IŽm not entirely sure about the Adept negotiator, though it could work well as a "ranged attack". Plus I canŽt decide about the last feat. I gave Gialle Skill training (mechanics), but still am thinking about accelerated attack or flurry. IŽm open to suggestions

I know Gialle doesnŽt exactly fit the mission (sheŽd do better in urban environment), but I wanted to test her. The thought for this concept (dancer assassin/spy) when I made a Crimelord boss, thinking it would be fun to have a dancer-disguised assassin. ThereŽs always bunch of dancers in every crimelordŽs court, and players rarely pay them any attention...

Notes:  I keep leaning more and more to Soldier (AP-light and Armored Defense to wear light Jedi Battle Armor) for the missing class.  There are a few contenders for the missing Jedi bonus feat:  Running Attack would have been used early in the progression but at this level Rapid Strike could help damage but there are many good options.  The missing general feat has a good chance at being another Force Training so another 5 Force Powers which aren't listed yet.  For the Jedi Master talent I'm thinking about Fold Space Mastery although there I'm a bit curious about how useful it may be.

I know with Force Powers at least one will be Vital Transfer and it would be very helpful for another team member to also be able to use that Power.

Update:  Put in Soldier1 in there.  Holy Smokes, Stand Tall is a Jedi bonus feat!  If he can't stop everything this sure could be retribution depending on who else is with.  Went with Force Training x4 and added likely list of Force Powers which will get notes and better organization at some point.
Update 2:  Fleshed out equipment a good bit more.  With STR 8 you really don't have much room to spare.  It is interesting to note that with the addition of armor I can integrate his "main" physical fighting style of blaster and lightsaber defense all into the armor so he doesn't need to draw that and could actually give him some pretty clean lines.  I do wonder if the equipment and attunement bonuses would apply to a lightsaber wielded with KC; I know if the equipment bonus was to damage it would still apply and I suspect a damage based attunement bonus would as well so having the attack bonuses apply seems to make sense.

Using the "attack" lightsaber in hand with Finesse and Attaru would still just be +16 attack and 2d8+8 or 10 which is barely better than the blaster but with a lot more resources thrown at it.  Maybe should add a long-handled lightsaber thinking that he could still uses the guard shoto integrated into the armor to block and change Ataru.

Note:  I'd call him a brother to Tyro especially seeing as he is just a slight variation on the earlier Duros.  Right now thinking about RifleMaster for 12th-level feat.  As noted for Tyro he has some cleaning up to do and may move the short lightsaber into a bayonet version.

On another forum someone was asking how Desperate Gambit wasn't the most broken feat in the game (that title should belong to Force Training) and it actually had me wondering if using DG is actually optional if you miss. 

from r/SagaEdition

  If you throw out the idea that it HAS to be used when that first attack you make misses it certainly does become a lot bigger gamble as there may be times you couldn't chance a REF penalty.

I've never seen desperate gambit abused, but I've only ever seen scoundrels take it, not high Ref, high BAB characters. One of my PCs has the feat so I won't bar it and we can use it RAW.

In the long-term it might be worth coming up with a house-rule for desperate gambit (what if the ref penalties last the encounter and *stacked*?) but it's available RAW in this adventure.

I guess I may also wonder a little bit about this ship we would be using assuming that it may have some relevance at some point.

In many ways this ship is better than the stock model with no real trade-offs. I started this ship years ago when I probably didn't understand emplacement points. On the whole MOST of the PC rewards have gone into adding stuff to the ship and I've gone along with it since they haven't had much custom personal loot. So enjoy a probably not-street-legal ship for this adventure, with powerful upgrades hand-waved away by advanced Chiss technology.
