info on the old republic (KotOR,TotJ, & other legit sources)

hey all...


well... i think we all need to come together and share ideas on the old republic time period. the sourcebooks are really thin on this... so lets see what ideas evreryone has.

the old Tales of the Jedi book from WEG is great.. and all the new stuff is a wonderful add on.

but lets get some clear ideas on was in kotor
lets put ome ideas out there and all work together on coming up with something legit and reasonable

first lets get a list of characters and aliens we need info on.. i personally do not remember all the names of the supporting characters.. anyone who does .. please post them

then we can all start coming up with reasonable stats.. but lets keep in mind this is all for fun .. and not mean spirited arguments....plus any thoughts on ANYTHING during the period of the old republic are welcomed..

lets hope evryone has a good time with this thread and get to it

i will be participating as much as people put into it

thanks

 

I assume you're specifically talking about the time period of KOTOR and TOTJ around 4000-5000 years before ANH.

I'll start with a list of some non-RPG source material:

COMICS:

TOTJ: Golden Age of the Sith
TOTJ: Fall of the Sith Empire
Tales of the Jedi: Knights of the Republic
TOTJ: Dark Lords of the Sith
TOTJ: The Freedon Nadd Uprising
TOTJ: The Sith War
TOTJ: Redemption
Jedi vs. Sith
some stories in Star Wars Tales

VIDEO GAMES:

Knights of the Old Republic

 

right on DarthKevin...
good start

 

Here are some random characters from that time period and very bried descriptions:

Exar Kun: former Jedi Knight turned Sith Lord, former apprentice of Master Vodo-Siosk Baas.

Nomi Sunrider: Jedi Knight, Master of Jedi Battle Meditation.

Ulic Qel-Droma, former Jedi Knight, apprentice of Master Arca of Arkania,Hero of Battle of Onderon, former Sith Lord

Cay Qel-Droma: Jedi brother of Ulic Qel-Droma slain by his brother on Ossus during the Exar Kun war.

Qrrl Toq: maker of Jedi Armor, Nazaar prince, killed while pursuing Naga Sadows ship by Cron cluster supernova created by Aleema to destroy Ossus.

Vodo Siosk-Baas: Jedi Master, trainer of Exar Kun. Slain by Kun in dramatic lightsaber duel in Senate Rotunda on Coruscant.

Freedon Nadd: the apprentice of one of the original Jedi to leave the Order to study the dark side of the Force. Ruled the planet Onderon approximatly 4,400 years before Episode 1.

Shoaneb Culu: blind Jedi apprenticed to Master Arca. Killed in supernova while pursuing Naga Sadows ancient Sith battleship

 

anyone out there have any thoughts on stats for Revan and Malak??? ...

or Bastilla.. or any other characters in KotOR??

 

Supposedly in the introduction the Clone Wars game (I don't have it so I can't verify it), Ulic Quel-Droma is stated to have defeated the Dark Reaper during the time of the Sith War.

 

Which Sith War? The one with Exar Kun or the one with Revan and Malak?

I believe that perhaps the one with Exar Kun is called the Great Sith War and the one with Revan and Malak is just the Sith War. Any comments?

Anyways, did Ulic defeat the reaper during the Great Sith War? Or after. Cause I know he dies around I think 10 years after the war(stupid idiot of a pilot!).

 

Ulic was a major participant in the Sith War brought about by Exar Kun. This should answer your question.

 

As I said, I don't have the game, so I can't give more detail. Maybe one of the timelines has already dated the event and explained it in more detail.

 

I dont remember anything about a Sith Reaper in the Sith War comics. He would have had to destroy it after Exar Kun was defeated.

 

ok.. i found these on the WotC community board..
special thanx to Cavgunner11 for all the work.

Nice, but I'm hoping for WotC to make the Jedi Sentinel a new prestige. Or better yet, a new starting class. Thus, we have the choice of three Jedi starting classes - Jedi Guardian, Jedi Sentinel, and Jedi Consular.

 

IMHO jedi sentinel is little more than adding the jedi investigator prestige class

as a break down of already exisitng character classes its kinda like a scoundrel jedi..

however the sentinel would unbalance the jedi a little much for my tastes.... plenty of people already feel that jedi classes are too pwerful.. that would just add fuel to the fire... anyhoo... there is no need when you can accomplish all the sentinel stuff with already exisitng prestige classes

Supposedly in the introduction the Clone Wars game (I don't have it so I can't verify it), Ulic Quel-Droma is stated to have defeated the Dark Reaper during the time of the Sith War.[/b][hr][/blockquote]Yeah, this was shown in "flashback" form during one of the briefing cutscenes in the game -- you see a pretty damned good rendition of the "early" Ulic and the other Jedi from that era attacking the Dark Reaper weapon. (Ulic's spirit looks pretty crudded-up and "drained" when Anakin Skywalker meets up with him later on Rhen Var, though.)

