Volourn Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 I doubt the 1st level jedi would win everytime. Afterall, it would p;robably take the soldier one good hit to kill the Jedi since the Jedi is doubtful to have lots of hp... DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Judge Hades Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 If memory serves the Soldier gets a d10 hit die with the lowest hit die of a Jedi is d6 (maybe d8). Properly equiped soldier versus a properly equiped Jedi Guardian, and the Jedi will win every time.
Darque Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 I'd put my money on the soldier. The fight would start at range, and blaster deflection isn't a certainty. So the Soldier would likely have 2 shots before the jedi got up to him. And at first level... it only takes one to kill ya... well except for the weak blasters in KotOR.
Volourn Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 d6? Ooo The soldier is reals cared about that hp total. Ooo... At low level it's about always about luck and timing. If you were tlaking say much higher level then maybe I'd agree but 1st leevls no. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Judge Hades Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 Range fighting doesn't do a soldier any good with that Guardian's Force jump ability that puts him instantly in melee. Also Guardians have a d10 HD. Consulars have a d6.
Cantousent Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 I thought, and this is from what I understood from KotOR, that the Jedi class is actually a sort of prestige class and that the Jedi would have several levels of another class before he became a Jedi. If that's true, then I see no reason why a first level soldier wouldn't be canon fodder for a first level Jedi. Not only that, but Jedi are supposed to be the elite of the elite. It's one thing to say that a first level soldier should have a chance against a Jedi. It's another to suggest that the fight is fair. A first level fighter shouldn't win even half of the time. Now, I don't give a crap about any munchkin argument. In fact, I doubt if the vast majority of consumers care about the folks who come around here and rail 'gainst "munchkins." The fact is, the Star Wars universe revolves around the special status and fighting prowess of the Jedi. If they decide to make Jedi fall to the first Tom, ****, or Harry that comes along, then they've made a mistake.

Darque Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 Except in d20 SW this isn't the case. The reason it resembles the whole "prestige" thing is because of story.
