Unfortunately, progress on finishing up Age of Star Wars is a little behind. Life stuff aside, editing and tightening-up certain game mechanics has taken longer than expected. Not the least of these is the scoundrel class. It is the only class that has not seen a whole of playtesting. Hopefully that will change after Wednesday night when I will be running a one-shot. The class as it stands now is below.

As much as I would like to keep to a twice a week schedule, it is more likely that I will only be posting on Mondays going forward.

SCOUNDREL

Outlaws and rogues, scoundrels live outside the law and make up the rules as they go. Scoundrels are opportunistic and you are at your best when you can use your charisma to turn things in your favor. Blasting your way out of problem though is always an option when your smooth talking won’t do. See more information about the scoundrel.
