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 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, skills and talents, how to incorporate them into a campaign, and perhaps some uses which are not always obvious at first glance.<\/em><\/p>\n

Today I’ll continue my examination of some of the more obscure or less-used specializations in the Star Wars RPG lines by Fantasy Flight Games by diving into the requests. \u00a0This next request is one I think definitely gets a “meh” response from readers of the Age of Rebellion\u00a0<\/em>core rulebook. \u00a0It has at my table. \u00a0But, as is the aim of this series, I’ll attempt to show how any specialization, with the right usage, can become an epic character in the Star Wars world. \u00a0So without further ado… a look at\u00a0Age of Rebellion’s<\/em> the Quartermaster.<\/p>\n

Species<\/h3>\n

When you build a character, unless going for a specific character concept, you generally want to look at ones that have starting characteristic strengths that fit your chosen\u00a0career and specialization. \u00a0Being part of the Diplomat career, Intelligence has got to be one of your focuses. \u00a0The next characteristic to focus on is a tie between Cunning and Presence, depending upon the focus of the character you are going for. \u00a0So what species should we consider that have a high Intelligence along with a high Cunning and\/or Presence?<\/p>\n

First, the Drall can make a fantastic Quartermaster. \u00a0The only Species that starts with a 4 in Intelligence and 2s in both Cunning and Presence. \u00a0After that, the Neimoidian and the Muun have 3s in both Intelligence and Cunning. \u00a0The Cerean, Chadra-Fan, Duros, Elomin, Ishi Tib, Lannik, and Sakiyan all have 3s in Intelligence and 2s in Cunning and Presence as well, so all can easily be considered for a great Quartermaster.<\/p>\n

Let’s next look at why these particular species are important and dive into the skills and talents that a good Quartermaster has at his or her disposal.<\/p>\n

Skills and Talents<\/h3>\n

The Quartermaster is part of the Diplomat career, giving them Charm, Deception, Knowledge (Core Worlds), Knowledge (Lore), Knowledge (Outer Rim), Knowledge (Xenology), Leadership, and Negotiation as career skills. \u00a0This gives you a social character with a real focus on Intelligence. \u00a0This is why Cunning and Presence are important for a Quartermaster. \u00a0When choosing a Quartermaster, the character gets to add Computers, Negotiation, Skulduggery, and Vigilance to their career skills. \u00a0Just upon viewing this list of skills, you have a character that is basically a rival to any Smuggler build. \u00a0All the knowledge skills ensure that the PC will always understand where he is and background information to help the group. \u00a0He’ll always know where to find people to get what the group needs. \u00a0Then, he has many of the social skills as career skills so he can wheel and deal in any situation. \u00a0 \u00a0Add Computers and Skulduggery and you have a character that can simply take what he needs, even without asking.<\/p>\n

Taking a look at the Quartermaster talent tree, you’ll find what I consider three paths down and through the tree. \u00a0A left path, a middle section, and a right path. \u00a0Starting on the left path, going down the first column, the talents here are some initial social talents like Know Somebody and Smooth Talker, along with Grit, and Dedication at the bottom. \u00a0You find Natural Negotiator at the end of the path as well. \u00a0On the far right, you have what I consider the combat path…talents that assist you in a fight. \u00a0You’ll find more Grit and Toughened ranks here, as well as Superior Reflexes and Intense Focus. \u00a0All these skills should help keep you upright when your team gets into a scrap.<\/p>\n

The middle is the unique aspect of the Quartermaster tree. \u00a0It’s almost walled off from the rest of the tree, as the middle two columns only connect to the left column, and do not connect to the bottom row. \u00a0It’s this area which is full of the signature talents for the Quartermaster. \u00a0They’re also expensive to get to as you need to head to the bottom of the left path and then over and back up. \u00a0First up, a couple ranks of Sound Investments are here, guaranteeing some credits coming in no matter what at the start of each session. \u00a0Greased Palms is a great narrative talent that lets you pay money to make social checks either as you pay off your target. \u00a0Wheel and Deal and Master Merchant let you buy for less money and sell for more money. \u00a0That brings us to what I consider the big Quartermaster talent in the tree: Bought Info. \u00a0This fantastic talent lets you spend 50 credits times the difficulty of a Knowledge check to automatically pass the check with one success. \u00a0I love that talent. \u00a0Got a Daunting Knowledge check to find your target in an investigation? \u00a0Just pay 200 credits and you don’t even have to roll the dice. \u00a0The trade-off is that you lose the opportunity to gain Advantages or Triumphs on the check. \u00a0But when success is critical, you can leave your Destiny Pool as it is and pay for a successful check. \u00a0If you have two ranks of Sound Investments, you get 200 credits per session anyways so the cost to use Bought Info at least once is given to you each session.<\/p>\n

