As Edge of the Empire describes: The Career is the heart of the character which the player chooses, it defines who they are, and who they will always be. For example, Han Solo plays the pilot of the Millenium Falcon, one of the biggest heroes of the Rebellion, and is devious at heart when he kills Greedo. However, in the end, he will always be a Smuggler. This being said, once you choose your permanent Career, from the Career you have your Specializations. The first specialization is free, however, for every other specialization afterward, it costs 20 XP for your second, then 30 XP for your third, then 40 XP for your fourth if you decide you want to.
When you choose your Career, you are given a series of skills, you can pick four of them to upgrade to Rank 1 or 2 depending on if you have a rank in it or not, and you cannot go past Rank 2. When the license expired in May , WotC declined the offer to renew it. The first installment of the 'trilogy' was first sold in a beta version Star Wars: Edge of the Empire Beta in late Fantasy Flight initially drew criticism for releasing a beta version, making people pay twice, and for the extra expense of the unusual custom dice; but reviews after launch were enthusiastic about the dice, with Game Informer saying 'In practice, this system offers tremendous flexibility to allow the players to participate in the storytelling process, rather than just waiting for the GM to respond after a die roll.
The players talk together about how to interpret a roll of the dice, and shape the results to make the most exciting story. It also speaks strongly to the cinematic nature of the Star Wars universe; characters in the movies often succeed or fail along with potent side effects. In the following release timeline, supplements are not included, however the timeline includes dice sets and the principal rule-containing products from all four lines of standalone games, including beta versions, beginner games, and core rulebooks.
All three installments of the Star Wars Roleplaying Game are set within the time period of the original Star Wars trilogy. Star Wars: Edge of the Empire is set shortly after the destruction of the first Death Star, and deals with characters on the fringes of galactic space.
Like Edge of the Empire , Force and Destiny is set shortly after the destruction of the first Death Star and the death of Obi-Wan Kenobi, when the force sensitives and Jedi slowly start to re-emerge in hopes of rebuilding the Jedi Order. The Dawn of Rebellion Era sourcebook is set during the waning of the Republic and the ascendance of the Empire.
It deals with the events of Rogue One , in which the Rebellion is divided into factions and is opposing the Empire just as it is consolidating its power. The Force Awakens Beginner Game is set during the current era depicted in Star Wars: The Force Awakens , with the adventure provided taking place just before the events of the movie.
Attribute levels range from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 6. Each character race has different base Attribute levels, though additional levels in each attribute can be gained during or after character creation, at the cost the value of the next level times Strain is a derived attribute based on a Racial minimum plus the character's Willpower that determines how much physical, mental or emotional stress a character can take before collapsing.
Wound Points are a derived attribute based on a Racial minimum plus the character's Brawn that determines how much physical damage a character can take before passing out or slipping into a coma. After determining attributes, the player designs their character using a Racial Template. Each race has different racial attribute minimums and maximums.
Some races also have a free level in a racial skill usually up to a maximum of Level 2 at creation or have a racial talent. As an example, humans have a racial template that has a score of 2 in all Attributes and can have any two different skills of the player's choice at the start of play. The player then picks a Career , which grants career skills. Then they pick a Specialization which grants more career skills, and a Specialization Tree , which grants specialization-based Talents.
Career Skills are granted their first level free during initial character creation. They also cost less than regular Skills when buying additional levels in them.
The character's career grants four Career Skills from the Career template skill list and their career specialization grants two more career Skills from the Specialization template skill list. For instance, an Engineer-Mechanic and Technician-Mechanic have the same Specialization Tree but have different specialization template career skills to choose from to depict their different character concepts. Characters cannot buy a new Career but may buy additional Specializations - whether they are under their Career or not.
However, if a character wishes to buy another specialization, it costs less for one under their chosen Career than for one under another Career. For example, the Engineer Career in the core Age of Rebellion book narrows down to the Mechanic, Saboteur, and Scientist specializations. An Engineer - Mechanic who wants to add the Engineer's Scientist specialization would pay less than if they wanted to add the Ace's Pilot specialization.
The character can even take a Specialization from one of the other games like the Edge of the Empire Technician's Slicer or Bounty Hunter's Martial Artist specializations. The game's rules assume that all characters have all the listed skills at 'zero level' if they do not have a level in it. The character's default skill level is equal to the skill's governing Attribute score.
You can travel the galaxy in search of ancient Jedi knowledge, protect the downtrodden on your home planet, or pilot a starship for the Rebellion.
