[quote=@Sep] I mean if you're going to go a Padawan can always explain it away with their inexperience. Or you could go the route of someone who didn't manage to become a Padawan and ended up in one of the Corps, or a non-Jedi. If you wish I can craft you an NPC Master to play off you for a bit as - as in I would write said master and work with you till you felt a bit more comfortable. I'm nothing if not accommodating. [/quote] It'd be dope to have a master -- but perhaps it'd be better to riff him off of an actual player, so that he can stick around them for a while before breaking away -- it gives more options for the story, imho, but if you intend to have this master stick around too, then that'd work for sure. Alternatively -- I might still want to keep the whole ''dude fails his way to the top'' thing, but perhaps make him a bit more competent to avoid the act getting stale. How does that sound, to you? So he's much less the Forest Gump of the scenario and more so just not horribly competent at the start -- and, being thrust into the thick of it, has to rapidly ''get better'', which he does?
