OOC - Ongoing Game Questions

XP question, You can take extra obligation for starting XP and you guys go ahead and start with an additional 50xp. That's roughly half what the characters have earned so far.

Gotcha! Normal starting credits?

Any restrictions on Careers or Specs? (Obviously, no Jedi Knights or whatever. I'm more curious about Age of Rebellion specs and Universal specs.)

No real restrictions. We're trying to keep it between Hope and Empire and out on the fringe. But there are 'behind the scenes' connections to the underworld and the rebellion. AoR would fit in just fine.

May I ask... Is there a specific type of character missing at the moment?
If the question is too much meta-gaming, let me know and disregard.

My character is a droid outlaw tech. With a scoundrel and a lawyer, that leaves plenty of character types left.

What kind of restrictions am I looking at in regard of race?
I saw in the character creator sent by crazybirdman that you could take a Kyuzo for example, in the guide you have sent @Esidrix they are not available.
Should I stick to the races in the guide?

@chrsch - It's probably 'safer' to stick to the core races. But I'm sure if it's in Oggdudes then it's pulled from a source book. The Kyuzo are probably balanced for play, so if that caught your interest, go for it.

My PC's almost ready. I'm reskinning a published species—using the stats for Pantoran to represent a Lutrillian. Hope that's OK. Going with a Colonist: Entrepreneur for career and spec.

@Esirix - What are we looking at for starting credits? My character's a face and doesn't need much in the way of armor or weapons, but I'm just wondering about what colonist and/or diplomat gear he might be able to afford for now.

Might be better if I follow your recommendation since it's my first rodeo.
Do I use the template from the drop down list in the character creation section?

@ChrSch - If I'm understanding your question, Yes, grab one of the Species templates from the Species list. It might help if you pick up a Character Sheet to print and use as reference while your creating the character.

Character Sheets The Edge of the Empire sheet would be the official one.

@SavageBob - go with starting credits + 5K. If you need something more expensive, let me know and we'll talk.

Oh, that is actually a good idea. But I was thinking about for creation on the character on the platform.
Do I use this one: .... Well, I wanted to add a screenshot, but I'm not sure how to add it :/

I meant on the my characters page>new character>system>Star Wars FFG?

Right, Yes that's the sheet to use for Gamers Plane.

Question about obligations: in the guide the obligation is recommended depending on party size. I think we are 6 now?
The guide mentions 5... does that mean I should choose 5 obligations?

Where should I put all this information:

• Wound Threshold: 9 + Brawn
• Strain Threshold: 9 + Willpower
• Starting Experience: 95 XP
• Special Abilities: Clawdites begin the game with one rank in Resilience. They still may not train Resilience above rank 2 during character creation.
• Changeling: As an action, a Clawdite may suffer 3 strain and make an Average () Resilience check. If the Clawdite succeeds, they change their appearance to match that of a silhouette 1 character whom they have observed before.
An observing character must make opposed Perception vs Deception check to detect that something is amiss with the impersonated character's likeness, mannerisms, or behavior. As always, the GM can add or for situational effects that might affect the check, such as if the Clawdite's garb does not match expectations or if the Clawdite has studied the impersonated individual's mannerisms closely.

??

If you chose the 'Star Wars FFG' character sheet, the wounds and strain should be in the upper right, XP you can spend on skills and the notes in the 'Notes' box near the bottom.

Okay, got it. Can you explain what exactly I do with the obligations?
And I guess Motivations work the same way?

Rolling pocket money...

My PC's more or less done. I still need to spell out his Obligation, so I'll do that tomorrow. Here's the skinny on him:



Burlock Mocredo made his name selling city-sized ground vehicles on his native Lutrillia. Driven by ambition and greed, the Lutrillian studied law in the Core and got hired at Kuat Drive Yards (KDY). Mocredo thrived in the high-stakes world of corporate law, earning the nickname "Creds" for identifying promising startups and acquiring them before they could pose a threat to KDY’s dominance.

But the Republic fell, and Creds saw anti-alien sentiment sweep KDY’s executive board. The corporation eventually fired all alien personnel in non-labor positions. Creds sued. He filed a class-action lawsuit, demanding severance pay—and won.

Sitting on a lucrative settlement but otherwise unemployed, Creds faced a crossroads. His tenaciousness and desire for recognition led him to the one group still willing to work with alien lawyers: the criminal underworld. Creds now leverages his legal acumen by making illicit activities appear legitimate under Imperial law.

That's a Disney+ show I would watch 😃

No kidding :) Better Comm Creds

@ChrSch - Obligation is some thing you 'owe' to someone else from Before your character started playing - It's a story/background piece that the Game Master can throw at you from time to time. At the base level (10), you don't gain anything for character creation and you can 'buy' it off later. If you feel the need for extra starting money or extra skill points, you can take more starting Obligation.
