The Path Less Traveled is a regular series in which I\u2019ll be examining a single specialization from the Star Wars\u00a0<\/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

Typically when one examines character options in a Star Wars game, their mind goes to the swashbuckling heroes with blasters or lightsabers, tearing it up in a fight.\u00a0 But the Star Wars RPG system by FFG is one that rewards narrative creativity and focus on story.\u00a0 So often times players become insanely combat focused and aren’t able to work through many of the other aspects in the game.\u00a0 But taking a great non-combat specialization makes for the most fun at the table.\u00a0 One of the fun aspects of the article series is to examine a specialization that might not otherwise be considered at your table.\u00a0 Today we examine a specialization that is one many might overlook, and it is also one that has only been out a short time for the game: the Investigator, which can be found on page 24 of\u00a0Endless Vigil\u00a0<\/em>of the Force and Destiny game line.<\/p>\n

Skills and\u00a0Characteristics<\/h3>\n

As part of the Sentinel career, the Investigator relies on two Characteristics almost exclusively: Cunning and Intellect.\u00a0 Every career skill and additional career skill from the Investigator specialization is based on those two characteristics, save one… Stealth.\u00a0 Stealth is based on Agility, but with a good narrative description, I have allowed players to base Stealth on Cunning before, so I wouldn’t hesitate to ask your GM about that possibility when the situation arises.<\/p>\n

Examining the career skills of a Sentinel, the character gets Computers, Deception, Knowledge (Core Worlds), Perception, Skulduggery, and Stealth.\u00a0 When one chooses the Investigator, one gets access to Knowledge (Education) , Knowledge (Underworld), another rank of Perception, and Streetwise.<\/p>\n

Beyond the Cunning and Intelligence, you’ll want to choose whatever characteristics you feel are important to pursue higher numbers in for the character concept you’d like to build.<\/p>\n

Species<\/h3>\n

To build the best Investigator, you’ll want to dive into Cunning and Intellect as said above.\u00a0 So which Species should you consider?\u00a0 Well, there are two species that start with 3s in both Cunning and Intellect, and that’s the Munn and Neimoidian.\u00a0 Those are the only two with 3s in both out of the gate.\u00a0 Now, if you don’t mind starting with a 2 in one of the two characteristics, your options open up.\u00a0 The Drall has a 4 in Intellect and a 2 in Cunning.\u00a0 After that, there are several Species that have 3s in Cunning, and a 2 in Intellect.\u00a0 The Bothan, Chevin, Devaronian, Gossam, Gotal, and Togruta all meet that criteria.<\/p>\n

Switching it up, there are also a lot of choices with Species that have a 3 in Intellect and a 2 in Cunning.\u00a0 The Cerean, Chadra-Fan, Chiss, Duros, Elomin, Ishi Tib, Lannik, Polis Massan, Quermian, Sakiyan, and Shistavanen are all excellent choices if you want to bump your Cunning up to a 3 with XP.\u00a0 So as you consider your choices for Species, this list should give you plenty of choices.<\/p>\n

Talents<\/h3>\n

This is where the Investigator really sets itself apart.\u00a0 The tree itself, on page 25 of Endless Vigil<\/em>, is fairly open but has two “choke points” in which you must take a certain talent to proceed further down the tree.\u00a0 There are not any specific paths down the tree for different types of Investigator or certain types of talents.\u00a0 The entire tree is all geared towards a single archetype.\u00a0 So let’s examine the tree and see what lies in wait for a good Investigator.<\/p>\n

The basic talents of Grit and Toughened are, of course, present.\u00a0 There are two ranks of each.\u00a0 Then you come to Street Smarts, which has three ranks.\u00a0 This lets you remove setback dice from any Streetwise or Knowledge (Underworld) check.\u00a0 Keen Eyed lets you do the same from Perception and Vigilance checks, and there are two ranks of this.\u00a0 Uncanny Senses lets you add a boost to all Perception checks, and there is one rank of this.\u00a0 After these, we start getting into some of the more powerful talents in the tree.<\/p>\n

Talk the Talk, only 10XP, lets you spend a Destiny point to use Knowledge (Underworld) or Streetwise for\u00a0<\/strong>any\u00a0<\/strong>Knowledge check!\u00a0 Anytime you need to learn anything, a simple Destiny point flip makes you as smart in that area as anyone.\u00a0 This makes the Investigator able to be great at all knowledge skills at once.\u00a0 And for just 10XP this is quite the bargain.\u00a0 Next, we come to Reconstruct the Scene, which lets you make a hard Perception check to identify the physical characteristics of anyone present at the scene within the last day or so.<\/p>\n

Sense Advantage lets you add two setback dice to any NPC’s skill check, and you can do so once per session.\u00a0 Next, we get to Unrelenting Skeptic, which allows you to add failures if anyone tries to Deceive you, equal to your ranks in Vigilance.\u00a0 Clever Solution lets you make a check using Cunning rather than the Characteristic normally used for any check, once per session.\u00a0 And then you get down to the really fun powers!<\/p>\n

