1. Select Species

The first step is for players to select their Species. Obviously a character can only have 1 Species.  The Species provides the Starting Attributes for the character, as well as a Skill based on that Species' background. Finally each Species has a handful of Special Features which set that Species apart from others in the galaxy.

Arkanian

 

Description

Arkanian society and history are among the most complex in the Old Republic. At different times in its history, Arkania has belonged to both the Republic and the Sith Empire, and played important roles in each. Knowledge and research are extremely important to the Arkanians, and they are highly skilled academicians and scientists. It is therefore not surprising that Arkania would become a main repository of the history of the Sith Empire, as well as home to vast libraries of information from across the galaxy.

Arkanians are not afraid to profit from their research and high intelligence. Arkanian corporations amass wealth by bringing key medical treatments and technology to the market at opportune times. Many in the galaxy find the Arkanians arrogant and aloof. They are horrified by the direction of some Arkanian research, particularly their work in genetic engineering. Indeed, the Arkanians are known to have transformed entire Species over the course of generations, often to the detriment of the Species.

Even the Arkanian Species itself had not been off-limits to research and genetic engineering. Specific subspecies, such as the Arkanian Offshoots, were engineered for specific tasks. However, the Arkanian Offshoots are less hardy and shorter lived than the original Arkanians- a trait not helped by occasional attempts by racist Purebloods to wipe them out. They also differ in physical appearance, typically in skin tone, eyes, and ears. Reactions to Arkanian Offshoots vary widely within Arkanian society. Much to the horror of the occasional outsiders who visit Arkanian Offshoot communities, some Arkanian regard them as merely tools or as a slave Species. However, such feelings are not universal. Many regard the Arkanian Offshoots as an example of the cruel consequences of Arkanian corporate greed.

Personality: Arkanians are arrogant and regard themselves superior to all other Species. Even those with a more moderate viewpoint still believe themselves to be among the more intelligent Species in the galaxy. As such, they prefer the company of fellow Arkanians.

Physical Description: Arkanians are bipedal humanoids with a near-Human appearance. Arkanian eyes have no visible iris or pupil, and are typically stark white in color. They possess four clawed digits, three fingers and a thumb.

Average Height/Weight: A typical Arkanian stands 1.8 meters tall and weighs 75 kilograms.

Homeworld: The frigid and inhospitable world of Arkania, in the Perave System of The Colonies region.

Languages: Arkanians speak their native tongue of Arkanian, as well as Basic.

Example Names: Arkoh Adasca, Dolvan Genarik, Jaro Salaban, Kalor Nelprin, Marael Kortva, Sulan Bek.

Adventures: Arkanian heroes are typically Diplomats, Engineers, Explorers, Scholars or Slicers. Many attempt to counter the reputation that all Arkanians are greedy, out-of-control scientists out to change the galaxy to benefit Arkanian corporations. Even Jedi Arkanians are met with skepticism and distrust, despite their position.

Medium Size: As Medium creatures, Arkanians have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.

Bothan

 

Description

Native to Bothawui, these short, fur-covered humanoids have had hyperspace travel for thousands of years. Bothans use information as a measure of wealth and power, even wielding it as a weapon when necessary. The Bothan SpyNet, one of the largest intelligence agencies during most eras, plays an important role in the Galactic Civil War.

Culturally, Bothans don't believe in direct conflict because it destroys people, material, and even information. They prefer behind-the-scenes manipulation, watching and waiting for information that they can use to gain status and influence. This attitude makes espionage a natural part of their culture. While others often find Bothans to be manipulative and irritating, no one wants to lose access to their SpyNet. As a result, nearly all groups have at least some contact with the Bothans.

Personality: Bothans are curious, manipulative, crafty, suspicious, and even a bit paranoid. They can be irritating, but they are also loyal and brave.

Physical Description: Bothans are covered with fur that ripples in response to their emotional state. They have tapered ears, and both male and female Bothans sport beards. They average about 1.6 meters tall and have a maturity rate and life span slightly greater than Humans.

Average Height/Weight: The typical Bothan stands at 1.6 meters in height, and averages at 55 kilograms in weight.

Homeworld: The industrial world of Bothawui is the birthplace of the Bothans, along with various colony worlds throughout The Mid Rim territories.

Languages: Bothans speak, read, and write both Bothese and Basic.

Example Names: Borsk Fey'lya, Karka Kre'fey, Koth Melan, Tav Breil'lya, Tereb Ab'lon.

Adventurers: Bothan adventures, often SpyNet operatives, engage in daring Spu missions at great personal risk. In addition, many Bothan heroes serve as Soldiers, Scoundrels, and Diplomats. Their curiosity leads some to be Explorers.

Medium Size: As Medium creatures, Bothans have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.

Cerean

 

Description

Cereans are a sophisticated and cultured humanoid Species native to Cerea, a world on the fringes of known space. Their elongated heads distinguish them from most other humanoid Species.

Cereans established contact with the rest of the galaxy shortly before the Galactic Republic was transformed into the Empire, swiftly gaining fame as expert astrogators, cryptographers, and economists. Few patterns or trends escape the notice of a Cerean.

Cerean society is matriarchal, and the Cerean culture's traditional values emphasize living in harmony with nature and minimizing any impact on the environment from technology. The peaceful philosophies of The Jedi appeal to Cereans, and many join the Order.

Personality: Cereans tend to be calm, rational, and extremely logical.

Physical Description: Cereans average about 2 meters tall, with elongated craniums housing binary brains. They have a maturity rate and life span similar to those of Humans.

Average Height/Weight: A typical Cerean male stands at 2.0 meters tall and weighs 78 kilograms, while a typical Cerean female stands at 1.8 meters tall and weighs 58 kilograms.

Homeworld: The blissful planet Cerea.

Languages: Cereans speak, read, and write both Cerean and Basic.

Example Names: Ki-Adi, So Leet, Sylvn, Ti-Dal, Maj-Odo.

Adventurers: Cereans who become adventurers do so in spite of their peaceful traditions. Still, when a cause or situation leads down this path, a Cerean tries to keep these traditions intact, avoiding aggression when possible. The binary brain allows a Cerean to constantly weigh both sides in any disagreement and give two points of view equal consideration. This ability extends even to issues surrounding The Force, and a Cerean Jedi often contemplates The Light Side and The Dark Side simultaneously.

Medium Size: As Medium creatures, Cereans have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.

Special Features

Feature Name	Description
Bonus Skill	Cereans come from a just and fair world, and so gain 1 point in either Negotiation or Logic.

Chiss

 

Description

Originating on the cold world of Csilla in The Unknown Regions, the Chiss were largely unknown to the greater galactic community until five years after the Battle of Yavin, when a Chiss known as Grand Admiral Thrawn rallied the Imperial remnant and went to war against the New Republic. Even then, the Chiss remained an enigmatic, secretive Species. Their origins were largely unknown, even to the Chiss themselves, though some scientists believe they were descended from an isolated Human colony lost to time.

The Chiss were technologically advanced, keenly interested in art and science, and skilled at mathematics. Though logical in their mindset, they were also appreciative of philosophy, and interested in other cultures. Given their xenophobic tendencies, it comes as no surprise that the Chiss used their understanding of non-Chiss cultures to gain a tactical advantage over potential adversaries.

Chiss society was highly ordered and structured. Rule of law was controlled and enforced by a small number of ruling "Families." These ruling families, also known as clans or houses, were more akin to different branches of government than to actual familial units. As a rule, a Chiss would never knowingly do anything to bring shame upon his or her family, for entire lines have been exiled for the actions of a single family member.

The culture of the Chiss was based on a strict code of conduct. As a rule, they do not attack an opponent unless they are attacked first. Although most Chiss were peaceful, once embroiled in military conflict, they did not relent until their opponents were either totally destroyed, or completely subjugated.

Personality: Many of the galaxy's perceptions of the Chiss and how they behave is initially based on the personality of Grand Admiral Thrawn. As the years passed, it became increasingly obvious that all Chiss are individuals, and that Thrawn was an exceptional member of his Species in a number of ways. As such, the impression of the Chiss held by the galaxy at large is that they are arrogant, aloof, and calculating individuals. While this may be true in some instances, Chiss personalities are as varied as those of any other Species. In general, they tend to be well-educated, artistic, and cautious in their dealings with strangers.

Physical Description: Chiss have deep blue skin and red glowing eyes. The shade of their skin and the crimson of their eyes deepens with the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere that they breathe. They tend to have black hair, though some individuals, especially female Chiss, develop grey hair as they age.

Average Height/Weight: A typical Chiss male stands at 1.85 meters tall and weighs 85 kilograms, while a typical Chiss female stands at 1.7 meters tall and weighs 65 kilograms.

Homeworld: The frigid world of Csilla, in The Unknown Regions.

Languages: Cheunh is the complex and nuance-laden language of the Chiss. Most non-Chiss have difficulty learning the intricacies of Cheunh. Chiss on the other hand, have little difficulty mastering Basic, though most of them are unfamiliar with it.

Example Names: Chiss traditionally have long, tripartite names. When dealing with non-Chiss, these names are abbreviated. Examples of abbreviated Chiss names include Deel, Prakk, Karyce, Lev, Sorn, Szardra, Thrawn, Voss, and Zilvad.

Adventurers: Their keen mental acuity allows the Chiss to excel at nearly any occupation they choose to pursue. While there are no known Chiss Jedi, Force-sensitive Chiss children help navigate the complex Hyperlanes of The Unknown Regions.

Medium Size: As Medium creatures, Chiss have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.

Special Features

Feature Name	Description
Bonus Skill	The Chiss are very clever and can come to correct conclusions with less data than other species. They can add a skill point to Alertness, Searching or Deduction.
Low-Light Vision	Chiss ignore Concealment (but not Cover Concealment) from darkness.
Infranoid Senses	Chiss can perceive subtle changes in another creature's heat signatures and body language, giving them an edge in social encounters. Whenever a Chiss is attempting to use Insight to gauge another creature it is within 3 meters of, the Chiss can reroll up to 2 dice.
Calm	Chiss are a calm people. Whenever a Chiss is using Emotional Control, they can reroll up to 2 dice.
Calculating	Chiss are clever thinkers and capable of thinking through complex scenarios. Whenever a Chiss is making a Deduction skill check, they can reroll up to 2 dice.

Duros

 

Description

Tall, hairless humanoids from the Duro System, Duros were one of the first Species to become a major influence in the Galactic Republic, and many respected scholars credited the Duros with creating the first hyperdrive. The Duros have a natural affinity for space travel, possessing an innate grasp of the mathematical underpinnings of astrogational computations. Many tales are swapped in cantinas about Duros astrogators calculating the coordinates for supposedly impossible jumps in their heads. Although not as numerous as Humans, the Duros are almost as omnipresent; all but the smallest settlements in known space feature Duros populations.

The Duros Species has existed on other worlds in isolation from the rest of their kind, evolving in slightly different directions from the baseline Species. The most populous and well-known near-Duros Species are the Neimoidians, a people rarely encountered during The Rebellion Era.

Personality: A Duros tends to be intense and adventurous, always seeking to learn what's at the end of the next hyperspace jump. They are a proud, self-sufficient, fun-loving people who also have a tendency toward gregariousness.

Physical Description: Duros average about 1.8 meters tall. They are hairless, with large eyes and wide, lipless mouths. Skin color ranges from blue-gray to deep azure.

Average Height/Weight: A typical Duros stands at 1.8 meters tall and weighs 70 kilograms.

