Defenses: A follower has Defense scores equal to 15 + ¾ your heroic level + the relevant ability score modifier. Any bonus to Reflex Defense from armor does not stack with the bonus from your heroic level. If the follower is wearing armor, use the higher of the two bonuses. Additionally, a follower gains a +2 bonus to the Defense score of your choice.

Hit Points: A follower has 12 + Con modifier hit points at first level, and 1d4 + Con modifier hit points for each other level.

Ability Scores: A follower's ability scores are generated through planned generation. Use 12 points.



Animal Companion Followers
Animal companions generate statistics as normal followers with the following exceptions.

Species: Animal companions do not gain species traits, but gain either low-light vision or scent. Animal companions are either medium or large sized. Large animal companions take a -1 size penalty to Reflex Defense and a -5 size penalty to Stealth checks. Their lifting and carrying limits are double those of Medium creatures. An animal companion's base speed is 6 squares.

Ability Scores: Medium animal companions have abilities as follows. Strength 14, Dexterity 10, Constitution 12, Wisdom 10, Intelligence 2, Charisma 8
Large animal companions have these abilities, except +2 Strength, -2 Dexterity. Further, an animal companion gains a +2 bonus to either Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, or Wisdom.

Feats: Animal Companions do not gain starting feats as normal. Animal companions receive the Power Attack and Toughness feats and a single appropriate Skill Training.

Natural Weapon: When an animal companion makes an unarmed attack, it can use its natural weapon, dealing 1d6 damage (plus its Strength modifier) if Medium, or 1d8 (plus its Strength modifier) if Large instead of normal unarmed damage. The type of the damage is either slashing, piercing, or bludgeoning, chosen at creation. An animal companion is considered trained with its natural weapon.

Share Spells: Any spell you activate that targets you may target your animal companion instead, at your discretion.

An item requires one day of work per 1,00 copper of the price of the item. A new Craft check is required for each day of work. If you fail a check by 4 or less, you make no progress on that day. If you fail a check by 5 or more, you ruin some raw materials and have to pay one-quarter of the item's original price again.

If you succeed on a DC 15 Spellcraft check, you know how many magic auras are within range, their approximate distance and direction from you, and the relative strength of the aura. A location with strong magical energy can be sensed out to a distance of 1 kilometer. Another magic user within range can try to conceal her presence from you by making an opposed Spellcraft check. If she equals or exceeds your Spellcraft check, you don't sense her presence at all.

Feats
Force Sensitivity is renamed Magical Sensitivity.

Agile Athletics
Prerequisite: Trained in the Acrobatics skill.
Benefit: You may use your Dexterity bonus in place of your Strength bonus on the check modifier for Climb and Jump checks.

Enchant Item
Prerequisites: Intelligence 17, trained in Craft (wondrous item), 9th level.
Benefit: Select one of the following: armor, weapons, constructs, or devices. You can enchant the selected type of object. These enchantments stack with any traits granted by the Master Craftsman feat. You must pay one-fifth the cost of the device, armor, weapon, or construct you wish to enchant, or 2,000 copper pieces, whichever is more, on components before beginning the enchantment. Enchanting the item requires 1 day per 1,000 copper of the enchantment's cost. At the end of this time, make a DC 30 Craft (wondrous item) check; you cannot take 10 or take 20 on this check. If the check succeeds, the enchantment is completed successfully. If the check fails, you lose all copper pieces spent on components, and the object does not gain the desired enchantment. However, you can start again if you wish. Only characters with the Enchant Item feat can assist you, reducing proportionately the time needed to complete the enchantment. At the end of the process, they can make a Craft (wondrous item) check to aid your check. The market value of an enchanted item is equal to base cost of the item plus double the cost of the enchantment (not including copper wasted on failed attempts).

Incantations

Incantations are used to add more powerful forms of magic to the setting. Being aware of a incantation requires a Knowledge (arcana) check with a DC 15 lower than the incantation's casting DC. Actually finding the set of instructions for a particular incantation requires access to magical texts and a Knowledge (arcana) check with a DC 10 lower than the incantation's casting DC.

