HOUSERULE - FALLING TO THE DARK SIDE

Dark Side Score and Falling to the Dark Side In Star Wars, the Dark Side of the Force is an even present force of corruption for those individuals looking for quick and easy solutions and for those filled with anger or feat. Doing evil acts (murder, torture, blowing up a planet) add to a being’s Dark Side Score. The GM should determine the number of points a being might gain for evil acts. Minor transgressions like causing another being harm for no reason or your own joy might earn you one, while evil transgression while unjustified murder or torturing a being for pleasure might cause five or more, etc. Giving the order to blow up a planet set you to Consumed by Darkness automatically.

Tempted by Darkness: A character with at least 1 Dark Side point but less than ½ its’ Spirit is considered to be tempted by the Dark Side of the Force. This character feels a slight brush of the Dark Side of the Force and is often quicker to give into anger and fear. The character is further tempted by the Dark Side in the following way (a) whenever a character invokes Dark Fortune (see below), it gains a +1d4 bonus to the end result; (b) a character can spend a Benny and activate any non-Light side Force Power as a Free Action instead of an Action. The character’s Dark Side Score increase by 1 each time they invoke either.
Tainted by Darkness: A character with a Dark Side Score greater than ½ its’ Spirit die but less than its full die has been tainted by the Dark Side of the Force. A Tainted character is more tempted to do evil to solve its problems. This character suffers the additional temptations listed above and also they gain a +1 dark side bonus to and Focus skill check to active any Dark Side Force Power. However they must pay one additional Power Point to use a Light Side Force Power and suffer a -1 to the Focus skill check to active such powers. All characters (not just Force Users) suffer a -1 to Persuasion skill checks but gain a +1 to Intimidate skill checks.
Consumed by Darkness: A character with a Dark Side Score equal to its’ Spirit die has been consumed by Dark Side of the Force. Characters who have been consumed by the Dark Side of the Force can no long Call on the Dark Side of the Force (see below) nor do they gain the dark side bonus to Dark Side powers and they can no longer use any Light Side Power. All whom have been consumed by the Dark Side gain a +2 to Intimidate skill checks but suffer a -2 to Persuasion skill checks. These bonus and penalties can be ignored by the Dark Sider when it uses Conceal Arcane power.

Call on the Dark Side: Temptation – NOTE that the following apply to player characters ONLY so that they can be tempted towards the Dark Side. NPC do not use these rules. Those characters with Force Sensitive feat are especially vulnerable to the call of the Dark Side of the Force but everyone can have Dark Side points. The Dark Side of the Force is every tempting to all creatures of the Universe. All characters who have not yet been Consumed by Darkness (see above) can call on the Dark Side of the Force to gain some additional benefits. Once you have fallen completely to the Dark Side you can longer be tempted as it were.

Calling on the Dark Side (force sensitive only): A force used can gain the use of a Dark Side Power without having to spending a Benny (see the Force)!! The character automatically gain a Dark Side Point and if their actions warrant it may even increase more.
Dark Fortune: When a character spends a Benny to re-roll a check it gains a +2 bonus to its total (this stacks with the Elan edge). This increase the characters Dark Side Score by 1.
Dark Luck: As a free action a character can gain back one spent Benny that you just used, but in doing so the characters Dark Side Score is increased by 1.
Dark Reserves: A character can spend a Benny as an Action to gain a free Natural Healing check just as if they had spend a day resting and recovering (SWA pg. 96). This increase the characters Dark Side Score by 2 and can only be done once per 24 hours.
Flight or Fight: A character can spend a Benny and gain an additional Standard Action that they can take during their normal Action. This increase the characters Dark Side Score by 2.
Renew (force sensitive only): As a Action you regain 5 spent Power Points back (up to your maximum amount). This increase the characters Dark Side Score by 1.

Redemption: There are two ways to lower ones Dark Side Point score. The first is by spending an Advance, which reduces your Dark Side Points by 2. Another way would be to go on a Quest of Redemption set by the GM or be preforming various heroic deeds. This should be a heroic type endeavor and require some sacrifice by the character. Reduces Dark Side Points by 1+.

