Building a jedi knight of the faith

(1/6) > >>

Ghostfreak:
So after 3 years my character in my dm's game has finally kicked the bucket. An I am now tasked with making a new characted. 19 refresh and 46 skill points. I am interested in building a modern day jedi knight of the cross whose faith is in the living force.

I would like some sound advice/opinions in this venture and a few examples of how faith abilities like the potent prayer in righteousness work exactly. An I want to know what would entail in being a wielder of the sword of faith?

Much thanks in advance!

you know its kinda ironic as the guy basically can create white council oil sheik in his tea break asks the forum to create himself a discount waldo butters with more jedi and less deadly doctor.

To be honest I am not a fan of playing wizards or spellcasters of any nature. Unless I am forced to do so, which thankfully I am not. Not to mention I always wanted to play a kotc once I understood the system a bit better. Though due to the crappy faith powers they get in the book, it made them a bit less appealing to me.
Though the sword was the main selling point. If my dm is not close minded then I'd run some of the faith powers for him to see if I can use them or not.

Also wanted to know, in the book grave peril. When Kelly, one of the vampire twins touched Michael and her arm bust into flames. What is that considered? A conviction attack? A compel?

I think it was out an out holly burns evil plus a bit of true fatherly love kicked in as Micheal was I remember trying to protect Molly thus his knight power kicked in and hurt the vampire. and I think it was stealth compelling of several aspects on both of sides ( knight of the cross is certainly invoked in that book because Michael was on the clock thanks to Harry.)

well, Jedi need to be trained. Fortunately, you have a Jewish Knight of the Cross who can do so.

Both Waldo and your PC will believe that a Jedi needs and more importantly can make a lightsaber. Given the Swords can be rebuilt, there's no particular reason why Waldo's Sword shouldn't be able to bud off the components necessary for the PCs blade.

While the Faith powers are pretty weak, simply put Holy Touch and Righteousness into the blade gives you a 1pt weapon that is pretty hard core, since the mundane and holy abilities now stack.
