THE CATCH ALL QUESTION THREAD

[sparrow]

That period of time is either greater than 4 years, or they do not.

[adventurer33]

So from looking at the plot line I am guessing that we are ignoring everything that happens in Biowares new Star Wars game. Am I correct?

[Lemur, The Kool-Aid Guy]

Correct. We predate it, so we have our own canon.

[adventurer33]

So the war with the sithtocrats started in 3602 BBY, what happened before that in SWU canon? You have a hundred years since the last sith was offed and the mandalorians have been behaving themselves up until now. So what have the Jedi been doing with themselves? If we are creating a Jedi character do we just make up stuff to have them doing the last 2o or 30 years? When did the Sithtocrats start building their "empire" How long has the Mandalorians been running their crusade?

Most of your questions appear to be answered in the plot thread, a link to which you can find in the sidebar.

Also, it's a big galaxy, so there are plenty of minor conflicts that your jedi could probably be working on in his history. Yes, you can make stuff up.

[adventurer33]

Okay thanks.

[Dac Bailu]

How are credits kept track of? Are there shops? A bounty board for mercenaries? If my ignorance offends, please just point me in the right direction and I'll continue my research.

[Lemur, The Kool-Aid Guy]

We don't have a system that allots you currency. If you want to do banking on here, you'll have to do it yourself. People can put up bounties, but most people do it themselves. If you go after another PC, be sure to ask the player.

What Force power category does battlemind fall under?

[Dutch]

Telepathy :3

[Jenno]

Also, technically speaking it's a specialized skill, so you'd have to list it as such in the profile.

[Reven]

Do the Corellian Jedi(AKA Green Jedi) exist in this era?

[Dutch]

I just checked their wiki page. Says they were active during our era. I guess they're kosher, but we'll see what the character shows.

[Reven]

How exactly is Force stun a protection Force power?

[Jenno]

I assume that you're on about the fact force stasis is listed under protection and when you search for it on wookieepedia it comes up with Force Stun and lists stasis as an advanced tier.

This I'd put down to the fact that wookiee changes, a lot. We've had entire planets moved from the Outer Rim to the Core because of changes. The ability Force Stun is a specialised power and you can see that we put the two advanced forms in the list of banned powers because they're pretty overpowered.

I believe stasis was initially (when the thread was first set up) to do with meditating and put one's body in a state to protect it against things like the cold, though I may be wrong. Since things have changed I guess we must have just forgotten to remove the old version of stasis from under the protection heading.

I've now made the edit so it's not listed as one of the example powers.

[Reven]

You might want to move force stun from telekinesis to telepathy seeing how it temporarily deadens the senses and perceptions of a targeted enemy. The fact that it can be resisted by those that have a high degree of will power and only works on organic beings gives me the impression that it's a telepathy power. That's the main reason why I was asking about what category that power is in. Here's the wookiepedia link

starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Force_Stun

[Jenno]

Didn't see stun in telekinesis, but I did see stasis in protection. Stun's removed as well now.

To restate two points:

1: We don't really pay too much attention to those powers listed under the categories, they're not a complete/comprehensive list.

2: Stun is a specialized power, it's on the list. Though I'd have thought it would also have some relation to telepathy.

[Reven]

Sorry about all of the questions and hopefully this will be the last one. What's it like on Taris? I know that it's currently being reconstructed and that it still has a long way to go, but is it still a massive city planet like Coruscant?

[Kuhblam]

I was under the impression that it has literally become an urban jungle (vegetation everywhere over the ruins), but I could be wrong.
