This competition is now closed.
 

Hi everyone, and welcome back to You Build the Character. This month's challenge is to build Han and Leia's son Jacen Solo, who went from wisecracking kid to philosophical Jedi to the emo Sith Lord Darth Caedus. You have until 11.59pm (PDT) on Thursday 23 June to post your RPG stats, and any notes you want to post explaining your decisions. Once submissions have closed, all forum members will have until 11.59pm (PDT) on Thursday 7 July to vote for their favourite. Whichever build receives the most votes will win.

The prize for winning is having your stats enshrined in the YBtC Hall of Fame, as well as the bragging rights.

The following rules apply to all submissions:
  1. All builds must be created according to RAW, with no house rules (no single Athletics skill, no bonus feats for bloodlines etc).
  2. You may use "unlimited" point buy for Jacen's ability scores, provided each score is between 3 and 18 at first level (before racial and age adjustments).
  3. You are free to use material from all official Saga Edition books, up to and including The Unknown Regions.
  4. Your stats may represent Jacen Solo at any point during his life, or serve as an overall interpretation of the character as a whole. You may even include multiple stats to represent multiple points in time, provided they are all different level versions of the same build (ie no swapping out talents or feats).
  5. Jacen Solo is a Human, and as such uses the Human species traits provided on page 23 of the core rulebook.
  6. You may change your stats at any point up until submissions close, at which point any edited stats will be disqualified.


Have fun everyone, and may the Force be with you. Smile

Wow.  Good luck with this one.  He has so many talents he needs from so many force traditions...I'll be very curious to see what builds people come up with.

This could get interesting. So many options. I'll have to meditate long and hard this topic.

One question: Will there be a YBtC for Jaina and Anakin Solo? At least there should be for Jaina, as she is a ever-devolping character on the EU books. It would be fun to she how creative people will get with her stats and abilities.

I will edit this post with a submission ASAP.

If people want to see Jaina and Anakin statted then yes, I will do YBtC contests for them at some point in the future.

I'll consider your question a request. Smile

This represents Jacen Solo at the height of his power after his ascension to the Dark Side, and becoming Darth Caedius. (As of Legacy of the Force: Invincible)


Starting Abilities Scores: 14,12,12,12,14,16. Using the unlimited point buy permitted in this format, I used a total of 34 points. I found Jacen to be a well-balanced mix of physicality and high mental capability, as is represented by my starting scores.


Class Selection: Jacen started training as a Jedi at a very young age, so Jedi is the natural choice. He then was a Jedi Knight during and after the Yuuzhan Vong War. A level of  Scout gives him training that reflects his training with the Fallanassi. Three levels of Force Adept reflect his focus on learning from other force traditions instead of Jedi training, and also reflect the start of his ascension to the Dark Side. Because of the great power Jacen had when he took when becoming Darth Caedius, three levels of Sith Lord complete and expand his knowledge and power with Dark Side.


Talent Selection: Force Perception (taken at 1st level) reflect his amazing connection with the Force. Block, Deflect, Weapon Specialization, Redirect Shot, (taken at levels 3, 5, 7, and 10), represents Jacen’s training as a Jedi Knight. Visions (taken at 9th level) came when Jacen started to have power Force visions of the future during the Yuzzhan Vong War and was expanded with his time with the Aing-Tii Monks. Many Shades of the Force (taken at 12th level) come from Jacen’s understanding of the way the Aing-Tii Monks view the Force. White Current Adept and Force Immersion (taken at levels 14 and 15) are from his time with the Fallanassi and reflect his ability to hide from electronic monitoring (as shown in Legacy of the Force: Betrayal). Power of the Dark Side and Swift Power (taken at levels 17 and 20) reflects how easy the ascension to the Dark Side was for Jacen. Force Deception (taken at level 18) rounds off his power with the ability to deceive others and ability to hide his Dark Side powers.


Feat Selection: I gave Jacen in this build decent martial ability (Double Attack/Triple Crit) while focusing on his ability with many aspects of the Force (Force Trainingx4/Skill Focus (Use the Force)/Strong in the Force), and greater defensive ability (Dodge, Improved Defenses, Mobility).


