Actually, could you do me a HUGE favor and make the remainder of encounters to get them past level 1? I'm still new at making encounters and NPCs and at such a low level the stakes are higher.
If you would like to do it: The PCs have accumaulated 467 XP each, including the encounter with the assassins. They are all either level 1 soldiers or Jedi so they have a decent chunk of health. The era is Rebellion so anything from Stormtroopers to Street thugs is great. There are three PCs, but the campaign allows me to easily throw in a GM controlled party member if you would like me to. No need to worry about how the encounters will fit together or in the campaign, I can handle that.
If you wanna do it, thanks. If not, no worries.

Thanks, man. Sorry, it was rude of me to ask so much. I apologize.
It's not rude. This is an NPC/encounter request thread! Let me know if the NPC's in My NPC Statblocks suit your needs. If you need something different, let me know.

*Archetype: A Jedi who focuses on the Jar'Kai lightsaber form *Encounter Difficulty: I would like the NPC to be level 4 Number of opponents: Just the 1. And it is an ally. (for now... ) Race: Elomin Any other details: I would like the Jedi to have 2 dueling lightsabers, and I picture the character a little dark so a few Dark Side points might be in order.
*Archetype: A dual-pistol-wielding scoundrel *Encounter Difficulty: I would like the NPC to be level 4 Number of opponents: Just the 1. Race: Any, I want him to wear a hat like Cad Bane or John Marston from Read Dead Redemption, so any species that has the right head shape will do. Any other details: I would like the NPC to be at least trained in pilot, maybe Skill Focus.
*Archetype: A healer/medic *Encounter Difficulty: like the rest, level 4 Number of opponents: Also like the rest, just the 1. Race: Any. One of the players is a fan of Selketh so maybe... Any other details: I really don't care if it heals people using the Force through vital transfer or something like that or if it just uses treat injury. Makes no differnece to me, I guess whichever way is more effective.
And the last request:
*Archetype: Coliseum Guards *Encounter Difficulty: Easy for a level 3-4 PC Number of opponents: Unimportant. I explain below Race: Any, preferably something that easily be a Hutt goon. Except Nikto. Any other details: Ok, there are a total of 24 guards surrounding the arena, and their main purpose is simply to push the PC back into the pit if he manages to jump out. I said easy for encounter difficulty because I want an individual guard to be not much of a challenge.
Thanks in advance Richterbelmont. If I didn't explain something clearly enough I'll be happy clarify.
EDIT: I thought I might explain why I asked for three level four NPCs seperate instead of just asking for one level four enounter. The party only has three PCs, so I wanted to have these three GM controlled characters to accompany the PCs at different times so that most of the time the party has an even four charcters. Also they are important to the plot at some points.

Here are your NPC's. Note that I used some nonheroic levels, but I maintained the CL at 4. I felt that the nonheroic levels would achieve a more desired effect than strictly heroic levels. If that's not to your liking, I can remake the NPC's with heroic levels only.

Thank you so much! They are perfect. Another great bunch of NPCs by richterbelmont10.
Hey, just out of curiousity: Is it the actor Liam Neeson you like or the character Qui-Gon? Or the combo of the too? Just wondering because Qui-Gon has always been a favorite of mine as well.

Qui-Gon is my favorite character from Episode 1. No one else even comes close to being as cool as he was in that movie (not that he has much competition; that movie was littered with lame characters). Then they go and kill him off. That really hurt. The other reason I like him is because he reminds me of a character I used to play: A jedi knight named Richter Belmont. They both had long brown hair. Richter Belmont was my favorite character of all the RPG's I've ever played, and I've played a lot. Also, RB are my initials. Unfortunately, my evil GM killed my character in a final epic battle against Lord Abraxus, a dark side master. He died at level 10, hence the "10" in richterbelmont10.
As for Liam Neeson, I like him, but mostly because of the characters he plays, not because of his acting ability. I like Ras Al Goul from Batman Begins. That was one of my all-time favorite villains ever, especially because of his motivations and depth. I hate villains who are just, "I'm evil and I'm going to kill everyone. Ha ha ha..."

I never even saw him being played but I still feel sad that Richter Belmont died... And in the final battle too. In honor of this character that I have never actually seen I will end my current campaign when the PCs reach level 10. That was about where I wanted it to stop anyway.
Do you still remember his stats?
Villians without any depth annoy me. Its like sometimes people just make somebody evil just because they need a bad guy and they don't give any thought as to WHY they are evil. Oh well.

I appreciate the sentiment, but if you are having a good game, then keep going past level 10!
Yes, but they are in Revised Core Rulebook (the previous version of Star Wars RPG), not Saga Edition. Anyway, it's not his stats that made him fun, it was his leadership and coolness. Although he could kick butt with a lightsaber.

That's how I felt about the villain in Star Trek (the latest movie). I watched it again recently and I found the bad guy (Nero?) had no depth. He just waited around for about 20 years to take revenge.
