I have been watching clips (and whole episodes) of The Clone Wars and clips from Star Wars: Rebels and this has gotten me to want to dig up the old Star Wars Roleplaying Game and create an avian Jedi. I have two options: the old d6 West End Games Star Wars RPG which is relatively easy to get into and create a character for but is a very obscure game or the D20 system referenced earlier. I do not have the Saga system or the newest non-Wizards of the Coast version. Now there are three avian races in West End version that were common around the galaxy: the Mrissi, the Mrlssi, and the Shayshay. The first two are relatively similar versions of each other and are bird of preyish in appearance with the only difference being that the Mrissi having a more uniform covering of feathers and vestigial wings. The Shayshay are basically anthropomorphic parrots known for their singing ability. In the D20 system, the one I would rather use due to more people being familiar with it, the Mrissi and Shayshay are gone and the Mrlssi appear more deinonychus like in appearance and size. They also get a seemingly unfair penalty to both strength and dexterity. -4 Str and -4 Dex for a race that barely reaches a meter tall? No thank you. The strength penalty I understand but not the penalty to dexterity. Part of the population would end up making Jar Jar Binks look graceful. I have thought of taking the simple route of just adapting the Aarakocra to Star Wars. All of this is moot and just a project for fun as I have no one to play with though.