Specialization Synergy<\/h3>\n

So if you’re a Quartermaster, what specializations can you pair with it to build a strong character? \u00a0Well the beauty of the FFG system is that any specialization can help build a strong character, but which ones to me really sing? \u00a0First, a Quartermaster\/Smuggler is a very strong build. \u00a0Not only do you have the abilities of a good Smuggler, but you can now buy people off, find things cheap, and stay up better in a fight. \u00a0The combination and Knowledge skills of the Quartermaster can make for a really potent build. \u00a0Any of the specializations in the Smuggler career can be really intriguing combos. \u00a0The Thief specialization is really interesting with a Quartermaster to me. \u00a0Taking a Quartermaster’s ability to find and track down equipment and supplementing it with Black Market Contacts and Hidden Storage is really intriguing. \u00a0Furthermore, you can supplement the Quartermaster’s skulduggery tendencies with the Thief’s Stalker, Bypass Security, and Master of Shadows talents.<\/p>\n

Any of the Intelligence-based specializations are intriguing too. \u00a0For example, the Scientist combining with a Quartermaster. \u00a0You could max out your Knowledge skills and talents, while adding the ability to acquire, buy, and find out things well. \u00a0Adding the Skulduggery of a Quartermaster and you can give your Scientist great thieving abilities as well, while giving your Quartermaster the ability to mod equipment and tinker with the things he or she acquires.<\/p>\n

Some great narrative pairings could be the Rigger, Outlaw Tech, or just announced “Shipwright” from the upcoming\u00a0Fully Operational<\/em> Engineer’s Sourcebook. \u00a0These specializations focus on building things, modding ships and weapons, and building tricking out their ships. \u00a0Imagine pairing these with a Quartermaster. \u00a0The ability to procure the right materials is a big part of crafting rules in the system. \u00a0The Quartermaster build can make you not only great and building things, but finding the materials and components needed to accomplish the task in the first place.<\/p>\n

While those are some of my favorite combos, any character that you would like to get a jump in their Knowledge check abilities, procure items, and pay for information, don’t forget the Quartermaster!<\/p>\n

Working a Quartermaster Into Campaigns<\/h3>\n

There’s one main thing to address when introducing a Quartermaster into your campaign, and that is to allow for the Quartermaster’s skills and talents to acquire supplies, weapons, and armor for the group. \u00a0The reason I bring this up is because in my current campaigns, I would be shortchanging a good Quartermaster. \u00a0I get to play every week with two campaigns, and that’s great. \u00a0But we have a very short amount of time. \u00a0We have just one hour for one, and two hours for the other. \u00a0So when we sit and play we just jump right in. \u00a0No upkeep, no discussion. \u00a0So the PC’s\u00a0never\u00a0<\/em>think to buy anything, acquire anything, hunt for anything, etc. \u00a0They just play. \u00a0So, I have had “upkeep days” where I let them go shopping. \u00a0But if I had a Quartermaster in the group, I would need to abandon this and narratively build supply acquisition into the campaign story. \u00a0Otherwise, I would really be wasting a lot of what the Quartermaster worked to build. \u00a0So, if you’re a GM and have a Quartermaster in your party, make sure to make the acquisition of items, supplies, etc. a narrative element to allow the PC’s skills to really shine.<\/p>\n

If you’re playing a Quartermaster character, you need to make sure you are focusing part of your efforts on party equipment, resource acquisition, and supplies. \u00a0Always keep any eye out for opportunities to help your party get better weapons and gear, new contacts, and specialized gear that is generally very difficult to acquire. \u00a0Think of ways to help buy the team out of trouble sometimes, and use your knowledge to gain information. \u00a0Sometimes, if parties are focused on being simply combat-focused, these things become forgotten.<\/p>\n

For example, in one campaign I have an Outlaw Tech\/Cyber Tech character. \u00a0Her concept is fantastic. \u00a0But when we play my friend often forgets her talents and concept, just goes along for the ride, shoots at things she needs to, and that’s all. \u00a0Her entire character concept is largely ignored by her. \u00a0So if Quartermaster is the way you go, that’s awesome, but be prepared to work the things that make you awesome into your play style.<\/p>\n

So next time you want to make a character that knows folks and can acquire some amazing weapons and gear for the team, look away from the Smuggler and glance over at the Quartermaster. \u00a0You might be glad you did!<\/p>\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\/9785","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=9785"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9785\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9922,"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9785\/revisions\/9922"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9786"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9785"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9785"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9785"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