CHARACTER CREATION

Traits – 5 points for Attributes and 15 for Skills.
All Wild Card characters began with the Elan edge for free.
Languages – you can either choice ½ your Smarts dice in d4 languages that you can speak and understand (so long as the language is not limited) or you can understand the same number of languages at a d6 level but cannot speak them (like Binary or Shyriiwook).
Starting Gear: Characters start with a set of Civilian Garb, one basic weapon and any one other piece of equipment, both must be of Moderate value (up to -1) and nothing greater than licensed or uncommon availability. You can also start with your Wealth die in cheap (+1 and +2) items. All players may choose additional Moderate (up to -1) items up to ½ Wealth die purchases. Aristocrat and Rich can purchase one Expensive (up to -3) item (Filthy Rich can start with two). Characters with the Poverty Hindrance start with either a Weapon or one other piece of equipment that is of Moderate value (up to -1) only. Then gains 2 cheap items but no other purchases are allowed. If you use a Minor Hindrance for extra cash you gain three additional picks of your Wealth level value or one of one greater value at character creation.

SPECIES

The galaxy is an unimaginably vast place, and few people can claim to have seen more than a handful of the intelligent species out there. Thanks to parallel evolution, most species are fairly humanoid in appearance, although the specifics tend to get fuzzy. All have been created using those found in SWA but +4 Positive Racial Abilities instead of the base +2 from the SWA core rules.

Instead of creating the dozens seen in just the movies I am creating only a few an allowing players to create their own species (subject to GM approval of course).


Humans: The most common and populous of the various species of the galaxy, humans are as unique and varied as the many worlds they inhabit.

Adaptable: One free Edge of choice, must still meet requirements
Versatile: increase starting Attribute Traits by one (6 trait attribute points at character creation)
Homeworld: Unknown (possibly multiple worlds)
Languages: Basic

Duros: One of the oldest species of the Republic, they were also one of the first to develop hyper-space drives systems (it is not really known if it was Humans, Duros, or Zabraks or some other species that first developed space flight). Having almost completely abandoned their worn out and polluted home-world in favor of traveling the stars, the Duros live in a uniquely mobile culture comparative to most races.

Agile: base Agility of a d6 and max starting of a d12+1
Cautious: as Minor Hindrances. Duros rarely act impulsively.
Low-Light Vision: ignores penalties for Dim or Dark illumination.
Spacers: base skills in Piloting d4 and Repair d4.
Homeworld: Unknown
Languages: Basic and Durese

Gran: The Gran are easily distinguished by their triple eyestalks, small horns, and jutting jaw lines. Normally peaceful and diplomatic, they are long-standing members of the Republic, and maintain a largely excellent interstellar reputation. Excepting those on Malastare, Gran believe in a strictly controlled society in which individuals work for the betterment of the whole.

Keen Senses: +2 to Notice checks
Loyal: as Minor Hindrance, to society and friends
Outgoing: base Persuasion skill d6 and maximum starting of a d12+1.
Triple Eyes: as the Marksman Edge
Homeworld: Kinyen
Languages: Basic and Gran

Mon Calamari: Hailing from the watery world of the same name, which they share with another sentient species, the Quarren, the Mon Cals tend to be rather idealistic in nature, but have nonetheless developed a highly evolved technological society. Despite initial conflict, they worked to civilize the more primitive deep-dwelling Quarren, eventually reaching a symbiotic state with them, in which the Quarren provide most of the raw materials from deep ocean mines, and the Mon Cals produce finished goods.

Aquatic: cannot drown in oxygenated water and moves at full Pace when swimming.
Bright: base Smarts of a d6 and max starting of d12+1
Dependency: Mon Calamari must immerse themselves in water one hour out of every 24 or become automatically Fatigued each day until they are Incapacitated. The day after Incapacitation from dehydration, they perish. Each hour spent in water restores one level of Fatigue.
Scholar: as the edge with any one Knowledge bases skill of chose.
Homeworld: Mon Calamari
Languages: Basic and Mon Calamarian

Togruta: The Togruta are a humanoid race the developed from pack hunters on the high grass plains of Shili. Their distinctive horns and ‘head-tails’ allow them to detect movement at a short distance.

