Character Composite: HK-47


HK-47 requires no introduction, meatbag. He appears in both Knights of the Old Republic video games, as well as the Star Wars Galaxies expansion Trials of Obi-Wan.

HK-47 is a killing machine, as his stats clearly show. Assassin was the best prestige class for him, as it lets him pile on even more dice when he gets a hit (an extra +1d6+3 against a "mark" he chooses at the start of combat, and an extra +1d6 whenever he moves an enemy down the condition track, which is very often; plus, Sniping Assassin gives him +3 damage against targets not in point blank range). He's got the ability to bring even the toughest foes down pretty quickly.

As he's a well-prized assassin droid, I even gave him enhanced Dexterity from the Superior Tech feat and a much-improved blaster rifle; the hair trigger lets him reroll damage once per encounter (taking the better result) when he uses Rapid Shot, the double trigger improves his aiming, and the targeting scope is just necessary for sniping.
