Um Jedi Comedian, I hate to be a stickler, but I noticed some inconsistencies in my build. There small and I guess I only noticed them because I worked so hard on him, but I checkd my word processor copy to be sure. I never gave him the Guardian Spirit talent or the Battle Strike or Negate Energy powers and I gave him two uses of the saber swarm lightsaber form power.

Did I miscount how many talents and powers to give him? Just curious, please don't be mad. I don't want you to think I'm one of those people who's never satisfied or something like that.


BTW, Mara Jade Skywalker.........the hotness, good choice!

Jedimike, I sent you a PM about this. Basically, your build was missing a few things - a Jedi Master talent, 3 Force powers (the two uses of sabre swarm weren't included in your original post) and a Force regimen. I filled in the gaps myself, but as soon as you let me know what you want to do about it I'll update the post with your choices.

And hey, of course I wouldn't be mad. This is your winning entry, you have a right for it to be the way you want. Smile

Design Notes

This is my attempt at creating Mara Jade as I see her as of Allegiance - effectively after her training as an agent has been completed and she begins her missions for the Emperor wholescale.

Original Ability scores were based on a 35 point buy with the fourth level increases applied in brackets beside that score:
Str 10, Dex 16, Con 11 (+1), Int 15 (+1), Wis 14, Cha 14

Mara Jade was 17.5 years old as of Allegiance, which is inside the Adult age boundary for Humans.

In regards to skills
:
The skills chosen reflect the key abilities she demonstrated in Allegiance, though she has not yet advanced far enough in her career to have focused in any particular area. That said, her abilities are considerable and diverse inspite of that.

In regards to abilities and feats
:
The feats chosen reflect her weapons training, while Weapon Finesse reflects her precision with a lightsabre. As she managed to knock one of the Commodore's men unconcious whilst unarmed and laced her sabre/pistol strikes with her fists, it seems fitting to give her Martial Arts I. Disruptive reflects her ability to irritate and distract her opponents - something Mara is especially good at.

In regards to Force abilities
:
Force abilities are fairly standard, Deflect and Redirect Shot are needed as she often dispatched her opponents with their own blaster bolts. She doesn't have Skill Focus (Use the Force) as she said in Dark Tide I that most of her early training did not involve the Force at all. I did consider the Telepathic LinkKotOR and LinkJATM talents to reflect Mara being able to hear the Emperor's voice throughout the galaxy, but I ultimately decided against it as those talents have very limited ranges and would only have an effect at close range - something Mara is unlikely to be within given the nature of her missions.

In regards to Force Powers:
*Circle of Shelter was used to help defend herself and Tannis from the Bloodscar's
*Move Object was used on various occasions, but the obvious one was when she used it to move her lightsabre across the rooftops of Gepparin so that the pirates wouldn't find it and that she'd still have a weapon.
*Surge was used in various places, though she mostly used it for Force-enhanced jumps.

By the way, if anyone else wants to make requests, this is the place to do it. Just so we're clear on that.
