The Path Less Traveled is a semi-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 lines 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

I’ve gotten some good feedback on The Path Less Traveled series so far and I’m pleased at the reception.\u00a0 I’ve had several requests for specializations to get to, more than I can actually get to in a timely fashion.\u00a0 But I’m going to keep focusing on the requests.\u00a0 That brings us to today’s specialization: the Big Game Hunter!<\/p>\n

Again, an odd specialization of sorts when you think about Star Wars.\u00a0 It appears the Big-Game Hunter belongs more in a Dungeons and Dragons setting.\u00a0 I myself even played a character like that in D & D back in the day, taking down huge monsters for trophies.\u00a0 But in Star Wars, because of a blend of some great skills that the character has, there are a number of creative uses when you take a look.<\/p>\n

Talents and Skills<\/h3>\n

First off, the Big-Game Hunter is an Explorer which gives them Astrogation, Cool, Knowledge (Lore), Knowledge (Outer Rim), Knowledge (Xenology), Perception, Piloting (Space), and Survival as career skills.\u00a0 Now that is a wide range of skills.\u00a0 Piloting with Astrogation can make for a nimble pilot, and the knowledge skills make for a highly intelligent character.\u00a0 The Big Game Hunter then adds another potential rank in Knowledge (Xenology), Ranged (Heavy), Stealth, and another rank in Survival to their career skills.\u00a0 This takes a fantastic, intelligent explorer with piloting skills, and adds combat, stealth, and hunting abilities.\u00a0 Just looking at the combination of skills you can get a sense of the wide range of character concepts one can explore.<\/p>\n

The talents that the Big Game Hunter possesses in their specialization tree can straddle the line between hunting and tracking, survival skills, and awareness of surroundings.\u00a0 In fact, the tree itself and the connectors are quite unique and forces the player down almost a single path to get to the bottom two rows of talents.\u00a0 The Forager and Expert Tracker talents remove setback dice from various checks surrounding surviving in the wild and tracking prey.\u00a0 Outdoorsman and Swift remove setback dice from checks moving through rough terrain and reduce travel times as well.\u00a0 Heightened Awareness gives boosts to Perception or Vigilance checks making sure the Big Game Hunter doesn’t let anything slip by him.<\/p>\n

The signature talents really distinguish the Big Game Hunter.\u00a0 Natural Hunter allows the character to re-roll any Perception or Vigilance check once a session.\u00a0 Hunter’s Quarry allows you to pass a Survival check and upgrade all attacks against a target at long range. That would be pretty strong with a sniper-type build as well.\u00a0 The sister talent, Improved Hunter’s Quarry, makes Hunter’s Quarry into a maneuver instead of an action for only a small strain cost.\u00a0 This means you can take that shot the same turn instead of waiting until the next round.\u00a0 Last, we come to Bring it Down.\u00a0 This lets you spend a destiny point to add damage to any single hit equal to the target’s Brawn rating.\u00a0 A good sniper rifle + Hunter’s Quarry + Bring it Down = one heck of a shot against a hardened enemy.\u00a0 All these talents make the Big-Game Hunter a quite potent combat character as well as a tracker and survivalist.<\/p>\n

Species<\/h3>\n

Species for this specialization are best when focused around the type of hunter you wish to play.\u00a0 If you’re looking for a long-range shooting type character, focusing on Agility makes sense for an accurate shooter and one that can take advantage of the talents in the specialization tree.\u00a0 This means the Dug, Aleena, Klatooinian, Kyuzo, or Rodian are examples of decent species to use.\u00a0 A strong Cunning would focus on the tracking and survivability of a Big Game Hunter.\u00a0 This means a Gossam, Gotal, Muun, or Togruta might make a lot of sense.\u00a0 Making sure you have a 3 in either Agility or Cunning and a 2 in the other would make a good starting point for a species.<\/p>\n

Character Concepts and Working Into a Campaign<\/h3>\n

The Big-Game Hunter is a character that shouldn’t be too hard to work into any campaign with a little creative thinking.\u00a0 Of course one can make any excuse to be in any party but I like to really make that sing myself.\u00a0 The first would be one of the reluctant adventurer.\u00a0 Perhaps a Big Game Hunter, stationed on a remote world normally hunts for food and\/or defense of a town.\u00a0 But then, the Empire spoils everything and invades, forcing the hunter into action, now using his skills to kill stormtroopers who invaded his home and taking him on an adventure.<\/p>\n

Another idea could be that of a Big Game Hunter\/Hermit (which I outlined in the last edition of The Path Less Traveled here…<\/a>) who has a similar theme of living alone until thrust into adventure.\u00a0 The ability to add Force Sensitivity and further Survival-based talents can make a vicious character who can thrive in the outdoors on even the most dangerous planets.\u00a0 The ability to add a lot of Ranged (Heavy) firepower to\u00a0that of a Force Sensitive is quite appealing.<\/p>\n

The Trailblazer from Forged in Battle<\/em> is an interesting choice when paired with a Big Game Hunter.\u00a0 He would be an excellent hunter and soldier who can use the terrain and surroundings to get the advantage in a fight.\u00a0 The survival skills and soldier abilities of PC like that could be quite potent in any campaign that frequents the outdoors.<\/p>\n

Combining with a Survivalist is a somewhat obvious choice, but things could get interesting when combined with a Sharpshooter or Assassin.\u00a0 Expanding the talents would make the character quite the killer at range or even up close.\u00a0 A former Assassin who gave up the job for a life of seclusion, hunting on his own, thrust back into adventure could make for quite the entertaining character.<\/p>\n

As a GM when you have a Big Game Hunter in your party, make sure you include outdoor sessions fairly frequently, or at least work in some locales for fighting outside or having to deal with the creatures that dwell on the planet they’re on.\u00a0 Edge campaigns are easy to do this in usually, and even in the Age of Rebellion type campaigns, the Empire certainly doesn’t discriminate which planet it invades.\u00a0 Big Game Hunters can easily find themselves at the front lines of the war against the Empire.\u00a0 There are many other combinations as well that can make for a fantastic character concept.<\/p>\n

So next time you want to roll up a character you might give the Big Game Hunter a chance!\u00a0 Have you ever run one or had one in your party?\u00a0 Ever GM a Big Game Hunter?\u00a0 In doing so did you have any challenges or great stories?\u00a0 Leave a comment and let me know!<\/p>\n

Until next time…!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

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\/9301","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=9301"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9301\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9369,"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9301\/revisions\/9369"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9303"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9301"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9301"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9301"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
