CREDITS First and foremost, I have to thank the person who got me into D&D: my buddy, Ross. That
playgroup was not great, but it started my journey.
Second, I have to thank the original guinea pigs of this conversion: Drew, Eric, and Rickey. It was comically bad, but
we had fun with it.
Lastly, while I would love to say that I created everything in this conversion, that wouldn't be entirely true. The
following people deserve credit as well:

CREDITS 2
PREFACE This conversion has been a labor of love of mine starting three years ago. Back when I was a
edgling DM, I undertook the foolish e ort of attempting the
rst version of this overhaul, which was comically terrible. It featured four classes, which were just severely
bastardized versions of their standard counterparts.
This version, which I will call version 1.0 as an absolute snub to my rst attempt, I've been working on pretty
consistently for about nine consecutive months. I've had some help from various sources (who will be credited
accordingly), but for the most part this has come from mine own brain.
This book is designed to parallel the o cial D&D 5e Player's Handbook. It includes all the relevant chapters, reskinned
to t a Star Wars setting. The signi cant di erences will be listed below. WHAT'S DIFFERENT? While this
expansion utilizes the base rules of 5th Edition, there are signi cant di erences that will be illustrated here, broken
down by chapter. There is more information in each chapter, as per the SRD.
CHAPTER 1: STEP-BY-STEP CHARACTERS Reskinned for the setting, with no noteworthy di erences.
CHAPTER 2: SPECIES Races relabeled to species, all of which are brand new.
CHAPTER 3: CLASSES There are ten classes. Berserker, Monk, Operative, and Scout, are mostly reskinned,
with some variation to t the setting. Fighter utilizes my homebrew of baseline combat superiority. Engineer is based o
Arti cer, but extrapolated to be a full caster. Guardian is based o of Paladin, and Consular is based o of Sorcerer, with
changes to better t a force-wielder. Sentinel is a reimagining of a monk, but as a 2/3 caster. Scholar is a brand new
class.
CHAPTER 4: BACKGROUNDS For the most part, these are reskinned from 5E with one major di erence;
each background also o ers a choice of feat. This is a houserule I've been using for a while that has become quite
popular. You can very easily ignore this houserule if you're so inclined.
CHAPTER 5: EQUIPMENT Currency has been changed to credits, with roughly 1 gp = 10 cr. Magic items are
reskinned as enhanced or modi ed items, as appropriate, with rarities designed to mimic those of Star Wars: the Old
Republic. Equipment functions similarly, with the exception of the breakdown of weapons; rather than simply simple
and martial, they are broken down into blasters, lightsabers, and vibroweapons. This also utilizes a few houserules:
light, medium, and heavy shields with pro ciencies collapsed into the appropriate armor, new weapon features, etc.
CHAPTER 6: CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS New multiclassing requirements/pro ciencies, and with the
exception of the spell point variant (discussed in chapter 10), the only di erence is new or di erent feats.
CHAPTER 7: USING ABILITY SCORES Generally the same, with the exception of skills; Arcana, History,
and Religion have been collapsed into Lore, with Piloting and Technology being new skills.
CHAPTER 8: ADVENTURING Basically identical with some reskinning.
CHAPTER 9: COMBAT Basically identical with some reskinning with the exception of damage types.
Bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing are collapsed into kinetic damage. Ion is a new damage with improved e cacy against
constructs, droids, and electronics. Radiant has become energy damage. Thunder has become sonic damage.
CHAPTER 10: FORCE- AND TECH-CASTING There are two major changes in this section:
Spells are now called powers. Cantrips are now called at-will powers. My own interpretation and simpli cation of the spell
point variant from the DMG. Basically, casting a power at a given level costs that level + 1 points. Spellcasting has been
separated into force- and techcasting.
Forcecasting uses Wisdom/Charisma and Force Points, which regenerate on a long rest.
Techcasting uses Intelligence and Tech Points, which regenerate on a short rest.
While a character can have both force- and techcasting, they are kept completely separate. CHAPTERS 11 AND
12: FORCE AND TECH POWERS Chapter 11 has been broken down into two chapters to keep force and tech
powers separate.
MONSTER MANUAL There is a Monster Manual ready to use that you can
nd here.
STARSHIPS OF THE GALAXY There is a space expansion optional rule set called Starships of the Galaxy, in
honor of the Saga edition's book. You can nd it here. GOING FORWARD Additional content will be
released bi-weekly, on Tuesdays, for the foreseeable future.

Your character’s background background describes where he or she came from, his or her original occupation, and
the character’s place in the D&D world. Your DM might o er additional backgrounds beyond the ones included in the
Personality and Background section, and might be willing to work with you to craft a background that’s a more precise
t for your character concept.
A background gives your character a background feature (a general bene t) and pro ciency in two skills, and it might
also give you additional languages or pro ciency with certain kinds of tools. Record this information, along with the
personality information you develop, on your character sheet.
YOUR CHARACTER'S ABILITIES Take your character’s ability scores and species into account as you esh out his
or her appearance and personality. A very strong character with low Intelligence might think and behave very di
erently from a very smart character with low Strength.
For example, high Strength usually corresponds with a burly or athletic body, while a character with low Strength
might be scrawny or plump.
11 PART 1 | STEP-BY-STEP CHARACTERS Building Obi-Wan, Step 3 We will use the standard set of scores (15,
14, 13, 12, 10, 8) for Obi-Wan’s abilities. Obi-Wan is wise and hardy, so we'll put his highest score, 15, in Wisdom. His next-
highest, 14, goes in Constitution. He then applies the 13 to Strength (so he can wear heavy armor), the 12 to Charisma, the
10 to Intelligence and the 8 to Dexterity. After applying his special bene ts (increasing Obi-Wan’s Constitution by 2, and his
Strength and Wisdom by 1), Obi-Wan’s ability scores and modi ers look like this: Strength 14 (+2), Dexterity 8 (-1),
Constitution 16 (+3), Intelligence 10 (+0), Wisdom 16 (+3), Charisma 12 (+1).
We then ll in Obi-Wan’s nal hit points: 10 + his Constitution modi er of +3, for a total of 13 hit points.
VARIANT: CUSTOMIZING ABILITY SCORES At your Dungeon Master’s option, you can use this variant for
determining your ability scores. The method described here allows you to build a character with a set of ability scores
you choose individually.
You have 27 points to spend on your ability scores. The cost of each score is shown on the Ability Score Point Cost
table. For example, a score of 14 costs 7 points. Using this method, 15 is the highest ability score you can end up
with, before applying special increases. You can’t have a score lower than 8.
This method of determining ability scores enables you to create a set of three high numbers and three low ones (15,
15, 15, 8, 8, 8), a set of numbers that are above average and nearly equal (13, 13, 13, 12, 12, 12), or any set of
numbers between those extremes.

