PERSENUS
Well that would make Rocho's job easier for tracking him down at least. Plus, he prefers personal combat anyway. Space combat is fine for him, he just thinks it pulls some of the true battle out of it. Especially against others who are more known for their skill in personal combat.
Sniping
can be effective if the force user doesn't have particularly high awareness. Rocho himself has that, and there have been a number of interactions he's had with force sensitives where sniping becomes nearly useless due to precognition.
HK would be correct for an average trained force sensitive at the time, as most jedi probably aren't that actively prepared. A lot of the characters in the KOTOR games also don't show particularly high levels of precognition. Also yeah he uses a slughtrower when sniping most of the time (he prefers them in general, but especially when hunting or sniping), he actually uses one that works especially well against force users, because it's got a crap load of power behind it. So he actually
hopes they try and block it, if they notice it.
In an RP though, a lot of writers tend to just have high enough active precognition that they end up noticing it. I can absolutely start Rocho off sniping. He usually uses this:
heklerkok-amr-1-anti-materiel-rifle. It's an older one. HOnestly I planned on making a new one, but just never got around to it. I keep an energy based on as a backup in case the hekler gets officially outdated, as it's still under approved tech. It's an anti-material rifle, which means if it hits a person...it is gonna cause some serious issues regardless of where it hit. Plus the distance means he can often get multiple shots in before anyone can even get to him. That's another reason I may do PVP threads as him not using it, unless it's either a campaign/war thread that would involve him hitting NPC's, or it is agreed upon pre-rp.
