Rules of Character Creation

#1

Post by Trip » Wed Aug 16, 2017 10:14 pm

This is a draft. Please add any discussion to the The Game Concept thread.

Character creation rules are as follows:
There may be up to 6 PCs.

All FFG books may be used but for careers see the Career
Career thread.

Characters will be created based on the rules in FaD, including the use of Morality as the basis for extra starting XP or credits.

As a GM Grant, each PC receives a starting Force Rating of 1. They get 20 XP earned XP they can spend anything including Force powers (mentor cost). But any force power you buy has to be in the backstory of how you noticed you have a "gift". The only thing you cannot spend it on is increasing your characteristics.

One character must be a 'face'. The key requirement is that the PC must have at least 1 skill rank in both Charm and Negotiation (with 2 in each by far preferable).

One character must be a skilled pilot.

One character must be a leader. The key requirement is that the PC must have at least 1 skill rank in Leadership (2 preferable)

One character must be a "tank".

Once those four are filled, two additional PC can be added. These can be FS or non FS.

IF they are non-FS characters they will have a starting Morality of 50. PCs begin with a Duty of 5. A senator in the Republic knows of your innocence but cannot help you directly until you can prove to the republic that you are not guilty. Your duty will grow with him. As it does, he will be more willing to assist you.

All gear and upgrades must be paid for. Remember that you are on the run from a corrupt republic general. So you start with very little.

Any species are permitted.

Species that FFG has not (yet) provided stats for may be allowed, subject to GM approval.

Items that have a base rarity of 6+ must be rolled for availability.