4. DESCRIBE YOUR CHARACTER Once you know the basic game aspects of your character, it’s time to
esh him or her out as a person. Your character needs a name. Spend a few minutes thinking about what he or she
looks like and how he or she behaves in general terms.
Using the information in the Personality Personality and and Background Background chapter, you can esh out your
character’s physical appearance and personality traits. Choose your character’s alignment alignment (the moral
compass that guides his or her decisions) and ideals ideals. The Personality Personality and and Background
Background chapter also helps you identify the things your character holds most dear, called bonds bonds, and the
aws aws that could one day undermine him or her.
A character with high Dexterity is probably lithe and slim, while a character with low Dexterity might be either gangly and
awkward or heavy and thick- ngered.
A character with high Constitution usually looks healthy, with bright eyes and abundant energy. A character with
low Constitution might be sickly or frail.
A character with high Intelligence might be highly inquisitive and studious, while a character with low Intelligence
might speak simply or easily forget details. A character with high Wisdom has good judgment, empathy, and a general
awareness of what’s going on. A character with low Wisdom might be absent-minded, foolhardy, or oblivious.
A character with high Charisma exudes con dence, which is usually mixed with a graceful or intimidating presence.
A character with a low Charisma might come across as abrasive, inarticulate, or timid.
Building Obi-Wan, Step 4 We then ll in some of Obi-Wan’s basic details: his name, his sex (male), his height and
weight, and his alignment (neutral light). His high Wisdom and Constitution represent a strong attunement to the Force and
disciplined physique, and his low Dexterity represent an unexceptional nimbleness.
Obi-Wan is of course a Jedi, so we choose the Jedi background. Make a note of the pro ciencies and special feature
this background gives. We choose the Empathic feat for Obi-Wan's background feat.
We know that Obi-Wan is both noble and shrewd, so we skip the personality traits suggested in the Jedi background,
noting instead that Obi-Wan is loyal to his friends and puts the will of the Jedi Council rst. We choose the ideal of aspiration
from the list in the background, noting that Obi-Wan desires to be worthy of Qui-Gon's tutelage.
Obi-Wan's bond is his adherence to the Jedi code. His aw stems from the bond with his padawan Anakin, as well as his
paramour Satine.
5. CHOOSE EQUIPMENT Your class and background determine your character’s starting equipment starting
equipment, including weapons, armor, and other adventuring gear. Record this equipment on your character sheet. All such
items are detailed in the Equipment section.
Instead of taking the gear given to you by your class and background, you can purchase your starting equipment.
You have a number of credits credits (cr) to spend based on your class, as shown in the Equipment section. Extensive lists
of equipment, with prices, also appear in that section.
Your Strength score limits the amount of gear you can carry. Try not to purchase equipment with a total weight (in
pounds) exceeding your Strength score times 15. "Using Ability Scores Using Ability Scores" has more information on
carrying capacity.
ARMOR CLASS Your Armor Class Armor Class (AC) represents how well your character avoids being wounded in battle.
Things that contribute to your AC include the armor you wear, the shield you carry, and your Dexterity modi er. Not all
characters wear armor or carry shields, however.
Without armor or a shield, your character’s AC equals 10 + his or her Dexterity modi er. If your character wears armor,
carries a shield, or both, calculate your AC using the rules in the Equipment section. Record your AC on your character
sheet.
Your character needs to be pro cient with armor and shields to wear and use them e ectively, and your armor and shield
pro ciencies are determined by your class. There are drawbacks to wearing armor or carrying a shield if you lack the
required pro ciency, as explained in the Equipment section.
Some powers and class features give you a di erent way to calculate your AC. If you have multiple features that give
you di erent ways to calculate your AC, you choose which one to use.
WEAPONS For each weapon your character wields, calculate the modi er you use when you attack with the weapon and
the damage you deal when you hit.
When you make an attack with a weapon, you roll a d20 and add your pro ciency bonus (but only if you are pro cient
with the weapon) and the appropriate ability modi er.
For attacks with melee weapons melee weapons, use your Strength modi er for attack and damage rolls. A weapon that has the
nesse property, such as a vibrorapier, can use your Dexterity modi er instead. For attacks with ranged weapons ranged
weapons, use your Dexterity modi er for attack and damage rolls. A weapon that has the thrown property, such as a vibrodagger,
can use your Strength modi er instead.
Building Obi-Wan, Step 5 We now write down the starting equipment from the guardian class and the Jedi
background. His starting equipment includes light battle armor and a medium shield, giving him an Armor Class of 14.
For Obi-Wan’s weapon, we choose a lightsaber. His lightsaber is a melee weapon, so Obi-Wan uses his Strength modi er for
his attacks and damage. His attack bonus is his Strength modi er (+2) plus his pro ciency bonus (+2), for a total of +4. The
lightsaber deals 1d8 energy damage, and Obi-Wan adds his Strength modi er to the damage when he hits, for a total of 1d8+2
energy damage.
PART 1 | STEP-BY-STEP CHARACTERS 12
6. COME TOGETHER Most Star Wars characters don’t work alone. Each character plays a role within a party party, a
group of adventurers working together for a common purpose. Teamwork and cooperation greatly improve your party’s
chances to survive the many perils in the worlds of Star Wars. Talk to your fellow players and your DM to decide whether
your characters know one another, how they met, and what sorts of quests the group might undertake.
BEYOND 1ST LEVEL As your character goes on adventures and overcomes challenges, he or she gains experience,
represented by experience points. A character who reaches a speci ed experience point total advances in capability. This
advancement is called gaining a level.
CLASS FEATURES AND HIT DICE When your character gains a level, his or her class often grants additional features, as
detailed in the class description. Some of these features allow you to increase your ability scores, either increasing two
scores by 1 each or increasing one score by 2. You can’t increase an ability score above 20. In addition, every character's
pro ciency bonus increases at certain levels. Each time you gain a level, you gain 1 additional Hit Die. Roll that Hit Die, add
your Constitution modi er to the roll, and add the total to your hit point maximum. Alternatively, you can use the xed value
shown in your class entry, which is the average result of the die roll (rounded up).
When your Constitution modi er increases by 1, your hit point maximum increases by 1 for each level you have
attained. For example, if your 7th-level soldier has a Constitution score of 17, when he reaches 8th level, he increases his
Constitution score from 17 to 18, thus increasing his Constitution modi er from +3 to +4. His hit point maximum then
increases by 8.
XP AND PROFICIENCY BONUS PROGRESSION The Character Advancement table summarizes the XP you need to
advance in levels from level 1 through level 20, and the pro ciency bonus for a character of that level. Consult the
information in your character's class description to see what other improvements you gain at each level.

