Force & Destiny Pre-Gens: Human Sentinel/Shadow

Yet another pre-gen, and again one that's not a lightsaber user.  I took the core idea for this character from the notion of Mara Jade in her capacity as the Emperor's Hand, a role for which this character could very well fit, at least in terms of being a covert spy.

Design Notes: Like I said, a prototypical Mara Jade type of character, though obviously she's much more focused on the "being sneaky" aspects than being an assassin.  She took a hit to her starting Characteristics, only having two scores at a 3 but she needed that XP for her starting Force powers and to get those two ranks in Skulduggery.

The lockpicks are something I scrounged up from older Star Wars RPG notes of mine, initially written for WotC's RCR version.  Here, they're meant to serve as a primitive counterpart to the electronic lock breaker; in effect a set of thieves' tools for breaking & entering as well as disabling primitive security methods.  Cost-wise I figure 100 credits is about right, with it being an Encumbrance 1 item.  It'd probably also be of some use in picking an electronic lock, but wouldn't qualify a bonus as per the "right tool for the job" sidebar in that instance.
