Sorry if I tagged someone wrong but I am wondering who I should talk to about modifying a NPC submission to show the added things to it IE A few new droids that I want to be able to use and have somewhere that they are stored.

Can you link to the sub and give just a brief idea of what you are thinking about? It might indicate whether modification is appropriate or if a new submission will be required.

I want to modify Aedan's Security Team to implement a droid I gained from a friend here into an already made submission as to not clog the NPC unit thing as I am working on making a separate thread for a unit of Aedan's clansman soon.

[member="Aedan Miles"] As far as I know, that would need a separate npc submission from most other things...considering how different it is. You may just be better off linking to the tech submission, itself, when you use it in roleplay, instead of making a separate NPC submission. That's just my leaning though, it's murky waters.

If you are modifying the submission submit it to the submission modification thread and we will discuss it.

Would I be able to make a Mandalorian who has beskar armor if he'll rarely fight using it - if he would be fighting it would be against npcs?

No we are trying to keep beskar for PC's and with the clan skins npc mandalorians are in durasteel

 

[Andrea Kryze]

[member="Matsu Ike"] Okay, I'll write that he discarded his armor. Actually adds more to his backstory this way

Question, if one were to begin building an Armada Fleet, would they be using the Unit template, or is there an entirely different section somewhere for that, that I appear to be overlooking?

I don't think anyone's done a fleet sub, just because I've never been aware that starships counted as NPC in that same sense... However, seeing as people have used the species sub-forum to make plants I don't see why one couldn't make a submission for a fleet.

I'm just not sure if that'd be an NPC or Lore. I'll get back to you on that.

[member="Zambrano the Hutt"]

It would be considered an NPC unit.

I just read on another NPC submission that NPC Masters now need dev threads. Can someone confirm this?

 

[Boethiah]

[member="Captain Jordan"]

In almost all cases you will be asked for a dev thread for any master-ranked NPC.

The only time an exception has ever been made (to my knowledge) is when that NPC was intended only to be an event boss and killed.

Hey,

I have a question about what category this would fit into. I'm making a sub for a citadel that will have a group of lightsaber wielding warriors that defend it. Would they be a unit? I'm estimating 10 to 15 of them with a leader. Thanks

 

[Zambrano the Starweird]

If I am making a multitude of individual NPC's (about five I think, probably less), should I submit them individually, or group them up into a single submission?

It'd be a unit, yes.

You can do either. It really just depends on the depth of individuals that you are creating. Are you making them to be all part of the same unit? If so, then I'd go with a unit format like this. If they are more detailed than that I would do it like The Sons of Titan with each individual like this or this.

My question, I am wanting to make an NPC Arkanian dragon mixed with with Sith Alchemy used to create sith spawn. This dragon will be larger than say a Skyrim dragon, but not a massive giant that makes things unreasonable. It will be made from an egg of a Arkanian dragon that through Sith Alchemy it was fed life through a ritual that killed many force sensitive and energy vampires and the dragon in the egg absorbed it. The dragon is very strong and it's scales are force infused and able to protect it from weapons and the force (not diffidently...I am still working on how much.) It not only has the power to breath fire, but also a Dragon's Below which is a dragon version of a force push. I am still working on weaknesses, but one weakness is in order for it to "serve" someone that person must chop off their own arm at the shoulder with a certain sith sword that heals the wound to prevent bleed out, feed it to the dragon, fight and defeat the dragon with one arm. If the user is successful they get a dragon arm that is nothing special in ability and appearence, but what it does is link the dragon to the user. If the dragon is hurt, the user is hurt; if the dragon is killed, the user is killed.

My question is how long should the dev thread of something like this be? I plan to ether make multiple threads or one big one that includes, the discovery, then research of finding and defeating, the search of the sword needed to cut off the arm, and then the fight with the dragon.
