Rebellion Era Infinities Sourcebook.........Coming!

[Treefrog]

With as much fun as what I experienced in working on the RotEISB, CaamasiJedi49 and I have decided to continue with the next era: the Rebellion Era Infinities Sourcebook.

Picking up from the events in the RotEISB, this sourcebook will continue, only with the fun twists that infinities does for a SW fan.

There is one major change for this new book: I, and CaamasiJedi49 have decided to ask one of the contributors of the RotEISB to also co-author this book as well. That person is none other than JediPowell, and he accepted.

As to the events that we've already worked on, once the furor of the RotEISB is for the most part finished, one of us will post those events that we've finished.

This is great news Treefrog...

I haven't had an opportunity to read through any of the advanced copy I have of RotEI sourcebook yet (as I had to rush off to work this morning), but I'm glad to see the dedication that brought us this first work will continue on into the second.

Great stuff guys! Thanks for keeping the SW RPG alive...

This... will be most appreciated.

In advance I once again offer you my services as a Contributor.

I cant wait for things to come around.

By any chance can you tell us wether this is going to be an Infinities continuation of the ROTEISB or a rather an Infinities from the start of the rebellion era. Also what event if so will change the course of History in this case, are you taking the route of the comics (Lukes shots not destroying the Death Star, luke dying on Hoth, c-3po getting his head smacked off at jabbas) or are you making it another event?

[JediPowell]

Well...not to speak for Treefrog or Camjedi....

we will not follow the Dark Horse infinities...

doing such would just take all the fun out of the co-authors getting to make the changes ourselves....

so no we will probably come up with different and equally enjoyable twists to this era...as Treefrog came up with in the clone wars sourcebook....

[Treefrog]

To back up what JediPowell said, this sourcebook will continue to build upon the events from the RotEISB. Plus all subsequent books.

While entertaining to read, the Infinities comics were IMO, just the authors of those three comics.

But then again so are these sourcebooks that the three of us are doing as well.

Here is the one of the first new material that will be appearing in the REISB:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Force Transmission (Force Feat)

Prerequisites: Alter, Sense, Telepathy: 15 ranks, Illusion: 12 ranks, Force-user level: 15
Vitality Point Usage: 10 VP to activate, plus 5 additional VP per round that the transmission lasts.
Benefit: Upon activation of the feat, a Force-user may send a telepathic message, not unlike a holonet message, to a targeted recipient.
Time: Full-round action to prepare to send the message. After that it takes as long as the message lasts. Preparing and creating the message provoke attacks of opportunity.
Special: To successfully link with the recipient, the transmitter must make a Will check (DC 20 plus modifiers). Success by 5 or more results in a VP reduction of 2 to the cost of the transmission. Distance results in additional modifiers, shown in the following table:

Line of Sight: +0
Under 10 km: +4
Same System: +6
Same Sector: +8
Throughout the Galaxy: +10

In addition, the transmitting character must be personally familiar with the recipient.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lucas Carr suggested the Will Check, and Kaeroth helped with the prereqs, time,etc for this new feat, and both will get credit for their involvement.

Any comments about the feat?

[JediPowell]

would change this from just sending a message....more like establishing a two communication....for limited period of time....

also would like to discuss your reason for the feat in a chat or email...

[Drivis Corle]

I'd have some modifiers to it for those with close bonds/family ties. Hell, I personally would like to be able to do it without the requirements in those cases. Luke did with Leia at Cloud city. Anyway, just the two cents of Drivis and A'res

Overall, I like it.

The will check modifiers seem a little low though, from my perspectives... especially the 'Through the galaxy'. If I were to incorporate this into my campaign, I might want to increase each level check (aside from 'Line of Sight') by 2. My reasons for this, is mainly because of personal campaign perspectives, but also... I think that 'Through the galaxy' should be slightly higher given the overall galactic distances between transmission locations.

I would also like to suggest letting Force Mind and such(Knight, and Master) helping since it does help control mind after all.

[Mack Jace]

I don't have any comments, but I just wanted to offer my help with whatever you need, be it getting coffee, shredding papers, etc. But whatever I can do, let me know.

[CaamasiJedi49]

Your offer of support is appreciated. I expect things to begin very soon, in a month or so. Until then, enjoy Our current book.

Once more, I would like to offer my congrats to you primary guys on the last book- I'm honored to have contributed even in the small way I did.

I'll reinterate my offer in the Comments of doing some stat workups or maybe even some short fiction (if I have the time- college bites like that) for this new book.

I'll keep my eye on the project in any case.
