I should have been a little more clear but Kylantha is correct.

I still can't believe it was Mark Hammill doing the voice of The Joker in Batman: The Animated Series.
I just can't get my mind to wrap around that voice coming out of his mouth.
That suprises me as well.

New Features Storyteller Enhance your player-driven stories and adventures with a new series of props, effects, and attackable NPCs. You may place these objects in player cities or in the wild on non adventure planets. You will have to invite other players to your story before they will be allowed to attack NPCs or open containers you have placed. To begin telling your story, purchase storyteller tokens from Storyteller Vendors located in NPC theaters across the galaxy. To find a theater near you, open your planetary map (the V key by default) then from the right-hand menu choose Guild Halls and then Theater. Right-click the theater nearest you and make a new waypoint to guide you to your destination. Use the storyteller button in your command browser, or type /storyteller, to list all the Storyteller commands! Beast Master Beast Master Expertise is an exciting new feature in Chapter 6. These are new creature-centric abilities available to all players, regardless of profession or level, through a third expertise tree. Harvest DNA from the wild, obtain and craft enzymes, and incubate your fully customizable creature! Adventure in the wilds to learn abilities and level up your pet. See the Friday Feature posted on April 20th for detailed instructions on Incubation. Beast Incubation - Players are limited to one active incubator unit per character. Incubators must be placed in a player structure to activate. Picking up the Incubator unit will cleanse any active experiments. The length of time between experimentation sessions is based on Incubator Functionality rating and purchased expertise boxes.
Beast Loyalty and Happiness - Make sure your pet is kept happy through craftable foods, tricks, and planetary travels. Keeping your pet happy in the long term will enable it to learn more abilities.
Beast Toolbar - All Beast commands that your beast is eligible for will be automatically added on the pet toolbar. Right click an ability to toggle it as an auto-repeating attack. The beast will perform the ability if it has enough action and the cool-down has expired. Two beast dispositions on this bar toggle your pet between defending you if attacked and ignoring attacks on the master. You must have training in Beast Master to use any ability beyond ‘stay’ and ‘follow.’
Beast Leveling - Beasts level on the master gaining combat experience. The enemy NPC must con green or higher for the beast to gain experience. If you wish to keep your pet at their current growth level, use the radial option to toggle beast experience gain off.
Beast Death - If your beast perishes in combat use the "Revive Beast" ability granted in the first expertise box of Beast Master.
Creature Mounts - Calling a creature mount will now place you upon its back automatically. Dismounting from a creature mount will now auto-store the mount.
Legacy Pets - All legacy pets in player datapads now have an option to "stuff" them for display in your home. Stuffed pets may also be used in the Incubation process if you wish them to live again. Stuffed pets receive bonuses in the Incubation process.
Wild Creature Special Abilities Going hand-in-hand with the new Beast Master system, wild creatures have new specials attacks and combat abilities. Some of these abilities are learnable by the player when attacking these creatures. These abilities can then be trained to your Beast if they have the appropriate number of skill points and are of the correct creature type. Be wary going into the wilds! Rebel Theme Park New adventures await those who work for the Rebel Alliance! Visit C-3PO on Corellia to begin them. Foraging Foraging has been updated to work with Beast Master Rules of Foraging - After attempting to forage in a location, you must move at least 5m to another location before attempting forage again.
- After a successful forage, you cannot forage in that spot again this session (per character).
- You have a 50% chance to successfully forage an item and a 50% chance to get nothing.
- Foraged items include Bait, Lyase Enzymes, and Treasure Maps.
Treasure Maps The major differences between this version of treasure maps and the treasure map functionality available to players at launch in 2003 include the following: - The enemies scale to the combat level of the player attempting to extract the treasure unless the player is below or above the map max level.
- The enemies scale in number and combat level based on the player attempting to extract the treasure while in a group.
- The treasure extracted is actually valuable to players between the treasure min/max levels.
- Credits are not part of the extracted treasure and nothing is divided between the player and other group members (unless manually traded).
The Azure Cabal Look for your contact at the cantina in Theed to learn more about the Azure Cabal, a new quest series. Chapter 6 Publish Notes Mounts and Vehicles - Mounts/vehicles: You can no longer call a mount or vehicle while rooted.
- Vehicles: You can no longer enter a vehicle while rooted.
Combat Changes There have been significant changes to the internal workings of our combat engine. Game play for the end user should remain unchanged, but some new results are possible once you pull the trigger. New Values - Miss
- NPCs and players with ranged weapons in Auto-Aim mode have a base 5% chance to miss their target. Factors such as debuffs and movement increase the player’s chance to miss. Buffs and the strength stat reduce the chance to miss.