It's something that takes place "off-camera" during the main comic stories, but I'm glad that there are many other potential tales that could be told during the Sith War that weren't necessarily covered during the primary story issues.

Personally, I'd be thrilled to see more done with the later KOTOR era, not to mention perhaps even learning what role Vima Sunrider played during it...it's a great game, and this time period deserves some major league expansion in other sources and venues.

 

There's also a TOTJ era RPG adventure in an issue of Star Wars Galaxy magazine. I'll look for it some time later and give more details.

 

If you don't have it already, get Jedi Academy for your PC. The enemies are part of the Cult of Ragnos. As in Marka Ragnos, who appeared in GAOTS and DLOS. He even makes an appearance in the game. Also, the last two levels take place on the Sith mausoleum/burial world of Korriban.

 

Well, thanks for ruining the game for me!

 

ahhhhh..

the vacation world of korriban

 

heres a list of some crystals form KotOR

a. BONDAR
Upgrade(s): On Hit - Stun 25% for 6 seconds
Save - DC10 to negate stun

Description: This crystal was mined on a far orbit asteroid circling the Alderaan system. It produces a volatile lightsaber beam that pulses on impact, potentially stunning an opponent.

b. RUBAT
Upgrade(s): Damage +1

Location(s): given after slaying Krayt Dragon (Tatooine), Komad Fortuna's remains (Tatooine)

h. JENRUAX
Upgrade(s): Damage +2
Blaster Deflection +5

Ask... and ye shall recieve...

Darth Malak: Male Human Jedi Guardian 11/Sith Lord 9: Init +2 (+2 Dex); Defense 26 (+2 Dex, +14 class); Spd 10 m; VP/WP 158/16; Atk +23/+18/+13/+8 melee (4d8 +5, lightsaber) or +24/+19/+14/+9 melee (2d6 +9, crit 19-20, ancient mastercraft Sith sword), +20/+15/+10/+5 ranged; SQ Block, DR 5, enhanced Force powers, deflect (defense +2, attack -3), exceptional minions, Jedi Knight, resource access; SV Fort +16, Ref +15, Will +14; SZ M; FP 11; DSP 30; Rep +5; Str 20, Dex 14, Con 16, Int 13, Wis 17, Cha 20. Challenge Code H.

Equipment: Lightsaber, ancient mastercraft Sith sword (attack +1, damage +4), vast resources of mysterious origin.

Skills: Balance +7, Intimidate +19, Knowledge (Sith lore) +14, Pilot +11, Read/Write Basic, Read/Write Sith*, Speak Basic, Speak Sith*.

Force Skills: Affect Mind +9, Control Mind +14, Battlemind +17, Enhance Ability +15, Fear +20, Force Defense +15, Force Grip +18, Force Lightning +24, Force Strike +11, Move Object +15, Telepathy +13.

Feats: Combat Reflexes, Exotic Weapon Proficiency (lightsaber), Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Sith sword)*, Force-Sensitive, Power Attack, Skill Emphasis (Knowledge [Sith Lore]), Weapon Group Proficiency (blaster pistols, simple weapons).

Force Feats: Alter, Burst of Speed, Control, Drain Force*, Force Mind, Force Whirlwind, Hatred*, Knight Defense, Lightsaber Defense, Malevolent, Master Defense, Mettle, Rage*, Sense, Sith Sorcery*, Sith Sword Defense*.

Special Qualities: Damage Reduction 5 -- Darth Malak ignores the first five points of any kind of damage. Whether this is due to hidden armor linked to his voice mask or the physical result of Sith alchemy is anyone's guess.

Enhanced Force Powers -- Using a mysterious power source as yet undiscovered (complete Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic to learn more), Darth Malak possesses extraordinary dark side Force powers out of proportion, in game terms, with his class and level. He gained three additional Force feats and 24 bonus skill points exclusively for dark side skills. In any battle, the first Force point Darth Malak spends on a dark side-related roll does not subtract from his total.

 

Another 20-level-Sith-Lord. Yeah.

ATTN Wizards of the Coast:
Add 127 pages to the Darth Malak article and write an Old Republic Era Sourcebook. Thanks.

 

Anyone got anthing on Mandalorians? (besides Boba and Jango, of course)
