Hello :)

I'm creating a character and was looking for advice on classes and archetypes.

I have always loved the political side/the Senate of Star Wars. And I am wanting to create a character who is a political aide, or aide of a senator. My character is also a female Twi'lek.

I'm not really sure what to do with her in terms of classes etc.

Any advice would be much appreciated :)

I've just discovered this system and I like it a lot, especially how it converts a lot of D&D stuff into Star Wars friendly material. But one thing stuck out to me, why are so many of the healing powers able to be done at range?

"Healing" in Star Wars is either done via Force abilities or by bacta/kolto enhanced first aid, all of which is done via physical contact: a bacta patch, a stimpack, ect. Meanwhile, many of the healing powers, especially the tech powers that I've seen, are able to be done at a range of 60 feet! What is that even supposed to look like in a Star Wars setting?

I understand most of these powers are converting D&D spells, but I don't really understand why the system didn't seem to account for the different in-universe mechanics for healing wounds.

I'm just wondering here in SW5E, what are the stats for the Lucerhalk Class Ship??

So yeah which Era do you guys like most wether in canon or legends, it can even be a blank period that we know nothing about

Hi, new player here, and I am playing a Taung Mandalorian fighter during the old republic era (couple years after Mandalorians defeated at Malachor Vby Revan)in our first campaign trying this system. I am surrounded my force users and am wondering if there is a way I can a gain resistance to force damage without having to be a force user. Tried to convince my dm to let me tame a Ysalimar but rightfully denied lol. I know the feat Force Frustrater, but just want to see if there are any other potentially better options. Thanks Y’all.

Hey guys! So my DnD group decided to change it up and play Sw5e! We are really excited but the transfer of knowledge for me has been tricky with character building.

Basically to be a Blaster-based scout with a companion droid that can tank for me. Everything I'm seeing for companion droid scouts is the same "mounted combat" artillerist technique build. I'd rather just shoot and the droid tank Infront of me than it be my ride, and I'm unsure how to best do that or if I'm in the right class for it. Or, more flexibly, I'd also take being a melee ranger, and the droid have climb and shoot from high places? But I wouldnt be very tanky so im less inclined to do that. let me know your thoughts! Please be nice.

Update: looking into a high intl tech/blaster ranger with a possible beserker build for my turret droid to get it tankier

Looking for good fighting style/form pairings to go with a Guardian build, I *do not* want to dual wield/double weapon fight. I'd prefer a single blade, but am not married to the greatsaber/big chunky lightsabers.

I'm fine with a standard lightsaber or a crossguard saber, just looking for options that are good without 2 weapon/double bladed fighting