BIOLOGY AND APPEARANCE Bith are craniopods with pale pink, yellow, or green skin, large heads, large
lidless eyes, toeless feet, and long ngers. Their thumb and small nger were both fully opposable. The Bith's internal
systems are di erent from most humanoids, as the Bith have only one lung, and exhale through their skin. Bith also
lack a proper nose, instead having highly sensitive olfactory organs hidden in the skin- aps of their cheeks.
The other Bith senses are also acute. Bith can sense the tonal qualities of sound as well as other species sensed
colors. Their eyes, as big as a Menahuun's, can see microscopic details of nearby objects, but are extremely
nearsighted as a result. An interesting side e ect of their incredible sensors is the e ect of sonic grenades, or
screamers, on them. It is described as causing their heads to explode. Similarly, Bith have high manual dexterity
which helps them manipulate ne tools, though their physical prowess with gross motor skills was only average.
SOCIETY AND CULTURE Bith are one of the galaxy's most ancient civilizations, with a history going back
millions of years. This antiquity garners respect in certain quarters, such as among the Gree, who gave them more
respect than other, "younger" species. Their society is highly regimented, with everything from mate selection to
political leadership controlled by sophisticated computer programs.

BIOLOGY AND APPEARANCE Bothans are a short species of furry humanoids. Bothans are covered in fur
which shifted in response to their emotional state by way of gentle ripplings. It is this trait, named Wrendui, that
betrays them when members of their kind intend to be duplicitous in their dealings with others. They possess tapered
pointed ears, and both males and females were known to sport beards. Bothans are able to interbreed with the other
species, though it is rare that they do so. Such hybrids somewhat resembled baseline humans with haunches,
hooves, fur, pointed ears and a long tail.
SOCIETY AND CULTURE Bothan culture is guided by the philosophy and principles from the ancient text
known as The Way, written by Golm Fervse'dra. In this "Bothan Way", the pursuit of power and in uence is
paramount. Thus, individual Bothans put their own political and economic success above all other concerns, and as a
species, Bothans put their own advancement ahead of other intergalactic interests. The volume of backstabbing,
subtle character assassination and political maneuvering in Bothan society is dizzying, and results in many species
stereotyping Bothans as untrustworthy. In fact, most Bothans are habitually paranoid, believing that anyone who's not
working with them, is working against them. In times of crisis, the focus of Bothan society shifts to a survivalist state
known as "ar'krai". When engaged in ar'krai, all t Bothans volunteer to defend their species from impending
extinction.

BIOLOGY AND APPEARANCE The Chiss are a near-Human species distinguished by their blue skin and
glowing red eyes. Genetic analysis indicate that they are an o shoot of humanity, and it is believed that moving
underground led to a divergence between them and baseline Humans. Their blue skin, jet black hair and red eyes
generally command attention; these features make them physically striking and instantly recognizable.
SOCIETY AND CULTURE Chiss society is highly structured and ordered with the rule of law being enforced by
a group of four a liations known as the Ruling Families: the Csapla, Nuruodo, Inrokini and Sabosen. These are not
biological family groupings but instead di erent branches of their government. Every Chiss claims a liation to one of
the four families, as determined by both tradition and place of birth. The family names are more of a cultural holdover;
the bloodlines had grown so co-meddled that any Chiss could claim a liation to any of the ruling families. In spite of
the outward impression of calm and order that the Chiss like to project to outsiders, there were evidently tensions
within the Families; political assassinations are a real part of Chiss political life for the Ruling Families.
NAMES A Chiss true-name has 3 parts, each separated by an apostrophe. The rst part is their family name, the
second part is their root name, and the third part is their occupation. Chiss rarely share their true-name with non-
Chiss, and usually go by their root name. Male and female names do not signi cantly deviate. Names. Names.

BIOLOGY AND APPEARENCE The Duros are humanoids with smooth blue-green skin, red eyes, lipless
mouths, long thin noseless faces and green blood. Olfactory organs beneath their eyes are responsible for their
sense of smell. Both females and males are bald, though both genders are easily distinguished. Their large red
goggle-like eyes have slit pupils. Duros females laid eggs as they are descended from ancient reptiles, and they are
born in a larval grub stage. Unlike similar species, the Duros take care of their o spring from birth.
SOCIETY AND CULTURE Their home planet Duro is primarily uninhabited due to massive pollution on the
world over time. Instead, it is covered with automated farms for food production. The Duros live in twenty orbital
space cities above the planet.
The Duros also established a vast, grand starship construction industry in the Duro system. The Duros set up their
government around a consortium of starship construction corporations, with all important political decisions made by
the stockholders of the corporations. This meant that any Duros that held stock in a company could participate in the
administration of the system.
With their strong memories, some Duros also choose to become extraordinary storytellers, renowned galaxy-wide for
their ability to learn a wide range of narratives by heart, and perform them all with stunning accuracy.