Homeworld: The orbiting cities of Duro.

Languages: Duros speak, read, and write both Durese and Basic.

Example Names: Baniss Keeg, Elior, Kadlo, Kir Vantai, Lai Nootka, Monnda Tebbo.

Adventurers: Duros adventurers include hyperspace explorers, star charters, and spacers of all descriptions as Explorers. Some Duros shun exploration in favor of smuggling and trading as Scoundrels, and a small number go into diplomatic professions as Diplomats. They also tend to gravitate toward the sciences, including engineering and astrogation as Engineers.

Medium Size: As medium creatures, Duros have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.

Special Features

Feature Name	Description
Bonus Skill	Duros are highly advanced and can add a point to any Spacefarer skill.

Droid

 

Description

A Droid is a kind of intelligent robot, a mechanical automaton electronically programmed to act, think, and behave in a certain way.

Droids facilitate various tasks that organic beings find tedious, difficult, or hazardous. They are typically fashioned in the likeness of their creators or in a utilitarian design that stresses function. Their usefulness makes them a common sight on nearly every inhabited world in the galaxy. They provide assistance, advice, and sometimes even friendship to trillions of sentient beings on a daily basis.

Droids are usually property, bought and sold like any other piece of equipment. Although some Droid owners come to think of their Droids as friends, the fact remains that Droids are programmed to serve whoever is designated as their master. To the vast majority of Droids, the concept of Droid independence is unthinkable. Without someone to command them, what would they do?

Even so, ownership and control are two very different things. Droids must do what they are commanded to do to the best of their ability, but their programming dictates how they accomplish their orders. Ordered to find a replacement part for an X-wing, a Droid might commence a systematic search of the repair bay, then the docking facility, then the neighborhood, then the countryside, and so on- all while thinking its actions are perfectly logical. Droids often need very specific instructions to do what their masters command, in a manner meeting their master's expectations.

Occasionally, events conspire to lead a Droid to independence. These so-called "self-owned" Droids are few, but not as rare as many believe. One might hear stories of Droids that escape their masters after years of abuse, or of an entire line of Droids that manifest violent personalities as the result of a programming glitch. However, independent Droids are rarely haywire, rampaging killers. Independent Droids often enter into partnerships with organic beings, particularly on worlds where a lone Droid without a master draws a lot of unwanted attention. Independent Droids sometimes even seek each other out, hoping to find strength and security in numbers. Some independent Droids are thrust into the unlikely role of hero, helping to defend the galaxy from the depredations of evil as personified by the likes of the Empire and the Yuuzhan Vong.

As inorganic mechanical beings, all Droids have certain attributes that affect how they interact with their environment and other beings.

Special Features

Feature Name	Description
Bonus Skill	Most Droids are not capable of wielding weapons of any type due to their programming. 4th-Degree Droids do not have this limitation, however, and are typically equipped with, or are capable of holding weapons. This means that 4th-Degree Droids get a Weapons proficiency. Any other Degree Droid instead gains 1 additional Skill point from the other skill categories (Operations, Ship Stations or Social skills).
Behavioral Inhibitors	Droids (except 4th-Degree Droids) cannot intentionally harm a sentient living being or knowingly allow a sentient living being to be harmed. Furthermore, all Droids must follow orders given to them by their rightful owners, as long as those orders don't require the Droid to harm a sentient living being.
Electric Damage Vulnerability	As electronic constructs, Droids are vulnerable to damage from Ion Weapons (electrical damage). Generally, Ion Damage has the same effects on Droids that Stress has on living beings.
Maintenance	Droids do not sleep, eat, or breathe. However, they do need to enter shutdown mode and recharge for 4 hours after 48 hours of operation. If a Droid fails to do so, it must make a Toughness check each hour Starting at Easy(1), +1 difficulty per additional hour after the first) or suffer 1 Stress.
Reprogrammable	Droids are able to change their Skills, given time and access to the Holonet. A Droid can swap any Skills up to rank 3 for another skill at the same rank. To do so takes 1 hour per skill replaced.
Nonliving	A Droid is immune to Poison, Disease, Radiation, non-corrosive Atmospheric Hazards, Vacuum, Mind-Affecting effects, Stunning effects, and any other effect that only works on living targets. Droids have no connection to The Force and can't allocate points to Force Rating, or learn Force Powers.
Repair	Droids can regain lost Hit Points only through the use of the Repair and Mechanics skills. A Droid can use these skills to repair itself, but it is at a +2 difficulty on its skill check. For Repair and Hit Points, this means that they heal 2 fewer Hit Points than what they rolled. For fixing Injuries, it means that they must roll the Mechanical challenge die 2 more times than they would if they were working on a different droid.
Upgradable	Droids can have various subsystems added to themselves as they have a modular design and are easy to upgrade and repair.

Ewok

 

Description

Intelligent omnivores native to one of the moons orbiting Endor, Ewoks are almost unknown prior to the battle of Endor. Ewoks live in tree-dwelling tribes with gender-based division of labor; males hunt, forage, and make weapons, while females raise young and handle other domestic tasks. Ewok culture revolves around complex animistic beliefs involving the giant trees of the forest moon.

Although technologically primitive, Ewoks are clever, inquisitive, and inventive. Skittish and wary when first introduced to machines, their curiosity soon overcomes fear.

Personality: Ewoks tend to be curious, superstitious, and courageous, though they can be fearful around things that are strange or new.

Physical Description: Ewoks average about 1 meter tall. Their fur color and pattern varies widely.

Average Height/Weight: A typical Ewok stands at 1.0 meters tall and weighs 30 kilograms.

Homeworld: The Forest Moon of Endor.

Languages: Ewoks speak Ewokese. They have no written form of their language. They can learn to speak Basic.

Example Names: Asha, Chirpa, Deej, Kneesaa, Latara, Logray, Malani, Nippet, Paploo, Shodu, Teebo, Wicket, Wiley.

Adventurers: An Ewok adventurer may be motivated by a love of excitement, a natural inquisitiveness, or a warrior's quest. Collecting powerful "Magic" items from fallen opponents is a sure way to earn the respect of the tribe.

Small Size: As Small creatures, Ewoks gain a +1 size bonus to their Reflex Defense and a +2 size bonus on Stealth skill checks. However, their lifting and carrying limits are three-quarters of those of Medium characters.

Special Features

Feature Name	Description
Bonus Skill	Ewoks come from the low tech world of Endor, and so can add 1 point to their Survival or Animal Handling skills.
Ample Foraging	An Ewok is able to gather twice the amount of food, water and shelter materials than others over the same time period. This effectively means that they can reroll up to 2 dice when they use the Survival skill.
Forest Stalker	An Ewok can reroll up to 2 dice if they are using the Stealth skill.
Keen Scent	Ewoks can smell trouble coming from up to 10 meters away. An Ewok can reroll up to 2 dice when using their Perception and the Alertness skill.

Gand

 

Description

A strange Species of insect creatures, the Gand have evolved in response to the toxic atmosphere of their homeworld. In fact, two distinct types of Gand exist. The more common has features typical of other Species- lungs and the usual assortment of internal organs. The other type- rarely found outside Gand- has no lungs, and takes in the nutrients it needs through the materials it consumes.

Since the Gand cannot tolerate other atmospheres, and outsiders cannot breathe Gand's atmosphere, the Species of this far-flung world developed without outside interference, resulting in a rich culture with particularities. The most notable aspect of the Gand is their lack of individual identity. A Gand must earn their name, their place, and their uniqueness through personal accomplishments. As such, the lowliest Gand see themselves as nothing more than aspects of the same whole.

The Gand rarely permit non-Gand onto their world. Insular to the point of xenophobia, Gand have learned what can happen to the delicate balance of their society when they allow offworlders to pollute their people with ideas of independence and self-worth. The closest most ever come to the planet's surface are orbiting Space Stations, the principle hubs of Gand trade and commerce.

Personality: Gand seem humble, soft-spoken, and self-deprecating. Until a Gand has achieved something of importance, a Gand refers to itself as simply "Gand." As the Gand achieves more accomplishments, it earns its identity, moving from the third person to the first person and eventually gaining a name. If a Gand missteps or fails, it will likely demote itself until it repairs the damage to its character.

Physical Description: Short, stocky, and fleshy in appearance, Gand have three fingers on each hand, and their faces are lumpy and unsettling. Gand have large, multifaceted eyes that betray little emotion. All Gand encountered off-world use a special breathing apparatus that fits snugly into their facial orifice.

Average Height/Weight: A typical Gand male stands at 1.6 meters tall and weighs 80 kilograms, while a typical Gand female stands at 1.4 meters tall and weighs 70 kilograms.

Homeworld: Gand come from the poisonous world of Gand.

Languages: Gand lack the organs to speak any language other than Gand and, therefore, rely on Transliterators to communicate in other tongues (see below).

Example Names: Muulish, Ooryl, Shoolush, Vaabesh, Zaabahn, Zuckuss.

Adventurers: Gand leave their homeworld for a variety of reasons, usually as exiles, driven forth from their worlds and condemned to wander. Others occupy a singularly unique role as mystic hunters called the Findsmen. Walking the path of truth, as they see it, they explore the galaxy, taking work as guardians, Soldiers, and more commonly, as Bounty Hunters.

Medium Size: As Medium creatures, Gand have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.

Special Features

Feature Name	Description
Bonus Skill	The Gand are adept at surviving in harsh environments, as well as with tracking other creatures through them. During character creation, a Gand character can gain a point in either Survival or Searching.
Low-light Vision	Gand ignore Shadow Concealment from darkness. However, they cannot perceive colors in total darkness.
Hardy	Gand are a tough species. Whenever a Gand is attempting to resist damage or toxins using Toughness and the Resistance, they can reroll up to 2 dice.
Limb Regeneration	A Gand can regrow a lost limb in 1d10 days. At the end of this time, all Persistent penalties associated with the loss of the limb are removed.

Gungan

 

Description

The Gungans are omnivorous humanoids native to the swamps of Naboo. Technologically advanced, they rely mostly on biotech, growing instead of building their homes and production facilities.

While their culture is peaceful, it evolved from a series of long, bloody clan wars, and Gungans still admire strength and Intelligence. Most communities are devoted to farming or manufacturing goods that are then traded to other Gungan settlements, but they will reluctantly trade with the Humans of Naboo.

Gran

 

Description

Gran originally came from the world and system of Kinyen in The Expansion Region. They are longtime members of galactic society, with numerous colonies. Although most of these colonies are peaceful, their colony on Malastare quickly became embroiled in a bitter conflict with the native Dugs, forcing the Gran to act aggressively to protect themselves.

Gran

Gran place society over self, and they receive training that complements both their personal talents and society's needs. The desire to maintain balance within society caused the Gran to establish alien-only areas of Kinyen. This was intended to restrict alien influence and avoid trouble between Species, such as what happened on Malastare. During The Dark Times, the Empire has pushed the Gran leadership to grant access to all areas. When the Gran refused, Kinyen was subjected to orbital bombardment. The Kinyen Gran relented, but the incident inspired many Gran to resist the new Empire.

Personality: Gran are highly social and unable to stand solitude, or isolation from other Gran, for any length of time. Most are talkative, friendly, and hospitable. They are slow to anger. Gran friendships are for life. Gran from Malastare and other colonies follow looser social codes than those from the homeworld .

Physical Description: The beige-skinned Gran have three distinctive eye stalks with pitch-black eyes, ahead of small horns and large, triangular ears. Males and females have similar builds.