Agile: base Agility of a d6 and max starting of a d12+1
Loyal: as Minor Hindrance, to friends and family (pack)
Spatial Awareness: as Awareness Power (SPC pg. 23, 3 power points)
Homeworld: Shili
Languages: Basic and Togruti

Twi’lek: Ryloth is the only known source for the powerfully addictive spice Ryll, which means that although the Twi’leks’ industrial culture never achieved space travel on its own, there is no shortage of beings throughout the galaxy willing to bring them up to speed. The Twi’leks response to the high level of criminal attention their world receives is, unfortunately, to sell their own people into slavery in order to maintain control of the mines. Twi’leks are by nature highly adaptable, which aids their diplomatic relations with nearby worlds and trading partners.

Charmers: gain a free re-roll with Persuasion checks (stacks with Charisma Edge).
Low-Light Vision: no penalties in Dim and Dark illumination.
Secret Language: Lekku (sort of a secret head-tail sign language)
Homeworld: Ryloth
Languages: Basic, Ryl and Lekku (only Twi’lik can learn it)

Wookiee: Shaggy giants from arboreal Kashyyk, these tree dwellers make a startling sight for any unsuspecting space traveler. Despite their savage appearance, Wookiee society honors loyalty and bravery above all else. In addition, Wookies are infamous for their tempers, and can fly into berserker rages when angered. Their home world is enveloped in immense and ancient forests so vast that a layered ecosystem has evolved, growing more dangerous the closer one gets to the bottom. Wookies dwell primarily near the top, although they venture lower to hunt.

Big (Minor): armor and clothing not made for their size imposes a -2 penalty for most skills. Armor and clothing (and protective gear) costs twice as much for their size.
Climbing Claws: can re-roll Athletic checks for climbing so long as it was not a Critical Fumble.
Limited Speech (Minor): cannot speak Basic (understand only). Others cannot normally learn to speak their language either, only understand it.
Mean: as Minor Hindrance.
Size +1 plus extra Toughness: base Toughness +1 from Size and additional +1 to Toughness (base +2)

Homeworld: Kashyyk
Languages: Basic (understand only) and Shyriiwook

Droid characters represent the highest level of artificial intelligence. Use the following rules when creating a Droid character.

Chassis (Minor): Droids cannot wear external armor.
Construct: +2 shaken rolls, suffer no addition damage from called shots, do not suffer fatigue penalty, ignores one wound penalty, immunity to disease and poisons; cannot heal/must be repaired, subject to shut down and control, see below.
Force Blind: see new Minor Hindrance
Ion Vulnerability: full damage from Ion weapons, but no damage from weapon set to ‘Stun’.
Maintenance: requires one hour recharge (hocked up to a power source; inactive) every 3 days. Otherwise suffer one level of Fatigue each day without energy source until Incapacitated. Each hour hooked up to an energy source removes one level of this source of Fatigue. This cannot kill it.
Outsider: as Major Hindrance. Suffer -2 with Persuasion with non-Droids and are considered property with no civil rights.
Vow: as Major Hindrance. Droids are designed with a particular purpose. Player characters have a broad directive such as servicing a particular role within a group or government agency.


Then add Droid’s DEGREE type (Choice one of the following)…

1st DEGREE (Technical and Medical): base skill Academics d6 (and maximum starting of a d12+1) plus one of the following skills at d6 (and max starting of d12+1 with that skill) – Battle, Drive, Electronics, Hacking, Healing, Piloting, Repair, Research or Science. Attribute Penalty: suffer a -1 to Agility based tests (not linked skills).
2nd DEGREE (Mechanic or Astromech): add either Mr. Fix It edge and base skill Repair d6 (maximum starting of d12+1); or Navigation Databank droid edge and base skill Science d6 (maximum starting of d12+1).

