***NOTE: Actually, not all that much to note here save that Qui-Gon kicks a lot of ass. I kind of thought he was going to turn out fairly wimpy with all those Jedi Consular talents, but such was not the case. In fact, I reduced his CON and increased his WIS because he seemed to be ending up, TOO hearty. Oh, yeah...and I could find NO stat write-up for Qui-Gon in any of the Saga edition sourcebooks, nor in the core rules.

It IS kind of sad that the game is focused almost entirely on combat and combat applications. Every single talent, power, and feat gives some sort of combat bonus. Foresight? Its only rules is that it helps you re-roll initiative. Adept Negotiator? Talking to an opponent impairs their ability to fight. Pretty retarded I'm afraid.

One more thing regarding Qui-Gon: once he completes his Destiny, he gains a +1 bonus to each of his defenses...not that it saved him from his impalement. It's interesting (from a game perspective) how many characters get killed or wiped out shortly after achieving their Destiny. From the game perspective, this stems from the rule that Destiny points cannot be spent after fulfilling one's Destiny until a new Destiny has be chosen. If Qui-Gon was a PC, he appears to have been shut down by the Jedi Council in this regard (he wanted to move onto the "Educate" Destiny, but the Jedi Council asked him to put off any decisions on Anakin till after the Sith crisis was over. Unfortunately, he got burned prior to a resolution).***

  1. I wouldn't worry about the CON; Neeson is a big man (taller than the sets, as I recall), so "hearty" seems like the right word to describe him.

    This is one of the things which bled through to D&D4 too; there are a small number of non-combat powers, but they're all rubbish, and everything else is geared towards fighting.

  2. Qui-Gon was stated in the first d20 Star Wars game (the one prior to the Revised edition). They has him as a 12th or 13th level Jedi IIRC (that edition didn't have separate Jedi Knight or Master prestige classes - those titles were just part of the Jedi core class level progression)
