Author Topic: NPC Request Thread (Read 5090 times)

lithobolos · « **on:** August 19, 2013, 04:51:38 pm »

I remember there being a thread on the old forums so I thought I would create one and start off with a request. If there is already a thread like this please point me in the right direction. Also I would like to thank everyone that posted NPCs in the past, either on requests or contests, they have made the game my friends and I are having so much more enjoyable.

I would like a pair of bounty hunters based on Bebop and Rocksteady from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to be constant antagonists for a PC in the story I'm GMing. Bebop is a boar so making him a Gamorrean with a custom scatter gun makes sense to me. Rocksteady is a rhino and I can't for the life of me think of a species to fit him, if there isn't any I guess some kind of Arkanian or Sith created hybrid of a miniature Herglic and something else would work. Rocksteady in my mind should have a rifle and a vibroblade depending on situation but I leave it up to you. As they are going to be a constant thorn in the the sides of the PCs it would be nice if I had a CL 7 and CL 12 version of them.

Added the picture I'm going to use for my game. Green Bebop for the win.

I don't think I will be able to create any stats for you, but if you aren't a stickler for canon, then I would suggest creating your own species. Do you remember the Star Wars: The Clone Wars episode where Skwalker and Binks help the Mon Calamari on Dac? Well anyway, the Separatist representative was a Karkaradoan. Karkaradoans have shark-like heads. If you wanted too, based on Rocksteady, you can create your own species bonuses and ability modifiers. Thats what I would do.

Rocksteady's species

The Rinocera's possess great strength and bulk, but are strongly lacking in intelligence. Rinocerans can follow simple commands and have hard times understanding jokes or innuendos.

Ability Modifiers: +2 Str, +2 Con, -4 Int

The Rinocerans made their transition into the galactic community in 26,098BBY, when Hutt ships stumbled upon them after a failed mining expediton on their homeworld. Like the Niktos and Klattonians, the Rinocerans were quickly indoctrined into Hutt slavery. Because of their savage muscle, Rinocerans are typically used for guards and other sercurity details. They are often teamed up with their relatively smarter allies, the Klatoonians.

In the year 4500BBY, a massive outbreak of disease coupled with the destruction of much of the Rinoceran homeworld due to an asteroid, made the Rinicerans all but extinct. The little aid from the Hutts saved few lives. After this catalysm, the remaining Rinocerans removed themselves from Hutt control and lived meager lifestyles on Outer Rim worlds.

Though Rinocerans are towering in stature and stregth, Rinocerans are very slow to temper, and are considered the most patient in the galaxy. Few Rinocerans ever progress past farming, but force-sensitive Rinocerans make Jedi with great wisedom and calm.

These are some good ideas. Thanks.

If you want big and stupid, I would just go with Mantellian Savrip.

Good find. He would only be about 2 meters though, think I read they average 4, (moving them from 2x2 sq to 1x1.) Could also replace their claws with a more deadly horn attack in exchange for dropping poison and reach.

To convert it to a medium sized creature, I would suggest removing Poison and Primitive so they would cancel each other out. Then simply replace Natural Weapon (claw) for Natural Weapon (horns), which would still deal 1d6 damage. Reduce the speed from 8sq to the standard 6sq. If you like, you can grant him a bonus feat to cover the speed and poison losses such as Toughness or Improved Damage Threshold.

I can't find where it says a Savrip has Reach.

StevenO · « **Reply #6 on:** August 20, 2013, 07:35:49 pm »

The Beast Savrip has Reach but the PCish writeup of the species does NOT have reach. There are very few things in SAGA that will give a PC type character natural reach although with a large, upright creature such as the savrip I have considered giving them "offensive reach" which would give them reach but ONLY on their turn.

I think I'm leaning towards a Houk with very low charisma. :/

That could work.

Richter, would you mind statting up a level 2 Jedi for me? They will be helping the party in the opening combat of the next session of my real life game. (3 of them plus the party versus a few Dark Jedi).

I saved this from the old boards. You can never have too many naval officer NPCs.

I tried to make these 2 officers as different as possible. I found some actual Star Wars personalities that fit the descriptions of these officers: Teren Rogriss, Imperial Navy, and General Garret, New Republic Navy. If these people don’t fit your campaign (or you don’t want to use them), simply change their names.

They look fine. I like Bebop's Acrobatic Strike / Zero Range combo. I don't think I've ever seen that before.

I don't think the Sport Hunter feat you gave to Bebop CL 14 benefits him. I would replace it with either Desperate Gambit, Prime Shot, Triple Crit, or Running Attack.
