Star Wars alien species?

Steve · November 4, 2014

Are there any character write-ups or conversions for the various races in the Star Wars galaxy? I'm looking for racial ability packages, if any are available.

I'd say find the Starwars d20 rule books, and apply Killer Shrike's methodology for converting d20 stuff to HERO.

That said, I put Google to work and came up with the following:

Races

The packages below are a combined Racial and Cultural packages. They describe the "average" of the species.

To find the Species average stats first assume that for any characteristic not listed the average is assumed to be 10. For characteristics that are listed with a changed Maxima (whether increased, or decreased) subtract 10 to find the "average" stat. Apply all powers and skills listed in the package to complete the "average" of that species.

You wouldn't happen to have those already set up in HeroDesigner prefab format(s) would you? <insert hopeful look here> :bounce:

Sorry, they ain't mine. Got them from one of posted links.

I picked up copies of the Star Wars aliens books for source material, and I'm currently working up some writeups from them.

Twi'leks are interesting, and they remind me quite a bit like they are the Star Wars galaxy's answer to Star Trek's Ferengi.

BlueCloud2k2 · November 9, 2014

Which is funny, considering in the EU stuff they also have a warrior sect similar to the Klingons.

They are Klingons and Ferengi... scary combo.

L. Marcus · November 9, 2014

Klinengi?

Steve · November 9, 2014

Although I didnt see it mentioned in the d20 sourcebooks, I've seen websites that say the head-tails are sensitive to pain. That led me to wonder if Twi'lek's have a Vulnerability to getting hit in location 4, maybe also 5, but only if hit from behind.

Has there ever been discussion on hit locations as they might apply to attacks from behind?

L. Marcus · November 9, 2014

I want to remember something about folded wings and hit locations in some 5th Ed book or other, so it's probably kosher.

BlueCloud2k2 · November 10, 2014

Maybe use the Bestiary Rules for hit locations?