Force Power Selection: Jacen has a diverse knowledge of many Force powers and abilities. Farseeing is Jacen’s numbest power and reflects his mastery of Force visions and flow-walking (an Aing-Tii Monk force use interoperation). Fold Space and Memory Walk are powers that taught by the Aing-Tii Monks for use when flow-walking. Jacen had knowledge of the use of Shatterpoint, using it to break through Mandalorian beskar’gam armor in Legacy of the Force: Invincible


Destinies: Destruction and Rescue reflect Jacen’s part in the defeat of the Yuzzhan Vong. Discovery reflects his discovery of the Aing-Tii Monks, the rediscovery of the Fallanasii, and mastery of the White Current and Flow-Walking.

No one? Come on guys, I know that Jacen's a challenge, but I have full faith in the Praxeum community to create something good (not that the builds already entered weren't good, you understand). Smile

Here is my build of Jacen Solo from the NJO thread. Since I have him as Darth Caedus, I thought I might as well post him here as well.

This next Jacen Solo is as of Star by Star. He's leveled a bit since the onset of the war, however I didn't have him as high a level as seen on an earlier page in this thread. I also didn't give him any feats or talents with armor. This is because I feel he's not really a consistent enough armor fighter to justify the spent talent and feat. Instead, I'd use the JATM optional rule of letting Jedi use light armor without penalty or bonus to explain his use of armor, as well as the rest of the Myrkr strike team.

From here until the end of traitor I think it's safe to say that Jacen gains a level. Since twelfth level brings with it quite a few goodies, I thought this was the perfect point stat-wise to coincide with this book. Equilibrium and a +1 to Con represents Jacen's acceptance of pain, and the +1 to Wisdom represents his growth as a Force user.

Jacen ends the Yuuzhan Vong War at level 13. While some might initially think that seems low, I compare it to the average Jedi Master, which is around 13 or 14, and also to Luke while defeating Vader, who was only level 11 at the time.

Destiny
 (Destruction) Jacen Solo completed this destiny by destroying Onimi,
granting him a +2 bonus to Wisdom.


A five year journey sees Jacen learning a lot of new Force powers. dark rage and Force lightning, while not seen right away when he returns, represent his dabbling in the dark side. Shatterpoint is obviously used in Invincible later. I represent his Nightsister blood trail as a creative way to describe Force track. Flow walking can be depicted using Visions, as stated in JATM. He uses Mind Shard against Ta'a Chume.

Destiny
 (Destruction) Jacen Solo completed this destiny by destroying Onimi,
granting him a +2 bonus to Wisdom.


Jacen continues along the dark path bit by bit. He also grows more and more secretive, and is known to hide himself in the Force. While he hasn't fully trained Ben, I say his education destiny was completed just by convincing Ben to use the Force, instead of hiding from it. Later, with Ben, we see that Jacen had a large effect on his education, and I felt like Jacen deserved the Corruption destiny for his time during the Legacy of the Force series.

Destiny (Corruption) It is Jacen Solo's destiny to fall irrevocably to the dark side by
murdering Mara Jade Skywalker.
Destiny (Education)
 
Jacen Solo completed this destiny by beginning Ben Skywalker's
training in the Force, thus granting him +5 to Use the Force checks.
Destiny
 (Destruction) Jacen Solo completed this destiny by destroying Onimi,
granting him a +2 bonus to Wisdom.


Finally we have Darth Caedus. While I suspect he got to maximum DSP before completing his destiny, his slaying of Mara Jade Skywalker was the final straw in a roleplaying sense. He has Quicken Power, to allow him to do the crazy amount of things he does per round. It took me a while to reconcile a way to make him one of the best lightsaber duelists in the galaxy, but I think I found a way in making him a crit machine. Tempered aggression and Triple Crit give him a good edge, especially when battling people like Kyle Katarn. It also leaves him still effective when he looses his arm, and equilibrium takes away the penalties. He likes also fights with Dark Rage often now, with improved dark rage and a Force point spent to make the bonus last the whole encounter giving him the edge he needs to go toe to toe with most anyone.