Average Height/Weight: A typical Gran stands 1.6 meters tall and weighs 80 kilograms.

Homeworld: Kinyen, with colonies on many other worlds, including Hok and Malastare.

Languages: Gran speak, read, and write their own language of Gran, as well as Basic.

Example Names: Ainlee Teem, Aks Moe, Ask Aak, Baskol Yeesrim, Cera Vixe, Cruegar, Kea R- Lan, Mawhonic, Nadin Paal, Ree-Yees, Vee Naaq.

Adventurers: Heroic Gran are often Nobles, Scoundrels, Scouts, and bounty hunters. Prior to The Dark Times, Gran Jedi were common, and it is possible that some survived the initial Jedi Purge. After the bombardment of Kinyen, individualistic Gran find themselves open to other methods of serving society, looking for new ways to resist the Empire.

Medium Size: As medium creatures, Gran have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.

Special Features

Feature Name	Description
Bonus Skill	The Gran are very good with ranged weapons. They gain a Ranged Weapon Proficiency.
Low-light Vision	Gran ignore Shadow Concealment from darkness. However, they cannot perceive colors in total darkness.

Human Replica Droid (HRD)

 

Description

Human Replica Droids, or HRDs, are sophisticated synthskin and biofiber-covered Droids designed to be nearly indistinguishable from Humans. Their design was similar enough to Human anatomy that even high-quality medical scanners were not always able to identify them as inorganic, although they were able to discern some differences from the typical Human. They were sometimes referred to as "Meatdroids" or "Droid Clones." Unlike true clones, a droid clone could be created in under three months.

These Replica Droids were originally designed by the Alliance to Restore the Republic to infiltrate and replace Imperial personnel, but their funding ultimately ran out, causing them to abandon the project. Ironically enough, The Empire completed and perfected the Replica Droid's design, though they were never put into any major use.

Personality: Replica Droids are loyal firstly to their creators, though those that become self-aware often attempt to escape that life, setting out on their own in a quest of self-discovery. Self-aware Replica Droids prize freedom and individualism above their own lives, as their creation has given them unique insight into the value of life.

Physical Description: Replica Droids are identical in appearance towards the Species they are replicating (typically Human, though there are rare exceptions). While it is possible to alter its appearance in any way they wish, a Replica Droid rarely does so as it removes their ability to blend in.

Average Height/Weight: Replica Droids height is based completely on the size of the Species they are replicating, and their metal bodies cause them to be double the weight of the replicated Species.

Homeworld: None, though most Replica Droids consider the planet of their creation their homeworld.

Languages: All Replica Droids can understand and speak Binary (one of the few Species that can), and additionally learn the native tongue of their replicated Species (typically Basic).

Example Names: Varies, typically dependent on the Species being replicated.

Adventurers: Replica Droids bound to their creators will perform their masters' bidding; and those that escape typically live a life of peace, or go on an adventure of self-discovery. Most Replica Droids fit into the roles of Spies, although as Droids they are incapable of becoming Jedi.

Special Features

Feature Name	Description
Bonus Skill	Replica Droids gain a point in whatever Skill that the creator wishes them to be proficient in so as to complete the deception.
Deceptive	Replica Droids are designed for deception, and as such they are really good at it. Whenever a Replica Droid is using Deception to pass themselves off as someone else, they can reroll up to 2 dice.
Self-Repairing	Replica Droids have simulated biological systems, including a self-healing system. This allows them to restore 1 Hit Point per hour of rest, as if they were biological.
Reprogrammable	Replica Droids are able to change their Skills, given time and access to the Holonet. A Replica Droid can swap any Skills up to rank 3 for another skill at the same rank. This takes 1 hour per Skill changed.
Restraining Bolt Resistant	Replica Droids are not subject to the effects of Restraining Bolts, and are able to move regardless of their application.
Resistant to Electricity	Replica Droids do not share the Droid weakness to the Ionic / Electrical damage type.
Hard to Repair	A Replica Droid cannot be repaired easily like a regular Droid, due to their complex and non-modular simulated biological systems. Any attempt to use the Repair and Mechanics skills on a Replica Droid is at +1 difficulty. This means that the Repair skill heals 1 less, and the Mechanics skill requires 1 extra progress on the dice roll.
Maintenance	Replica Droids do not sleep, eat, or breathe. However, they do need to enter shutdown mode and recharge for 4 hours after 48 hours of operation. If a Replica Droid fails to do so, it must make a Resistance check each hour starting at Very Easy (0), +1 per additional hour after the first) or suffer 1 Stress.
Nonliving	A Replica Droid is immune to Poison, Disease, Radiation, non-corrosive Atmospheric Hazards, Vacuum, Mind-Affecting effects, Stunning effects, and any other effect that only works on living targets. Droids have no connection to The Force and can't allocate points to Force Rating, or learn Force Powers.

Kel Dor

 

Description

The Kel Dor evolved on Dorin, a world with an atmosphere consisting mostly of helium and a gas that is unique to that world. As such, Kel Dor cannot breathe on planets with common nitrogen/oxygen atmospheres. Conversely, Dorin's atmosphere is toxic to most non-native life.

On other planets, Kel Dor dwellings provide their native atmosphere (stored in large tanks). When outside, Kel Dor must wear breath masks and goggles. They can neither see nor breathe without these devices. Most Kel Dor breath masks include vocoders that amplify the wearer's speech; while their vocal cords function normally in their native atmosphere, Kel Dor must shout to provide sound in other environments. Their eyesight however, is enhanced when they are away from Dorin.

Miraluka

 

Description

Miraluka are remarkably similar to Humans, except for two important and distinctive differences. Miraluka have no eyes, but they have a natural ability to "see" by using The Force. Since they appear Human- including their speech and mannerisms- Miraluka attempt to blend with Humans when traveling throughout the galaxy.

Thus, estimating how often they travel or how many live off their home planet of Alpheridies is difficult, but the number is relatively low. To make matters worse, the Sith Lord Darth Nihilus consumed the colony of Katarr after The Jedi Civil War. Currently, no major centers of Miraluka life exist outside of their homeworld and colonies, though individuals might be encountered anywhere in the galaxy.

It is highly unusual for an entire sapient Species to be Force-sensitive. Given their connection to The Force, it is common for Miraluka to join The Jedi Order. In fact, several Miraluka became central figures in shaping the Jedi traditions after The Jedi Civil War. The strength of a Miraluka's connection to The Force varies by individual. Miraluka who are not powerful enough to become full-fledged Jedi serve the Order in supporting roles. Most live lives similar to that of a normal Human.

Miraluka and Humans tend not to intermarry, given the unpredictable and often unhappy genetic results. A rare exception is Krynda, daughter of a Miraluka father and a Human mother. She was born with both Force Sight and functioning Human eyes.

Personality: Miraluka are a thoughtful, cautious, and deliberate Species. They have little interest in personal gain or glory. Some have a strong desire to follow their own path, due to their connection to The Force. They remain committed once a course of action is selected.

Physical Description: Miraluka are similar to Humans. They cover their featureless eye sockets with cloth or visors, especially when training.

Average Height/Weight: A typical Miraluka stands 1.8 meters tall and weighs 75 kilograms.

Homeworld: The terrestrial world of Alpheridies in the Abron System, in The Expansion Region.

Languages: Miraluka speak Miralukese and Basic. They can read and write by "Seeing" through The Force.

Example Names: Damaya Guru, Embrul Joff, Jerec, Q'Anilia, Shoaneb Culu, Visas Marr, Zebron Tadro.

Adventurers: Miraluka adventurers are almost always Force-sensitive. They can be of any Class, but are often Jedi.

Medium Size: As Medium creatures, Miraluka have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.

Special Features

Feature Name	Description
Bonus Skill	Since Mira Luka don't rely on sight, they are not limited by it and gain 1 point in either Alertness or Searching.
Force Sight	Although blind, Miraluka can "see" by using The Force. They act normally, without taking any penalties for blindness when in the presence of living creatures, or life of any kind. This trait enables them to make Perception checks, and read and write as a sighted person.
Effective Low-light vision & Echolocation	They can ignore the effect of darkness as if they had Low-light vision. Miraluka cannot, however, detect creatures that are "invisible" to The Force such as the Yuuzhan Vong and the Ysalamiri. These creatures have Cover Concealment from Miraluka, as do creatures in areas that dampen or suppress The Force. Additionally, Miraluka ignore all penalties to Perception checks from Cover and Shadow Concealment. Miraluka do not increase the DC of Use the Force checks made to Sense Surroundings against targets with Total Cover.
Force Rating Bonus	Miraluka all begin the game with 1 point in Force Rating, which they use in place of their Perception for vision-based checks.

Description

Nagai

 

Description

Honorable, mysterious, violent, and sinister. All these words and more describe the Nagai people. They first appeared to be galactic invaders, until it was revealed that the Nagai were escaping their long-time enemies, the Tofs. Initially hostile to The New Republic, the Nagai eventually formed an alliance of convenience with The New Republic in an attempt to achieve victory in their war against the Tofs.

The Nagai are charismatic- a quality that is, by and large, a product of their enhanced vocal range, which allows them to tailor their speech to be more soothing. They are driven by a strong sense of personal honor, which is tempered by their own individualities. The Nagai fear nothing aside from a loss of freedom, symbolized by the return of the enemy that once enslaved their people. They have little concern for individuals outside of their own families, and they only endeavor to aid others if it serves their purposes or if they are bound by honor to do so.

Melee combat, especially the use of edged weapons, is highly integrated into Nagai culture. It is a rare Nagai who does not display an expert's hand in the use of blades of all sizes.

Personality: Nagai tend to be disciplined, focused, and passionate. They kill without hesitation if honor would be served by the act, and they take great pride in hard-fought victories. They possess a grim wit that, when combined with their soothing voices, can often set enemies off-balance.

Physical Description: Nagai possess straight black hair, dark eyes, porcelain-white skin, and slender builds. No two Nagai dress the same, and they take great pains to express their own individual sense of style.

Average Height/Weight: A typical Nagai male stands at 1.8 meters tall and weighs 60 kilograms, while a typical Nagai female stands at 1.6 meters tall and weighs 45 kilograms.

Homeworld: Nagi, a world in The Unknown Regions. Few non-Nagai know its exact location.

Languages: Nagaian, a musical and lilting speech riddled with slight variations of pitch and tone that blend easily with the natural soothing voice of the Nagai. Other Species can learn the language but rarely master it.

Example Names: Den Siva, Harmon Sho, Hol B'shaki, Krai H'voc, Lusubrin T'shkali, Mendo, Nir Kento, Ozrei, Rei, Sin Shai, Tai, Taru.

Nautolan

 

Description

Nautolans are one of the sentient Species native to the planet Glee Anselm. Their language, Nautila, evolved underwater and is heavily tied to pheromones. Out of water, Nautila loses much of its meaning. As a result, Nautolans learn another language, typically either Basic or Anselmian, the language of the Anselmi people, who are native to Glee Anselm's land masses.

Even though they are aquatic, Nautolans have little difficulty living in climates that would be uncomfortable for other amphibians. They are a hardy Species, due in part to the extra cartilage that supports their skeletal structures. Given their aquatic origins, they are excellent swimmers.