Casting an incantation requires a number of successful skill checks. Unless otherwise specified, the caster makes a skill check every 10 minutes. If checks involving more than one skill are required, the checks may be made in any order. Failing one check means that 10 minutes have gone by and the incantation is in danger of failing. If two skill checks in a row are failed, the incantation fails. Each incantation has a consequence associated with failure. If an incantation fails, all casting components are still consumed. You cannot take 10 when casting an incantation.

Casting an incantation does not provoke an attack of opportunity, and a caster can even pause the ritual for a short time to take some other action. For each round the incantation is interrupted, the DC of all subsequent skill checks to complete the casting increase by 1.

Incantations usually require more magical energy than any one person has. Secondary casters are necessary for the incantation to succeed. Anyone trained in the Spellcraft skill can be a secondary caster. Secondary casters cannot use the aid another action to help with checks made during an incantation. One caster is always the primary caster (usually the one with the highest Spellcraft modifier). The primary caster makes the relevant checks. However, if an incantation requires a check using a skill other than Spellcraft, any secondary caster can make that check. If the primary caster or a secondary caster is killed, another bystander can take her place.
A character who is not trained in the Spellcraft skill can act as a secondary caster by spending a Hero Point at the beginning of the incantation.

Chapter 5: Combat & Equipment

Weapon Proficiency Groups
Simple Weapons: The easiest of weapons to use. Daggers, clubs, spears, slings, and crossbows are examples of simple weapons. Simple weapons usually deal 1 die of damage.
Advanced Melee Weapons: Sword, Warhammer, Battleaxe, etc. Advanced melee weapons usually deal 2 dice of damage. This represents superior weaponry and training.
Advanced Ranged Weapons: Bows and superior thrown weapons usually deal 2 dice of damage.
Note you can throw an advanced melee weapon without advanced ranged weapon proficiency, but it only deals 1 die of damage.

Unless otherwise noted, anything that affects pistols, affects crossbows instead. Anything that affects rifles, affects bows. Anything that affects lightsabers, affects advanced melee weapons instead.

Armored Lifestyle
Armor is everywhere. To reflect this, any character wearing armor with which he is proficient, may choose to add either his armor bonus or his heroic level to Reflex Defense. Additionally, armor movement restrictions are swapped. When running in medium armor you can only move up to 3 times your speed. Heavy armor has the same restriction on running and reduces your speed as well (6 to 4, 4 to 3).


Weapons
You can figure out the basic weapon formula to make your own. It's d4 -> d6 -> d8 -> d10 based on size with a good special ability knocking it down one step. Double weapons are down two steps. Feel free to create an advanced version of a simple weapon for a player (for example, a warspear dealing 2 dice of damage).



Bayonet: Bayonets are affixed to the end of a medium or large crossbow. Fighting with a bayonet requires two hand, but you do not apply 2 times your Strength bonus to damage.

Bola: A bola allows you to initiate a grab or grapple against a character at range. A character can escape a bola with a DC 15 Acrobatics check or a DC 20 Strength check. You can use the Trip feat with a bola, but not the Crush, Pin, or Throw feats.

Bows: A bow must be used two-handed regardless of size. You add your Strength modifier to damage rolls with a bow. A bow has ranges as follows: Point Blank 0-30 squares; Short 31-60 squares; Medium 61-150 squares; Long 151-300 squares.

Chain, Spiked: The spiked chain has reach but still may be used to attack adjacent opponents.

Crossbows: Crossbows of your size or smaller can be reloaded as a move action. Crossbows larger than your size requires a full-round action to reload. Reloading a crossbow requires two hands and provokes attacks of opportunity. You can fire, but not load, a crossbow smaller than your size with one hand. You can shoot a crossbow smaller than your size with each hand, but you take a penalty on attack rolls as if attacking with two light weapons. Crossbows have ranges as follows: Point Blank 0-30 squares; Short 31-60 squares; Medium 61-150 squares; Long 151-300 squares.

Lance: Lances can be used as if one size smaller while mounted. (Note: Lance should be large and deal 2d10 damage)

Net: A net allows you to initiate a grab or grapple against a character at range. A character can escape a net with a DC 15 Acrobatics check or a DC 20 Strength check. You can use the Pin feat with a net, but not the Crush, Throw, or Trip feats.

