Character Creation will be standard as in the book, Force and Destiny. Allowed species are all species from that book, Force and Destiny, plus the following: Duros (Age of Rebellion), Rodian (Edge of the Empire), and True Sith. Droids are not a viable species for this game, they will be allowed in future games.
Rules Mods: Every character in this game will have access to Lightsaber (Brawn) as a Career skill regardless of career and specialization due to the emphasis of that part of Sith Training. There will also be Background choices that will adjust some aspects of the character and starting Reputation which begins at 5, a measure of how well liked they are by faculty and students. The only allowed book is Force and Destiny. Listed below are the Backgrounds.
In the case of backgrounds, they cannot raise a starting skill above 2 as per normal rules. All non-humans have their reputation reduced by 1 expect True Sith, they have their reputation increased by 1.