- The base miss chance for melee and Manual-Aim mode is 0%.
- Dodge
- Dodge is a defensive attribute that gives a chance to avoid incoming damage. On a successful roll, the attack will be treated as a miss and no damage will be applied.
- Block
- Block is a defensive attribute that has a chance to mitigate additional damage based on the defender’s block score. Block mitigation is applied after armor so it is possible to reduce incoming damage to 0 with a high enough Block Value.
- Parry
- Parry is a melee defensive attribute that will allow the defender to negate a successful attack. Normal parry can only block other melee attacks, though Lightsaber weapons can parry ranged attacks as well.
- Strikethrough
- Strikethrough is a type of critical which instead of adding damage will bypass a percentage of your target’s armor. The Strikethrough amount is based on the attacker’s Strikethrough Value.
- Evasion
- Evasion is a defensive attribute that will allow the target to avoid a percentage of damage from an Area Effect attack. The amount of percentage evaded is determined by the defender’s Evasion Value.
- Punishing Blow
- A punishing blow is a type of critical only available to NPCs that do 150% damage. Elite and Boss category NPCs (as well as those higher level than the player) can land a punishing blow.
Updated Values Glancing Blows - The damage reduction from a glancing blow has been reduced from 96% to 60%. In addition, Elite and Boss category NPCs (as well as those higher level than the player) have a natural chance to receive a glancing blow.
Devastation - The Commando heavy weapon attribute Devastation damage bonus has been reduced from 200% to 150%.
- Heavy Weapons
- Base Heavy Weapon damage has been reduced from 115% to 100%.
Damage Over Time - Damage caused by Damage Over Time (DoT) effects are now reduced via armor protections as indicated below:
- Bleeding - Cold Protection
- Poison - Acid Protection
- Disease - Cold Protection
- Fire - Heat Protection
- Acid - Acid Protection
- Energy - Electricity Protection
- There is now a secondary resistance check on each DoT "tick" that will give a chance to resist for partial damage.
Armor Different armor types add an increase resistance to certain DoT types based on the number of slots covered by that armor type. The effect becomes most pronounced when wearing a similar type of armor over all slots that normally offer protection. - Bleeding - Recon Armor
- Poison - Battle Armor
- Disease - Recon Armor
- Fire - Assault Armor
- Acid - Assault Armor
- Energy - Battle Armor
PvP Damage Reduction - The Player vs. Player damage reduction has been reduced from 25% to 0%.
Direct Target vs. Area Effect Combat Results - Hit Types for a direct target attack are Miss, Dodge, Parry, Block, Glancing, Hit, Strikethrough, Critical, and Punishing Blow.
- Hit Types for Area Effect attacks are Glancing, Block, Evade, Critical and Punishing Blow.
- Note that most Heavy Weapons are treated as Area Effect attacks.
Player Attributes The way in which player attributes feed into the combat formula has been altered: - Stamina and Constitution remain unchanged.
- Precision: Affects Parry, Block Chance, Critical Hit Chance and Strikethrough Chance.
- Agility: Affects Dodge, Parry and Evasion Chance.
- Strength: Affects Block Chance, Block Value, Hit Chance, and adds a damage bonus to melee attacks.
- Luck: Affects Dodge Chance, Evasion Chance, Evasion Value, Critical Hit Chance, Strikethrough Chance and Strikethrough Value.
NPC Combat - Creature-type NPCs now have the ability to perform special attacks.
- NPCs will now be less inclined to leave the area while fighting indoors.
- The idle time between decisions for NPCs has been removed.
NPC Statistics - Normal class NPCs above level 10 have gained an Armor Rating.
- The Armor Rating gain scale for Elite and Boss class NPCs has been increased.
- The Damage Value gain scale for Normal, Elite and Boss class NPCs has been increased.
Other Combat Changes - Personal Shield Generators (PSGs) will now take armor diminishing returns into consideration.
- Personal Shield Generators (PSGs) no longer errantly double the protection you receive against any damage that has an elemental component.
- Enabled root and snare resistance for a number of high end creatures
- Area Effect attacks now have a chance to trigger reactive procedural effects.
- Reactive procedural effects are now normalized based on attack speed.
- Jedi robes are counted as "Recon" armor for the purposes of DoT resists.
- The DoT absorption cap has been lowered to 65%.
- You no longer lose action or activate cooldown timers when attempting to use a self-only heal while you are at full health.
Traders - Geothermal Survey Device draft schematics added to all traders.
Structure Traders - Geothermal Energy Generator draft schematics have been added to structure traders.
Munition Traders - Added 14 new draft schematics. These are "Dietary Supplements" for beasts.
- These supplements are used to greatly increase a beast’s experience gain.
- Only beasts under level 75 can benefit from these.
- There are two experimentation lines, one for charges and one for the actual experience bonus.
- Bonus is a straight percent. If you craft a supplement that had 500, that means the beast will get 500% bonus.
- Each supplement works on different types of creatures. The description for each supplement lists what beast types it works on.
Domestic Traders - 1 new draft schematic added. This is a sub-component needed for crafting Beast Dietary Supplements.
- Domestic Traders can now create 12 new food substitutes used to feed animal companions.

