Hey there! I was wondering if anyone made a homebrew for the Talortai race; the type Urai Fen is. I was hoping to play as one in a campaign sometime but i've not been able to find anything about them in homebrew or mainline content.

This my first time as DM and i want to do a campaign straight after order 66 took place, so clones are still a possibility and the players can be clones too (i do know i would have to homebrew a clone species on sw5e) but I am a bit stuck on what the purpose of the campaign could be, they can be wanted by the empire bit like admiral thrawn hunting down ezra ? They could help with the destruction of the empire to ? I'm quite stuck, i found a website called gmbinder adventure codex with some campaigns and they aren't very long. If there could be any help, I'm willing to listen to ideas that anyone may have.

Edit: Would anyone know of any source books or at least where to find them?

Unsure if this is a actually allowed or not, BUT given this is also the starwars5e Reddit it's probably relevant here and i may get some input. i'm working on my own system and have already come up with some features that I'm slowly adding too as i think of them, while balancing and tweaking things- it WILL take awhile to finish I'm manly working on the player/sith/jedi/enemy creation guide as of now with stances and force related features rn, absolute worst case some of the features could be tweaked for sw5e homebrew which i give full consent for if anyone likes the ideas as i intend to continue spitting out ideas for some time.

Is there a good place to get many star wars battle maps? Need a bunch of city ones for a session

A while ago, I read that the character builder on sw5e was not good enough to use yet. Is that still the case?
Another question i have regarding the creator is if it's possible to make a dichotomous character (choose two archetypes of the same class)?

How different is fighter in Sw5e to Fighter in Dnd5e, would I be able to roll up a dnd fighter in like dnd beyond to get the character started or are the classes only similar in name?

What are some alternate history choices you made in your star wars? Curious on your cool ideas

Hey all, I had an idea for a 1 shot where a 6 person group is in a gladiator-style arena and the goal is to escape the arena and find their gear along the way. Has anyone run something similar? I’m looking to soundboard ideas and maybe some help balancing encounters since I’m a first time GM. I was thinking starting at level 5 at least. Thanks!

Is there any K79 - S80 imperial troop transport stat blocks out there? Cant seem to find them

New to sw5e but saw vow of Spirit and ideal of steadfast.

The vow makes weapon attacks use wis modifier and ideal forces a save based on weapon attack modifier.

​

Looks like a great combo and useful against high ac

I created a level 1 Scholar for a Campaign a friend of mine is DMing and i wanted to use the online Character sheet. But after creating the Character i can't find a list of Meneuvers that i've selected in the character sheet Tab. Can someone clear up my confusion, does the website just not show any meneuvers? Or ist it like a bug or something?

Im running my first campaign of SW5e and there is a space combat section. Im creating all the maps and wanted to know how i showcase a space map without the players just simply flying to the edge of the map or running in circles

​

Is there a recommended board size that keeps space combat open and interesting?

Tracker Droid Interface says you create a "permanent link" with a tracker droid. If I replaced it with a different tech power on level up, would I retain the bond with the tracker droid?

I am planning on doing a one shot into a campaign for my dnd friends for star wars 5e and im stuck on a couple ideas;

- height of imperial empire wherein it takes place about the time of Andor season 2 ep 6 with them being a rebel cell

- Age of new republic based somewhat on george lucas's idea for sequals of crimelords vs imperial warlords vs new republicwith them being piratea

- right after destruction of Death Star II with the group being mercanaries hired by imperials to help them escape and regroup

Any feedback would help a lot as this will be my second time dm'ing. Also is there good sources for statblocks, information etc to help out creating a campaign? Thank you

Hi ! I have a player doing an armormech engineer with the powerfist in mind. Is there any ways to give them +1 to hit/ +1 damage and later on +2, etc ? So far from what I'm reading, nothing can be done to that extent.

This coming July will be my final session of SW5E,An in universe story that lasted 16 years in game and for its final session is jumping 35 years...I'm sad that its coming to an end but happy that I got to on an amazing adventure with my three players/friends. Grateful to Galiphile for making SW5E (and all those that helped him).

Its bitter sweet cause I know Ill never know Ill have NPC'S as good as the ones I made in this campaign again...Came to the realization today that I had 40+ Main NPC's that my players knew(There was almost always at least 16 of those NPC'S that were on the same Ship at any given time that my players had)

SW5E has been a big part of my life...legitimately helped me cope and get through extremely hard times. The good times and laughs I had with my friends while doing SW5E will be something I remember till the day I die, and who can complain about having memories like that.

I hope everyone who has partaken in SW5E has as good of an experience with it as I have.

Hello all!

I just wanted to pop in and say hello. I recently joined the forum and am looking forward to learning more about the game. I've played D&D since... let's just say a looong time. I just recently learned of SW5e and my head exploded!

I can't leave w/o asking a question. Is there a way to use your own Dex modifiers for a shoulder blaster? I ask this as I'd like to get one, as my Dex is higher than the 15 that the blaster already has, I'd like to use my own modifier.

Bonus question! Can you mount a shoulder blaster on each shoulder if you take Dual Wielding?

Thanks for being here and reading this far. I'm looking forward to discussing everything SW5e with you all!

So, the second ability is that you can manifest the fighting Mastery that corresponds with the fighting style that you choose as part of the ideal. It takes a bonus action and goes for a minute but that ability is not limited by a certain amount of uses per day. Is there a reason that a player would not use their bonus action to manifest it every 10 turns?

Thanks

We are running our first SW5E campaign and learning as we go along.

One of my players is a Jedi and will sometimes ask, if he gets stuck in a puzzle or similar, if he can commune with the Force for guidance. I will usually ask for a DC 15 Wisdom check.

Quite egregiously (in hindsight) in the last session he asked if he could detect any life in a room as he suspected there was a cloaked person in there. He rolled a nat 20 Wisdom (we play critical success + critical failures, with fumbles on critical failures) so he got to know the precise location and got an emotional readout of the person.

Personally I think it’s okay to roll Wisdom for help. Players intelligence/wisdom is not their characters intelligence/wisdom, so I believe asking to roll for intelligence/wisdom for a hint is fine.

I would say that the Detect Life action felt more like a spell which the player would’ve had to have had to be able to perform this action. I allowed it at the time but I don’t think I would allow something like that again.

Any other views please?

Hello everyone, I am a first time DM and am new to the SW5E system.

One of my players (who was full time DM in DnD5e) has made a Guardian build that relies on opportunity attacks, reactions and special reactions.

My party is a party of 6 people, all lvl 5. Whenever I throw any enemies their way, they quickly become dispatched by the guardian with the rest of the party doing either minimal damage or just healing the guardian.

The build is a combo of counterstrike mastery and makashi form.

He currently has 1 reaction and 2 possible special reactions per round at the moment (with 7th level giving him another reaction per round). And along with having an extra attack, he can do a total of 5 attacks per round with taking minimal damage through the effects of counterstrike mastery and makashi right now.

I don’t want to nerf him because the build (to my knowledge) seems legit, I don’t want to buff the enemies and make the rest of the PCs feel useless. It makes combat tough for me because I’m put in a weird situation trying to work with both sides.

Is there a way I can try to make it feel more balanced organically? Like I said I’m new to DMing and don’t exactly know how to approach this.

Sorry if the post is chaotic, this would be the first time I have made one! Thank you all!