Sense the Scene lets you make a Perception check and add Force Dice to the check.\u00a0 If successful, you can spend the Force Points to identify the emotional characteristics of one person involved in the crime you’re trying to solve.\u00a0 So, just looking at a room, you can get the state of mind of the suspect.\u00a0 Valuable Facts is great and lets you make an average Knowledge check.\u00a0 Success lets you add a Triumph to one ally’s check during the encounter, and you can choose which check to spend it on!\u00a0 Narratively, it should be based on something you found out in the encounter.\u00a0 Lastly, we come to Improved Street Smarts.\u00a0 This allows you to make a formidable Streetwise or Knowledge (Underworld) check to learn one vital clue from the GM.\u00a0 This is extremely narrative of course, but the great part is, you lower the difficulty once per rank of Street Smarts you have further up the tree.\u00a0 This means if you take all three ranks of Street Smarts you can make an average check to learn anything you need, once per session.<\/p>\n

Specialization Synergy and Character Concepts<\/h3>\n
The thing to remember about the Investigator in this game is that the PC is Force-sensitive.\u00a0 It’s the Force that is keeping them in tune with the things around them, giving them great insight, and helping them learn what happened and where someone might have gone to.\u00a0 So as you plan this Investigator, don’t forget that the Force drives everything about the character. With that said, don’t forget all types of specializations you can pair up with the Investigator.\u00a0 I’m a firm believer that almost anything will pair up but a few are my narrative favorites.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The combinations with the Sentinel career are obvious, so I’ll leave those out.\u00a0 Starting with the Force and Destiny line, a Healer could be a powerful combination.\u00a0 With the focus on Intellect of the Healer, you can combine the knowledge skills and Intellect together for quite the powerful build.\u00a0 A medic\/doctor type who solves crimes and mysteries.\u00a0 The Guardian’s Soresu Defender can also be a wise choice, as the Soresu technique lets you use Intellect in your Lightsaber checks.\u00a0 So if you’d like to wield a lightsaber, don’t just look at the Sentinel’s Shien Technique.\u00a0 Another of my favorite combos would be the Teacher, which I also wrote an article about a while ago<\/a>.\u00a0 All the talents of the Teacher align with Intellect as well, and makes a powerful combo with an Investigator.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In the Age of Rebellion line, one of the Commander specializations could make a great pairing.\u00a0 In fact, a Commodore might make a fun one with many talents based on Intellect.\u00a0 A Quartermaster might also make a great combination<\/a>, with many things relying on a Quartermaster’s Intellect from the Diplomat career, and combine with Skulduggery, Computers, and Vigilance could be quite potent!\u00a0 Also, any of the Spy specializations would be amazing with the focus on Cunning that they have.\u00a0 The Slicer, with the Intellect-based skills like Computers, and Knowledge (Education) and Knowledge (Underworld) would blend amazingly well!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For the Edge of the Empire line, the Doctor, Politico, and Scholar would combine nicely.\u00a0 The Scholar has every Knowledge skill at their disposal.\u00a0 Combine that with the Investigator and there is almost nothing that couldn’t be gleaned from a crime scene.\u00a0 If you’d like to combine with something else, then the Scout or Trader would work great.\u00a0 The Scout, using Cunning with his Survival-based skills would work great.\u00a0 Lastly, a good Smuggler might combine will with the Investigator.\u00a0 In particular, I think a Thief would be fantastic.\u00a0 Using Skulduggery, Computers, and Vigilance as career skills, all based on Cunning and Intellect, you can make a great character that can break into and out of places while conducting his or her Investigations.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So that’s basically it for building a great Investigator!\u00a0 How about you?\u00a0 Have any of you played one?\u00a0 What was your build?\u00a0 How would you play your Investigator?<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

(Rock Chalk, Jayhawk! Just outside Kansas City for those who don't know.) Scott is a veteran of several role playing, table top miniatures, video, and board games, starting with the Atari 2600 when he was 6, and the classic red box Dungeons and Dragons game when he was 12. After a long hiatus away from the hobby, Scott has recently picked up gaming once again, and is running two different campaigns in Fantasy Flight Games' Edge of the Empire\/Age of Rebellion\/Force and Destiny lines. He is an avid X-Wing miniatures player, as well as Armada, Imperial Assault, Space Hulk, and Rebellion. (His family is obviously a Star Wars family, right?) Scott is married to his high school sweetheart, and has 2 children in middle school, both Black Belts in Krav Maga martial arts.","url":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/author\/scotter23\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12980","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1164"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12980"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12980\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13051,"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12980\/revisions\/13051"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12981"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12980"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12980"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12980"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
