Predator (Yautja) converted to Star Wars Saga Edition
Unlike many of my other conversions, the Yautja species are excellent candidates as Player Characters.
I have adapted some points from Michael Tresca’s excellent Predator: Cazador de Trofeos stats for d20 modern.
Ability Modifiers: +4 Str, +4 Con, +2 Dex, -4 Cha
Darkvision Predators ignore concealment (and total concealment) from darkness.
Weapon Familiarity Predators treat their specialty weapons (wrist blades, spear guns, combi-stick, shuriken, dagger, and whip) as simple weapons for proficiency.
Bonus Feat Predators have Martial Arts I regardless of meeting the prerequisites.
Spring Step: When using High Jump or Long Jump applications of the Jump skill, reduce the number of squares required for a running start by 2.
The Yautja clans are governed by a Council of Ancients which consist of the oldest of the race. Their word is considered law and they ensure that the many Clans follow the law. Inter-clan warfare is watched over by the Ancients and they decide matters such as which planet is considered a clans hunting ground.
Making constructive contributions for their race, such as weapons crafting, hunting, gaining honor, destroying enemies, defending their species and caring for their planet, the Yautjas find satisfaction and determination in this, partly because it is logical for the benefit and good of their species and partly because it is constructive and for noble cause/better good/improvement and change.
Yautja are immensely loyal to their fellow hunters, unless that Yautja has betrayed the species or dishonored the hunt.
