Don't forget about the Hutts  

 

 

I see Hutts as an entirely NPC species that are neither balanced nor really intended for PC play.  So while I appreciate the offer, I won't be including the giant slugs in the compilation file.

 

 

I agree. I've never seen a Hutt played well as a PC race. The fact that they largely become immobile after a certain age doesn't lend itself well to adventuring on the Outer Rim. Hutts are NPCs and plot devices.

Hey, I have a very well loved Hutt character that I play.  When a lot of your adventures take place on starships, being low mobility isn't as much of an issue.  And I'm only in my 120s, so I'll still slither my way there eventualy, I just have to set out for the track an hour earlier.

Na, your right, it takes a particular type of game to work with a Hutt PC, but it can happen.

A ship at sea is its own world. To be the captain of a ship is to be the unquestioned ruler of that world and requires all of the leadership skills of a prince or minister.

Well, here's an updated list of what is on tap for species at this point:

Aqualish
Bith
Cathar
Chadra-Fan
Chiss
Devaronians
Duros
Ewoks
Falleen
Farghul
Gamorreans
Gran
Gungans
Ithorians
Jawas
Klatoonians
Kubaz
Mon Calamari
Nikto
Noghri
Quarren
Shistavanen
Squibs
Sullustans
Togorians
Togruta
Verpine
Zabraks
Zeltrons

Whew!

One species shy of hitting 30, at which point I think Cyril and I should do a final run through of the stats and then I'll move onto prettying it up (adding some flavor text and images for each of the species).

 How about Weequay to put your book at 30?

I can't second this enough.  They belong here!   What about Ugnaughts?

I honestly don't know how I missed the Weequay. I had the freaking Klatooninians in there, but not the Weequay. Great suggestion.

Honestly, one could argue that they have a place in the warriors book (republic book), where as Ugnaughts don't.  Another species that would for sure be in this environment are the Kubaz.

I haven't had the time to do anything proper, but I was looking at the Noghri in the old WEG book alien encounter book (I think its called) … and looking at talents in EotE I thought feral strength might fit their martial art beard.

Thoughts?

Already got Noghri covered as per the list I posted earlier.  I tried to keep things simple, addressing not only their hand-to-hand training but inherent stealthiness as well.

 I have a player who'd love to play a Sakiyan.  It seems to me like they'd be appropriate for the time (they appear in the original trilogy and are connected to the Hutts and organized crime).  Anyone have any ideas for creating them as a race?  I was thinking increased Agility, decreased Presence and maybe an inherent rank in Perception?

Do we have an ETA for when this PDF of species will be available?

We're just finishing up the last of the species now. After that, it's a question of any refinement and the putting it together. I can't speak to a timeframe on that front as I'm not the one doing it, but I'll answer with the ubiquitous non-answer of "soon."

 Huzzah for ubiquitous answers!

Will the races that we see in this document follow the original style of race generation? Or are we going to see certain races getting free ranks in talents to match the changes made in Update 1?

Also… community, this was the hot thread for the first couple of weeks. Get back in the game. I want ALL TEH SPECIES!

There's a mix of both in there. Some species got free talent ranks, but only for species where it made sense for them to get free talent ranks. Some got a choice of where they wanted to put their free skill rank. Some got other unique special abilities.

I'm still working on some other ones that fall outside of the Rebellion Era and will continue to be posting them here.
