Revised System

Stories

Characters

I intented to break down the classes in-depth here so we can leave the character creation page with only 1 line summaries of the classes. Info will eventually include a description, favored attributes, favored abilities, any special abilities, and other general notes.

Classes will remain broad and they will determine the cost of purchasing different upgrades at level up, they will also dictate, at least to some level what feats or other advantages are available to you.

Jedi

The force sensitive class, this generally constitutes being part of the Jedi Order but there may be exceptions. Force attributes and skills will be heavily favored. To start as this class expect to have the Force Potential background at 3 or higher.

Noble

Nobles are the most socially adept people in the universe. Nobles are often public faces that make a public rally for people to follow their lead, but just as commonly a noble can be the leader of a crime syndicate pulling strings and manipulating from behind the scenes. A noble must always be completely composed; if he loses his wits then all that he knows will be lost before he can blink. Nobles are commonly wealthy in one manner or another, there are many forms of wealth besides the number of credits a person has. Many nobles trade the lives of their subordinates just as readily as they do money, drugs, or merchandise. A noble’s image is often his life; his image may be of a cruel tyrant, a devout politician, or a shrewd merchant whatever the case may be a good noble never lets anyone see anything else. Perhaps he is as true as his image appears to be, but more commonly the life of a noble is much, much more complicated.

Class Attributes

A noble’s strength is his ability to affect the lives of others, the most effective way to do this to a larger group is through his presence and his words. Noble’s are must be skilled at all social interaction to gain true power, therefore they treat Presence, Manipulation, and Composure as favored attributes.

Class Abilities

Despite the natural skill of the noble’s to influence those around them they too must work diligently to maintain their skills, if not a rival with a silver tongue will quickly steal his influence and power. Nobles treat these abilities as favored: Negotiation, Persuasion, Integrity, Performance, Socialize, Bureaucracy, Con, Intimidate, and Investigation.

Scoundrel

A broad term for rogue, not necessarily a law breaker but someone who lives to survive. The class that is closest to the jack of all trades, this character can make do with any situation he is thrown into. this class will probably have the most freedom when choosing favored abilities and attributes.

Soldier

The most combat adept people in the universe are soldiers. What at first seems to make up a very nary scope of people in the universe ends up making up a very large amount. Combat is one of the most common traits in the universe; nearly every star system has experienced war. Because of this, nearly every star system has a large number of people who are trained to protect it. Combat has many different forms across the Star Wars universe; the soldiers are at the forefront of all of these. Soldiers make proficient marksmen with a blaster; they are silent killers with high-tech melee weapons, brutal martial artists, skilled pilots, and the greatest commanders of troops in the entire universe. The average soldier is excellent at one or two of these arts of war, a true soldier is master of all of them.

Class Attributes

Almost all forms of combat involve training the body to be the perfect weapon. To reflect the soldiers’ emphasis on physical prowess Strength, Dexterity, and Stamina are considered favored attributes for all soldiers.

Class Abilities

Soldiers spend their time training diligently to perfect their combat style; however soldiers also have a natural talent for learning these skills quickly. To reflect their natural skill at all forms of combat they have these favored abilities: Athletics, Firearms, Melee, Brawl, Survival, Heavy Weapons, Pilot Starships, Gunnery, Pilot Ground, Intimidate, Pilot Capital Ship, Tactics, Dodge, Repair: Military, and Demotions.

Feats

The soldier’s skill in combat extends to almost superhuman abilities allowing them to become the most feared people in the universe. Soldiers tend to favor feats that increase the combat effectiveness, normally choosing to focus on a type of combat and perfecting it.
