Merchants & Vong NPC Collections

[Guardian_A]

Since both of these are fairly small collections and I'm working on both of them at the moment, I figured I would just start one thread to cover both.

Take a look at my current to-do lists and let me know if I've missed anything! Items with a * have baseline stats complete.

Merchants:

What of the shamed ones for the vong?

I'll add those to the list right now!

With the Merchant Specialists, I am hoping to create a single template to cover most any kind of non-standard merchant a person may need in their games. Whether it be a Weapons dealer, a sporting goods dealer, a local herbalist, or any of a thousand other special merchant. When I put together the pdf, I would like to include a list of examples for this.

Here is what I currently have:
Antiques, Clothing, Corporate, Datapads, Security Systems, Sporting goods, Weapons.

Does anyone have any ideas? I'm not looking for an all-inclusive list, but a wider range of examples would be nice.

[S-Foil]

I might suggest that "hover car salesman" might be generalized into "shady merchant". A black market merchant may be non-shady, just dealing with black market goods. A shady merchant might be grey or white market but like a car salesman not have scruples. They might have a high Con or Pursuasion skill that they use in lieu of Bargain.

You might also swap "Jawa trader" for "scavenger merchant". They'd have some technical and mechanical skills in addition to their Bargain and Pursuasion skills. A Jawa trader would be an example of a scavenger merchant.

I've got the baseline together for the merchants on my list. Let me know if you see anything I missed! And feel free to make suggestions for additional merchant types I could add. If you post it, and I like it, I'll add it to the list!

Name: Voxyn
Dexterity 3D+1
dodge 6D, spit acid 7D
Perception 3D+1
hide 6D, search 6D, sneak 6D
Strength 3D+2
Sense 3D
Force Powers: Life Detection, Sense Force, Sense Force Potential.
Special Abilities:
Acid Spittle: Voxyn can spit acid with a range of 1-2/4/6. This attack can be dodged just like any other ranged attack. Voxyn acid inflicts 3D+2 damage each round for 1D+2 rounds, and will damage any armor or equipment it comes into contact with (see SWD6, pages 94-95). During a round that a voxyn spits, it can make no other attacks.
Bite: Does Strength +1D damage.
Claws: Do Strength +2 damage, plus disease (see below).
Disease: The claws of a voxyn are rife with harmful bacteria. If a target takes damage from a voxyn's claws, it must also succeed in a Difficult Strength check. Failure means that the wounds are infected, which results in a loss of 1 pip from its Strength rating. After 24 hours, the victim must make another Strength check, with failure resulting in a loss of another 2 pips from Strength. This loss can be healed with proper medical attention.
Force Immunity: Voxyn are immune to all Force powers that involve Sense or Alter.
Force-Sensitive: This creature is Force-sensitive.
Low-light Vision: A voxyn can see twice as far as a normal human in poor lighting conditions.
Nutrient Dependency: Voxyn must ingest a nutrient compound from the planet Myrkr in order to survive. Without this nutrient, their Strength score is halved after a month, and quartered after two months. After three months without the nutrient, a voxyn will die.
Poison Tail: Anyone struck by a voxyn's tail takes the creature's Strength +1 in damage, and must make a Difficult Strength check. Failure indicates that the target is completely paralyzed for 2D minutes. The poison also causes swelling and redness in most creatures, and this lasts 1D days.
Regeneration: Voxyn heal twice as fast as other creatures.
Sonic Screech: A voxyn can let loose with a compressed-wave screech. All living beings with 10 meters of the screeching voxyn must make a Difficult Strength check or be deafened for 1D+2 days. Voxyn will typically use this attack prior to its initial attack in order to disorient and confuse its opponents. A screeching voxyn can make no other attacks.
Toxic Blood: Any air-breathing creature within 2 meters of a voxyn that has been wounded (or worse) must succeed in a Difficult Strength roll, or suffer 5D of poison damage.

Name: Yammosk
Dexterity 1D
dodge 3D+2
Knowledge 3D+2
alien species 8D, alien species: Yuuzhan Vong 10D+1, intimidation 9D+2, scholar: physical sciences 6D+2, willpower 10D+1, survival 6D+2
Mechanical 2D
astrogation 5D+1
Perception 4D+2
con 7D+1, persuasion 8D+1, search 8D
Strength 11D (starfighter-scale: 5D)
Technical 4D+2
Special Abilities:
Atmosphere Generation: The lung capacity of a yammosk allows it to hold enough air to support thousands of oxygen-breathing creatures for several hours. A yammosk can produce a large, transparent bubble of oxygen, but can only do so once every 24 hours.
Bite: The bite of a yammosk inflicts its Strength +1D+2 damage (6D+2 starfighter-scale).
Crew Skill Bonus: A yammosk can assist the crews of all of its assigned Yuuzhan Vong capital ships within 10,000 kilometers. This results in a +2D bonus to all rolls by these crews that involve Astrogation, Gunnery, Piloting, and Sensors skills. This bonus does not affect non-capital-scale Yuuzhan Vong ships, nor do multiple yammosks provide additional bonuses. If the link between the yammosk and its fleet is somehow severed, this bonus is lost. Note that this bonus has already been factored into the Crew Skills of all converted Yuuzhan Vong ships that it would normally apply to.
Gravitic Telepathy: Yammosks can both receive and broadcast thoughts, allowing it to treat all of its assigned forces (the crew and troops of any ships, including non-capital-scale coralskippers) as being within sight and voice range. This effect extends to a range of 10,000 kilometers.
Shared Knowledge: Yammosks share their collected memories with their offspring. While a newly-born yammosk will possess these memories, however, it takes time before this knowledge can be applied to the creature's skills.
Starfighter Scale: Due to their size, yammosk are considered starfighter-scale.
Subsensory Awareness: The yammosk has the ability to judge a target's basic state of mind, and is a form of empathy. By making a successful Perception check (difficulty of the target's Control or Knowledge: Willpower), a yammosk

Maybe Toydarian merchant (Watto)? I was also thinking about some sort of Hutt, Corporate Sector, and Tapani specialist merchants. Those templates might be more administrative than street merchant level but they might bear inclusion in the list. Maybe something like "guild merchant" that would have specialties in their area of space or products from their area. They would also have some specialties in politics of their regions.

[Guardian_A]

[Fallon Kell]

I'd think a Hutt merchant would be more likely to con you into buying second rate goods, might have a good streetwise score for finding "special" items, etc.

I think the specialities a CSA, Tapani, or Hutt merchant template should have would make them independent templates. In addition to their mercantile specialties (Bargain, Con, Value, and Business) they would have Bureaucracy, Planetary Systems, Alien Species, and Streetwise specialties for their particular area. A Hutt merchant might specialize in Blasters but his knowledge of Hutt space politics gives him an edge in that region. If you just wanted a random merchant on Brentaal the specialist merchant would be germane but if you were in the Tapani sector a Tapani flavored merchant would be more appropriate.

Thinking about that idea more generally maybe we could come up with flavors to add to the templates. That way you only need to list a specialist merchant (or pirate or civilian) but then you could have a list of flavors that can add to the template. These would be say a particular race, some regional/cultural specialties, and even regional equipment. Then it becomes pick a template, a flavor, and blam you've got a nicely fleshed out NPC.
