No im thinking of the right thing,I know what they are. Maybe I didnt read em, but my gamemaster says they have a max of 5 in every attribute but start out with four less attribute dice, hes probably wrong but oh well.

I am sure that I had a Zabrak Jedi once. He had 6D perception and I don't think he could have had that good dex, that's all I can remember other than that

I'm very sure that WEG didn't have zabrak because they didn't even exist really until episode 1 was released, so how could they?

I think the conversions that they had on the Starwarsrpg.net were crap... his minimums and maximums were all fubared, if a species has max 6D then the minimum is not likely to be 2D according the the alien builder in GG8: Scouts it would be 4D minimum and 6D maximum... I'm pretty sure those conversions were posted by someone on the boards, and it sounds to me from what you're stating that the zabrak you used might have been made with that conversion from WoTC star wars...

All I would give them is a bonus to Stamina and Willpower skills personaly.

I have seen no evidence for the uber-high Stats.

Yeah on a d20 to d6 coversion site I've seen they had 4d max for everything and a bonus to willpower and I can't recall if they had an intimidation bonus or not

The site even had a conversion for a monkey lizard... just in case a player wanted to play as one of them... although they may not be sentient

Well you can always got to the WOTC site, and use thier conversion engine.

I gave them the 4D+2 to set them aside from being human... because other than the willpower and stamina thing, they'd just be a human with horns...

No, they have "near human" attributes.

But in some cases the diffrence is strictly cosmetic.
It all depends.

Hey, as long as you and your group have no problem with it then who cares?

I just stated why I belive they should not have them is all.

Ok, any alien who can inherently bend the wills of others is up there in my book. Zeltron and Falleen are definitely cool. Has anyone seen stats for the Zeltron? Or does anyone else kind of feel disappointed by the fact that the only thing the phermones of the Falleen do is affect persuasion skill?

Well in all honesty I would not like it if they had more than that…too many special abilities tends to unbalance the game.