BIOLOGY AND APPEARANCE Humans are an intelligent species that originated on Coruscant, but can be
found on many other planets across the galaxy, including Naboo, Tatooine, and Alderaan. They come in two sexes,
male and female, and give birth to live young. They are bipedal beings with a bilateral symmetry, having a front and a
back end, as well as an upside and downside. Their bodies are comprised of a torso with a head and four limbs
attached to it. The upper limbs, or arms, end in hands which had ve ngers each; the lower ones, called legs, end in
feet. The human ngers have multiple points of articulation, and one of them is an opposable thumb that allowed for ne
manipulation. Finally, they have one head perched atop their torso. Many other species, including Twi'leks, Mon
Calamari, or Zabraks, are referred to as "humanoids" because of their structural resemblance to humans.
SOCIETY AND CULTURE Humans can occupy a variety of employs, from politicians to bounty hunters, swoop
racers, smugglers, or even a farmer. There exist many planetary groups of humans with their own cultures, such as
the Alderaanians or the Pamarthens. Humans are the most populous species in the Galaxy.

BIOLOGY AND APPEARANCE Jawas are easily identi able by their traditional brown hooded robes, though it
is not unheard of for them to wear other colors. Other notable features included their glowing yellow eyes, small
stature and high pitched, quickly spoken language called Jawaese. Underneath their robes, Jawas appear to be
gaunt, rodent-like creatures, with shrunken faces and yellow eyes.
SOCIETY AND CULTURE Jawas are a communal, compulsive scavenger species who spend most of their life
devoted to scavenging the deserts of Tatooine in search of any scrap metal, droid or mechanical part left behind from
millennia of star travel and technological advancement. Most non-Jawas regard the Jawas as scavengers and
thieves, a description that most Jawas actually nd pleasing.
The Jawa's uno cial motto is not to look for uses in a salvaged item, but rather to imagine someone else who
might nd a use for it. This is evidenced in their endless search for wares with which to trade with almost any being
Jawas encounter. They have a kind of instinctive feel for machinery and electronics, notorious for knowing how to get
a piece of equipment functioning just well enough to sell.

BIOLOGY AND APPEARENCE Due to Dorin having a unique atmosphere composed of helium and a gas
unique to their world, the Kel Dors are forced to wear an antiox breath mask and protective goggles whenever in
atmospheres of a di erent composition. Without their protective goggles, Kel Dors were considered e ectively blind
when away from Dorin. They were also able to survive in the vacuum of space for a short time, though it was
unknown exactly how long they could withstand it.
The Kel Dors also have heightened re exes, a result of the extrasensory organs in their heads. They are typically
quick and wise.
SOCIETY AND CULTURE Kel Dors are noted for their simple approach to justice, and they typically see moral
issues in black and white. On the one hand, the Kel Dor are noted for their hospitality; they would never turn away a
stranger in need. Yet, Kel Dors are not averse to taking the law into their own hands, and have no compunctions
about putting to death a thief who was merely stealing to feed himself.

males by their more prominent chest areas.
SOCIETY AND CULTURE The Mon Calamari have developed a very advanced and civilized culture. Their art,
music, literature, and science show a creativity surpassed by few in the galaxy. Mon Calamari literature depicts stars
as islands in a galactic sea, showing a passionate longing to explore space and discover other civilizations. Mon
Calamari are both soft-spoken and gentle, slow to anger, and have the remarkable ability to maintain their
concentration without being distracted by emotional responses. They are both inquisitive and creative, and have a

BIOLOGY AND APPEARANCE Sith are a proud and violent species of humanoids that evolved on Korriban, a
planet within the Horuset system in an isolated Outer Rim region called the Stygian Caldera. Sith have a larger than
average number of individuals with potential to use the Force in their species, so high in fact that the entire species
was considered strongly Force-sensitive.
Sith Purebloods are characterized by their expressive facial appendages, bone spurs, cranial horns, and predatory
gaze.
SOCIETY AND CULTURE Sith culture is a rigid and strati ed caste-based society. For the Sith, war and
violence are just as much a part of the natural order of life as peace or serenity. Though they are in an almost
constant state of war, their civilization is quite sophisticated; they see these acts not as cruel or barbaric, but simply
basic aspects of existence. Their constant warring led to a dwindling of the population on their original homeworld of
Korriban as well as cultivated an intensely xenophobic society.
NAMES Sith Pureblood names are not conventional. They are often named for virtues in the Sith tongue. Sith rarely
share surnames, since they do not value family ties. When a Sith Pureblood achieves a success or victory, they often
change their name to match their perceived newfound status. Since force sensitivity is common in Sith Purebloods,
and their culture is built around strength, most Sith are called simply "My Lord," or some other epithet, by their
underlings.

language is heavily in uenced by Basic, but also incorporates some native idioms, which caused Basic- speaking
Togruta to use seemingly strange expressions.
25
BIOLOGY AND APPEARENCE Togruta have rusty skin tones ranging in hue from blue to red to green, with
white pigmentation on their faces, greyish lips, and white stripes adorn various parts of their bodies. The pattern of
stripes varies from individual to individual. This red and white pattern was a phenotype left over from their ancestor's
camou age that helped them to blend in with Shili's natural surroundings.
Their heads bear two montrals, with three to four head-tails, whose stripes were darker than those of the montrals.
Togruta have the ability to sense the proximity and movement of physical objects around them by means of their
hollow montrals, which detect space ultrasonically. Young Togrutas' montrals and posterior head-tail do not fully grow
until adolescence, when their montrals curve and their nal head-tail grows to the length of their other head-tails.
SOCIETY AND CULTURE Togruta have a strong sense of unity and togetherness. On their native homeworld
of Shili, they rely on each other and band together to take a stand against the massive monsters that hunt them. The
creatures of Shili most often attack in groups, which was even more reason for the native Togruta to work together.
While most of Shili is covered in the scrublands where the Togruta hunt their herbivorous prey, the Togruta live in
small communities in the forest valleys.

