I'm loving the discussion about characters, and it seems like we've got everyone interested! I've been fixing up the encounter for the larger group and I think I will go ahead and start the game thread this coming weekend!

I'd say let's see if we can get all the characters "finalized" and while we're given a lot for range for PCs if there's anything specific that you're wondering about Fak we could get answered before starting.

I'd like to make sure everyone knows which build they are using to avoid later confusion. Posted here are the PCs, as I see them:

Spoiler: Furbal (hover to show)

Spoiler: Akunar (hover to show)

Spoiler: Methos (hover to show)

Tim, did you want to play both or just one? If you let me know I can remove a build, or leave them both.

Spoiler: Torkad (hover to show)

Spoiler: Aiden (hover to show)

Spoiler: Ghost (hover to show)

Note I believe Ghost is unfinished. I'll try to update it steven, if you PM the changes to me.

Spoiler: Krusseck (hover to show)

These are the finalized builds for the sandbox. Please double-check to make sure there aren't any final corrections. If so PM me and I will update them. Then, I will begin posting in the gameplay thread!

It's the same character, just changed his name to his incognito alias to avoid the multiple A names (which oddly enough is a problem in my local campaign as well - what is it with Star Wars and A names?  It it just because of Anakin?)

Made a couple of tweaks to Krusseck.

I swapped out Cleave for Desperate Gambit to improve my attack rolls, swapped a Soldier level for a Gladiator level so my Unflinching feature would better (but I lost a feat in the process), switched from heavy battle armor to heavy powered battle to access another upgrade slot so I could mount both my vibro-axe and blaster rifle without having to worry about dropping them or spending an action to switch modes, changed Juggernaut to Second Skin so my Reflex and Fortitude would have minimal changes, and added the Iridonian template to the vibro-axe for a bit more damage potential.

Alright then! It looks like we are satisfied with the builds so I will post the gameplay thread today!

I'm just going to swap out Methos's "Weapon Focus: Rifles" for "Point Blank Shot" if it's not too late (not a big deal though)

Updated your post Fak to add Fluidity to Ghost.  I think Sienn also used "god power" to alter Krussecks stats as described.  May need to put in Tim's updates to Methos yet.  I was thinking we have Aiden or Akunar for Dessertblade although with both certainly boost the size and fighting capacity of the party goes up.

When they're "SET" drop them on the play thread if you would.

If you need both, you can use Aiden and Akunar, but if I would have to choose, I would take Akunar. Only one change: Remove "Anticipate movement" for "Blend im" for more survivality.

Good luck to you all!

I will stay out of this one. Too much to do.

Hey friends, I have another encounter I would like to try, for a party of 4-6 CL13 heroes. It is an encounter I have planned for a campaign and I may have overclocked it and made it too lethal. Would there be interest in starting another sandbox to test?

Thought the first two were great fun so I'm certainly interested.

I´m in. What´s the setting? As in, what characters would be appropriate?

Well, like all sandboxes the setting doesn't matter too much so feel free to test whatever concept comes to you, Ghondar - Legacy Era Imperial Knight, Ancient Rakata berserker, etc.

However, this mission is one I think will be taking place somewhere in between the last two sandboxes I've run, so after the Assault on the Trenches but before the Moonbase. I've finally managed to coerce my group back into playing and they are headed down a side quest that I have an endgame for, but might be too tough. All this to say that if you wanted to use a variation off the characters used before, go ahead!

I might actually run more than a single encounter this time, because I need to see how the PCs look before they get to the final boss.

If it's the same series I'd probably use the same character(s).
