Steve Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueCloud2k2 Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 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: http://www.sysabend.org/champions/campaigns/StarHeroWars/CharacterGeneration.htm (scroll down for races) RacesThe 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.

Steve Posted November 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueCloud2k2 Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted November 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Marcus Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueCloud2k2 Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Maybe use the Bestiary Rules for hit locations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