Rapier: You can use the Weapon Finesse feat to apply your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier to attack rolls with a rapier sized for you, even though it isn’t a light weapon for you. You can’t wield a rapier in two hands in order to apply 2 times your Strength bonus to damage.

Reach: Weapons with reach can be used to make attacks against targets 1 square further than your normal reach. However, reach weapons cannot be used to attack adjacent targets.

Repeating Crossbow: The repeating crossbow holds 5 crossbow bolts. As long as it holds bolts, you can reload it by pulling the reloading lever (a free action). Loading a new case of 5 bolts is a full-round action that provokes attacks of opportunity. A repeating crossbow must be used two-handed.

Shield Bash: You can bash an opponent with a light or medium shield, using it as a weapon. If you use your shield to attack, you lose its bonus Reflex Defense until the beginning of your next turn. Making a shield bash requires proficiency with the shield.

Sling: Your Strength modifier applies to damage rolls when you use a sling, just as it does for thrown weapons. Loading a sling is a move action that requires two hands and provokes attacks of opportunity. Slings have ranges as follows: Point Blank 0-20 squares; Short 21-40 squares; Medium 41-60 squares; Long 61-80 squares.

Spiked Armor: Spiked Armor can only be used to deal damage during a grapple as a light weapon would.

Thrown: Thrown weapons have ranges as follows: Point Blank 0-6 squares; Short 7-8 squares; Medium 9-10 squares; Long 11-12 squares.

Whip: A whip improves your reach by 2 squares and can still be used to attack adjacent characters. However, you do not threaten this area with a whip and cannot make attacks of opportunity with a whip. You can use the Weapon Finesse feat to apply your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier on attack rolls with a whip sized for you, even though it isn't a light weapon for you. Whips deal no damage and are primarily used to disarm or trip opponents at a range. Alternatively, a whip can have a blade affixed to the end, dealing 1d4 slashing damage.

Shields: Shields provide a shield bonus to Reflex Defense which stacks with all other bonuses to Reflex Defense. You lose your shield bonus to Reflex Defense when you are flat-footed. Additionally, when wielding a shield you count as being trained in the Acrobatics skill for the purposes of fighting defensively (this provides no benefit if you are already trained in Acrobatics).

Shield Proficiency: If you are proficient with light armors, you are also proficient with bucklers and light shields. If you are proficient with medium armor, you are also proficient with medium shields. If you are proficient with heavy armor, you are also proficient with heavy shields. Armor check penalties from armor and shields stack.

Buckler: A buckler is strapped to your offhand arm. It doesn't require a hand to use, but if you use your offhand for anything else (such as fighting with two weapons, or one weapon wielded in two hands), you lose the buckler's bonus to Reflex Defense until the beginning of your next turn.


Alchemical Items

Alchemist's Fire: Alchemist's Fire is one type of dangerous alchemical cocktail. When thrown it explodes in a 2x2 square area, and deals 4d6 fire damage. When you make an area attack with Alchemist's Fire, make a single attack roll and compare the result to the Reflex Defense of every target in the burst's area. Creatures you hit take full damage, and creatures you miss take half damage. A target with the Evasion talent takes half damage from a successful attack and no damage if the attack misses.

Healing Potion: A healing potion can be consumed as a move action. The creature consuming it regains a number of hit points equal to his character level plus 5. That creature can then not benefit from another healing potion for 24 hours.

Smokestick: When activated (a move action), a smokestick instantly fills a 2x2 square area with thick smoke, granting concealment to all inside the area.

Sunrod: When ignited (a move action), a sunrod glows brightly in a 6 square radius for 6 hours.

Tanglefoot Bag: Tanglefoot bags are thrown at a target. If the attack roll equals or exceeds the target's Reflex Defense, the target cannot move on its next turn.

Tindertwig: A tindertwig makes fire. Lighting a fire with a tindertwig is a standard action (rather than a full-round action).

Thunderstone: Thunderstones are thrown, exploding over a 2x2 square area. Make a single attack roll vs every target in the area. If the roll equals or exceeds both a target's Reflex Defense and Fortitude Defense, the target moves -2 steps along the condition track.

