Tomb Guardian (Zeffo)

[shootingwomprats]

I did a ton of research on the Tomb Guardian: reading many online articles, the comic series Fallen Order: Dark Temple, Art of Jedi: Fallen Order, Jedi: Fallen Order Official Guide, and multiple Youtube play-throughs. The only thing I did not do was buy the $100 game and spend many hours playing it.

I am concerned about the "feel" of the Tomb Guardian from actual game play into d6 mechanics and would appreciate any input from my fellow community members.

Glad to see not only that you did do a lot of firsthand research, but also that you rephrased the original post from stating you knew almost nothing about the Tomb Guardian, to stating something that was more accurate to what you’d actually done.

This greater precision and better attention, both to source materials and to clear communication, will not only help your stats overall, but can also improve the kind of feedback you receive!

Some changes:

Blaster 4D+1
Equipped With:
Powered Body Armor (+2D to resist damage, the guardian loses this ability if the energy sphere is removed).
Special Abilities:
Power-Stomp: This attack may only be attempted every other round. Difficulty: Moderate; Blast Are: 5 meters. If the Tomb Guardian's attack is successful and the skill roll meets the required difficulty number, the target is knocked to the ground. The fallen character must use an action to stand up.
Multi-Blast Attack: The Tomb Guardian fires a ball of energy five times at random designated targets. The Tomb Guardian makes these attacks without multiple action penalties (Range: 3-7/25/50; Damage 6D).
Energy-Sweeper Attack: Everyone within a 45-degree arc of the Tomb Guardian's front is hit with a successful use. Characters within five meters of the blast cannot attempt to dodge; characters six to ten meters away may attempt to dodge, though all attempts are at -1D penalty (Range: 1-3/5/10; Damage: 6D).
Zeffo Energy Sphere: The energy sphere is located in the Tomb Guardian's chest. The round before and during it performs power stomp, multi-blast attack, or energy-sweeper attack, the sphere will glow brightly. At this time and only at this time the Force power telekinesis can be used to pull (for an Eilram Guardian) or push (for an Miktrull Guardian) the energy sphere out of the guardian's chest, causing it to shut down. This is a Difficult alter skill check modified by range. If the dislodged energy sphere is within 30 meters of the guardian it will levitate and return in 1D rounds, powering it back up.
Game Notes: Using power stomp, multi-blast attack, and energy-sweeper attack require a round to ready, during which time the Tomb Guardian can make no other attacks.

Thoughts?
