The Path Less Traveled is a regular series in which I\u2019ll be examining a single specialization from the Star Wars<\/em>Edge of the Empire\/Age of Rebellion\/Force and Destiny\u00a0lines of games. The purpose and hope is to take a look at a specialization that perhaps many players might overlook or ones that are somewhat new to the game lines. We will look at strengths and weaknesses, synergies with other species and specializations, roles in a party, how to incorporate them into a campaign, and perhaps some uses which are not always obvious at first glance.<\/em><\/p>\n

Overview<\/h3>\n

This edition of The Path Less Traveled comes in from Chase LeMaster from the d20 Facebook page<\/a>. \u00a0It’s a specialization that no one in any of my campaigns has chosen, and I’ve not heard of it used much at all. \u00a0That specialization is the Recruit<\/em>. \u00a0Considered a “generic” specialization, it sits apart in the Age of Rebellion Core Rulebook and is often overlooked and not considered. \u00a0It is not a career specialization; however, it\u00a0is<\/em> considered a career specialization for any and all characters, as it only costs 10XP times the number of specializations the PC has. \u00a0But after taking a closer look at the Recruit specialization, it can make a character quite potent in specific areas. \u00a0So let’s dive into the Recruit… you might be missing something you want for your character!<\/p>\n

Skills and\u00a0Characteristics<\/h3>\n

Rebel operatives are trained in physical fitness, awareness, and general knowledge in many different skills for different situations. \u00a0As the Recruit is not a part of any specific career, there are no career skills to review that the Recruit automatically receives. \u00a0But the Recruit, if chosen, gets to add Athletics, Discipline, Survival, and Vigilance as career skills. \u00a0Notice there are\u00a0no<\/em>\u00a0combat skills<\/em> in this list, which many find peculiar. \u00a0But remember that the Rebel Alliance is filled with all types of members from leaders, diplomats, engineers, doctors, and so on. \u00a0Not everyone that works for the Alliance carries a gun. \u00a0These skills cover the characteristics of Brawn, Cunning, and Willpower, with Willpower covering Discipline and Vigilance. \u00a0So, if one wants to consider the Recruit, while it’s meant to be able to blend with almost all types of characters, you might consider those three characteristics when adopting a Recruit specialization.<\/p>\n

Species<\/h3>\n

Because the Species you choose is predicated mostly on the career you choose, I don’t recommend focusing your Species selection on the Recruit specialization. \u00a0However, if you want to focus on Brawn or Cunning or Willpower, there are a few Species that might maximize the capabilities of the Recruit. \u00a0Funny, the one at the top of the line, with a 3 in Brawn and Willpower, and a 2 in Cunning is the Hutt. \u00a0Can’t imagine too many Hutt Rebel Recruits. \u00a0After that, Species with a 3 in Willpower and 2s in Brawn and Willpower are the Chagrian, Dressellian, Gand, Iktotchi, Ithorian, Quarren, and Zabrak. \u00a0Those would statistically make most use of the skills the Recruit has as career skills, but again, the Recruit can blend with almost any PC.<\/p>\n

Talents<\/h3>\n

The talent tree of the Rebel Recruit is designed to do three things: add new career skills for use in the Rebellion, be tougher in fights, and add talents that can be used in a good fight with the Empire. \u00a0So let’s examine the three types in the tree. \u00a0First, the Recruit tree lets you add many career skills that you might not have if you chose a non-combat\/non-pilot spec. \u00a0Skills like Brawl, Ranged (Light), Melee, Ranged (Heavy), Gunnery, Piloting (Planetary), and even Knowledge (Core Worlds), and Knowledge (Outer-Rim).<\/p>\n

The second type, how to be tougher in fights, is where the Recruit tree has three more ranks of Toughened, and two more ranks of Grit in the tree. \u00a0Rounding out that category is \u00a0Enduring, adding to your soak.<\/p>\n

This brings us to the final category, useful talents for a Rebel. \u00a0Second Wind has three ranks in the tree, letting you recover a lot of strain whenever you need it. \u00a0Quick Draw and Jump Up let you save needed maneuvers for more important things. \u00a0Creative Killer lets you reduce the crit rating of improvised weapons for when your bar fights break out, and Dynamic Fire lets you more easily shoot at an engaged enemy with a ranged attack if you need to. \u00a0Last, don’t forget, Dedication is in the bottom of this tree just like every other specialization tree.<\/p>\n

Specialization Synergy and Character Concepts<\/h3>\n

This might be the easiest section to write about the Recruit and one of the easiest sections in the Path Less Traveled series of articles. \u00a0The reason is that the Recruit is a universal specialization and is designed to be compatible with any type of specialization from any of the three game lines. \u00a0Not only is it supposed to be, but it succeeds beautifully.<\/p>\n

If you chose a character that is non-combat focused, and find yourself not really able to handle yourself in fights, wondering what to do, this specialization might be exactly what the doctor ordered. \u00a0It is often ignored by the combat specs because their trees give them more powerful abilities, and that is true. \u00a0One of the other great aspects of the Recruit tree is that if you only need a handful of Recruit talents to make yourself viable as a Rebel, you only need dive that far down in the tree.<\/p>\n

If you’re a Mechanic who can’t handle a gun, or a Diplomat that needs to know how to fly a speeder, or an emergent Force-sensitive who joins the cause of the Rebel Alliance, the Recruit tree is not one to pass over. \u00a0Now that I’ve played the game solid for a full year, the Recruit tree looks much more useful than generally it does at a player’s first look. \u00a0When you flip through the Age of Rebellion Core Rulebook, you are bombarded with specialization after specialization with awesome, and amazing talents in them that a Rebel can use, making the Recruit a very “bland” looking spec.<\/p>\n

But look again… the Recruit just might be the thing that takes your character to a new level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