Chapter 7: Creatures

Constructs
Abilities: Constructs are nonliving entities and do not have Constitution scores. Constructs don't gain bonus hit points and add their Strength modifier to Fortitude Defense instead. They gain ability score increases as normal.

Nonliving: Constructs don't need to sleep, eat, or breathe.
Constructs are immune to poison, mind-affecting effects, stunning effects, and any other effect that only works on living targets.
Constructs don't die but they can be disabled or destroyed. If one is reduced to 0 hit points, it is disabled and cannot be reactivated until it is repaired so that is has at least 1 hit point. If the attack that reduced the construct to 0 hit points also exceeds the construct's damage threshold, the construct is instead destroyed and cannot be repaired.

Repair: Constructs regain lost hit points only through use of the Craft (Construct) skill. A construct can use this skill to repair itself but takes it a -5 penalty on its check.

Skills: Mindless constructs normally cannot use any skill untrained except Acrobatics, Climb, Jump, and Perception.

Undead
Undead have the same qualities as Constructs, except Undead cannot be repaired through use of the Craft skill. In fact, Undead cannot usually regain hit points in any fashion. If an undead creature is reduced to 0 hit points, it is destroyed and cannot be brought back.

Intelligent Undead & Constructs
Undead and Constructs aren't always mindless. Intelligent Constructs and Undead creatures lose their immunity to mind-affecting effects and do not have the normal limitation on untrained skills.

Natural Craftsman: Gnomes add Craft to the list of their class skills.  In addition, a Gnome may choose to reroll any Craft check, but the result of the reroll must be accepted even if it's worse.
Automatic Languages: Common and Gnome

Bold is mine.  Either that or the reroll and CBF for SF (Craft).


SPELLCASTING


As Force Training, except you can pick any mental ability score to determine your spells known, and you choose a power source, such as arcane or divine.  Call this Magical Training.

As a stopgap, every spell requires a roll of 10 + (One-half 3.X Spell level, rounded up x 5) to cast.

New Feat: Wizard Training

Prerequisite: Magical Training with INT as chosen ability score.
Benefit: You gain a spellbook, a book that holds up to thirty spells of any level.  At the beginning of each day, add up the total level of all spells you have chosen thus far with Magical Training; each day, you pick any number of spells with a total spell level equal to that number from your spellbook and replace your chosen spells with those.  You may select the same spell multiple times.  However, your Intelligence score counts as two points lower for the purposes of Magical Training.  (This does cause you to lose a power known per Magical Training upon taking this feat.)

Converted Feat: Precocious Apprentice

Benefit: Choose a spell of any level.  You gain a +5 bonus to activate that spell.  Whenever you attempt a Spellcraft roll to cast that spell, if you fail by 10 or more, you suffer a mishap. A mishap means that magical energy gets released but it doesn’t do what you wanted it to do.Possible mishaps are given below.

    * A surge of uncontrolled magical energy deals 1d6 points of damage per spell level to the scroll user.
    * Spell strikes the scroll user or an ally instead of the intended target, or a random target nearby if the scroll user was the intended recipient.
    * Spell takes effect at some random location within spell range.
    * Spell’s effect on the target is contrary to the spell’s normal effect.
    * The scroll user suffers some minor but bizarre effect related to the spell in some way. Most such effects should last only as long as the original spell’s duration, or 2d10 minutes for instantaneous spells.
    * Some innocuous item or items appear in the spell’s area.
    * Spell has delayed effect. Sometime within the next 1d12 hours, the spell activates. If the scroll user was the intended recipient, the spell takes effect normally. If the user was not the intended recipient, the spell goes off in the general direction of the original recipient or target, up to the spell’s maximum range, if the target has moved away.


CONVERTED TALENTS

WARRIOR TALENT TREE: DEFENSIVE COMBAT

Block: As Block, but with any melee weapon and keyed off your TAB with your current weapon.

Riposte: As Riposte, but once per round instead of once per encounter.

Deflect Arrows: As Deflect, but only functions against arrows and bolts and keyed off your TAB with your current weapon.

I already gave crafting to the dwarves. Maybe gnomes though, dwarves get other cool stuff.

