equipment, specialized translator droids, and exotic environment habitats. Krif and his sister, Naru, were born and educated on Clak’Dor VII. As soon as they came of age they joined the family business with AD. Krif specialized in creating designs for equipment and Naru did the actual construction. The two made an amazing team and profits soared. Until, one fateful day, Naru took an assignment to repair a customized hyperdrive that AD built on the ship Lame Moon. Weeks passed without her return. Weeks later, the HoloNet reported that the Lame Moon was reporting engaging in acts of piracy. AD had unknowingly given powerful technology to criminals. Krif immediately left Clak’Dor to set out and find out what happened to his sister. Goals Krif’s ultimate goal is to find out what happened to his sister, and rescue her if possible. In the meantime, he wants to develop his design skills so he can take over the family business when he returns. Tactics Krif is inexperienced and a stranger to combat. Although not a coward, he feels like he has little to contribute. To make up for this, he tries to build and customize things like sonic grenades and self-propelled vibro daggers. He fully expects these inventions to turn the tide of a battle, and when they don’t, he will literaly sit down and check his notes to look for the problem. Affiliations The rest of Krif’s family owns and runs Adaptive Designs, which is headquarted in a small space station above Clak’Dor VII. Roleplaying Tips Most problems can be solved by technology and imagination. If something doesn’t work, it can be fixed. Concentrate only on what you are doing. Era Notes Krif works as written during any era.

	Thanks Shadowen. My dog already stole my cookie! A Star Wars Superhero “Look, up there!” “Is it a hawk-bat?” “Is it an airspeeder?” “No, it’s Champion!!!! The vigilante known as Champion started appearing on the streets of Coruscant about five years ago. When innocents are threatened by back-alley muggings or skyscraper falls, the masked vestige of Champion often miraculously swoops in the save the day. Numerous police agencies have tried to contain him, but at the end of a crisis, he disappears into the mazes of buildings. His creed, “Fear not citizens, your Champion is here!” Winner gets an uncooked burrito. I'll put a deadline up at some later time.

	Champion: orbital mirror operary by day, masked vigilante by night "Champion is everywhere! I've heard he defeated six Nikto thugs all alone! Mommy, I want to be like him!" The Republic is down. The Empire is in power. But, can they keep the peace in the undergrounds of Coruscant? To Kay Smik the answer is clear: no. The youngest of the Smik sibilings, Kay always adored his sister Tenny and wanted to make her proud. She was rarely planetside, because her job as a diplomat always had her traveling here and there. But now she's finally back home, and Kay won't let anyone put his adorable sister in danger. "Someone has to uphold the old ideals... Someone with a blaster..." Something inside Kay's head made click. He had never been completely sane, but the night he decided to take the identity of Champion, the masked vigilante, everything changed. He decided to become Coruscan't Jedi and he's surprisingly good at it (ar so he thinks). Children love him, the Empire is not sure what to think and he feels proud of keeping the streets safe. And he's everywhere. Sometimes he doesn't even remember half the heroic feats attributed to him... "The Fight for the Pinpik Skyhook? Oh, uh, sure, it was me all along..." Kay "Champion" Smik: Adult Male Human, Expert 2/Scoundrel 1; Init +1 (+1 Dex); Def 11 (+1 Dex, +0 Class); Spd 10m; VP/WP 5/10; Atk +1 melee (-, stun baton), +1 melee (1d3, punch), +2 or -2/-2 ranged (3d8, crit 19-20, ascension gun); SQ Expert class skills (Astrogate, Computer Use, Craft, Disable Device, Knowledge, Pilot, Profession, Repair), Illicit barter; SV Fort +0, Ref +3, Will +2; SZ M; FP: 0; Rep: +8; Str 10, Dex 12, Con 10, Int 10, Wis 9, Cha 14. Equipment: Ascension gun, stun baton, breath mask, Goth robes, landspeeder ("Champmobile"), utility belt. Skills: Astrogate +1, Balance +4, Computer Use +7, Craft (weird gadgets) +5, Disable Device +5, Disguise +7, Knowledge (Coruscant) +5, Move Silently +4, Pilot +6, Profession (Orbital Mirror Operary) +3, Read/Write Basic, Repair +7, Speak Basic Feats: Gearhead, Sharp-eyed, Skill Emphasis (Climb, Tumble), Stealthy, Weapons Group Proficiency (blaster pistols, simple weapons) "Hey, sis, heard about what Champion did last night? Ha! Makes you wonder who is hiding behind that mask, uh?" "Uh, yeah, sure it does, Kay..." Tendra Smik had lied to everyone. Her family believed her to be a diplomat, part of the diplomatic corps. Her job had been very different. She had worked as a mercenary, a job she did reasonabily well. Now, after the fall of the Republic, she's back home. that last botched work at Subterrel had left her with a sour taste of mouth. She only wanted to relax and to look after her slightly crazy brother Kay. When she found out Kay had become a masked vigilante she realized the rest had come to an end. "By the minions of Xendor... What's he thinkin' he's doin'?" Adopting a suit similar to her brother's, Tendra has become his shadow, helping him every night and trying to save him from getting killed. "Raise your hands, scum. Yeah, I'm Champion, the masked vigilante blah blah blah... That unconscious guy? Uh, he's my... sidekick, yeah... Champiboy..." Tendra "Champion" Smik: Adult Female Human, Soldier 5/Scoundrel 3; Init +7 (+3 Dex, +4 Bonus); Def 19 (+3 Dex, +6 Class); Spd 10m; VP/WP 56/10; Atk +10/+5 or +6/+6/+1 ranged (3d8, crit 19-20, ascension gun], +9/+4 melee (-, stun baton), +9/+4 melee (1d4+2, crit 20, martial arts); SQ Illicit barter, Lucky (1/day), Precise Attack +1; SV Fort +5, Ref +7, Will +2; SZ M; FP: 0; Rep: +10; Str 14, Dex 17, Con 10, Int 14, Wis 10, Cha 15.