Personality: Nautolans are loyal and steadfast companions. They wear their moods on their proverbial sleeves, expressing both joy and despair with equal zeal. Though polite and civilized under most circumstances, Nautolans tend to reflect the moods of others around them. The tendrils on their heads sense the pheromones released by others. This can inadvertently affect a Nautolan's disposition- for better or for worse. Despite their peaceful nature, Nautolans are not above defending themselves.

Physical Description: Nautolans have thick green skin that is covered in dark, mottled spots. Their large, black eyes allow them to see well in dim light. Each Nautolan's head is crowned by long, tentacle-like tendrils, which the Nautolan decorates with leather bands, metal rings, or beaded ties.

Average Height/Weight: A typical Nautolan stands at 1.8 meters tall and weighs 75 kilograms.

Homeworld: The oceanic world of Glee Anselm, located in The Mid Rim.

Languages: Nautolans speak their native language of Nautila, an underwater language reliant on pheromones as much as sound. Out of water, most Nautolans speak Basic or Anselmian.

Example Names: Hiskar Dorset, Kit Fisto, Ploss Niklos, Renko Losa, Pin Mako, Setel Yast.

Adventurers: Nautolans crave adventure and are as likely to be Nobles or Scoundrels as they are to be Scouts or Soldiers. There have also been several notable Nautolan Jedi.

Medium Size: As Medium creatures, Nautolans have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.

Many Quarren blame both the Empire and the Rebels (even more than the Mon Calamari) for their homeworld's devastation during the Galactic Civil War.

Personality: Practical and conservative, Quarren tend to hate change and distrust anyone who displays overt optimism and idealism.

Description

To survive the natural perils of their harsh, volcanic homeworld, the Sullustans evolved in the planet's numerous caves. They prefer to dwell underground, constructing highly advanced cities of such great beauty that wealthy sightseers come from all over the galaxy to visit them. Living underground helped the Sullustans to develop acute senses, and they are renowned for their navigational and piloting skills.

This friendly, gregarious species enjoys interacting with unique, unusual, and interesting beings.

The most striking features of Togruta are their brightly colored horns, head, head-tails, and skin. These patterns serve as a sort of camouflage that helps them stalk prey through the red and white, meter-tall turu-grass of the scrublands.

Togruta are natural pack hunters and work effectively in large groups. Individualism is generally discouraged, but despite this fact, most Togruta leaders gain power and prestige through expressions of individuality.

Outsiders often believe that Togruta are venomous. Although no one knows how the rumor was started, Togruta do use their sharp incisors to kill one of their favorite meals, the small, rodent like Thimiars.

Personality: Togruta are social, outspoken, perceptive, and attentive. They prefer to work in groups and are adept at complex social interaction within a known group.

Physical Description: A Togruta has an oval face flanked by striped, curved horns and a long head tail. Elaborate red and white patterns adorn the face, while a Togruta's body and limbs display red and white stripes.

Average Height/Weight: A typical Togruta stands 1.7 meters tall and weighs 75 kilograms.

Homeworld: Shili in The Expansion Region, a planet featuring small communities within dense forests and hidden valleys.

Languages: Togruta are taught their Species language of Togruti, and most later learn Basic.

Example Names: Ahsoka Tano, Ashla, Codi Ty, Creev Zrgaat, Dyani Zaan, Jir Taalan, Qusak Laal, Raana Tey, Shaak Ti, Vika Saaris.

Adventurers: Strong-willed, highly independent Togruta leave their homeworld to "Hunt among the stars." Togruta are often Diplomats, Explorers or Soldiers, or may become Jedi, but can belong to any Class.

Medium Size: As Medium creatures, Togruta have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.

Trandoshan

 

Description

The reptilian Trandoshans are known for their great strength, and warlike natures. Many of these beings dedicate themselves to martial training, and some follow the path of the hunter on their native world. A few have even become renowned (or infamous) bounty hunters in galactic society. Trandoshans have a long-standing enmity with Wookiees, and the two Species have fought often over the centuries.

Trandoshans (who refer to themselves as "T'doshok") have super sensitive eyes that can see into the infrared range. They shed their skin several times in the span of their lives and can even regenerate lost limbs, but their clawed hands have difficulty with fine manipulation of objects.

Twi'lek

 

Description

From the dry, rocky world of Ryloth, Twi'leks have made a place for themselves along the Galaxy. These tall, thin humanoids include a variety of distinct subraces, but all are instantly recognizable by the tentacular "Head-Tails" (called Lekku) that protrude from the backs of their heads.

Sly, calculating beings, Twi'leks prefer to avoid trouble and stick to the shadows until an opportunity to act without undue danger to themselves presents itself. Their entrepreneurial spirit frequently leads them to positions of influence, and Twi'lek corporate executives and ambassadors are no less common than unscrupulous Twi'lek freighter captains and crime lords.

Personality: Twi'leks are calculating, pragmatic, and charismatic people. Generally, they try to avoid being swept up in open conflict, preferring instead to duck into the shadows where they can observe, plan, and prepare to profit from the outcome.

Physical Description: Twi'leks are humanoids with long head-tails. The average Twi'lek stands between 1.6 and 2 meters tall, with skin tones ranging between white, green, blue, red, and orange, as well as a variety of others.

Average Height/Weight: A typical Twi'lek male stands at 1.8 meters tall and weighs 55 kilograms, while a typical Twi'lek female stands at 1.6 meters tall and weighs 55 kilograms.

Homeworld: The rocky world of Ryloth.

Languages: Twi'leks speak, read, and write Ryl and Basic. They can also communicate with one another using their Lekku (a form of sign language). Many others also learn Huttese.

Example Names: Bib Fortuna, Deel Surool, Firith Olan, Koyi Komad, Lyn Me, Oola, Tott Doneeta.

Adventurers: Twi'lek adventurers generally prefer to work behind the scenes as Scoundrels and Spies, letting others stand in the full light of day. Many wind up in businesses (whether legal or illegal), performing as entertainers, Gamblers, or even serving as Diplomats.

Medium Size: As Medium creatures, Twi'leks have no special modifiers due to their size.

Special Features

Feature Name	Description
Bonus Skill	Twi'leks are tougher than normal and learn how to resist environmental hazards. This means that they gain 1 point in the Resistance skill.

Wookiee

 

Description

Wookiees are widely recognized as one of the strongest and fiercest intelligent Species in the galaxy. Wookiees have many customs and traditions that revolve around honor and loyalty, including the special bond called the honor family and the sacred pledge called the Life Debt. A Wookiee never uses his or her climbing claws in combat; doing this is considered dishonorable and a sign of madness.

Personality: Wookiees tend to be honorable, rash, loyal, and short-tempered.

Physical Description: Wookiees are large furry bipeds, ranging in height from 2 to 2.3 meters.

Average Height/Weight: A typical Wookiee male stands at 2.2 meters tall and weighs 125 kilograms, while a typical Wookiee female stands at 2.0 meters tall and weighs 100 kilograms.

Homeworld: The forest world of Kashyyyk.

Languages: Wookiees speak Shyriiwook, consisting of complex grunts and growls. They understand Basic but lack the ability to speak it.

Example Names: Chewbacca, Gorwooken, Groznik, Lowbacca, Ralrra, Rorworr, Salporin.

Adventurers: Wookiee adventurers usually start out as wanderers or Explorers, but some find this path by forming an honor family with (or owning a Life Debt to) other adventurers.

Medium Size: As Medium creatures, Wookiees have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.

Special Features

Feature Name	Description
Bonus Skill	Wookiees gain one melee weapon proficiency, as all Wookiees are taught to use melee weapons.
Extraordinary Recuperation	Wookiees heal twice as quickly as most. A Wookiee heals 2 Hit Points per hour of rest, compared to 1 that most species heal. In addition they heal an extra 2 Hit Points whenever medical care is applied to them (or use a Bacta vial).
Intimidating Presence	Known to pull off the ears of Gundarks, Wookiees may reroll up to 2 dice when using the Intimidation skill without speaking.
Expert Climber	Wookiees are great climbers and may add +2 dice to their dice pool whenever they are using the Athletics skill for climbing.
Wookiee Rage	Once per day, a Wookiee can fly into a Rage as a Free Action. While Raging, the Wookiee temporarily gains a +2 Rage bonus on melee attack rolls, but cannot use Skills that require patience and concentration, such as Repair, Hiding, or Emotional Control. A fit of Rage lasts for a number of rounds equal to 5 + the Wookiee's Toughness Rating. At the end of its Rage, the Wookiee suffers 1 Stress. The penalties imposed by this Condition persist until the Wookiee takes at least 10 minutes to recuperate, during which time the Wookiee can't engage in any strenuous activity.
Hard to Understand	Shyriiwook is extremely hard for non-Wookies to understand. This coupled with the fact that Wookies cannot speak Basic makes it difficult for them to communicate.* *Players of Wookiee characters should limit themselves to simple phrases when attempting to communicate with other species, unless they have specifically taken the Languages skill.

Zabrak

 

Description

The Zabrak are an early spacefaring race distinguished by patterns of vestigial horns on their heads. Zabrak hail from many worlds and have been spacefarers for so long that they define themselves and each other according to their colony of origin.

The harshness of Iridonia, their homeworld, forged in the Zabrak an iron will to survive. Driven to escape their world, they sought to obtain the knowledge of space flight. When Duros scouts began exploring The Mid Rim, they encountered Zabrak in eight sovereign colonies in five different systems. Though subjugated under the harsh rule of the Empire, the Zabrak colonies eventually regained their independence.

Zabrak posses a great amount of confidence, and they believe that there is nothing they can't accomplish. While this innate attribute could lead to feelings of superiority, most Zabrak don't look down on others. They believe in themselves and are proud and strong, but they rarely project any negativity toward those of other Species.

Personality: Zabrak tend to be dedicated, intense, and focused, sometimes appearing obsessive and single-minded to other Species.

Physical Description: Zabrak are humanoid, distinguished by patterns of vestigial horns atop their heads. The average Zabrak stands 1.8 meters tall.

Average Height/Weight: A typical Zabrak stands at 1.8 meters tall and weighs 75 kilograms.

Languages: Zabrak speak, read, and write both Zabrak and Basic.

Example Names: Aagh Odok, Eeth Koth, Kooth Aan, Bao Dur.

Adventurers: Zabrak adventurers love to explore the galaxy. No challenge is too big to deter a Zabrak. They range from Scoundrels on distant colony worlds, to Diplomats and Gamblers, to Explorers, Soldiers, and even Jedi.

Medium Size: As Medium creatures, Zabrak have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.

Special Features

Feature Name	Description
Bonus Skill	Extremely confident, Zabrak gain 1 point in either the Insults, Rallying or Intimidation skills.

2. Choose Fighting Style

The player selects one Fighting Style for their character. They should pay attention to the recommended Attribute Levels (Agility, Deftness, Intelligence or Strength) for that Fighting Style as these styles work better with higher levels in those Attributes.

Each Fighting Style grants two Special Moves and can select two Weapon Proficiencies.  Weapon Proficiencies can be gained from multiple Classes, but additional Special Moves are harder to gain after character creation, so it often makes sense to prioritize the Special Moves over the Weapon Proficiencies.

Assassin

 

A close range fighter that sneaks up on enemies to execute surprise attacks using melee weapons.  Assassins have the unique ability to reduce a target's Block for the rest of the Round (via Backstab) which can greatly aid the rest of the party against a tough enemy.  Assassin special moves also grant them greater mobility than some of the other Fighting Styles, which can allow them to spring an attack from Stealth and then retreat to regain Concealment.

