Masters in Exile is an ongoing series of articles where I will present fully fleshed out characters to fill the roll of master for the Jedi in your party. These profiles will include plot hooks, game stats, optional house rules, personality traits, sample quotes, and character development paths. It is my hope that these characters will serve as set pieces that a GM can dropping into their game, fully-formed and ready for play.<\/em><\/p>\n

In Part I<\/a>, we looked at Yotho Adon, an Ithorian purveyor of exotic goods and acolyte of the Ithorian Oracles. Should she take up training your party or PC, consider using the following Force Tradition in place of the standard master benefit from the FaD Core Rulebook<\/em> and the information on her home, the Herdship Bazaar<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Force Tradition: Ithorian Mysticism\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Background:<\/b>\u00a0Ithorians maintain a closer connection to the Force then most species in the galaxy. Their world is rich with life, and has not been exploited in the way that many worlds have. Due to their deeply ingrained connection to nature and reverence of life, many Ithorians feel a profound connection to the Force (though few have a connection strong enough to wield it).<\/p>\n

Those few practitioners\u00a0of\u00a0Ithorian mysticism gifted with such strong connections are typically referred to as “high-priests” and “oracles” depending on their their calling. Priests tend to assume roles of leadership and learning within their herd communities and on the homeworld, leading other followers of the religion and maintaining their herdship’s and homeworld’s delicate ecosystems.<\/p>\n

Oracles are typically those who are particularly connected to the Force and are called to it at a young age. They also train outside of the standard religion, often living as hermits and practicing self-exploration rather than meticulous study. Regardless of their calling, both paths share an abhorrence to violence and most are strict pacifists. Their view is that they worship the Force, a field created by all living thing things; killing or injuring one of those lifeforms serves only to diminish the Force as a whole and therefore must be avoided.<\/p>\n

Benefit:\u00a0<\/strong>Reduce the cost to purchase all Control upgrades to the Ebb\/Flow, Foresee, or Sense power by 5 to a minimum of 5.<\/p>\n

Drawback (15 XP):\u00a0<\/strong>Any Conflict generated by performing violent acts generates an additional 2 Conflict. If the character engages in any violent actions during an encounter, including violent actions that would not normally generate Conflict, such as self defense, the character generates 2 Conflict at the end of the encounter.<\/p>\n

Ithorian Herdship Bazaar<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Most Ithorians, including Yotho, live and travel aboard massive vessels called “herdships” designed to serve as living space, intergalactic transportation, and cultural\/economic trade hubs for the Ithorian species. In addition to all this, each ship hosts a self-contained ecosystem of plant and animal life transplanted from their native world. These ships are incredible feats of engineering and innovation and represent the work of centuries or even millennia of Ithorian’s working together. The vessels all follow roughly the same roughly hemispherical format, but beyond that each ship varies dramatically. It is unknown if they were all constructed slightly differently or the differences are due to centuries of modification and use by their respective herds. The Bazaar<\/em>\u00a0moved through the Outer Rim Territories between the Rimma Trade Route and the Corellian Trade Spine. It was most famous for its open design and the vast markets and villages that give it its name.<\/p>\n