BIOLOGY AND APPEARANCE Trandoshans are a large, bipedal sentient species, with scaly skin which was
shed roughly once every standard year and was thought to be very durable. Cold-blooded reptiles, Trandoshans had
two super-sensitive varied color eyes with horizontal black pupils, which could see far into the infrared range. Each of
their four limbs ends in three razor sharp claws. These are perfect for combat, but did not grant them manual
dexterity, making a Trandoshan's nger movements somewhat clumsy and awkward.
SOCIETY AND CULTURE Trandoshans worship their goddess, the Scorekeeper, whom they would appease
through acts which increased their Jagannath points. This is done by living a lifestyle which was, by non-Trandoshan
standards, overtly aggressive, leading many Trandoshans to become bounty hunters, mercenaries, or slavers.
Trandoshans especially prize Wookiee pelts, which consequently play a large part in earning Jagannath points-
capturing the pelts of particularly infamous Wookiees would give the hunter a large increase in Jagganath points. To
be shamed or captured during a hunt would zero one's Jagganath points-e ectively making their life forfeit in the eyes
of the Scorekeeper. They could, however, win all those points back by killing the one who zeroed their score.
NAMES Trandoshan names are quite harsh and contain a lot of elongated sounds, as well as a lot of s's. Di
erences between male and female names are often very subtle, but there is a higher chance for female names to
contain softer sounds.

BIOLOGY AND APPEARENCE Twi'leks are usually thin, although corpulent individuals were known to exist.
Twi'leks are omnivores; this diet is essential given that food is scarce on their homeworld, Ryloth. Twi'leks possess
multiple stomachs, an unusual trait that enables them to eat almost any food. When traveling o their homeworld,
Twi'leks rarely refused food, which frequently leads to obesity among starfarers. Twi'lek society also associates
obesity as a sign of a uence and success.
SOCIETY AND CULTURE The natural grace and exotic beauty of the female Twi'leks make them a popular
target among slave traders. Slavery is the main currency of Ryloth. Some see it as a chance to make money by
kidnapping or selling orphaned children, while others see slavery as a way of saving children from growing up in
Ryloth's harsh environment. A number of Twi'leks believe that slavery is an e cient way to proliferate their species
and preserve their culture, as the Twi'leks lack their own means of inter-planetary travel. Regardless of how it came
about, many Twi'leks live as slaves or entertainers and are considered status symbols, especially the females of rarer
skin hues. Twi'leks that manage to escape from captivity usually turned to a life of thievery or prostitution, with both
genders making use of their powers of seduction.
NAMES Twi'lek names combine their rst name and a clan name into a single name, rather than having a separate
surname.

BIOLOGY AND APPEARANCE Wookiees are a tall species of furry giants from the planet Kashyyyk, who can
grow to a height of over eight feet. They are covered from head to toe in a thick, shaggy coat of hair with water-
shedding properties that notably came in shades of brown, black, gray, and white. The species has two sexes, female
and male. The latter grows long beards in adult life. Wookiee eye colors are usually blue, green, yellow, golden,
brown, or red.
SOCIETY AND CULTURE Wookiees greatly value honor and loyalty. Therefore, their notion of "family"
encompassed much more than just blood ties. A part of that most sacred tradition was the social institution of life
debt: when a Wookiee's life was saved by someone else, regardless of the species, they would frequently devote
themselves to a lifetime of service to their savior and their family. Through the mechanism of the life debt, the People
of the Trees used to develop unbreakable bonds with their boon companions and true friends, forming a "honor
family."
NAMES Wookiee names are diverse; some names are simple and short while others are long and complicated.
The majority of names often have softer big sounds and more melodic tones to them. Since o worlders have trouble
using Wookiees' real names, they often adopt simpler nicknames to go by.

BIOLOGY AND APPEARANCE Zabrak are Near-Human, but have a number of signi cant physical
characteristics that set them apart from baseline Humanity. The most striking of these are a series of vestigial horns
that crown the heads of both males and females. These horns grow at puberty in varying patterns and signi ed that
their rite of passage is drawing near.
In addition to their horns, another of the traits that make Zabrak instantly recognizable are their facial tattoos, which
are made up of thin lines received during their rite of passage. These could symbolize many things, including but not
limited to family lineage, place of birth, or even a design that re ected their individual personalities.
Lastly, Zabraks possess a second heart.
SOCIETY AND CULTURE Zabrak are often seen by most other species as being single-minded, an
observation that is not terribly incorrect. This single-minded determination comes from the fact that they are a species
with a strong sense of self-assuredness, con dent that they are able to accomplish any task that they set out to do.
However, this does not lead a Zabrak to develop a sense of prideful superiority towards others. Though it is not
uncommon to see competition between colonies, this is not seen as a negative. The Zabraks believe that the various
experiences of the di erent colonies only serve to add to the species's overall value throughout the galaxy.
NAMES Zabrak names are usually derived from the animals living on their planet. Zabraks don't use surnames.

force energy. When you end your rage early as an action, all
creatures within 15 feet of you must make a Dexterity saving
throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 1d6 force damage
for each round you've spent in rage, or half as much on a
successful save.

