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

This last month the highly awaited book\u00a0Dawn of Rebellion\u00a0<\/em>was finally dropped by Fantasy Flight Games after extensive printing issues at its overseas printers… and boy was it worth the wait.\u00a0 In this GM’s personal opinion, it is the best setting sourcebook FFG has published to date.\u00a0 It is filled cover to cover with all types of goodness for your games.\u00a0 From locations, NPCs, vehicles, modular encounters, and new species, it’s just fantastic.\u00a0 But what’s also inside are six new universal specializations where you can add them to any PC in any game line you’re playing.\u00a0 They’re great!\u00a0 I hope more are to come.\u00a0 So, this is the first “The Path Less Traveled…” article to review one of these six specializations.\u00a0 Right now, it’s likely a less traveled path because the book just dropped, but I have a feeling we’ll start seeing these specializations pop up in our games.\u00a0 But for now, let’s take a look at once of my favorites in the book: the Retired Clone Trooper.<\/p>\n

Overview<\/h3>\n

Clone troopers.\u00a0 We all know them.\u00a0 We love them.\u00a0 So what do they mean for your RPG Star Wars games?\u00a0 First, Retired Clone Troopers are soldiers.\u00a0 Depending on the moment you’re playing in the Star Wars timeline, the character might be old now.\u00a0 Or, perhaps they’re just moments past Order 66.\u00a0 Clone Troopers have accelerated aging, and get older quicker.\u00a0 Shortly after the war ended, the troopers were decommissioned and thrown away in favor of new recruits looking to be patriotic during the Galactic Empire’s New Order.\u00a0 A handful of these old veterans are scattered now across the galaxy.\u00a0 Perhaps they regret their choices and actions during the Jedi Purge.\u00a0 Perhaps they still are dying to fight alongside the Imperial Stormstroopers.\u00a0 Maybe they want payback against the Empire for throwing them out.\u00a0 Whatever their motivations for your character, the past of a Clone Trooper is a scarred, war-torn life.<\/p>\n

Skills and\u00a0Characteristics<\/h3>\n

The Retired Clone Trooper gets extra career skills for a secondary specialization.\u00a0 Because this isn’t a career specialization, it must be taken second at least.\u00a0 Usually a specialization has four new career skills, but because of the intense training programs by the cloning facilities on Kamino, the Retired Clone Trooper gets six with Discipline, Knowledge (Warfare), Ranged (Heavy), Ranged (Light), Resilience, and Vigilance.\u00a0 That’s a lot of new career skills.\u00a0 This could possibly be a little bit of a bonus because you’re limited to Human males only during character creation.\u00a0 Or, it’s simply accurate as the trooper would have been trained in nearly every military skill in the game.<\/p>\n

So this means, when you’re creating your human character, and you start with all 2s across characteristics, you’re going to want to pump XP into Agility and Willpower.\u00a0 Now, as your career specialization will be your first, and you may have other characteristics you should focus on, you may have to consider Agility and Willpower secondarily.<\/p>\n

Species<\/h3>\n

With every other specialization, what species you are does not matter.\u00a0 But for a Retired Clone Trooper, only human males can be this specialization.\u00a0 The reason is obvious with the word “clone” in the middle.\u00a0 So that limits things.<\/p>\n

Talents<\/h3>\n

The talent tree for a Retired Clone Trooper is almost a grid, with no single or double path down the tree.\u00a0 You can proceed nearly from any column to any row and vice versa.\u00a0 So let’s look at what the Retired Clone Trooper gets access to as you build your grizzled soldier.<\/p>\n

Two ranks of Grit and Toughened make the trooper able to keep up in a fight and do what needs to be done.\u00a0 Steady Aim on the top row is one of the best 5 XP talents around.\u00a0 It allows the character to not give up the boost die from aiming if he performs other maneuvers, only giving it up after the encounter ends.\u00a0 Imagine that, aim once, and you don’t have to aim again!\u00a0 Spare clip allows the trooper to not run out of ammo due to Despair being rolled.\u00a0 A couple ranks of Durable allow the trooper to reduce a Critical Injury by 10 per rank, and two ranks of Combat Veteran adds boost to Brawl and Discipline checks.\u00a0 Swift is great and lets a player ignore penalties for moving through bad terrain.<\/p>\n