No Thumbs [Minor]: The droid has claws, pincers or something similar, making it harder to handle tools and weapons made for normal hands. It applies a -2 penalty to using such items.
No Vocabulator [Minor]: cannot speak Basic (understand only). Others cannot normally learn to speak in Basic either, only understand it. Can speak in Binary out loud.
Weak Battery [Minor]: the droid has a faulty battery that last less than normal ones. It needs to recharge every day for one hour instead of every three days.

NEW HINDRANCES

Force Blind [Minor]: While you are never affected by mind-controlling powers of the Force (puppet, mind reading, suggestion) you also can never benefit from any Force power (boost, heal, etc.). Your character can still be affected by damaging powers of the Force (bolt, burst, etc.). You may not take Arcane Background, Arcane Resistance or any Power edges.

Tainted [Major] (must have the Force Arcane Background/Gifted edge): The Dark Side has more than a foothold in this character’s soul. You start with one Dark Side Point and you suffer a -2 against Fear effects unless you give into your fear and anger (thus gaining a Dark Side Point).

Vibro-Axe: Damage: Str+d12; AP: 4; Str Min: d10; Wt.: 8lbs; NOTES: Great axe when unpowered. Parry -1 and 2-Handed; Cost: -2 (L)

All advanced melee weapons but the lightsaber require power cells to operate. For non Lightsabers these last about an hour of continual use before requiring recharge or replacement. Generally cost +2 for each, +0 for a set of 5 and weight ½lb each. Lightsaber crystals last for years.

(*) Lightsabers: the Lightsaber is not mass produced, but rather constructed by each Jedi (or Sith) as part of their training. The art of constructing a lightsaber is carefully guarded by both Orders, although one could be constructed from generic parts purchasable on most planets for M price depending on the locale and availability. This price includes all but the most important part: the crystal. The lightsaber crystal affects the length and color of the blade, and rare ones may provide other bonuses as well (GM’s call). The modern Jedi usually goes on a quest to find his first. A Jedi or Sith may construct several lightsabers over the course of a lifetime, each reflecting changes in his personal taste and abilities. Construction of a lightsaber requires at least Veteran Rank and usually takes around a month of dedicated work once all of the parts have been assembled, although it could be completed in less time if the builder is very good. This requires a Focus skill check with a month work. A -1 to the check can shave off a week of time, -2 for only requires two weeks or -4 to make the check in just one weeks’ time. Constructing one’s own lightsaber grants a +1 bonus to Fighting but only for you.

CYBERNETS

Found in SFC pg. 30-31 but needs to be updated to Adventure Edition rules and the Wealth check, Strain works as found there. The [x] is how many times that piece of cybernetics maybe taken. It generally requires an hour of surgery in a hospital per Strain Point and at least a week of rest per Strain Point (or 24 hours in a Bacta Tank who emerges with two levels of Fatigue). The surgery cost -2 for up to 3 Strain, -4 up to 5 Strain, -5 for 6 more Strain.

VEHICLES

Created using the Science Fiction Companion but some of the terminality has changed to better reflect the Star Wars feel. Otherwise they retain the same in-game affect as listed under Vehicles in SWA pg. 81-82. I am not going to post all the rules here and I am only posting a few examples. We can expand on it as the game goes on.

