Updated Anakin Solo

I need stats for Anakin Solo at the time of his death in Star by Star.

I'm thinking he should be a level 8-9 Jedi Guardian at this point.
Does anybody have any ideas?

Force Feats: Alter, Burst of Speed, Dissipate Energy, Control, Mettle, Sense.


Let's take it here...

 

I think he should have the Martial Arts feat, also i saw a rule somewhere, god knows where now, I think its in the UAA or one of the wotc web publishes, concerning the vong sense. There's a minus to sense rolls can't remember what else ( I'll look it up soon) which I would work in for Anakin since he harvested the lambent and imbued it for use in his lightsaber. I'd possibly give him a level in Jedi Weapon Master too...

 

That would be great. You're always around to help Jedi_Matt. Thats really cool.

 

aww shucks , I normally just suggest stuff rather than actually do things, and I don't tend to make much sense when I do say things so thanks .

Typical Vong have a -10 mod to most sense and alter force skills, and in ultimate adversaries, shaped creatures have a -8 mod to the same things. Unfortunately that doesn't really cover what I hoped it would do, it's been a while since I looked at it all. For Anakin I'd probably reduce the Sense penalty only, by a max of 4. If it states in one of the novels about him finding it easier to push the vong (i can't remember if it does or not, though it'd have to be in one of the edge of victory books, or SBS), then I'd obviously do the same with the other skills.

Jacen would get a bigger enhancement, IMO because of the fact that the thing vergere stuck inside of him went through and into every single nerve ending, every little gap.

The reason behind Martial Arts was the fact that using an unarmed attack doesnt provoke attacks of opportunity, I don't think that after all the training he'd done, especially the stuff in EoV 2 where he wasn't using the Force, that he'd be so susceptible to that. I think that also may represent the point on which he took the path towards weapon master. I think that without a shadow of a doubt his character took a much stronger leaning towards combat expertise (not the feat), than anything else. The rescue of Tahiri is what began forging him into a weapon.

Sorry I wasn't as useful as I first hoped I would be, but hopefully the other stuff might help,


edit:-

I'm also starting to think about the vong sense... Jacen's was a physical thing, whereas Anakin's was created through his connection to the Force and his lightsaber, and combining it with the lambent (and therefore the vong).

This could be why Jacen has to 'switch off' the Force before using it, and why Anakin didn't. Thing is this would mean they're almost unrelated issues, and would need individual explanations to their effects (instead of being, for example, cybernetic limbs and the effects they have on your force point expenditure which is a cumulative thing)

<yoda voice> meditate on this, i must </yoda voice>

 

You've definately been helpful.
I think the Martial Arts feat is perfect.
What about level? 9 like Jacen or only 8?

I think Weapon Master could possibly work.
If he is a level 8 then: JG 7/WM 1
If he is a level 9 then: JG 7/WM 2

He will need 2 more ranks in battlemind and 6 ranks in Tumble as well as the Combat Expertise and Weapon Focus feats just to qualify.

 

ouch... would JG 8/WM 1 work any better? I think he should be the same level as Jacen, at the point of SBS they'd both been as busy as each other, but Anakin had the edge due to what he did in Conquest and Jacen sat on his hands a bit.

It may be that had he not died, WM could have been the route his character then took. It'd just be a question of meeting feat requirements then, as tumble is a class skill it wouldn't take too long to get up 6 ranks.

Not to completely defeat the object of this, but I read that WotC just built the characters to how they thought they should be, not using the levelling up rules. Just wondering if this is true?

If so... is it unfeasible to suggest a similar thing with the skywalker lineage without obviously going overboard?

anyway... bit of a challenge this one.

 

I can live with Jedi Guadian 8/Jedi Weapon Master 1
I agree that he should level 9 like Jacen.

I will see what I can do with him and post something abit later that you can look at. Cool?

EDIT:

One thing, though. The stats for him in the OCRB had him at age 15... Since the adult age for a human starts at 16, shouldn't his Strenght, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma all go up by +1 as the Age modifiers state?

 

haha yeah good point, forgot about that

man what a machine this guy is, don't think there are many 16 year olds as tough as him lol. We need Epic level stuff

There is no way on earth that he wouldn't have been epic level had he survived (when he reached 40 or 50 i guess).

 

Here is my updated Anakin. What do you think?

No skill ranks in Knowledge - Yuuzhan Vong ?

 

No skill ranks in Knowledge - Yuuzhan Vong ?


Hmm... no not really. He already has +3 modifier from his knowledge. Luke has Jedi lore +4, so I think that +3 is enough.
Besides neither Jaina og Jacen has that skill.

Feel free to make changes however

 

Great stats Kazur, sorry i'm not giving much input here, its late as HELL here, after 1 am, so i need to sleep as i've work at 9 tomorrow. Great work! how about some assistance with Jacen's stats?

 

Thanks alot Jedi_Matt... It's actually late here too. over 2 am.
But, sure I'll get on the Jacen stats first thing tomorrow. The stuff you suggested for him sounds about right to me.

Well anyway, glad you like the stats. Feel free to use 'em anytime
