Verpine template

I am working on a generic Verpine template. The text sounds like they are diplomats as well as techs. So I was thinking a high perception as well as a high technical. Now for equipment i was thinking of a Verpine shatter gun w/1 reload and a personal multi - tool, datapad.

Any other equipment ideas?

Welcome to the Pit!

I find generic templates to be anathema to the point of templates (the one that comes to mind is the original Mon Calamari template).

So I suggest coming up with a more specific characters concept. Verpine what? Any ideas?

I had read the Verpine background. They seem to have two basic functions out of the community they have. The main one being technical adept. A secondary one is diplomat. Story wise they have a bad case of "oh shiny" with technology, and "can't we all get along" with social interaction. My idea was to have a template that could mix the two to one degree or another.

Then its about skill selection and character background not equipment. At a minimum you will want to do some dice into Bureaucracy, Persuasion and pick a Technical skill(s) you want. Perhaps Computer Programming/Repair and Security. Maybe bump up Technical attribute and drop dice into a few Knowledge and Perception skills. You won't have a lot of choices with 7D at the start st your going to want to stick to a background concept and some keyv skills relating to your background.

Okay when creating a character you must remember that even if you do not have a skill it defaults to the corresponding attribute. This is going to be key to your character concept and will effect your skill choices.

When creating a template remember that the skill lists are what general archetypes would have. Again not all of these skills obviously.

Something I noticed about the template you posted was an extremely low Knowledge and Max's out Perception and Technical. Verpine already get a skill bonus for Technical skills so the 4D+2 seems like monster overkill. Remember bureaucracy is going to be a key skill for you. Might consider planetary systems, intimidation or willpower. Again, only suggestions. Look forward to your posting when you have this created. Hopefully with a background, personality and not just a bunch of stats.

Sounds a little min-max for someone focusing on trying to push the diplomatic side of verpines.
Now since GG4, has the Verpines min/maxes as
Dex 1d+1/3d
Know 1d+1/3d
Mech 1d+2/3d+2
Per 1d+1/4d
Str 1d+1/3d and
Tech 2d/5d

i could see making a diplomatic focused template for them as having attribute breakdown as;
Dex 2d+2
Know 3d
Mech 2d+2
Per 3d+2
Str 2d+2
Tech 3d+1

That way even with the Verpine bonus, they still would get 5d+1 on any tech roll but are still not overwhelming pratically all other PCS in tech skills from the get go.

Still imo pushing tech up to high if you are trying to be more focused on the diplomatic side of house.