Hyperdrive Engines (Starships Size 12+ and larger may include a backup drive) - are what allows travel between the stars. Hyperdrive technology has been around since the time of the Infinite Empire, and possibly before. As civilization grows and wanes in the galaxy, so does the general level of technological know-how, which affects how efficient a Hyperdrive engine will be. For game effects a standard Hyperdrive engine takes around 24 hours (48 hours in the Knights of the Old Republic setting) to travel from one star system to another within the same region. Each region traveled is another 24 (48) hours of travel. The GM can reduce this for planets that are closer or on well-established Hyperspace lanes.
Plotting a course through Hyperspace also requires a Science skill check -1 per “Region” (Within the Outer Rim, it’s an additional -1 and Wild Space is -2). For example traveling from a Core Worlds planet to the Deep Core is a -2 to the check (-1 for a nearby region -1 for the Deep Core). Not following an established Hyperspace route is an additional -2 to check. Plotting a course generally takes 1d6 minutes. You can reduce the time to 1d6 rounds for a -2 to the check or increase the time to one hour for +2 to the check.
  • A Slow Hyperdrive takes twice the standard time to travel the base distance. Slow drives use ½ the ship’s Size in energy for each 24 hours traveled.
  • A Standard Hyperdrive takes the base time to travel the base distance. Standard drives use the ship’s Size in energy for each 24 hours of travel.
  • A Fast Hyperdrive takes ½ the base time to travel the base distance. Fast drive use the ship’s Size time two in energy for each 24 hours of travel.
  • A Backup Hyperdrive takes ten times the base time to travel base distance. Backup drives use 1 energy per 24 hours of travel.
Force Fields – the vehicle includes energy shields that absorbs damage before the vehicle. A shield system can absorb the vehicle’s Size x10 points of damage before shutting down. Shields also have Threshold damage of Size x2 which is the max damage it can stop from any one attack. Shield can be purchased more than once, each time adding Size x10 to max damage a system can take for an additional ¼ Ship Size Mods. An action with a Repair skill check can restore ½ vehicle size in shield points. If the shields drop to 0 its takes a number of actions equal to ½ the vehicle’s size to make a Repair check at -2 to restore the vehicle’s size back in Shield points.
When applying multiple levels of shield only the maximum damage that can be absorbed is added.
The threshold remains the same.
Ion Weapons - ignore all Armor Points and Force Fields damage absorption points and every hit causes the shield to lose 10% of its maximum damage that it can absorb. Vehicles without shields (or disabled shields) suffer a -10% MPH for every hit that equals the target ships’ Toughness. Finally, Ion Cannon cause nonlethal damage to vehicles so the worst that can happens is that its’ disabled.
Shield and Speed can be restored separately with Repair skill checks and one minute of work times the vehicles Size modifier.
Smugglers Compartments – a compartment that can hold up to 50lbs x the vehicle Size in gear or even people (if big enough). Searches suffer a -4 to Notice and Electronic checks.
Tractor Beams - work as SFC but the range is (in space scale) 2/4/8.
Walker – as I am not 100% happy with Walkers from the SFC walker locomotion is added to standard vehicles. A two-legged Walker uses ¼ the vehicle’s Size in Mods. It also adds +10MPH to the Top Speed. A four-legged Walker uses ½ the vehicle’s Size in Mods. It also adds +1 to the vehicle’s Handling. A six-legged Walker uses ½ the vehicle’s Size in Mods. It reduces the base Top Speed by -10MPH but increases the vehicle’s Handling by +2.


SAMPLE VEHICLES

SURFACE VEHICLES

  • Note that these vehicles can use remaining Mods for cargo. Each mods holds 200lbs x Size.

Fast Landspeeder: Small, fast and popular repulsorlift vehicles, the fast speeder is limited to rising no more than a few meters above any surface. Able to comfortably seats two, or uncomfortably seat four, these vehicles are also popular with security forces for rapid response agents.

Medium Vehicle: Size 3; Handling: +1; Top Speed: 200 MPH; Toughness: 12 (3); Crew: 1+3; Cost: -4 (-2 used); Mods (+6 remaining*): Exposed Crew, Ground Repulsorlift (1), Speed 3 (3).

Speeder bikes: Also known as hover bikes, speeder bikes are open-air repulsorlift vehicles, usually carrying one or two passengers. Speeder bikes emphasize speed and maneuverability over conventional speeders and are popular with thrill-seeking teenagers and military scouts. A typical speeder bike had a maximum altitude of 30 feet and can thus maneuver deftly over very rough terrain. Some companies manufactured extras, like sidecars.

Light Vehicle: Size 2; Handling: +2; Top Speed: 200 mph; Toughness: 9 (2); Crew: 1+1; Cost: -3 (-2 used); Mods (+1 remaining): Exposed Crew, Ground Repulsorlift (1), Speed 3 (3).

Submersible: These small, commercial submersibles are common on every planet with large bodies of water. Used for everything from commuting to police patrol, they fill the same role as air and land speeders do, but underwater. Various manufacturers make dozens of different designs, but it is rare to see a submersible that was not manufactured on the world where it is used.

