Jedi Knight

Jedi knights combine discipline with martial skills and the force to become the best pure warriors in the galaxy. Jedi knights can be stalwart defenders of those in need or brave adventurers. They fight for glory, honor or to right wrongs.

ALL IN A DAY’S WORK

Many Jedi knights see adventures, raids on enemy strongholds, and dangerous missions as their jobs. Some want to defend those who can’t defend themselves while others seek to use their muscle to carve their own place of importance in the galaxy. Jedi knights can take the form of guards, champions, bounty hunters, enforcers, mercenaries, freedom fighters, or simply armed explorers.

CODE RED

Most Jedi knights come to the profession after completing the Jedi trials .
While creating your Jedi knight character, consider where your loyalties lie. You could be part of a formal military, one of countless troopers fighting for your enterprise. Perhaps you are a gun-for-hire, traveling the galaxy in search of your next gig. What weapons do you prefer and specialize in? Who or what do you fight for? Do you have aspirations of a life beyond the battlefield, or have you been at war so long you know of nothing else?
QUICK BUILD You can make a fighter quickly by following these suggestions. First, make Strength or Dexterity your highest ability modifier, depending on whether you want to focus on melee combat or on ranged weapons (or finesse weapons). Your next-highest score should be Constitution. Second, choose the soldier background.