PART 1 | CLASSES
FORCECASTING In your meditations on the force, you have learned powers, fragments of knowledge that imbue you
with an abiding force ability. See chapter 10 for the general rules of forcecasting and chapter 11 for the force powers list.
FORCE POWERS KNOWN You learn 8 force powers of your choice, and you learn more at higher levels, as shown in the
Force Powers Known column of the Consular class table. You may not learn a force power of a level higher than your Max
Power Level, and you may learn a force power at the same time you learn its prerequisite.
FORCE POINTS You have a number of force points equal to your consular level x 4, and you earn more at higher levels,
as shown in the Force Points column of the Consular class table. You use these force points to cast force powers. You
regain all expended force points when you
nish a long rest.
MAX POWER LEVEL Many force powers can be overpowered, consuming more force points to create a greater e ect.
You can overpower these abilities to a maximum level, which increases at higher levels, as shown in the Max Power Level
column of the Consular class table.
You may only cast force powers at 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th-level once. You regain the ability to do so after a short or
long rest.
FORCECASTING ABILITY Your forcecasting ability varies based on the alignment of the powers you cast. You use your
Wisdom for light side powers, Charisma for dark side powers, and Wisdom or Charisma for universal powers (your choice).
You use this ability score modi er whenever a power refers to your forcecasting ability. In addition, you use this ability score
modi er when setting the saving throw DC for a force power you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Force save DC Force save DC = 8 + your pro ciency bonus + your forcecasting ability modi er
Force attack modi er Force attack modi er = your pro ciency bonus + your forcecasting ability modi er
FORCE RECOVERY Also at 1st level, you have learned to regain some of your energy by brie y meditating. When you
nish a short rest, you can regain a number of force points equal to your Wisdom or Charisma modi er (your choice) + half
your consular level, rounded down. Once you've used this feature, you must complete a long rest before you can use it
again.
FORCE-EMPOWERED CASTING At 2nd level, you gain the ability to twist your powers to suit your needs. When
you cast a force power, you can expend additional force points to modify the power. You gain two of the following
Empowerment options of your choice. You gain another one at 10th and 17th level.
You can use only one Empowerment option on a power when you cast it, unless otherwise noted.
CAREFUL POWER When you cast a power that forces other creatures to make a saving throw, you can protect some of
those creatures from the power’s full force. To do so, you spend 1 additional force point and choose a number of those
creatures up to your Wisdom or Charisma modi er (your choice, minimum of one). A chosen creature automatically
succeeds on its saving throw against the power.
DISTANT POWER When you cast a power that has a range of 5 feet or greater, you can spend 1 additional force point
to double the range of the power.
When you cast a power that has a range of touch, you can spend 1 additional force point to make the range of the power
30 feet.
EXTENDED POWER When you cast a power that has a duration of 1 minute or longer, you can spend 1 additional force
point to double its duration, to a maximum duration of 24 hours.
HEIGHTENED POWER When you cast a power that forces a creature to make a saving throw to resist its e ects, you can
spend 3 additional force points to give one target of the power disadvantage on its rst saving throw made against the power.
IMPROVED POWER When you roll damage for a power, you can spend 1 additional force point to reroll a number of the
damage dice up to your Wisdom or Charisma modi er (your choice, minimum of one). You must use the new rolls.
You can use Improved Power even if you have already used a di erent Empowerment option during the casting of the
power.
LINGERING POWER When you cast a power that requires concentration to maintain you can choose to spend 3 additional
force points. If you do, when you lose concentration on the power, the power will not end until the end of your next turn.
PINPOINT POWER When you cast a power that allows you to force creatures in an area to make a saving throw you can
instead spend 1 force point and make a ranged force attack against a single target that would be in the range. On a hit the
target su ers the e ects as though they failed their saving throw.
PART 1 | CLASSES 40
QUICKENED POWER When you cast a power that has a casting time of 1 action, you can spend 2 additional force
points to change the casting time to 1 bonus action for this casting.
REFOCUSED POWER When you are forced to make a Constitution saving throw to maintain concentration on a power
you can use your reaction and spend 2 force points to automatically succeed on the saving throw. You can use this option
even if you have already used a di erent Empowerment option during the casting of the power.
TWINNED POWER When you cast a power that targets only one creature and doesn’t have a range of self, you can spend
a number of additional force points equal to the power’s level to target a second creature in range with the same power (1
force point if the power is at-will).
HIDDEN FORCE Also at 2nd level, you learn how to conceal the casting of your force powers. When you cast a force
power, you can choose to conceal the presence of that casting from others. A creature that sees you cast the force power
can make an Investigation (Intelligence) check against your universal force save DC. On a success, they can determine that
you used the Force in some way. If a creature has the force sight force power active, they automatically succeed on this
check. A creature that can not see you automatically fails this check.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom or Charisma modi er (your choice, a minimum of
once). You regain all expended uses when you nish a short or long rest.
CONSULAR TRADITION When you reach 3rd level, you choose a consular tradition, which is detailed at the end of
the class description. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 6th, 10th, 14th, and 18th level.
ABILITY SCORE IMPROVEMENT When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can
increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you
can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature. Alternatively, you can choose a feat (see Chapter 6 for a list of
feats).
ONE WITH THE FORCE At 20th level, your attunement to the Force is absolute. Your Wisdom or Charisma score
increases by 4, and your maximum for this score is now 24. Additionally, you gain mastery over a single force power, and
can cast it with little e ort. Choose one 3rd-level force power that you know as your signature power. You can cast it once at
3rd level without expending force points. When you do so, you can’t do so again until you nish a short or long rest.
If you want to cast it at a higher level,
you must expend force points as normal. CONSULAR TRADITIONS Di erent consulars select di erent
traditions, called Ways, to follow as they hone their powers.
41
WAY OF BALANCE There is serenity in balance, and no one knows this better than the consular. Those
consulars who follow the Way of Balance focus on utilizing the Force to equalize the battle eld. They bend the Force to
shield their allies and expose their foes.
FORCE BARRIER When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you can weave the Force around yourself for
protection. When you cast a universal power of 1st level or higher, you can simultaneously manipulate the Force to create
a barrier on yourself that lasts until you nish a long rest. The barrier has hit points equal to twice your consular level +
your Wisdom modi er. Your barrier can never have hit points greater than twice your consular level + your Wisdom modi er.
Whenever you take damage, the barrier takes the damage instead. If this damage reduces the barrier to 0 hit
points, you take any remaining damage.
While the barrier has 0 hit points, it can’t absorb damage, but its power remains. Whenever you cast a universal
power of 1st level or higher, the barrier regains a number of hit points equal to twice the level of the power.
Once you create the barrier, you can't create it again until you nish a long rest.
PROJECTED BARRIER At 6th level, when a creature that you can see within 30 feet of you takes damage, you can
use your reaction to cause your Force Barrier to absorb that damage. If this damage reduces the barrier to 0 hit points, the
warded creature takes any remaining damage.
AT-WILL BARRIER Beginning at 10th level, your at-will universal powers grant a small boost to your Force Barrier.
When you cast an at-will universal power, the barrier regains 1 hit point.
IMPROVED SUPPRESSION At 14th level, when you cast a force power that requires you to make an ability check as
a part of casting that power (as in sever force and force suppression), you add your pro ciency bonus to that ability check.
FORCE RESISTANCE Starting at 18th level, you have advantage on saving throws
against force powers. Addition- ally, you have resistance against the damage of force
powers.
PART 1 | CLASSES 42
WAY OF LIGHTNING Of all of the dark arts of the Force, little can match the spectacle and devastation of
Force lightning. Those consulars who follow the Way of Lightning summon intense discharges of pure Force energy,
overwhelming enemies with punishing damage from a distance, leaving them shaken and vulnerable -- if not dead.
STUNNING SHOCKS When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, any time a creature fails a saving throw against a
force power you cast that deals lightning damage, you can force them to become shocked until the end of their next turn.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modi er (a minimum of once). You regain all
expended uses when you nish a short or long rest.
POTENT LIGHTNING At 6th level you add your Charisma modi er to any damage you deal with force powers that
deal lightning damage.
SHOCKING REBUKE Beginning at 10th level, when a creature within 5 feet of you that you can see hits you with an
attack, you can use your reaction to cause the creature to make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature
takes 1d10 plus your consular level lightning damage and becomes shocked until the end of their next turn. On a successful
save, the creatures takes half as much damage and isn't shocked.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modi er (a minimum of once). You
regain all expended uses when you
nish a long rest.
ELECTRIC AFFINITY At 14th level, you gain resistance to lightning damage. Additionally, force powers you cast ignore
resistance to lightning damage.
UNLIMITED POWER Starting at 18th level, you can increase the power of your simpler lightning force powers. When
you cast a force power of 6th-level or lower that deals lightning damage, you can deal maximum damage with that power.
You can use this feature with no adverse e ects a number of times equal to your Charisma modi er (a minimum of
once). If you use this feature beyond this before you nish a long rest, you take 2d12 necrotic damage for each level of the
power, immediately after you cast it. Each time you use this feature again before nishing a long rest, the necrotic damage
per power level increases by 1d12. This damage can not be reduced in any way.
43
WAY OF THE SAGE The rejuvenating power of the Force is incredible, and the consular is the master of this
usage. Those consulars who follow the Way of the Sage assist with an array of Force healing powers that grant allies the
strength to continue through even the harshest of encounters. Separated from the heart of the fray, the sage can be an
unfailing warden to those in need.
DISCIPLE OF LIFE When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, your healing powers become more e ective. Whenever
you use a power of 1st level or higher to restore hit points to a creature, the creature regains additional hit points equal to 2
+ the power’s level.
PRESERVE LIFE At 6th level, as an action, you can channel the Force and evoke healing energy that restores a
number of hit points equal to ve times your consular level. Choose any creatures within 30 feet of you, and divide those hit
points among them. This feature can restore a creature to no more than half of its hit point maximum. This feature has no e
ect on droids or constructs.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modi er (a minimum of once). You regain all
expended uses when you nish a short or long rest.
BLESSED HEALER Beginning at 10th level, the healing powers you cast on others heal
you as well. When you cast a light side power that restores hit points to a creature other than
you, you regain hit points equal to 2 + the power’s level.
BLESSED BY THE FORCE At 14th level you gain the ability to overcome grievous injuries. As a bonus action when
you have fewer than half of your hit points remaining, you can regain a number of hit points equal to half your hit point
maximum.
Once you've used this feature, you can’t use it again until you nish a long rest.
SUPREME HEALING Starting at 18th level, when you would normally roll one or more dice to restore hit points with a
power, you instead use the highest number possible for each die. For example, instead of restoring 2d6 hit points to a
creature, you restore 12.

