Another New template.

[garhkal]

Born from the thread up in game master, where we were on about what skills someone should have, when making their own template, i came up with this, just as a 'show how to', but after a little looking at it, i considered it for FUll template status..

So here goes.

Planetary SWAT team operative.

Dex - 3d+2: Blaster, Brawl Parry, Dodge, Grenade, Melee, Melee Parry and Running.

Know - 2d+1: Alien species, Bureaucracy, Cultures, Intimidation, Law enforcement, Languages and Tactics

Mech - 2d+1: Players choice of 2 of the 3 following – Ground Vehicle operations, Hover Vehicle operations or Repulsorlift Operations and Sensors.

Per - 3d+1: Command, Investigations, Persuasion, Search and Sneak.

Str - 3d+2: Brawl, Climb/Jump, Lifting and Stamina

Tech - 2d+2: Armor Repair, Blaster Repair, Repulsorlift Repair, and 1 of the 3 following – Demolitions (for disarming), Security (for breach man) and First aid (for field medic).

NOTE: Attributes are for Player Characters. NPC swat officials, drop +2 from all attributes.

Equipment: Level 2 Tactical suit (full body protection of +1d+2 physical and +1d energy, but gives –1d dex penalty), head-strap comlink, DB-8X blaster rifle (4d+2 damage, but due to laser pointer sight, gains +1d+1 to hit at short range, +2 at medium range, and no bonus at long), 3 spare blaster power packs, 2 smoke grenades, 2 ‘flash bang grenades’, stun baton, 3 uniforms, 2 sets of regular clothing, Identification card with police badge, and 5 person “generic” land speeder/hover vehicle/ground vehicle.

Credits: 1,500


Your family has had a history of working for the police in some aspect. Heck your brother just passed his Lawyer’s bar exam, and will be working at the District Attorneys office. When you first entered the Police academy, you were scrawny, but slowly you built up muscle and stamina and eventually passed (after 2 set backs) with flying colors. When the officials approached you about becoming a member of Sector 42’s Swat team, you jumped at the chance, after becoming enamored with their ‘aura’ from watching too many holovids as a kid.
Since joining the team, you have proven to be a reliable and dependable teammate.

Looks like a good character to start out with for a new inductee into the Alliance's SpecOps; he's got the experience, and perhaps with the Empire moving in and taking over the administration of all law enforcement, the character becomes disenchanted with the way things have become. Or perhaps they pulled a planetary ground assault, killing the character's family, driving him to put his skills to use in the Rebellion...

Any number of great entry points there, Good job, garkhal!

[garhkal]

Thanks...

I like it!

[garhkal]

Well, since i am on a 'resurrection spree', thought i would bring up a few older templates i have, to see what new comments i can get.

and your resurrection! Aren't there more Star Wars-y terms to use than District Attorney and Lawyer?

A more general question: is there any sort of guideline, other than common sense, for how many skill choices to stick under each attribute? I know in making some d6 templates I've felt like I've included too many. Except for very specialized guys (say KNO skills for a scholar) I try to hold at 5 or so. Also because my character sheet in Campaign Cartographer only has about that many spots.

Ive seen stats for a Litigation droid that could be used as a good basis for a beginner lawyer type template, could even give them a litigation droid in the beginning equipment.

[garhkal]

That makes me think i need to do UP a 'lawyer/litigant' type template.

So other than high per/know, what else would it look like.
I am thinking 3d+2 per/4d know, 2d dex 2d+1 str (paperwork carrying), 3d tech and mech?