Agility & Deftness >= 2 is recommended for this fighting style.

Special Moves

Ambush

A Quick Attack that does extra damage from stealth and provides bonus movement.

Backstab

A Quick Attack that reduces the target's Armor Defense for an entire Round of combat.

Weapon Proficiencies

• Melee Weapons: One of any of the Melee Weapon Proficiencies

• Axes
• Blades
• Clubs
• Lightsabers
• Staves/Spears
• Unarmed Fighting
• Whips/Flails

• Thrown Weapons: One of any of the Thrown Weapon Proficiencies.

• Grenades
• Throwing Axes
• Throwing Knives
• Thrown Weapons

Class Interactions

The Assassin role is enhanced by Spy and Scoundrel classes.

The Spy gets "Improved Ambush" that gets 2 bonus damage dice per Stealth Token instead of 1.

The Scoundrel gets "Improved Backstab" that reduces the target's Armor Defense by 4 for the rest of the Round.

Brawler

 

A close-up fighter that's good with melee and unarmed combat.  They have the potential to do double damage via their Haymaker ability, though it is a risk for them to use it. The Brawler can also hit up to 3 adjacent targets, which can provide a tactical advantage against swarming Extras.

Strength >= 2 is recommended for this fighting style.

Special Moves

Haymaker

A Powerful Attack that does 2x damage to a single target but causes the user to fall Prone.

Wild Swing

A Powerful Attack that potentially hits 3 adjacent targets with a bonus damage die.

Weapon Proficiencies

• Melee Weapons: Two of any of the Melee Weapon Proficiencies

• Axes
• Blades
• Clubs
• Lightsabers
• Staves/Spears
• Unarmed Fighting
• Whips/Flails

Class Interactions

The Martial Artist and Explorer enhance Brawler.

The Martial Artist gains the "Improved Haymaker" ability, which does 3x damage but causes them to immediately fall Prone.

The Explorer gains "Improved Wild Swing", doubling the Damage Bonus (+4).

Gunslinger

 

A mid-range fighter that uses light ranged weapons. The Gunslinger has a fast reaction time, allowing them to often take the first action in combat. In addition the class is highly mobile, allowing the Gunslinger to get into position for a clean shot, or get to cover. The Pistol Whip move also allows the Gunslinger to perform a Melee attack with a Ranged Weapon and inflict Stress if they choose (Stress is never lethal).

Agility, Deftness >= 2 is recommended for this fighting style.

Special Moves

Pistol Whip

A Quick Attack that allows the Gunslinger to effectively strike a melee target with any ranged weapon. Also provides bonus movement.

Quickdraw

A Quick Attack that allows the Gunslinger to draw a weapon and fire in a single motion, gaining a bonus To-Hit.

Weapon Proficiencies

• Ranged Weapons: One of any these Ranged Weapon Proficiencies:

• Pistols
• Rifles
• Heavy Weapons
• Grenade Launchers

• Thrown Weapons: One of any of the Thrown Weapon Proficiencies.

• Grenades
• Throwing Axes
• Throwing Knives
• Thrown Weapons

Class Interactions

The Gunslinger is improved by the Bounty Hunter and Officer classes.

The Officer gains "Improved Pistol Whip", where they are able to strike 1 additional adjacent target with this move (2 total).

The Bounty Hunter gains "Improved Quick Draw", where they gain +4 damage die bonus and a total of +2 to their Initiative Rolls.

Heavy

 

A mid range fighter that uses heavy ranged weapons. Their ability to use Heavy Weapons offers greater fire power and damage, and their Suppressive Fire ability allows them to support their allies by pinning down enemies behind cover.  A higher level of Strength is required to use these Heavy Weapons without penalty, but Deftness is also required so that the Heavy can actually hit their target.

Deftness >= 2 and Strength >= 2 is recommended for this fighting style.

Special Moves

Rapid Fire

A Powerful move that allows the Heavy to attack a line of 3 squares more easily.

Suppressive Fire

Class Interactions

The Soldier and the Mercenary gain improvements to the Heavy role.

The Soldier gains "Improved Suppressive Fire", gaining +2 bonus damage dice for each target that could be hit by this.

The Mercenary gains "Improved Rapid Fire", gaining a +5 total damage die bonus.

Medic

 

A mid range defensive support fighter. The Medic has the critical Emergency First Aid ability, which is the only way, other than Force User powers, and a few items, to restore the Hit Points of a character during combat. The Medic also has two combat abilities which focus on disabling an opponent rather than injuring or killing them.

Intelligence >= 2 and Deftness >= 2 are recommended for this fighting style.

Special Moves

Stabilizing Shot

A Ranged Support Action which restores a small number of Hit Points to the target.

Disabling Shot

A Finesse attack that does increased Stress if the user is wielding a Stun Weapon or a Weapon with a Stun Setting (and is in that setting).

Weapon Proficiencies / Skills

• Stun Weapons: The Medic gains the special Stun Weapons Proficiency
• First Aid: 1 point in the First Aid skill, which is the skill that allows for recovering Hit Points during combat.

Class Interactions

The Diplomat and Doctor improve this role.

The Doctor gains "Improved Stabilizing Shot", which adds +2 bonus healing and increases the range to Medium.

The Diplomat gains "Improved Stun Shot", which gains +3 Damage bonus and Stunning 3.

Sniper

 

A long range fighter that uses precision weapons. The Sniper specializes in doing Damage from long range. In addition, their ability to inflict Injuries is more effective, allowing them to more consistently Injure a target. This lets them weaken powerful opponents and bypasses their normal Hit Points entirely.

Deftness >= 2 is recommended for this fighting style.

Special Moves

Piercing Shot

A Finesse Attack which reduces the target's Armor Soak and gains a damage bonus.

Crippling Shot

A Finesse Attack that becomes Vicious, potentially causing a semi-permanent Injury to the target.

Weapon Proficiencies

• Ranged Weapons: One of any these Ranged Weapon Proficiencies:

• Pistols
• Rifles

Class Interactions

The Sniper role is improved by the Mercenary and Soldier classes.

The Mercenary gains "Improved Crippling Shot", which grants +3 damage dice.

The Soldier gains "Improved Piercing Shot", which reduces the target's Armor Soak by 4 and doubles the damage bonus to +4.

3. Choose Ship Station Roles

The player selects two Ship Stations for their character to be trained in. Though called Shipstation skills, all of the skills for these sections are highly transferable to other situations.  Training in each Ship Station provides 1 point in each of its 2 skills.

Helm

The person at the Helm is ostensibly the pilot of the ship. Though some ships have an autopilot, this is one of the single most important roles on board, as the ship can't get anywhere if no one is piloting it.

Skills

Navigation

Main Attribute

Intelligence

The Navigation skill is used to plot routes through hyperspace, across a local system, and from one place to another on a planetoid. A character at the Helm must roll this even if there is also a navi-computer or maps.  

Astrogation: The difficulty of this roll is based on the difficulty of the jump. Jumps far away from gravitational sources along well-mapped hyperspace lanes are a low difficulty, while those jumps closer to gravitation or along poorly or uncharted areas are more difficult.  A ship's navi-computer can add additional bonus dice or potentially reduce the difficulty for some jumps.

Ground Orienteering: The difficulty for this is based on the terrain, weather and time of day. Things that obscure where the characters have gone and where they want to go.

Piloting

Main Attribute

Deftness

The Helm uses the Piloting skill to maneuver a vehicle through normal space. This skill can be used for land, water, air or space vehicles.  Each vehicle may have a Maneuverability Modifier. This modifier adds to, or in rare cases subtracts from, the overall Piloting difficulty.  Most piloting actions are Easy (2), while the Special Maneuvers of the Ace have higher difficulties (until those Maneuvers are mastered). This combination can sometimes generate very difficult, or even Impossible maneuvers.

Tactical

The Tactical role tries to see the big picture, focusing on the overall strategy or tactics of a conflict, rather than the individual exchanges. Those in Tactical can attempt to gauge how dangerous each opponent is and the opposing side overall. This allows them to focus on whether to advance or retreat while others are engaged in individual conflicts.

Skills

Assessment

Main Attribute

Perception

The Assessment skill is used to gauge how powerful an individual opponent is, as well as the entire side of a conflict.

The difficulty for this roll is based on the highest opposing Stealth or Deception skill total.

In addition the Tactician can gauge their own side to tell which side has an advantage in the conflict.

The difficulty for these rolls depends on how intense the conflict is and if there are other distractions.

Assessment can also be used to tell how good an ally is at a certain skill, which can be used to properly assign those allies to roles.

A proper Assessment of a crew makes it easier to use Coordination to achive bonuses for them (see below). The difficulty for ally Assessment is a standard Intermediate(3) difficulty.

Coordination

Main Attribute

Intelligence

The Coordination skill allows the Tactician to give their allies Focus Tokens if they listen to their tactical advice.

To give another character a Focus Token, the Tactician uses an Action to give the target ally a suggestion or salient piece of intel. That ally gains a Focus Token to use on the associated Action.

The difficulty of the Tactician's roll is based on how poor the communication conditions are and how hectic the battle is (typically a number between 1 and 5). The number of allies that they are trying to grant Focus Tokens to is also a factor. Each additional Ally adds +1 to the difficulty roll.

For each ally that has already had a recent (within this session) Assessment, the difficulty is reduced by 1.

The Tactician cannot include themselves in the roll, unfortunately.

Engineering

Most ships benefit from having someone in the Engineering role. Additionally, there is often an Engineering section of the ship, which gives the Engineer access to the power controls and some automated repair systems. If a ship doesn't have an onboard Engineer, its other stations may end up functioning poorly or not at all until the ship can be worked on at a space station or planet-side spacedock.

Skills

Mechanics

Main Attribute

Intelligence

Constructing new devices, understanding complex machinery or routing power around a spaceship requires the Mechanics skill. This skill is rolled when the engineer is attempting to build a new device, when they are trying to reroute power during a tense situation (such as space combat).

Repair

Main Attribute

Deftness

The Repair skill gives the character in the Engineering station the ability to repair damaged systems. This is critical on a spaceship, but quite handy for any type of vehicle or device. Some devices have a binary "working / broken" dichotomy, however things like spaceships have Hull Points which can be restored, one per Success rolled.

Sensors

A ship's Sensors station is its "eyes and ears" of space. Without someone in the Sensors role, a ship may find itself in trouble with little time to react.  A ship's Scanners can be used to locate threats or targets in space, and its Targeting System can provide the ability to selectively reroll attack dice during a pitched space combat session. Other vehicles and even body armor can have Scanners and targeting systems as well, allowing these skills to be utilized in other places.

Skills

Scanners

Main Attribute

Perception

There are various kinds of Scanners and scans that can be performed by them. The main distinction is whether a Scanner is used in Active Mode (sending out harmless radiation that bounces off of things to provide data) or Passive Mode (an antenna that receives the radiation that is already in the environment).  Active Mode additionally can be Directed to extend the range at the cost of a narrow focus. The skill with Scanners is almost as much interpreting the data as it is directing the scan.  Scans can be filtered for Power Systems, Life Forms, or other Active Scans.  Medical scanners are a subset of Scanner that can provide bonuses to a Diagnosis roll. Scanners can also be used during Starship Combat to initiate a Target Lock on an enemy ship.

