You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'm playing D&D tonight! I haven't played in years! Yay! I believe I shall be a thief. Or a rogue. Or whatever the new system will let do for a ne'er-do-well with a heart of gold-plate and a fine sense of self-preservation and an appreciation of other people's fine things.

We didn't do anything about Strikers or anything like that. Just a good ol' "look an ambush, kill 'em!" encounter. It was nice.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I like how rogues have more power to do damage in 4e.

Editing question for Star Wars geeks:

The white helmets and plastic armor help to distinguish the Storm Troopers from the Jedi knights in Star Wars (1977).

Is Storm Trooper one or two words? What should be capitalized there and in Jedi knight?

Thanks.

Megan, here's LucasArts' list of press releases. They use both Jedi Master and Jedi General, so I'd definitely say Jedi Knight.

I believe stormtrooper is one word, but I've got nothing to back that up with at the moment.

Wookiepedia agrees about Jedi Knight, and says that Stormtrooper is one word.

From Lucasfilm and starwars.com it seems to be Jedi Knight and stormtrooper. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Also, in the category of "more than I needed to know about stormtrooper armor", I present the following:

"The soldiers of the Empire struck with frightening anonymity, their faces completely obscured by unmistakable white armor. While the 18-piece armored shell offers limited protection from blaster fire, it also serves as a weapon of terror.
The bone-white armor fits over a black temperature-control body glove. Built-in helmet comlinks supplemented by belt-mounted hand-held units ensure that stormtroopers are always in touch with their superiors. Standardized utility belts offer ammunition for blaster sidearms, and helpful tools such as grappling hooks and cable. Stormtrooper armor also serves as a limited space suit for protection against hard vacuum."
