Star Wars Roleplaying Game Saga Edition Core Rulebook

TheSaga Edition Core Rulebook includes statistics from all of theStar Wars films as well as theExpanded Universe. Significant changes from the previous rules system include:

1. Utilization of a single "Use the Force" skill with a simplerForce system instead of having a skill for each Force power.
2. Combining skills together (e.g. "spot" and "listen" have been combined into a single "perception" skill).
3. Merging ofJedi Consular andJedi Guardian into a single base Jedi character class, as well as the merging of thefringer,Force Adept, andtech specialist character classes into the 5 base classes.
4. Character talent trees to allow diverse character concepts to be available through the various base and prestige classes.
5. Removal of the vitality/wound point (VP/WP) system in favor of a more conventional hit point (HP) system for combat.
6. A revised combat system to make combat run faster, particularly at higher levels.
7. The introduction of a new "Condition track" which represents a character's health status such as injury, fatigue,poison,stun, and morale.

Many combat examples in the book have been illustrated usingStar Wars Miniatures pieces in place of characters.

Basic Summary‡[]

Saga Edition is based on the d20 system, which uses a twenty-sided die for most of its core mechanics, such as determining the outcome of skill checks and attack rolls. For damage rolls, health, and starting credits, other dice are used, such as ten-sided, four-sided, six-sided, and twelve-sided dice.

Unlike the fourth-edition RPG Dungeons and Dragons (which is published by the same company), there are only five base classes: Jedi, Noble, Scout, Scoundrel, and Soldier. TheJedi class is proficient withlightsaber combat and use of the Force. Although generally used for actual Jedi, the class is also occasionally used for otherForce-sensitives of similar skills such asSith orJensaarai. TheNoble class is primarily focused on social skills such as deception and persuasion, as well as the ability to boost their allies. However, they have low combat abilities. TheScoundrel class offers the ability to focus on various skills such as computerslicing,piloting, stealth, andmechanics, as well as abilities that impede their opponents. The scoundrel is usually seen as the "Han Solo" of the group. TheScout class can focus onexploration, tracking, survival, stealth, or piloting. TheSoldier class is highly proficient at combat, with the ability to use a variety of weapons andarmor. There are also Prestige Classes which can be selected at higher levels. These allow for greater specialization of abilities.^[2]