ENGINEER
FLINCHING OCCASIONALLY AS A BLASTER BOLT HITS THE NEARBY bulkhead, a Sullustan mechanic quickly solders a large wire. He
peers through his tinted goggles, ignoring the shouts of his ship captain as the enemy descends on the hanger. Finally he
shouts with pride as the repaired coupling powers up, causing the frigate to hum with energy. He gathers his tools and runs
into the ship moments before it nally takes o .
Inside, the human captain jumps into the cockpit. She nods to her droid co-pilot, who quickly begins charting a
course home. Before the calculations can be completed, enemy Star ghters scream in from the clouds. The pilot rolls the
ship, nimbly evading incoming
re. She reroutes the power to shields, leaving just enough for astronavigation. Just as the energy reserves near
depletion, the exosphere and stars beyond blur into streaks of light. In a ash, they warp to safety.
A Cerean o cer surveys the battle eld, looking for weaknesses. When he identi es a potential problem, he keys in a
quick combination in his wristpad. In a blink, a custom suit of armor assembles itself around him. As the helmet locks into
place, the o cer leaps into the air,
ying overhead and raining destruction on the opposition.
Every machine needs an engineer to run it, and a living crew is no di erent. Engineers are the experts and
professionals who rely on skill, bravery, and their tools to survive and keep others alive. While they do not claim to be ghters,
their mere presence can turn the tide of battle or simply keep operations running.
BEHIND THE CURTAIN While perhaps not as intimidating as a heavily-armored trooper, or as exotic as a lighsaber-
wielding guardian, engineers are no less vital to group dynamic. They are armorers and gunsmiths, electricians and
welders, or any other facet to be found in facilities across the galaxy. Their work, often unsung, is what keeps starships (and
their crew) intact.
UNFLAPPABLE It takes bravery for a soldier to enter a battle eld. It perhaps takes more for someone who is unarmed,
and untrained in combat, to do the same. Engineers put their lives on the line for a living, whether by choice or
acknowledging their plights as an occupational hazard. Whether they come from an elite training academy or learned their
talents surviving in the slums, they are no strangers to danger and con ict.
CREATING AN ENGINEER While creating your engineer character, consider what your primary skill set is and how
you use it. You could be a street-smart mechanic who taught yourself how to
x swoop bikes as a teenager. Perhaps you are the recent graduate of an esteemed medical college, or a rookie pilot in
the edgling Rebel Alliance. What is the number one skill you are known for? Why are you willing to enter battles when you
have no combat training? How do you view the more adventurous members of your group, and how do they see you and
your role?
QUICK BUILD You can make an engineer quickly by following these suggestions. First, make Intelligence your highest
ability score. Your next-highest score should be Constitution. Second, choose the guild artisan background.