I want to keep a certain amount of MAD in the spellcasting. Which means I can either change the number of powers stat or the skill modifier stat. Leaving spellcraft alone is probably for the best. I think it should be a feat, instead of included in magical training.

Studied Spellcaster
Prerequisite: Intelligence 13, Magical Training
Your Intelligence bonus applies to Magical Training instead of your Wisdom bonus.

Precocious Apprentice is a good idea, I'm worried about it stacking with skill focus at low levels. I'd rather not add a magical mishap mechanic to everyday spells either.

I hadn't thought of those talents for the warrior, but I was planning on sticking those jedi talents like elusive target somewhere.

That was my thought.  What I would do is keep gnomes as I said them, and give dwarves the CBF.

Well, my thought was that there'd be a series of the ones I did above -- except for Charisma.  IE, you can either have no MAD or feats to improve casting.

It's designed to.  Under the current system, if you pick it at first level for anything higher than level 2, you stand a pretty good chance of suffering a mishap.  Besides ,there's nothing wrong with mishaps, and it represents the intent of the feat well.

I would put Elusive Target in Scout.  If Scout is your Rogue, do a massive tree re-org and put all the evasive abilities together.

I'm having trouble reorganizing talent trees. Here's how many we need.

Magic-User talent trees.

Magic talent tree.

Good and Evil talent trees.

Hero talent tree. (some talents seem more like new functions of force points)

I think the magic-user trees will be:
Spellcaster- for a broad range of magical effects and stuff makes you casting better
Mageknight- for using magic to make your kung fu better
Oracle- for divinations, abjurations, and other sense stuff

[tsuyoshikentsu]

Magic-User talent trees.

Alacritous Cogitation: When you select this power, choose one spell in your spell suite.  As a reaction, you may remove a use of any spell in your suite to add an extra use of the spell designated by this talent.  Doing so moves you -1 step down the condition track.  This persistent condition is removed by resting for one minute.  You may select this talent multiple times.  Each time you do, choose a different spell in your spell suite.

Magical Focus: You may make a DC 15 Spellcraft check as a full-round action to regain one spent spell of your choice.

Magical Savant: Prerequisite: Magical Focus.  Once per encounter, as a swift action, you may return a use of any spell to your spell suite without spending an action point.

Magical Power: Prerequisite: School Specialization.  Whenever you roll a natural 20 on a Spellcraft check to activate a power from your specialized school, you may choose to use that spell again as a free action.  You may direct the second use of that spell against any eligible target.

School Specialization:  When you select this talent, choose one school to be your specialized school and one to be your prohibited school.  When you take the Magical Training feat, if you select a spell from your specialized school, you may add one extra spell of that school to your spell suite for free.  You can gain only one extra spell from this talent each time you take the Magical Training feat, regardless of how many spells of your specialized school you add.  If you have taken Magical Training before you select this talent, you may add one free spell from your specialized school to your spell suite for each time you took Magical Training before taking this talent and selected a spell from your specialized school.  Whenever you take Magical Training, including the level at which you gain this talent, you way not add spells from your prohibited school to your spell suite.

Magic talent tree.

Different from Magic-User how?

Good and Evil talent trees.

I'll convert some Light Side/Sentinel and Dark Side/DSDevotee talents for you later.

Hero talent tree.

This is very unclear.

(some talents seem more like new functions of force points)

Example?

I think the magic-user trees will be:
Spellcaster- for a broad range of magical effects and stuff makes you casting better
Mageknight- for using magic to make your kung fu better
Oracle- for divinations, abjurations, and other sense stuff

Specialist, what I'd call the above tree I just did, is basically Spellcaster.  Mageknight isn't really the dominion of a talent tree.  Oracle can just use some sense stuff; I'll do that one later too.

The magic talent tree replaces the force talent tree. The Hero tree is a new tree for anyone with force points (renamed hero points). Force Momentum (kotor) is a good example. When you spend a Force Point to add to a melee attack roll, you can also apply the result to your damage roll. There's nothing particularly magic about that. And it's distinctly unmagic if you change force to hero.

Help balancing these walls?

