Hm, putting bounties on kids. That'd never fly in the computer gaming world. You all are sick. :P Kind of a fun one to run though, given the conflicting feelings the heroes should be feeling. On one hand, they're chasing down some children to effectively save them from capture by someone else. On the other hand, the kids are manipulative, deceptive, and very dangerous. It would be tough if the heroes were forced to fight them. Other thoughts: What type of lame Jedi gets killed by one T-Detonator? The kids CL should be 3, not 2. 2 Scoundrel levels + 3 NonHeroic levels. Now, before you say, "but their kids, they should have a lower CL" look at their stats. As nine-year-olds, their unadjusted abilities would be: Str 10, Dex 18, Con 14, Int 14, Wis 16, Cha 18 That's at least a 50 point buy, these kids are neigh super-human. Even after age adjustments, their a minimum of a 26 point-buy. Essentially these are children, but without the downside. A CL adjustment don't make sense. EDIT: You know, other than the CL thing, these stats are error free. Thanks.

The kind that takes 8d6x4 points of damage from a TD set with the demolitions use of the Mechanics skill? (112points of damage with average rolls) :P :D  Ah, but that can only be used against objects and unattended vehicles. Characters and vehicles being driven wouldn't suffer any additional multipliers.

Nice! These are unique characters that would definitely spice up play.

So the demolitionist sneaks on board the "unattended vehicle" and plants the charge that does 8d6x4 damage and leaves, but as soon as the jedi boards, it is no longer "unattended" and somehow the damage is magically reduced to 8d6...
Bounty postings ROCK! keep 'em coming.:D

Hm, putting bounties on kids. That'd never fly in the computer gaming world. You all are sick. Well remember the bounty is for "alive and unharmed" which to my way of thiniking is "the Jedi want someone to help bring these kids back to them and are offering a reward" so it's not so much a typical bounty. it's more the classic "persuade the kid to return to the authority figure he's running from so they can get the help they need, in a return for a reward" something you do occasionally see in video games.

Most adorable bounties ever.:D They would be a nice way to get padawans too, you just have to find a way to get rid of the non-heroic levels.:D By the way, I think that this is the first bounty, for that being a member of the bounty hunter prestige class has absolute no benefit.:D

Although its kind of obvious what it would be like, the lack of a Legacy Era option is annoying.

Isn't it nearly identical to KOTOR? Except that the Imperial Knights could also be interested.:D

What a nice reward for finding and recoving some "missing" children. This "bounty" doesn't even need to come from some nefarious source but could just be from concerned relatives.

EDIT: You know, other than the CL thing, these stats are error free. Thanks. Seems like an awful lot of feats to me, but I don't feel like reverse-engineering things tonight.

Seems like an awful lot of feats to me, but I don't feel like reverse-engineering things tonight. Acutally they are short 1 feat. They get 2 feats from scoundrel (starting feat, 2nd level bonus feat), three from nonheroic, and three for being human (1st level, 3rd level, human bonus feat).
I like the fluff behind them, but I think their stats are just insane. Forget Anakin Skywalker, these two are the Chosen Ones.

Never thought I'd see a "We want our kids back" scenario as a Bounty Posting.
I like it. Go kiddies!
It's morphin time! ...Oh wait, wrong universe. Now where did I put my lightsabre?

This is the first one I didn't like. I mean, nothing is wrong with it, and it is statistically correct, but it just isn't something I'd use.

I have to say this would be an interesting adventure to run with my group. Most of them are jedi anyway. I especially like the unharmed part of the contract.