Large Vehicle: Size 4; Handling: +1; Top Speed: 40 MPH; Toughness: 15 (4); Crew: 1+5; Cost: -4; Mods (+8 remaining*): Amphibious (1), Speed 4 (4), Submersible (2), Watercraft.

AIR VEHICLES

Airspeeder: This light, unarmed airspeeder is a reliable and serviceable craft, popular with many. Capable of transporting four passengers and 500 pounds of cargo easily, many families use this speeder on a daily basis.

Medium Vehicle: Size 3; Handling: +1; Top Speed: 400 mph; Toughness: 12 (3); Crew: 1+3; Cost: -4; Mods (+3 remaining*): Repulsorlift Aircraft (2), Speed 4 (4).

MILITARY SURFACE VEHICLES

AT-RT: The All-Terrain Recon Transport was used by the Grand Army of the Republic by Clone Troopers of the Clone Wars. It carried one trooper in an ‘exposed’ cockpit and they were very fast and maneuverable even when compared to the later models of AT-STs. Armaments include a nose mounted repeating blaster cannon and an anti-infantry mortar launcher.

Medium vehicle: Size 3; Handling: +2; Top Speed: 80 mph; Toughness: 18 (7 heavy); Crew: 1; Cost: -6 (M); Mods (0 remaining): Armor 2 (2), Exposed Crew, Fixed Weapon Mount (3), Improved Handling 1 (1), Reduced Crew (+1), Reinforced Chassis 1 (1), Sensor Suite (1) (+4 Notice vs. sound, motion, strong chemicals, radiation, or electrical fields up to 1000 yards), Speed 2 (2), Targeting System (1).
Weapons: Forward Fixed Blaster Cannon – Range 300/600/1,200; Damage 3d10; AP-8; ROF 3; Heavy Weapon.
Forward fixed Mortar Launcher – Range: 150/250/350; Damage 3d8, Large Burst Template; AP-10; ROF 1; Ammo 10

Scout Speeder Bike: A highly maneuverable repulsorlift vehicle equipped with comlink jamming devices and armed with a forward blaster cannon, a scout speeder is a popular tool for reconnaissance and rapid battlefield transport. A typical model is capable of seating up to two people and has maximum altitude of 10 meters.

Light Vehicle: Size 2; Handling: +2; Top Speed: 200 mph; Toughness: 11 (2); Crew: 1+1; Cost: -5 (R); Mods (+0 remaining): Exposed Crew, Fixed Weapon (0), Ground Repulsorlift (1), Jammer System (Electronics skill check -4 to use comlink within 50”) (0), Reinforce Chassis 1 (1), Speed 3 (3).
Weapon: forward fix E-Web Blaster – Range 200/400/800; Damage 3d10; AP-8; ROF 3; Heavy Weapon.

MILITARY AIR VEHICLES

Cloud Car: Generally designed around a twin pod design, cloud cars were used for atmospheric defense and patrol operations. Each pod was equipped with a cockpit and a weapon mount that usually held a blaster cannon. Propelled by a combination of an ion engine and a standard repulsorlift, the engines were exposed to help prevent overheating.

Large Vehicle: Size 4; Handling: +0; Top Speed: 600 MPH; Toughness: 25 (12 heavy); Crew: 2; Cost: -7 (R); Mods (+2 remaining): Armor 4 (4), Reinforce Chassis 1 (1), Replsorlife Aircraft (2), Sensor Suite (1) (+4 Notice vs sound, motion, strong chemicals, radiation, or electrical fields up to 1000 yards), Speed 4 (4), Vacuum Sealed (1).
Weapon: forward fix twin linked Blaster cannon – Range 300/600/1,200; Damage 3d10+2; AP-8; ROF 3; Heavy Weapon. +1 to Shooting.

SAMPLE SPACECRAFT

Just a couple of examples of the more common ships of the Star Wars Movie Era. All Starship Armor is considered Heavy Armor and all weapons are considered Heavy Weapons automatically.

STAR FIGHTERS

Combat ships that are Size 6 and 8.