Science

Main Attribute

Intelligence

The Science skill is rolled when the character wishes to understand the results of a strange scan, or when the character is trying to understand physical phenomena. Dealing with black holes, hyperspace, wormholes, or quantum phenomena is the domain of the Science skill. Science is often used in conjunction with Mechanics to build a device that exploits a new domain or paradigm. On a personal level, Science can be used to build devices that change energy, create force fields or bend light.

Medical

A ship's Medical Bay may be outfitted with the latest Bacta tanks and 3D skin printing tech. Or it could just be a bunk in the corner next to a blood transfusion machine.  Whatever the case, the Medical skills are usable in any conceivable environment and can also come in handy during an investigation.

Skills

First Aid

Main Attribute

Intelligence

The FIrst Aid skill restores Hit Points to a character during combat. As an Action, the medic can roll a dice pool equal to their Intelligence + First Aid skill. Each Hit restores 1 Hit Point. Critical Hits count as two Hits. Restoring Hit Points is very important to keep combatants from suffering more serious injuries.

Medicine

Main Attribute

Intelligence

The Medicine skill is used to help an Injured character recover more quickly. Treating an Injury outside of a damatic event requires a simple roll of the medic's Medicine skill. However, during combat or other dramatic events, the medic must roll the Medical Challenge die to come up with an amount of progress equal to the number of Injuries that the character has. If the results are anything but "progress", this will likely require special medicines, machines or treatments that can take a long time (several hours or even days).

Communications

While anyone can answer a hail, the Communications officer has been specially trained in understanding both the Language and the Etiquette of hundreds of alien species. Even with that training, there are thousands of different dialects in the galaxy, and so a ship's Communications Station may be augmented with a Protocol Droid or a Language database.

Skills

Etiquette

Main Attribute

Perception

The Etiquette skill is rolled when it's not clear what the right way to interact with a creature is. This skill represents training in detecting body language, facial expression, tone of voice, and perceived differences in social status when addressing one of an alien culture. The difficulty is often based on how remote the species is from the mainstream, how far the creature is from humans, or how subtle the interaction is.

Languages

Main Attribute

Intelligence

The Languages skill is rolled when a character needs to speak to another creature in an alien language or dialect.  The difficulty is often similar to the Etiquette roll, but can be augmented more easily through technology. Often both Etiquette and Language will need to be rolled for a new encounter.

If a character passes their Etiquette roll but fails their Language roll, they did the right things, but they failed to communicate. The target's Disposition and Mood have likely not been damaged by the interchange, but one or both parties doesn't fully understand what each other said.

If a character passes their Language roll but fails their Etiquette roll, then both parties understand what each other said, but the Communications officer may have made a subtle faux paus, which may alter the alien's Mood or Deposition in a negative way.

4. Choose Field Operator Roles

Planetside there are six fairly critical roles that player characters can choose from.  Each player chooses 2 Roles to be trained in to start.  Each Role selection provides 1 Skill point in each of its two Skills.  Field Operations encompasses planetside missions and often involves Investigation, Infiltration, Planetary Travel or just general adventuring on a planet.

Athlete

An Athlete has honed their body to be in peak physical condition. They are able to move across various types of terrain and leap over some obstacles. Athletes handle the "adventurous" portions of Field Operations and often save other members of the party from hazards.

Skills

Acrobatics

Main Attribute

Agility

Characters use Acrobatics for dodging, running, tumbling and zero-g maneuvering.

Athletics

Main Attribute

Strength

Characters roll their Athletics for jumping, climbing, swimming and feats of strength.

Scout

When a character is in the Scout role, it's their job to move ahead of the main party (or in some cases behind or to the side) and look out for danger. Scouts should be stealthy, so that they spot the enemy first, and should have good Perception, because they need to be able to spot good hiding places or details about an enemy force.

The Scouting Skills are key for a Reconnaissance, Infiltration or Exfiltration mission.

Skills

Observation

Main Attribute

Perception

The Scout uses their Observation of the environment to spot good hiding places. The Scout rolls Observation to find a spot with Concealment (see the Stealth System). They use their Observation of enemy forces to gauge the type and number. They can use Observation on a single guard to guess at that guard's Alertness and other qualities, as well as that guard's movement patterns. Observation is critical to give the Scout as much information as possible.

Stealth

Main Attribute

Agility

The other critical skill for a Scout is their Stealth skill. This determines how well the Scout can hide and move quietly and without attracting notice. Note that this skill is for physically moving through places where you don't want anyone to see you. For following someone through a crowded urban space without being detected, see the Bounty Hunter's Shadowing skill.

Guard

The Guard role is for the character that is trying to protect the main party from danger. Guards can also be protecting specific characters or items. Guards are trained to be alert to incursions and to be able to quickly respond physically. If the party is set upon by an enemy, the Guard gets one free Standard Action they can use before Initiative is even rolled. This can be critical to hide or protect a single character or item.

If there is no one in the Guard role, the party just rolls Initiative upon an enemy incursion.

Skills

Alertness

Main Attribute

Perception

Characters roll their Alertness to attempt to notice something sneaking around or something suddenly coming into view. It is also used to determine Combat Initiative and to see who goes first in a duel. Alertness is the basis for the Initiative roll, which determines who goes first in a dangerous situation (Combat, Stealth, etc.)

Resistance

Main Attribute

Toughness

A Guard's Resistance skill is used to resist sleep, intoxication and drugs, poisons and environmental extremes. It is also used to resist Force Powers and monster abilities.

Investigator

The Investigator is the role that is either critical or unnecessary, depending on the specific Operation the team is on. If the team is Investigating or Tracking a mark, the Investigator is able to find clues using their Searching, and put together all the clues with their Deduction to determine where to go next. If there is an Investigator, they are allowed to roll to find clues even if their Passive Search would cause them to miss them.

If there is no Investigator, the party will ignore any clues in the area that are hard to find (e.g. have a difficulty higher than any character's Passive Search).

Skills

Deduction

Main Attribute

Intelligence

The Deduction skill is rolled to determine if the party has likely found all the clues in the area and is safe to move on to the next area. Deduction is also rolled when the Investigator has collected many clues and is trying to solve the mystery. They say their theory and then roll their Deduction against a difficulty. The difficulty for this mystery solving roll is based on the number of clues found. Fewer clues found increase the difficulty. If the Investigator gets at least 1 success, they gain a binary response from the Gamemaster whether their theory is right or not-right. Additional successes will provide hints from the GM to point the Investigator in the right direction.

If there is no one in the Investigator role, then the mystery will simply be unmanaged and the PCs may not solve it. The Gamemaster should let players know when having a dedicated Investigator would be very valuable.

Searching

Main Attribute

Perception

The Searching skill is used to directly find clues in an area. This skill encompasses standard Searching, genetic evidence (blood, hair, skin left at the scene), ballistics (direction of incoming shots, type of wounds, bullet tracing, blaster burn patterns, etc), and general clue finding. Each clue has a difficulty to be found. The Investigator can roll against this difficulty to see if they find a clue. If there is a character in the Investigator Role, then they at least know that there is a clue in the area, even if they can't find it on the first roll, which can prompt them to change the parameters of their search. Searching is added to Perception to create the Passive Search score.

Survivalist

The Survivalist has the knowledge and skill to survive in the harsh conditions of a planet's wilderness.  They know how to navigate through dark woods, dense jungles or baking desserts. They also know how to forage for food and water and avoid dangerous encounters.  Finally the Survivalist has skill in dealing with wild, alien animals, which may allow for diffusing dangerous situations, taming and even training these beasts.

Skills

Animal Handling

Main Attribute

Perception

The Animal Handling skill is used when a character wishes to interact with a wild animal, to prevent it from attacking. It is also used to tame and train a wild animal to domesticate it. Finally the skill is used to command a domesticated, trained animal. The difficulty for these rolls is based on the disposition of the animal.

Survival

Main Attribute

Intelligence

The Survival skill is rolled for multiple purposes:

• Foraging for food and water
• Looking for shelter, constructing shelter
• Predicting weather
• Avoiding dangerous alien animals
• Avoiding poisonous alien plants

On a harsh alien world having an expert in Survival can mean the difference between life and death.

If there is no one in the Survivalist role, the party will have to make due with their packed rations, water canteens and tents, and may stumble into dangerous animals and plants without warning or facility.

Technician

The counterpoint to the Survivalist, the Technician is at home on a highly technological planet. They know how to navigate the planet's Holonet, how to get information quickly, and how to interact with an alien computer or device. Technicians can reprogram Droids and computers to an extent. Technicians can use and understand various Gadgets, even if they are alien in design or function. Finally the Technician can bypass or disable some electronic locks and other security measures.

If there is no one in the Technician role, the party will be at the mercy of alien computers and Droids, and will not be able to breach locked doors quietly and will almost certainly set off multiple alarms.

Skills

Computers

Main Attribute

Intelligence

The Computers skill allows the Technician to access a local computer to try to extract information out of it. They can use this to get information out of the Holonet or the local network as well. Though this is not as sophisticated as the Slicer's Slicing abilities, it can be enough to access non-restricted information or functions. The difficulty for these depends on the level of security in place in that network or computer.

The Use Computer skill is also required to access a Droid's brain to reprogram it (either with, or without its consent). The difficulty for this is the Droids Confidence + Disposition (+- Mood).

Lock Picking

Main Attribute

Deftness

The Lock Picking skill is used to bypass physical locks, either electronic locks which are common to spaceships and other high-tech installations, or tumbler locks which are used extensively in lower-tech worlds. The character rolls against a difficulty the Gamemaster picks for the lock. For computer security, the Computers skill is used instead.

5. Choose Social Styles

Next a character chooses 2 Social Styles. The character will get additional Social Skills from any Classes they master.

Networker

The Networker likes to make friends and connections. They are good at having fun and pulling others into the party. They are also good at knowing who the right person is to talk to in order to accomplish a task within a bureaucracy.

Skills

Bureaucracy

Main Attribute

Intelligence

The Bureaucracy skill allows the Networker to know who's palm to grease, when to go by the book, and who to absolutely avoid when it comes to getting through a complex bureaucratic system. The difficulty for a bureaucracy skill check is based on how far up the hierarchy the task requires a change. The bottom levels are easier to slip through than the higher levels.

Carousing

Main Attribute

Charisma

Carousing is the skill to have fun and engage with others in a casual social setting. Using Carousing can improve the Dispositions of several characters simultaneously. This may also provide further information such as gossip and rumors.

Con Artist

The Con Artist always has an angle. They may have elaborate plans and confidence games involving several days, weeks, months or even years of preparation, or they may do everything "off the cuff", spontaneously. In either case, the Con Artist prefers targets with a lot of Pride that they can exploit. Failing that, a Naive dupe is almost as good.

Skills

Deception

Main Attribute

Charisma

The Deception skill is used to deceive or trick other characters into believing something that isn't true. This specific skill is specifically for spoken deceptions, such as acting and fast-talk, not for elaborate stage magic or illusion. For physical trickery, see Stealth (Field Operative: Scout).

Charm

Main Attribute

Charisma

Charm is the skill of saying nice things about someone in a way that seems sincere. It also helps with knowing the right things to say, and having a sense when Charm is working. Charm works better against creatures with Pride.

Instigator

The Instigator knows the kinds of things that really bug other people. They know how to push their buttons to rile them up. They know anger. They can use this ability on those prone to Wrath to enrage them. Or they can focus on the righteous anger of the oppressed and downtrodden. In either case they can whip up a frenzy in someone else.

Skills

Insults

Main Attribute

Confidence

An Instigator that's good at Insults is able to find just the right insult to make their target very angry. This can be exactly what the Instigator wants, since the angry character may be more prone to making a mistake. Insults work especially well against those with Wrath in their personality.

