10am/7pm is fine by me
Excellent.
I'll get started and look for two people. Are real begginers ok pr should I look only for people with a bit of experience ?
Either way is fine for me. I mostly look for people that are reasonable and interested in playing.
By the way, alex_van_d got back to me and he is interested, so our numbers grow
And I like your house rules, though the link you posted is dead, it takes to wotc front page.
Thanks, I've spent a lot of time developing them. I know the link is dead, but I keep it around to remind myself. I need to check and see if the Wayback Machine still has it logged.
Also, I have a few questions : since I think I will go for a dex lightsaber build, I wonder how fast is the leveling in saga (how many sessions do you think would it take for a lvl), and do you think we will still play a lot after lvl 8 ? A dex jedi hits like an asthmatic worm until he gets ataru, so it would be kinda lame if we never reached the point where I get good, or if we play little after that.
Also, do you agree that the long handle lightsaber works with finesse ? I heard some people who didn't seem to think so, but even if it seems obvious to me that it does (after all the whole point of it is to be used by someone with low strength, the feat says it works with lightsabers, and the only one lightsaber that doesn't work with finesse has to specify it), I think it's best if we're on the same page about this.
Saga does the whole XP thing, but I don't like that quite as much. I've mostly played that heroes advance when the plot calls for it. For now, plan on characters gaining levels about every 3rd session. That should give us some time to try out new abilities while not making each session a level-up festival.
About the Level 8 thing, I honestly can't say at this point. We need to start playing and get a feel for group dynamics, progress, and other things before I can determine that. I don't mind Ataru, but the whole "before Level 8" thing is the reason I tend toward Str-based Jedi.
I do rule that long-handle lightsabers work with Weapon Finesse, but per my houserules, an Ataru specialist wielding a long-handle for the 2d10 is still subject to the original limitations regarding two-handed use with a long-handle (not doubling Str, or Dex in your case, in exchange for getting the 2d10).
