Vote FOR KOTOR 2

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...

[Judge Hades]

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.

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]

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.

[Judge Hades]

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.

[Darque]

Ok, one free attack then.

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.

Amen

Except in d20 SW this isn't the case.

 

The reason it resembles the whole "prestige" thing is because of story.
