TheSagaContinues

I have to go with chelle's entry for being complete and well-thought-out. It feels similar to the official ones in the books.

For the next contest, I'll submit Combat Techs. These are builds which fit one of the (admittedly limited) flavors of sci-fi technicians, while also being a valuable person to have on your side in a combat scenario.

I'm a day late, but submissions are now closed and voting is open! Only 2 entries this time (Organizations are admittedly a bit daunting for someone to make for a contest), so I'm going to make a small tweak to the rules and say that everyone only gets one vote this time. Don't forget to vote for a theme for the next contest as well!

Ranks/Duties/Benefits:

0 - Initiate; none
1 - Youngling;  Provided housing by Order and education.  Duty to learn force and provide upkeep and service to temple.
2 - Padawan; Perform assigned missions.  Provided a basic lightsaber by your master or the order.
3 - Jedi Knight; Perform assigned missions, train padawan.  Provided transport within sphere of influence for self and additional number equal to rank.
4 - Master; Undertake missions for the order.  Oversee Knight and lower ranks.  Access to Jedi Archives allowing Knowledge checks as if trained with modifier equal to organization score.  Oversee Jedi holdings.
5 - Master of the Order/Council; Help set policy for the order and oversee recruitment and training.  Can gain audience with equal rank members of other organizations.
6 - Grandmaster; head of the order.

Note:  Although the Jedi may appear to lead a simple life they have access to resources as per the Requisition system in GaW to supplement a small amount of personal equipment.  Requisitions can take the form of calling in Favors and such (as per "optional wealth by level guidelines")

Note:  Class names don't matter so I do NOT use them in criteria assignments.  Instead you see things that would be gained with those classes but Jedi can come from many backgrounds and thus may gain these things through various means.

I haven't assigned organization scores to ranks at this time.  May add more levels (as seen in the Rank and Privlege section in GaW) but the intent will be that a Jedi 1 can qualify for the Padawan level to account for starting lightsaber and that a character who has taken levels in Jedi Knight should qualify for the rank of Jedi.   A similar association with someone who could take levels in Master having that title available.

Extension request to Tuesday.  "End of summer"/Labor Day weekend here in the USA.

Good on you for finding it although I'm not getting it to load to see what it's about.