Energy Barrier
Time: Standard. Target: Unoccupied area within 12 squares and line of sight.
Make a Spellcraft check. You create a wall of energy, in any unoccupied area, entirely within 12 squares. The wall is 2 squares high, and always a straight line. Any creature moving through the energy barrier takes damage as determined by the result of your Spellcraft check. The barrier persists until the beginning of your next turn.
DC 20: The wall is up to 2 squares long and deals 2d6 energy damage.
DC 25: The wall is up to 3 squares long and deals 3d6 energy damage.
DC 30: The wall is up to 4 squares long and deals 4d6 energy damage.
DC 35: The wall is up to 5 squares long and deals 5d6 energy damage.
Special: You may maintain the barrier from round to round. Maintaining Energy Barrier is a move action.
You can spend a Hero Point during any round the barrier is in effect to make the energy more intense, dealing its damage to any creature within 1 square of the wall.


Solid Wall
Time: Standard action. Target: Unoccupied area within 12 squares and line of sight.
Make a Spellcraft check. You create a solid wall, in any unoccupied area, entirely within 12 squares. The wall is always a straight line. Each square of the wall has 15 hit points per inch of thickness, and damage reduction 8. A creature may try to break to break through the wall with a single attack, the DC for this Strength check is 20 + 2 per inch of thickness. The wall counts as a rough surface (DC 25) to climb. If the wall is used in any way to trap a creature, the Spellcraft check must also equal or exceed the creature's Reflex Defense, or the creature can move 1 square to the other side of the wall as a reaction.
DC 20: The wall is up to 2 squares long, 1 square high, and 1 inch thick.
DC 25: The wall is up to 3 squares long, 2 squares high, and 2 inches thick.
DC 30: The wall is up to 4 squares long, 2 squares high, and 3 inches thick.
DC 35: The wall is up to 5 squares long, 3 squares high, and 4 inches thick.
Special: You may maintain the wall from round to round. Maintaining Solid Wall is a move action.


Force Technique:
Improved Walls or Something: Your walls from the Energy Barrier or Solid Wall spells need not be straight lines. They may turn, bend, or entirely wrap around a creature.


Magic Talent Tree:
Wall of Force: Your Solid Wall spell creates a wall of sheer force. Its damage reduction improves by 2 as well as the DC of the Strength check required to break it. Finally, the wall is unclimbable, as a perfectly smooth surface.

Giving this a bump after a big update. I'm finally happy with this. If you want to play SAGA in a fantasy setting, this'll do ya.

I'll just be adding to the Monster Manual over time.

[j0lt]

Looks good so far!  Keep up the good work!

[Senevri]

that is not dead which may eternal lie, And with strange eons even death may die...
Raise, thread!

This is interesting, obviously. It just got me thinking about force points (magic points) and destiny points.... Destiny points allow you to affect whole star systems at the same time... Epic points!

[Soda]

I've been thinking about this project. I don't think I'll invest any more time into it. I could make a pretty D&D skin, but I think it works fine being reflavored on the fly. Just take anything printed in SAGA and make up anything you can't find rules for. The balance point isn't difficult to find. Here's the updated Heroic Class, making this effectively a classless system.

Heroic Class

Hit Points: 18 + Con modifier at 1st level, 1d6 + Con modifier at each other level.

Defense Bonuses: +2 to one defense, and +1 to another; OR +1 to each defense.
   At 8th heroic level, your defenses improve to +4 to one, and +2 to another; OR +2 to each defense.
   At 13th heroic level, your defenses improved to +6 to one, and +3 to another; OR +3 to each defense.

Base Attack Bonus: +1 base attack bonus at each level.

Class Skills (trained in 3 + Int modifier): Every skill is considered a class skill for the Heroic Class.

Starting Feats: Weapon Proficiency (simple weapons)
   6 feats chosen from the following:
      Advanced Weapon Proficiency, Armor Proficiency (any), Exotic Weapon Proficiency, Linguist, Magical Sensitivity, Skill Training, Toughness.

Talents: Every odd level.

Bonus Feats: Every even level.

Copper Pieces: 3d4x250 at 1st level.



Toughness adds 5 additional HP. Prestige classes are replaced by just using the talent trees after level 7 if you meet the prerequisites of the PrC.

[Senevri]

basically use the special abilities track as a talent tree? Yeah, that'll work.
