Astral Projections: Evorra, Force Adherent

Design/Play Notes: This Knight Level PC is a little different from my usual character writeups, lacking a backstory, most notably. There are two reasons for this. First, this was originally simply a build exercise. I and some of my game group thought combining the Martial Artist spec (No Disintegrations) with the new Force Adherent universal spec (Dawn of Rebellion) would make a pretty powerful character. So I tried my hand at it, creating a warrior/monk type of Adherent, by picking talents mostly from the Martial Artist tree and the right side of the Force Adherent tree. (Talents on the left 2 columns are generally more scholarly.)

Second, I wanted the PC to be usable for any Force religion, not just a Guardian of the Whills–or a clone/homage to Chirrut. (Although I can understand the impulse, being a bit of a Chirrut fangirl myself.) This way, you can use any religion/Force tradition, either campaign-specific or from Canon or Legends/EU sources, and create a backstory that fits with that tradition.

Again, because I didn’t want to tie Evorra to a specific religion, I didn’t give her any equipment–but the 9,000 credits for Knight Level will go a long way. You can easily afford a Cortossis Staff or, if you are making a Guardian of the Whills, a Lightbow! For armor, I suggest the Concealing Robes or possibly, Padded Armor. Finally, I provide some possible Motivations, Obligations, and Duties, although others are certainly possible.