PART 1 | CLASSES 46
TECHCASTING During your training you have derived powers from schematics with the aid of your wristpad. See
chapter 10 for the general rules of techcasting and chapter 12 for the tech powers list.
TECH POWERS KNOWN You learn 6 tech powers of your choice, and you learn more at higher levels, as shown in the
Tech Powers Known column of the Engineer class table. You may not learn a tech power of a level higher than your Max
Power Level.
TECH POINTS You have a number of tech points points equal to your engineer level x 2, and you earn more at higher
levels, as shown in the Tech Points column of the Engineer class table. You use these tech points to cast tech powers. You
regain all expended tech points when you
nish a short or long rest.
MAX POWER LEVEL Many tech powers can be overcharged, consuming more tech points to create a greater e ect. You
can overcharge these powers to a maximum level, which increases at higher levels, as shown in the Max Power Level
column of the Engineer class table.
You may only cast tech powers at 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th-level once. You regain the ability to do so after a short
or long rest.
TECHCASTING ABILITY Intelligence is your techcasting ability for your tech powers. You use your Intelligence
whenever a power refers to your techcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modi er when setting the saving
throw DC for a tech power you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Tech Tech save save DC DC = 8 + your pro ciency bonus + your Intelligence modi er
Tech Tech attack attack modi modi er er = your pro ciency bonus + your Intelligence modi er
TECHCASTING FOCUS You use a wristpad (found in chapter 5) as a techcasting focus for your tech powers.
POTENT APTITUDE Your technological experience lends you an uncommon insight that you can use to bolster your
allies. To do so, you use a bonus action on your turn to choose one creature other than yourself within 60 feet of you who
can hear you. That creature gains one Potent Aptitude die, a d6.
Once within the next 10 minutes, the creature can roll the die and add the number rolled to one ability check, attack
roll, or saving throw it makes. The creature can wait until after it rolls the d20 before deciding to use the Potent Aptitude die,
but must decide before the DM says whether the roll succeeds or fails. Once the Potent Aptitude die is rolled, it is lost. A
creature can have only one Potent Aptitude die at a time.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modi er (a minimum of once). You regain any
expended uses when you nish a long rest. Your Potent Aptitude die changes when you reach certain levels in this class.
The die becomes a d8 at 5th level, a d10 at 10th level, and a d12 at 15th level.
INFUSE ITEM At 2nd level, you gain the ability to temporarily enhance a weapon or armor. At the end of a long rest, you
can touch one unenhanced object that is a suit of armor or a simple or martial weapon. Until the end of your next long rest or
until you die, the object becomes an enhanced item, granting a +1 bonus to AC if it’s armor or a +1 bonus to attack and
damage rolls if it’s a weapon. Once you've used this feature, you can’t use it again until you nish a long rest.
TOOL UNDERSTANDING Starting at 3rd level, you have advantage on any ability check you make that uses any of
the tool pro ciencies you gain from this class.
ENGINEERING DISCIPLINE Also at 3rd level, you begin to focus on a speci c engineering discipline, which is
detailed at the end of the class description. Your discipline grants you features at 3rd level and again at 6th, 14th, and
18th level.
ABILITY SCORE IMPROVEMENT When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can
increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you
can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature. Alternatively, you can choose a feat (see Chapter 6 for a list of
feats).
QUICK THINKING Beginning when you reach 5th level, you regain all of your expended uses of Potent Aptitude when
you nish a short or long rest.

FIGHTER A TRANDOSHAN RUNS FRANTICALLY ACROSS ROOFTOPS, CONSTANTLY looking over his shoulder. As he prepares to
leap a gap, a blaster bolt hits him in the back and renders him unconscious. His blurry vision barely makes out the gure of a
masked woman who casually approaches, ready to collect her bounty.
With his muscular arms held wide, a grizzled-looking Wookiee grins to his bloodthirsty crowd. He
turns back to his arena opponent just in time to see the Besalisk take a swing. He ducks, punching the
four-armed
ghter in the gut. Two wild haymakers later, and he stands alone as the gladiatorial
champion.
Taking a deep breath, a Republic soldier looks out onto the war zone waging across the frozen
surface of Ilum. He grips his blaster ri e tightly then, with a nod to the dozen squad- mates beside him,
he charges onto the battle eld.
Fighters combine discipline with martial skills to become the best pure warriors in the galaxy. Fighters
can be stalwart defenders of those in need, cruel marauders, or brave adventurers. They ght for glory, honor,
to right wrongs, to gain power, to acquire wealth, or simple for the thrill of battle.
ALL IN A DAY'S WORK Many ghters see adventures, raids on enemy strongholds, and dangerous missions as
their jobs. Some want to defend those who can’t defend themselves while others seek to use their muscle to carve their
own place of importance in the galaxy. Fighters can take the form of guards, champions, bounty hunters, enforcers,
mercenaries, freedom
ghters, or simply armed explorers.
CODE RED Most ghters come to the profession after receiving at least some amount of formal training from a military
organization. Some attend formal academies; others are self-taught and well tested. A ghter may have taken up his
weapon to escape a mundane life while another may be following a proud family tradition. Whatever their origins, most
ghters share an unshakeable loyalty. Fighters follow orders with little hesitation, as failure can often mean death.
CREATING A FIGHTER While creating your ghter character, consider where your loyalties lie. You could be part of a
formal military, one of countless troopers ghting for your enterprise. Perhaps you are a gun-for-hire, traveling the galaxy in
search of your next gig. What weapons do you prefer and specialize in? Who or what do you ght for? Do you have
aspirations of a life beyond the battle eld, or have you been at war so long you know of nothing else?
QUICK BUILD You can make a ghter quickly by following these suggestions. First, make Strength or Dexterity your highest
ability modi er, depending on whether you want to focus on melee combat or on ranged weapons (or nesse weapons). Your
next-highest score should be Constitution. Second, choose the soldier background.
