Marvel into Star Wars (FFG version) Conversion (4th Update - 08/24/2015)

Alright let’s kick this off.  In order to cross over Star Wars and Marvel in a way we have to first establish the various rules that character builds will use so that they can be used in the Star Wars Fantasy flight game system.

So to start lets establish some rules for what these things will be and how they will work.

First, these are additional specializations that function in a similar manner as one would take the “Force-Sensitive Emergent” or “Force Sensitive Exile” as Universal Specializations.

Please keep in mind that I will be updating this particular blog page as I create new things for this.

======================================================================

Super Soldier

Throughout history there has been a record of both allies and enemies experimenting and creating super soldiers.  During the Clone Wars both the Republic and Separatists factions looked at means and methods of shoring up troop losses.  The additional problem that the Republic faced was the additional loss of Jedi.  Though Jedi rarely died on the battle field it was still an occurrence, plus there were only so many Jedi in the galaxy.  The need for specialized troops led to experiments on clones that resulted in the creation of a number of specialized clone troopers like the “Bad Batch” team as well as the Ark Troopers and the Commandos.  But these were tame and there only for the benefit of the Jedi to turn a blind eye to.  Other experiments were being conducted, ones that crossed lines that the Jedi knew nothing about; as was often the case in such things for both the past, the present, and the future.

The same could be said about the Separatist forces.  Having only droids at their command for the most part, the Separatists needed an edge against the Jedi and their clones that was not mechanical in nature.  To this end the Separatist began experimenting on soldiers as well; their Sith masters were all too eager to assist in providing the means and way to experiment on people.

Thus was born the Super Soldier, a being who was more than what others could be.  Some could stand against legions of droids or even a few Jedi.  Once Order 66 was given these special troops often found themselves on the wrong end of a blaster, but since they weren’t Jedi the order was not well executed against those who were apart of the Republic.  For those who were Separatists they suddenly found the head cut off of their leadership and a sudden appearance of clone troopers doing mop up work.

But this is hardly the end of experimentation and creation of super soldiers as the Empire still has a hand in this sort of thing including not only enhanced soldiers, but droids as well.

Mutation Descendant

There are any number of genetic abnormalities that can exist, often occurring naturally.  But this is not always the case.  Sometimes people give evolution a helping hand, and in other cases the strap an ion engine to it just to see what will happen.  Mutations have long been an a field of study both in the past and during the times of the Republic and the Empire.  This was something different than the super soldier programs, but was also apart of them.  While a super soldier sought to enhance a person, mutation experiments sought to completely change them.

Mutant experimentation's had a long history in the Sith, and over generations the seeds of those experiments progressed, and sometimes awakened in unexpected ways in seemingly normal people.  For some they were born deformed, appearing different than the race they were originally meant to be.  For others it was even more drastic.  Some beings showed a capacity toward heightened strength, agility, or in some extreme cases they grew wings and could fly.  And yet in other cases people could generate amazing amounts of electricity, or even generate lasers.  These were things that people could not do with the only beings capable of amazing feats being the Jedi.

For along time, mutants were things of rumor, myth and fear mongering.  But with the Clone Wars came the mutants, many of whom sided with the Separatists.  They desired to be left alone and the Separatists offered them protection in exchange for their aid.  It was only near the end of the Clone Wars when two Jedi masters, Charles Xaver and Eric Len’Shire uncovered the truth about mutants, and that the Seperatists had no intentions of letting them be in peace.  They were weapons both in the eyes of the Seperatists, and one simply does not let a weapon get away.  Doing what they could the two Jedi masters worked to hide away the mutants, and destroy any records that they existed.

Then came order 66, and the two Jedi masters were some of the few able to survive the order as they had chosen to act separately from the rest of the order to complete their own mission.  But the Empire also knew of the mutants and had their own plans for them.  As such a trap was laid and Eric was captured but not killed.  Corrupted by Palpatine himself the former Jedi master was turned into a brutal inquisitor, his own memories distorted and changed.  He would bring mutants into the Empire and ensure that they became a formidable force of living weapons.

Charles eventually confronted Eric and in a duel that should have left him dead, Eric instead crippled Charles who had managed to break through Eric's conditioning to some extent.  All the while the mutants they had with them fought each other.  In the end, Charles’s forces succeeded in forcing Eric’s forces to withdraw.

Universal:  Mutant Descendent Talent Tree

Restriction:  Mutants cannot learn to use the Force.

Gain Mutation Rating 1

Mutation Rating:  This works in a similar manner to Force Rating.  Each point in one’s rating allows the character to roll  Force die.  Though unable to use the Force the die allows for mutant to use their powers, which are treated in a similar manner as Force powers.

Physical Change notes:  In lieu of a Boost Die or reduction of a Penalty Die the character may instead choose to gain a wings or even a tail.

·         Wings allow for flight with movement being equal to how the character would normally move around, but the character has a turn radius and requires an Acrobatics roll in order to to make tight turns and corners.  Wings are large and bulky and thus can keep a person from using normal space suits and armor.

·         Extra Arms allow a person to hold more objects but do not grant extra attacks unless the character makes use of the Two-Weapon fighting, multiple attack rules.  Though the extra arms are typically undersized compared to the character’s normal arms and lack the full range of strength that they can use (treat the Brawn score as if halved for determining what the smaller arms can do).

·         Claws provide a natural weapon for the character in the form of clawed fingers (& toes if desired).  Damage is akin using brass knuckles for clawes, and they provide a Boost die to climbing rolls on appropriate surfaces.

Additional Physical Change can be taken to allow for the existing physical change a character has taken to instead be enhanced upon in some way.

·         Wings can be folded up to be more compact that they normally would be thus allowing for better ease in concealing them, or fitting into a space suit.

·         With Extra Arms the additional arms are now normal sized and a characters capacity to lift and do damage with the arms is like as if they were using their normal arms.

·         Claws at this point can be retracting and can be longer.  Finger claws retract in a bit  but when extended deal an extra +2 damage.  The other option is for longer claws or a blade that retracts into the arm/foot.  The damage is +2, but they provide no boost die for climbing.

 =======================================================================

Well here are just some of the mutant powers that I have completed (8/17/2015).  Now keep in mind that I have attempted to keep these balanced with Force powers to some degree, however there was no denying the usefulness of these powers, as such you will see that nearly all of the powers noted below will have XP costs higher than that of Force powers.

Mutant Powers

Mutants have a specific array of powers that they can have.  Typically a mutant will have one power set that they can master, but some do develop additional power sets.  The initial power set for a mutant costs the normal amount of XP to buy, like Force powers…however each additional power set that a mutant takes up beyond their initial power set sees the XP cost increase by +10.  The difference between Force powers and Mutant powers is that a character’s Mutation Rating can be increased via their powers.  Also mutation powers cost more XP than Force Powers due to them providing effects that are generally more useful or powerful than Force powers.
