Corran is a former is a former security officer (read police officer) from Corellia turn Jedi. This is a pretty good representation of Corran shortly after his almost complete training. At his best he's a PL 10 character, although later in life he should certianly add of beef up his skills, feats and other powers. Even in late EU he'd still be PL 10, although probably looking at having over 200pp used on traits. This is different then how I envision a Jedi like Luke progressing. Luke gets progressively more powerful with the abilities that he already has, occasionally adding a new trick to his repetoire, while Corran never becomes significantly more powerful but he does have a much broader set of abilities to draw on.

01/04 - Edt: corrected Corran's powers. I'd had him and Kyle confused. Corran has virtually no talent with moving objects through the Force, but he is a tremendous amount of natural talent at misdirection and illusions. While TK is certainly within his grasp (grasp! puntastic!) it tiring. In fact this is what caused his grandfather's death, he fatigued himself trying to retreive his lightsabre during a fight with a Dark Jedi. Oh, and just to be clear the Corellian Jedi, like all Corellians who act exactly like Han BTW, tell the Jedi order to get stuffed thus they would get married.

Cool Coran build. I Assume family reflects Mirax as well? If I can make one suggestion, add Loyal(Jan Larso) and Loyalty(Rouge Squadron). And possibly give him enough equipment for his X-Wing, as if I remember correctly, he owns his. I'm an X-Wing buff.

Possibly one of the most dangerous opponents that Luke and the gang have ever faced. A military genius Thrawn should played thinking ten steps ahead of everybody else, including his own crew. That being said he isn't so egotistical to not take the advice of this crew when they have a good idea. Beyond just having an intellect that would put Reed Richards to shame Thrawn is also and information junkie. He gathers and much information as possible and then uses that to formulate his master plans. In no situation should Thrawn be without a master plan, and his knowledge tactics should be more than high enough to let work his way out if his plan is disrupted for any reason.
Edit: Thought that I'd add I see Liam Neeson with blue skin when reading the Thrawn trilogy. Not sure why, but thats the person I get when picturing Thrawn. Just tossing that out there. Too bad he's alrady done Star Wars.

Thank you, and yes Family would be his family in particular. I think a Loyal would be quite effect there as well. As for equipment technically CorSec owns that X-Wing. Corran just borrowing it, for an extended period without CorSec's permission.

I was thinking about that, but first I need to stat up a generic X-Wing first. It probably going to require at least 10 more points in equipment for him to own the thing.

Kyle Katarn is a formidable combatant. He does maxiumum damage when attacking from suprise, but even without that he can manipulate his caps with ease.
While this is largely a book version of Kyle there are few nods to his origins as a video game character. The first is his Rank 3 Leap, the second is the force field. No other character in Star Wars has ever used one, but I thought that since it was so iconically associated with Kyle in the game he deserved to have one in his build.
According to to the literature Kyle is much better on the misdirection aspects of using the Force as opposed to direct manipulation of objects. Thus his base power is Illusion and has TK as tiring.

EDIT: BUH, me no like reading source material! Soy Kyle has normal Force usage. Its Corran that has the whole can't TK thing. So they get switched! As a bonus he comes out 5 points cheaper. Woohoo!

I think that basically encompasses Artoo. I was sorely tempted to give Artoo the no hands drawback, but he has enough tools and graspers that it wouldn't really count. I also wanted to give him the Sidekick feat so that I could make C-3PO his sidekick. I might still do that, but for now they're just an inseparable pair of wacky droids.

Awesome, I always was a R2D2 fan. You have the cost of the ability scores being -3, when I think you meant to list it as 13, and the Strike power might qualify for the Precise feat as it can be used as a tool. Otherwise, looks great.

Added Precise to the Strike power, and corrected some math.

Wait till you see me stat up the Yuuzhan Vong. I have something really special intedend for the amphistaff. It will be right nasty. Nasty I say! Bwahahahahaha!

(Me thinks that my predisposition for breaking into manical laughter is what has garnered be a villain roll in the Atomic Think Tank Crisis)

Oh and I updated Kyle Katarn and Corran Horn. Their powers have been swapped since I had the two of them confused to start with.

Wooh! Thrawn!

This is the minion that one of my players created for his character, or rather will be when he spends the points on minion. The creation of Mega-Jeeves started as bit of an in game joke. The character in question is a super-lucky rich guy. Has Benefit (Fabulous Wealth) and owns a robotics/electronics company. It starts out with him calling Jeeves up to do everything on his cell phone, from fetching food to driving the car, and Jeeves was always there no matter what. We joked that he never actually calls anybody, he just picks up his cell phone and tells Jeeves what to do. This evolved into the Jeeves being a robot connected to the cell phone/computer network at the character's estate. This eventually lead to Jeeves not being a single robot, but in point of fact many of the same model of robot butlers. So of course the character employs several of them at his home (using a construct version of the butler archetype), and we started joking that all the Jeeves' should form a single giant robot a la Voltron. We liked this. As such I give you Mega-Jeeves.
Mega-Jeeves is best described as looking like a 1950s style giant comic book robot mixed with a bit of Mega-Maid. The idea is that he looks like a giant robot in a butler's uniform. Each individual Jeeves is clearly robotic but looks much more human in appearnce, so the contrast is meant to be ultra-hightech looking androids (think I, Robot) with a totally boxy looking giant robot minion.

Mega-Jeeves

I approve, but wouldn't having a rank 10 Area attack (which doesn't require an attack roll) make him PL 10?

Trade-offs are the giant robot butler's friend! Its also technically a targetted attack. It works by making a single attack roll and anything in the area could be hit, but only if you beat their defense. Not likely with a +4 to hit.

And Yoda is done. Pretty easy all told. While he has a monstrously high TK power that I've APed everything else off of, Yoda doesn't really have that much in the way of powers, other than a dedicated Precog power. We've only seen Luke use a similar power, and I'd certainly call that using extra effort.
Yoda stacks up nicely against Palpatine, although our little green alien is certainly at a loss in the damage dealing department. While he's now slouch with a lightsabre, he can't compare with Palpy's ability to hurl large objects around, or blast guys with the power of the Dark Side.