Rallying

Main Attribute

Confidence

An Instigator uses the Rallying skill to focus the righteous anger of a group of NPCs to psych them up for something dangerous, such as assaulting a strong enemy. The difficulty is increased if the enemy is very strong, and reduced for each wrong the enemy has committed against the NPC group.

Rallying can grant NPC Extras bonuses to their Offensive or Defensive statistics.

Leader

A Leader can use their body language and tone of voice to present themselves as someone powerful and imposing. They can use this to lead others, or to frighten them. Those with a lot of fear, or Cowardice are weak to the Leader.

Skills

Inspiration

Main Attribute

Charisma

A Leader uses the Inspiration skill to bolster the confidence of a subordinate or bystander. This is opposed to that character's Logic, if this is greater, the target becomes Inspired and their Confidence increases. This also can allow them to resist emotional attacks that they otherwise would have failed at..

Intimidation

Main Attribute

Confidence

The Intimidation skill can be used to instill fear in one or more targets. The targets that fail their Confidence check will become Frightened and suffer penalties from that.  A character with Cowardice is weak to Intimidation.

Negotiator

The Negotiator is looking to make a deal. This can be a financial arrangement or a diplomatic treatise. They use their Insight to get a sense for what the other side wants, which can give them an edge in Negotiation.

Skills

Insight

Main Attribute

Perception

The Negotiator uses the Insight skill to get a sense for what the target character's motivation and goals are, based on the conversations they've had with them or overheard.  The Insight skill can also be used to see through a Deception.

Negotiation

Main Attribute

Charisma

The Negotiation skill is used to make a deal with an NPC. The difficulty is based on how much the NPC wants what you've got, as well as their Confidence and Emotional Control. A success indicates that a deal was made, additional successes can increase the degree of success, potentially getting the Negotiator better terms or more profit. Those who are ruled by Greed are weak to the right kind of Negotiation.

Calculator

The Calculator uses Logic and reason to attempt to convince others to take a course of action. They also have greater Emotional Control and are able to resist the Emotional or Social Attack.

Emotional Control

Main Attribute

Confidence

The Emotional Control skill is used by the Calculator to resist Emotional states, such as Fear and Anger, and Social Attacks that target those emotions, Intimidation and Insults respectively. The character has their Confidence + Emotional Control rolled against the difficulty based on how strong the Fear or Anger inflicted was. Successes prevent the Stress the character would suffer, and allows the character to maintain their composure.

Logic

Main Attribute

Intelligence

The Logic skill is used to attempt to convince another character to do something based on logic and reason instead of emotion. It can be particularly strong against Droids and anyone with a Literal mind. It can also work better on those that are naturally wary of emotional manipulation or deception. The major flaw with using Logic is that the argument must actually be logical.

6. Make Attribute Selections

At this point the player will be able to allocate 1-2 Attribute Points, depending on their Species (Humans, Droids and HRD get 2, all other Species get 1). They should know by this point what they want their character to be good at, so allocating points at this stage should be easy.

Main Attributes

The following nine Attributes are the main ones that are rolled when a character is Doing Something (Attribute Check, Skill Check) or having something Done to Them (Attribute Check). The player will compose a dice pool with these Attributes most of the time.

Strength

Strength is the Active aspect of brawn, and it indicates physical strength. The ability to lift, throw, jump (for height or distance), crush or smash things. Strength is used directly in melee combat for both the To-Hit and Damage rolls.

Toughness

The ability to resist toxins, diseases, environmental hardships and special damage. This Toughness forms the creature's Block difficulty and is the base for the derived attribute Hit Points.

Deftness

The more Deftness a character has, the better they are with their hands. This can be the hand-eye coordination needed to accurately fire a ranged weapon, or it could be the kind of precision needed to disarm a mechanical trap or construct an intricate device.

Agility

A fast character is able to move and act quickly. This can be to dodge an incoming attack, to race across the rooftops in pursuit of a cutpurse, or to quickly slam the lid down on a trap that's accidentally been triggered.

Intelligence

An Intelligent character can be highly knowledgeable and learned, or tricky and good at creating deceptions. Intelligence is rolled for understanding alien technology, comprehending alien languages or customs, and plotting a hyperspace route. It is also used for coming up with clever lies to beguile a diplomat or a bluff to deceive a planetary governor.

Perception

A character's Perception is used for their physical senses, sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell (and others if they are alien). Perception is also used for mystical senses, and to see through deceptions. Perception is used to spot stealthed characters and incoming danger. Finally Perception is the base attribute for Initiative.

Charisma

A Charismatic character can get others to like them and convince them to do things for them. Their Charisma might be based on physical attractiveness, force of personality, an inherent likability, or a strength of character. Whatever it is, it's a kind of magnetism that makes others respond to the character in social situations.

Confidence

A high level of Confidence can prevent a character from being beguiled by someone with a lot of Charisma. This Confidence can be a manifestation of stubbornness, a lack of interest, or a strong feeling of self-worth. It allows the character to resist the charms and wiles of others. Confidence is also used for intimidating others and for types of leadership.

Force Rating

The ability for the character to sense, use and manipulate The Force. Each point of Force Rating allows the player to flip 1 Force Point. Any non-Droid character can choose to allocate their bonus Attribute points to Force Rating.

Derived Attributes

These Attributes are calculated from other values, but are just as important as the main 9 Attributes.

• Stealth Pool
• Hit Points
• Stun Points
• Life Points
• Armor Defense
• Block
• Dodge
• Parry
• Movement Speed
• Initiative
• Motivation

Stealth Pool

The Stealth Pool is a measure of how Stealthy the character can be when sneaking around and trying to avoid detection (see Stealth System).

A character's starting Stealth Pool is based on their Size Category.

Size Category to Stealth Pool

Creature Size	Stealth Pool Base
Tiny	7
Small	6
Medium	5
Large	4
Huge	3
Gargantuan	2
Colossal	1

Characters can increase their Stealth Pool using Talents for various Classes (Bounty Hunter, Martial Artist, Scoundrel and Spy).

Hit Points

A character's Hit Points is an indicator of how many Hits or Damage a character can take before they are knocked unconscious and Injured.

This begins as a Derived Attribute, but can be increased by leveling.

Hit Points

5 + Toughness + 1 per Class Level up to 20

Hit Points can be restored with medicine and rest.

A character that sleeps for eight hours restores 1 hit point per hour while asleep.

If a character is reduced to zero Hit Points, they suffer an Injury and fall unconscious.

If a character suffers more damage after they have been KO'ed, each additional Hit is treated as a Critical Hit and can inflict an additional Injury.

Stun Points

If a character is being attacked using non-lethal force, they can take a number of Hits before they fall unconscous.

This number is their Stun Points. Most characters have fewer Stun Points than Hit Points, but they recover from all Stun Damage done to their Stun Points after a 10 minute rest.

Whenever a character levels up in a Class and would receive a bonus Hit Point, they can instead decide to allocate it as a Stun Point.

Stun Points

2 + Intelligence + 1 per Class Level (instead of Hit Point) up to 20

When a character loses all of their Stun Points due to Stress, they do not suffer from an Injury. This means that it's wise for most characters to choose to gain an additional Hit Point over a Stun Point.

Life Points

Player Characters can suffer up to six Injuries before their lives are in danger. If they sustain one more Injury before they are healed, they will die.

Therefor characters have seven "Life Points".

Life Points

7

Passive Defense

The standard difficulty for an opposing character's Attack, the Passive Defense determines how well the character can avoid being hit even when they are not dedicating an ACtion to defending.

The basic Passive Defense is based on a character's Agility and/or Armor. This is the default difficulty for whenever the character is not actively trying to avoid damage. This difficulty also has no other requirements (see the defenses below, which all have requirements).

Passive Defense

Agility + Armor Deflection Bonus - Armor Agility Penalty

This Passive Defense can also be modified by a character's Size Category.

Creature Size To-Hit Bonus or Penalty

Creature Size	Passive Defense Modifier
Tiny	+2
Small	+1
Medium	0
Large	-1
Huge	-2
Gargantuan	-4
Colossal	-8

A character's Passive Defense is rolled as a Dice Pool against most forms of Attack Dice Pools with each Evade (and Focus Result if the character is using Concentrate) canceling one Hit or Critical Hit on an incoming Attack Roll.

There are also three Active Defenses. These are higher than the standard Passive Defense, but that's because the defender must use a Standard Action to activate them. In addition, each one has a limitation and a weakness to a specific type of attack.

Block

A character must be equipped with and wielding a shield to be able to Block. Blocked attacks cause the shield being used to take the damage instead of the character. For an energy shield, the "Hit Points" of the shield are reduced with the damage of each attack. With a physical shield it suffers durability damage whenever the attack's total number of hits exceeds its threshold (going down by the excess points).

The player character has their Block Dice Pool rolled against the incoming Attack Dice Pool.

Block

Toughness + Strength + Shield Bonuses

Dodge

A character must be able to move to an adjacent square to be able to Dodge. This doesn't mean that the character does move to the adjacent square, just that they must be able to (they move partially into the square and then move back to their original position).

The player character has their Dodge Dice Pool rolled against the incoming Attack Dice Pool.

Dodge

Agility + Perception - Armor Agility Penalty

Parry

A character must have a Melee Weapon or Bracers to be able to Parry lethal attacks without being Injured (the Steel Hands Martial Artist Talent). Most characters can only use Parry against Melee attacks.  Force Users can learn Talents that let them Parry against Thrown Weapon and Ranged Weapon attacks.

The player character has their Parry Dice Pool rolled against the incoming Attack Dice Pool.

Parry

Deftness + Agility + Parry Bonuses

Movement Speed

A character's Movement distance per Action is based on their Agility attribute. This value is used during Combat, Stealth and some other game modes to determine how far the character can move in squares on a map. This is also used to determine how many Range Bands they can move in a single Turn (see Combat System).

Agility to Movement

Agility	Movement (in Squares)
1	4
2	5
3	6
4	7
5	8

However, the size of the creature also contributes to its movement. The default Movement = Agility + 3 is only for Medium Creatures.

For creatures smaller than Medium, there is a 1 square Movement Penalty.

For creatures larger than Medium, there is a 1 square Movement Bonus.

Initiative

A player character has a dice pool they roll to determine the order in which they get to act or react.

This Initiative score is a combination of Perception and the Alertness skill. The Initiative can also be increased by the Quick Draw Special Move, talents and player character actions during challenges.

Initiative

Perception + Alertness + Bonuses

Motivation

A character's Motivation represents how excited, angry or determined they are to accomlpish things and win out over opposition.

Motivation is used to activate Special Abilities for Combat or Classes.

Characters (usually) do not begin a session with Motivation, and there are several ways that they can earn it. In the rare case that a character needs to carry Motivation over from session to session, there is a place on the standard character sheet to record this carry-over.

7. Pick 2 Virtues and 1 Flaw

The player can now choose their characters Virtues and Flaws.  A character can have 2 Virtues and 1 Flaw.  The Virtues provide bonuses against some types of Emotional or Social manipulations.  The Flaws conversely represent weaknesses.

Virtues

Virtues provide Resistance to specific types of Social or Emotional attacks. This means that the difficulty to resist a Social or Emotional attack is effectively halved.

Humility

The character is strong against Charm and manipulation of Pride.

