New Heroic Classes

The Holovid superstar just loves to be the center of everyone's' attention.  Keen to entertain and amuse the masses.  Usually the would-be Holovid Superstar starts out on their homeworld.  A musician may play in local cantinas, an actor may travel with a small amateur dramatics society, and sports star may play for a small local team.  Once they hit the spotlight though fame, and possibly fortune, is theirs.  Their image is broadcast across the galaxy via the holonet (though this is much restricted during the Empires reign) and they soon become a household name, ready for the media to tear down with lies and made-up stories such as 'Lucy Starflair once dated Luke Skywalker shock!'  For a Holovid Superstar working for the Rebel Alliance things would become very tricky if they didn't go to great lengths to hide their identity.  As their career progresses the superstar eventually branches out into another line of work.  A model may become a singer, or an actor.  Likewise, a sports entertainer may go into acting.  Be it rain or shine, for the Holovid Superstar 'The Show must go on.'

Dark Side Heroic Class

Dark Jedi

Some people or creatures are just born evil without any influences.  Others are taught evil from an early age.  Such teachings are the ways of Dark Cults.  The Dark Jedi may follow the teachings of the Jedi, but he follows his own code on conduct.  A Dark Jedi sees the force as a means of gaining power.  Using the force to cheat, steal and kill is often acceptable, although even Dark Siders have their own morals.  Eventually the Dark Side takes hold of the Dark Jedi's heart and any final morals are vanquished.  The path of the Dark Side is not a pleasant one.  The Dark Jedi will start to pay the toll of the Dark Side with their mind or body, and eventually both.  Only few Dark Jedi are able to keep a grip on the Darkness that would destroy them.  These are the Dark Jedi of legend that command Dark Armies and bend the Dark Side to their will.

Class Skills: As Jedi Guardian (RCR page 62)

Starting feats: As Jedi Guardian (RCR page 62)

Vitality: D8 + Con     Skill Points: 4 + INT

As Jedi Guardian (RCR page 62) with the following additions.

Dark Side Rage - At 4th level, and every 4 levels thereafter, the Dark Jedi gains Dark Side Rage once per day.  For a single attack action the Dark Jedi may add his Dark Side Point total to either his attack or Damage.  The Dark Side Rage bonus can be split between attack and damage on the same action.  The Dark Jedi automatically gains a Dark Side point for using Dark Side Rage.

Demands of the Dark Side - at 5th level, and every five levels thereafter, the Dark Jedi receives an additional Dark Side Point.

Demands of the Dark Side

At first the Dark Side is easier.  Quicker.  More seductive.  Once you give yourself over to evil it then starts to take it's toll.  Promises of reward are met with terrible consequences.  A Dark Side character may age much quicker than normal, develop phobias and even change their personality altogether.

When a character reaches 20 Dark Side Points the Dark Side starts to take its toll on them.

Roll 1D20 and consult the table below.

From then on they gain another affliction for every 10 Dark Side Points. So roll at 20, 30, 40 etc.

A PC can choose to lose a Dark Side Point at any time at the expense of a Force Point provided it is not their only force point.

Understanding the Demands of the Dark Side Table

Immediate effect - Once the affliction has been determined the change listed in this column is immediately made the players character sheet.  This effect is permanent.

 Saving throw  - Some afflictions cause ongoing effects that can be overcome with a successful saving throw.  Depending on the affliction the Saving throw could be made once a day (in the case of Dementia) or simply when the situation arises (such as Claustrophobia).

Ongoing effects - Should a situation arise where the effects of the Dark side Demands could affect the PC they must make the relevant saving throw.  eg. A Dark Jedi suffering from Claustrophobia must make a Willpower saving throw DC 20 if he tries to ender a small space such as a turbolift.  Some effects have continuous effects eg. Dementia.  How often they must make their Saving throws is GM discretion.

Failed Save - This is the effects if a saving throw was failed.

* these effects are continuous
