Right you are, it shouldn't be easier to learn to use a Lightsaber Pike. Make it a separate skill then, just like Double-bladed Lightsaber should be.

I like those stats. They have enough stroke to get the job done.

I like it... Though why just limit it to puppies... why not also add in kittens and rabbits.

Seems a bit broad in my opinion. I mean, everytime he faces a force user he gets a bonus, just like that?

I'd rather have a something similar to Enhance Attribute but Dark Side related and focused exclusively on attack skills.

One thing to keep in mind is, the stats for them listed on the Wizards of the Coast web site are for a novice member of the Shadow Guard, who has just begun training. The stats for a fully trained member will be in the Force Unleashed sourcebook when it comes out.

Oh, thanks for the heads up, DarkBlade. Let's see how those stats will diferr from these ones.

Knowing Wizards, they'll probably be a few levels higher...guess we'll find out when the book comes out.

When Wizards of the Coast does their previews for the Star Wars Miniatures and gives them RPG stats, they are often of lower level than they would normally be, for game balance in the Minis game, or the stats represent the character earlier in their career, such as Darth Revan, and the stats for the Force Unleashed.

Kinda iritates me, though....would've been nice to see the characters at full power....Especially Revan and the Secret Apprentice (would've made them easiser to convert) Evil or Very Mad

Looking for the stats for Shadow Guard, but cant find them. Looked through the conversion of Force Unleashed Campaign Guide and they werent in there for some reason..

Has they been done for D6 somewhere else..

Regarding who is higher in rank I got the following from wookiepedia (not 'canon' in itself but from canon material I assume).

Royal Guards:
"The Royal Guards in the Imperial Period were selected from only the best men in the Academy who had proven themselves worthy for the position. There were several ranks in the Royal Guard system, the top being Sovereign Protector. "

"One particular division of the guard was the Emperor's Shadow Guard. This cadre was a special operations unit. Second only to the Imperial Sovereign Protectors, this group was sent out by Palpatine for selective missions."

SP:s seems to be learnt some very basic force skills to enhance their fighting skills, but not enough to give them ambitions.

SG are meant to fight Jedi and should have higher force skills. However, I would assume they have lower combat skills overall apart from Light-pike (or whatever its called) due to them being less militaristic (from what I can gather).

These guys are scary. Seriously i thought Royal Gaurds were bad, then comes along these guys and im dreading one or more against my jedi.

Ive seen a Royal Gaurd slice a whole squad of characters to peices, we ran from it, but these guys are so much worse. Id hate to imagine a Soveriegn Protector in how dangerous they are.

The only thing i see wrong with all three is if these guys hunt Jedi wouldnt they be a bit more Force trained. One can stop amition with drugs, torture, brainwashing or just pure Force (especially Dark Side).
There loyalty would never be a question with there devotion.

Oh final note, my DM used one against us, last night, and have to say i was really worried, i had to pull out all stops to defeat it, and in the end i used my ship against it.