Flaws

Flaws represent weaknesses in the character. They double the difficulty (or half the defense) to resist specific types of Social or Emotional attacks.  Flaws also provide 1 of the character's default Motivators, though they don't have to "allocate" it as one of their three Motivators.

Avarice

The character is weak to Negotiation, especially to the specific thing that they want (see below).

Envy

Specifically the character desires something someone else has.

Loneliness

The character is weak to Carousing and Seduction effects.

Motivator: Whenever the character spends at least 10 minutes chatting with an unimportant character in an attempt to use Seduction or Carousing to improve the target's Disposition towards them, they gain 1 Motivation.

Naivety

The character is weak to Deception and Illusion effects.

Motivator: Whenever the character spends at least 10 minutes talking to, and attempting to befriend an NPC that is clearly dangerous, they gain 1 Motivation.

Wrath

The character is weak to Insults.

Motivator: Whenever the character attacks a target in combat while it is fleeing, they gain 1 Motivation.

8. Pick Starting Class

2. Dazzler
3. Elementalist

Ace

The Ace Pilot is to Vehicle combat what the Soldier and Mercenary are to personal weapons combat. Her arms and armor are the weapons and shields of a sleek starship roaring through space, or an airspeeder shrieking through the atmosphere. A veteran of countless engagements, the Ace has proven her skill again and again by virtue of facing the enemy and surviving- and making sure the enemy did not. She has several kills to her credit, and her combat maneuvers are occasionally studied and discussed in training academies for their ingenuity and effectiveness.

Base Abilities

• Maneuvers: Aces have special flying maneuvers that they practice. Each maneuver is considered to be "Red" and inflict 1 Stress on their ship, unless that Maneuver is already supported by that ship type (see its Maneuver Dial), in which case it is considered "White". These special Maneuvers give them the edge in vehicle contests (chases) and dogfights. A Level Zero Ace selects 1 Maneuver. Other maneuvers are purchasable from the talent tree. The Ace is then able to use a Maneuver even if the ship doesn't support it natively.
• Hot Seat: By spending 1 Motivation, the Ace is able to roll for any Ship Station, if they are in the pilot's chair and they don't have an all-in-one console. (This represents them either shouting precise instructions to a helper, or leaning out of the chair to hit an auxiliary switch)

Motivators

• Fly Casual: Whenever the Ace spends at least 10 minutes just flying around in a vehicle for the fun of it, they gain 1 Motivation.
• Open Throttle: Whenever the Ace is able to push a vehicle's Speed to its maximum, they gain 1 Motivation. This can include using the highest forward dial setting during a dogfight.

Bounty Hunter

The Bounty Hunter capitalizes on the vendettas of others, tracking down fugitives for their enemies, their masters, or simply for justice. The best Bounty Hunters are the ones who can stay emotionally detached from either their employers or their quarry.

Whether working alone or in groups, Bounty Hunters revel in the thrill of the hunt. Given the nature of their work, it goes without saying that few Bounty Hunters die of boredom.

Base Abilities

• Hunter's Mark: As an Action, the Bounty Hunter spends 1 Motivation and mentally marks their target, gaining benefits against them. The Bounty Hunter gains +2 attack dice against the target. This advantage lasts for 10 minutes, or until another Mark is chosen using another Action. The Hunter must be able to directly perceive them to Mark them (Holo recordings don't count).
• Sharpened Senses: The Bounty Hunter has raised their senses to an inhuman degree. This is either due to alien physiology, cybernetics, Droid upgrades, or Force Powers. Whatever the case, by spending 1 Motivation, the Bounty Hunter can add 2 dice to any Perception Roll for up to 10 minutes.

Motivators

• Legwork: Whenever the Bounty Hunter spends 10 minutes talking to witnesses or searching for clues, they gain 1 Motivation.
• Bring Them in Warm: Whenever the Bounty Hunter KO's a target instead of killing them, they gain 2 Motivation.

Diplomat

The Diplomat dedicates their time to trying to solve problems with words and treaties instead of force and violence. The Diplomat ties the galaxy together using Promises and Favors. They seek to create Deals that are beneficial to both parties. The Diplomat is not against using underhanded means, as long as they keep their reputation squeaky clean, because a Diplomat's promises are nothing if their reputation is poor.

Base Abilities

• Promise: The Diplomat can use a Promise as their contribution to a Deal they are negotiating. If the Deal is agreed upon, the Diplomat must fulfill the Promise at a certain point, or they will lose a point of Reputation. If a Diplomat's Reputation is negative, they cannot use a Promise as their contribution.
• Favor: The Diplomat can use a Favor as their compensation to a Deal they are negotiating. If the Deal is agreed upon, the Diplomat can use the favor as a bargaining chip in another Deal, or they can call in the Favor themselves at a future point.
• Desire Detection (Level 1): The Diplomat is attuned to the desires of others. By spending 1 Motivation, the Diplomat can roll a Perception + Insight roll against the target's Confidence + Emotional Control. If they succeed and one of the target's Flaws is Avarice, the Diplomat can tell either the type of Avarice (Envy, Greed, or Gluttony) or what it is that they want. If the target does not have Avarice as a Flaw, the Diplomat has their Motivation refunded.

Motivators

• Let's Make a Deal: Every time the Diplomat makes a Deal, they gain 1 Motivation. Deals can include effort or expenditures in exchange for Favors, either delivered or Promised.
• A Promise Kept: Every time the Diplomat spends at least 10 minutes talking to people or working to make good on a Promise that they made, they gain 2 Motivation.

Doctor

Doctors are highly trained healers, able to function in the worst of conditions and circumstances. They possess great knowledge of the healing arts and sciences. They know quick and effective treatment methods and use them to perform near-miracles to save injured and dying creatures.

Base Abilities

• Examination: The Doctor can take 10 minutes to give a character a full Examination. This lets the Doctor establish a baseline of health for the character, to contrast for if the character is injured or ill. If the Doctor has a recent Examination for a character, they can reduce a difficulty by 1 level when diagnosing or treating that character. An examination is considered "recent" if it happened in that session.
• Dedicated Doctor: The Doctor can spend 1 Motivation to reroll 1 die for First Aid or Medicine. This Motivation can be spent after the initial roll. If the Doctor had recently given the target an Examination, they can instead reroll up to 3 dice.

Motivators

• Caregiver: Whenever the Doctor heals a patient, restoring Hit Points or healing Injuries, they gain 1 Motivation.
• Thorough Examiner: Whenever the Doctor gives a patient an Examination, they gain 1 Motivation.

Engineer

The platoon's transport has broken down. The radio is not working. Two of the soldiers' rifles have jammed. The enemy is closing in. Who is going to fix everything in time? This is when the Engineer steps in. Engineers are tech specialists who focus their energy on making repairs in the field and keeping the group's hardware running until they make it back to base.

Base Abilities

• Disassemble Device: As an Extended Action (10 minutes), the Engineer can disassemble a Small device into component parts. See specific Disassembly rules below for more options.
• Create Device: As an Extended Action (10 minutes or more), the Engineer can create a new, small, custom device. They must have the appropriate Engineering Parts of the appropriate Rarity and Tech Level. The Engineer must roll their Intelligence + Mechanics against the difficulty of the device's Rarity + Complexity and have at least the same number of successes to complete the device.

Motivators

• Tinkerer: Whenever the Engineer spends at least 10 minutes Creating or Modifying a device, they gain 1 Motivation.
• Hoarder: Whenever the Engineer disassembles a looted device and keeps some of the parts, they gain 1 Motivation.

Explorer

Explorers are natural adventurers, full of curiosity and trained to handle the out-of-the-way locations where they often operate. Explorers tend to be independent, signing on when the credits are good and their skills are best utilized and tested. Explorers understand the lay of the land and the orbit of the stars. They know how to recognize danger and locate the basic necessities for survival. The Explorer seeks knowledge, tries to solve mysteries, and to find a path through the wild regions, often becoming a decent pilot along the way, and usually learns how to protect himself from whatever hides over the next hill or beyond the most distant nebula.

Base Abilities

• Awestruck: When the Explorer finds something new to them, they can choose to enter the Awestruck state. In this state the Explorer is resistant to all Social and Emotional Attacks (they have trouble concentrating on other things). Unfortunately, their Passive Defense is also cut in half. The Explorer gains 1 Motivation when entering the Awestruck state.
• Animal Companion Training: As an Extended Action, the Explorer can train an already Tamed animal to become their Animal Companion. This requires them to succeed in an Animal Handling Challenge (train the animal for 7 days), after which point the target tamed animal's Intelligence score increases by 1, and the animal can now function as an Animal Companion.

Motivators

• Pathfinder: Whenever the Explorer takes at least 10 minutes to detour off the main route to examine something or search an area, they gain 1 Motivation.
• Animal Friend: Whenever the Explorer takes at least 10 minutes to be kind to an animal in an attempt to befriend, tame or train it, they gain 1 Motivation.

Lightsaber Duelist

The Lightsaber Duelist studies fighting with the titular powerful energy blade. This is quite tricky as lightsabers are very light, repel each other and are repelled by shields, and cut and burn like lasers. Many Lightsaber techniques can be used without The Force, and mastery of the lightsaber can often even the odds against a powerful force user.

Base Abilities

• Disarming Slash [Finesse][Attack]: A Form I: Shii-Cho strike directed at the opponent's weapon in an attempt to rip it out of their grasp or destroy it. As an Action, the Duelist spends 1 Motivation and rolls this +2 Finesse Attack. If the strike Critically Hits, the opponent's weapon is knocked out of their hands (1-2 Crit) or destroyed (3+ Crit).
• Sarlacc Sweep [Power][Attack]: A Form I: Shii-Cho wide sweeping attack in which the duelist struck against multiple enemies. As an Action the Duelist spends 2 Motivation and performs this Power Attack. This move strikes up to four adjacent enemies and gains +3 Attack Dice. The Hits are canceled by the first character in the arc (via Defense), then they take damage.

Martial Artist

The Martial Artist is a master at fighting unarmed. They learn multiple techniques to increase their damage output even without weapons. They also learn how to master exotic weapons and can fight with some proficiency even with a weapon they have just picked up.

Base Abilities

• Steel Hands: The basic ability of the Martial Artist, this technique allows them to harden their limbs almost to the hardness of steel. This allows them to Parry attacks with their bare hands instead of with a Weapon. Without this ability, a character cannot Parry barehanded. However, Parrying Modern and High-Tech weapons is less effective (-2 dice pools against these weapons).
• Distel Maasento [Stance]: As an Action the Martial Artist assumes this Stance. Until they change stances they can spend 1 Motivation to perform a Finesse Unarmed Attack as a Free Action against a target in range. The Weapon Damage Base for this attack is equal to the character's Strength, and utilizes any bonus damage from this class' talents (Unarmed Bonus Damage).

The defender rolls an appropriate defense against each attack.

If esoteric information is needed to solve a mystery, the Scholar likely knows it. Many Scholars enjoy doing their research from behind a comfortable desk, but some feel that it's field work that brings the most valuable information. Scholars in the field use their knowledge to their advantage, and try to avoid trouble whenever possible.

The real power of the Scholar comes in their knowledge of and ability to utilize the Ancient Artifacts of Lost Civilizations. These priceless Artifacts have abilities not replicated in the galaxy at large, and as such the Scholar has access to unique abilities.

The Scoundrel gets by with bravado, Intelligence, duplicity, and trickery. They live by their wits, lying, cheating, stealing, and even fighting when the need arises.