TIE Fighter: The TIE/ln starfighter, often referred to as the TIE Fighter, is the standard Imperial starfighter and is seen in massive numbers throughout the Galactic Civil War. The TIE fighter is used in large enough numbers to overwhelm the enemy defenses regardless of quality. The actual craft is solidly designed around twin ion engines and fire linked laser cannons, though the lack of integrated shielding or onboard life support has caused most pilots to regard it as a death trap.

Small Starship: Size 6; Handling: +4; Top Speed: 1,000 MPH (10 space scale); Toughness: 26 (11); Crew: 1; Energy: 25; Cost: -7 (M); Modifiers (+2 remaining): AMCM (1), Armor 3 (3), Atmospheric (3), Fixed Weapon Mount (1), Improved Handling 1 (2), No Internal Life Support (as Exposed Crew just for life support), Planetary Sensor Suite (1), Speed 6 (6), Targeting System (1).
Weapons: Twin linked forward fixed Laser Cannons – Range 600/1,200/2,400 (space 6/12/24), Damage 4d10+2, AP-15, ROF 1, +1 to Shooting.

X-Wing Series Fighter: The X-wing carries four fire-linked laser cannons and two proton torpedo launchers. Other warheads, such as concussion missiles, can be fired from the launchers with significant refit by ground crews but the overall versatility of the proton torpedo is ideally suited to the X-wing's varied mission profile. The good shielding provides some protection for the pilot and astromech navigator.

THE FORCE

To make things a little easier I am using the base Powers (spells) from Savage Worlds Adventure, but I am updating a number of them to fit to get to my idea of a Star Wars feel. First there is only one form of Arcane Background and that is a somewhat modified version of Gifted. The skill used to activate any Power is Focus (Spirits).

Note also that to better fit the Star Wars feel there are no real 'Rank' requirements for most powers. Padawans use Telekinesis early on, etc.


Arcane Background (Gifted) grants two starting powers that must be Detect/Conceal Arcane and Empathy. The character also starts with 15 Power Points. As per normal, new Powers grants 2 addition new powers but now Power Points grants +10 Power Points each time the Edge is taken. Whenever you use a Power you can add the Dark Side description. This either decreases the Power Point cost by 1 (minimum 1 point) or increases the damage of any damaging power by +1 step (i.e. 2d4 because 2d6, 3d6 become 3d8, etc. or with Smite damage is +3, +6 with a Raise), Using a Dark Side Power or adding the Dark Side description automatically adds one to the users Dark Side Point until they have been Consumed by Darkness (see Houserules).


All Force Sensitive character can spend a Benny to temperately gain any one Force Power, of its Rank or lower, by ‘Calling on the Force’. This power only lasts for the basic powers duration (i.e. if it is instant it only lasts one round, etc.). The character must qualify with all the Power’s requirements and power still uses the normal Power Point Cost.


POWERS NOT FOUND IN STAR WARS: not all the powers listed in SWA are a good fit for the setting. Disallowed include Burrowing, Damage Field, Fly, Growth/Shrinking, Insubstantial, Resurrection, Shape Change, Summon Allies, Wall Walker and Teleport.


LIGHT SIDE POWERS: as noted earlier some powers are considered Light Side Powers. Light Side powers include Banish (in Star Wars works against dark force ghosts and spirits and Sith zombies/undead), Beast Friends, Entangle, Healing, Relief and Slumber.


DARK SIDE POWERS: consequentially there are some powers that are always consider Dark Side Powers when used. Dark Side Power include Fear, Puppet and Zombie. Just knowing these powers does not cause any additional Dark Side Points but using them does.


LIMITED POWERS: the following Powers automatically have the Limitation of Range: Self (SWA pg. 150). Those Powers that include the * include the Aspect Limitation also. One cannot normally share powers in the Star Wars setting. This includes Arcane Protection, Darksight, Deflection, Disguise, Elemental Protection, Farsight, Intangibility, Protection, Speed*, Smite, Speak Language and Warrior’s Gift.

NEW POWER MODIFIERS AND CHANGES