Then we get to Familiar Suns, a great talent.\u00a0 This is a once per session talent that lets you make a hard Knowledge (Outer Rim) or Knowledge (Core Worlds) check to reveal the current type of planetary environment and other useful information about a planet.\u00a0 This represents the “been there, done that” aspect of your veteran character.\u00a0 Stimpack Specialization is a bit unique here to a non-medic character, boosting how much Wound Threshold you get from using a stimpack.\u00a0 Persistent Targeting lets you add a boost die to all combat checks against a target that you’ve already hit for the remainder of the encounter.\u00a0 Powerful Blast increases Blast damage from explosives and explosive weapons by 1 per rank, and in this tree, you’ll find two ranks of it, making you formidable when you lob grenades.<\/p>\n

Lastly we get to the bottom row where you find Dedication as always, and one rank of Enduring, increasing your Soak by 1 just because you’re tough.\u00a0 The two big talents at the bottom are Comrades in Arms and Improved Comrades in Arms.\u00a0 The base talent lets you, one time in an encounter, make a hard Discipline check.\u00a0 If you succeed, you plus one ally for every success rolled within medium range get +1 defense for the rest of the encounter.\u00a0 If you roll a lot of successes you can protect your entire team.\u00a0 The improved version lets you spend three Advantage or one Triumph to give you +1 Soak or give one affected ally +1 Soak.<\/p>\n

All of these talents add up to a fantastic, all-around soldier!<\/p>\n

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

So the obvious synergy here with a Retired Clone Trooper is with the Soldier career.\u00a0 Literally any of the 6 specializations can be combined with the Retired Clone Trooper to make a fantastic troop on the ground.\u00a0 Also, if you play by the book, having any Force and Destiny specializations is out, because Jango Fett was not Force Sensitive.\u00a0 Maybe you can allow a Force Sensitive Emergent as one spontaneously gets Force powers.<\/p>\n

But the first synergy I want to discuss is with another Universal Specialization, the Recruit<\/a>.\u00a0 Adding Athletics, Survival, and Vigilance to your career skills gets you up to nine more career skills!\u00a0 Yes, this would be your second or third specialization at this point but that is a lot!\u00a0 The Recruit also lets you pick more career skills in the talent tree, giving you even more the “jack of all trades” soldier.\u00a0 Adding Second Wind, Quick Draw, Jump Up, and other useful, general soldier-type talents will make your soldier able to do almost anything on the battlefield.<\/p>\n

Any of the Bounty Hunter specializations would be fantastic… a retired trooper that goes into business for himself.\u00a0 Perhaps you could use whatever the trooper’s specialty was during the Clone Wars to help you choose your Bounty Hunter specialization.\u00a0 Any of the Hired Gun specializations would be phenomenal as well, using the trooper’s backstory as the decision for which specialization to run with.<\/p>\n

But what I think would make another fantastic combo, is the Commander career.\u00a0 Imagine all that experience fighting along side the Jedi during the Clone Wars turning him into a fantastic commander in the new Rebellion.\u00a0 Two specializations of the Commander career stand out to me: Instructor and Strategist.\u00a0 Instructor turns your old, grizzled trooper into a drill sergeant.\u00a0 Strategist gives your old soldier to be amazing at running mass combat scenarios and taking charge on the battlefield, overseeing everything and leading all the troops.\u00a0 Either of those would be fantastic to play through with the right campaign.<\/p>\n

So what about any of you?\u00a0 Did you get your copy of\u00a0Dawn of Rebellion<\/em>?\u00a0 Do you have some fantastic builds with a Retired Clone Trooper in mind?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

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\/13305","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=13305"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13305\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13363,"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13305\/revisions\/13363"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13307"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13305"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13305"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13305"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
