Subject: Re: [HOE] d20, guns and Star
Wars
Hey there Theo,
I do indeed have and play the star wars D20. I will try to be kind about
it but there are several things that I do not like about it and If I where the
game master would change.
1. Light sabers do crap damage, though they do go up in damage as a jedi
goes up in level, but only if you are one of 3 jedi classes.
2. They felt a need to have 3 jedi classes.
3. Jedi at first level do not get exotic weapon Lightsaber and suffer a
-4 to hit with it. Like being a 1st level character isn't hard enough. They do
get the prof. later on.
4. The Solider class (Fighters) spreads out armor prof. per level. Storm
trooper armor (power armor) you get for free at 3rd level.
5. That being know, you would think stormtroopers are 3rd level soliders
at least. But no, they are the thug npc class with less hit points and
generally not as tough. Thugs can't use power armor so the stormtroopers that
live in that armor are penalized for it.
6. Very poor space combat ship rules. Though they tried to address it in
later supplement.
On the upside.........
1. Its star wars!
2. Its star wars!!
3. Jedi's with lightsabers! Just don't stand near a 1st level padawan,
with that penalty you are as likely to be hit, lol.
4. X-wings, ties fighters and death stars.....oh my.