Sabrehawk of SWG WarCry recently chatted with new Community Manager Joe "GreyPawn" Pishgar about his background, thoughts on Star Wars Galaxies, and more. Warcry: Now that you've had a few weeks to settle in, what kind of impressions have you formed of the game's community? GreyPawn: I have to say, my initial impressions were very wrong. As an outsider, the Star Wars Galaxies community looked very insular and daunting to a newcomer. Hardcore passion about a game and its systems and lore, while great, can serve as a barrier to entry for the newbie. The great thing about the SWG community is its cohesiveness. It's got a strong, growing community and that's appealing to anyone. Click here to read WarCry's interview and get to know GreyPawn.

Grrrrr
This time I was here at 12:30 waiting for the challenge to see it already happened
I think this is a conspiracy as Virrago knows the next time I am going to compete I am going to win!!!!
D.M.
Normally I try to get these going around 2:30pm Central time but since I had to leave at 1pm for the day I couldn't. My choices were to either run it early or skip it till October 11th.

No players have organized any player events and posted them in this thread. So Bloodfin wouldn't show up on that page.

Good luck to you Jaxin on your story and look forward to reading it

I think the word-limit is a good thing; the more limits placed on your story, the more you have to work as a writer to get your point across.
Also, I have to think Virrago is female:
Main Entry: vi·ra·go Pronunciation: v&-'rä-(")gO, -'rA-; 'vir-&-"gO Function: noun Inflected Form(s): plural -goes or -gos Etymology: Middle English, from Latin viragin-, virago, from vir man -- more at VIRILE 1 : a loud overbearing woman : TERMAGANT 2 : a woman of great stature, strength, and courage - vi·rag·i·nous /v&-'ra-j&-n&s/ adjec Message Edited by eldiablotejano on 09-24-2006 05:27 AM
With one r it is female... with two it is male :p
