About this conversion
Star Wars: Age of Rebellion follows the same release format as Green Ronin’s Dragon Age RPG did, in that the first two “sets” only take characters up to level 10.
The only time “reloading” would apply is if a power pack runs out on a blaster, but those situations are few and far between and are often handled outside of combat.
Languages
This conversion also assumes familiarity with the AGE rules, and terms like Stunts, TN, Advanced Tests, Armor, Defense, and other AGE mechanical terms are used throughout the document without an explanation as to how they work.
For the purposes of simplicity, the language list in the game is limited. You can find the languages in the game by species, or under the Linguistics talent. Feel free to come up with other languages that you may feel are necessary for your game.
Ranged Weapons
Dragon Die
While Dragon Age combat is mostly a swords and melee weapons affair, the Galaxy Far, Far Away is ruled by blasters, which are obviously ranged weapons. Just like in Dragon Age, all ranged weapons in the game add Perception to damage, while the melee weapons like a Vibroblade add Strength. Dragon Age has two ranges, Long and Short. For this conversion, a Medium range has been added to the game, which imposes a -1 to the attack roll. Weapons have all of their ranges and damages listed in the Weapons Group Chart.
Stunts
All of the stunts in the game apply, except Rapid Reload, as blasters do not need reloading. The Lightning Attack stunt also ignores the “loaded missile weapon” requirement as well.
The Dragon Die has been renamed Force Die for this conversion. It works in the same exact way as in the Dragon Age RPG.
Starship Combat
As currently written, the section on starfighters isn’t exactly how I wish to present it. It’s the part of the game with which I’m struggling a little bit and still refining. In simple terms, run starship combat just like character-tocharacter combat. There is no “melee”, for obvious reasons, and I envision it being played out on a hex grid. Each hex being 3 dimensional, so ships can cross over each other’s hexes no problem. It’s wide open space. I’m going to add maneuvers to spice it up a bit, but I felt I could put the playtest out there without having to have them in it.
Lightsaber Duels
My intention is to make lightsaber duels special, and not just like if it any other combat in the game. The movies take the time to make duels stand out and I feel that no Star Wars RPG has tried to replicate that feel. I plan to add duel “maneuvers” and stunts that characters can pull off while dueling, but again, that hasn’t been written, so it didn’t make it unto the playtest document.
The Artwork
The artwork in this document has been taken from long out of print West End Games books. I feel that WEG’s old artwork captures the perfect feel for what I want from a Star Wars RPG.
Having said that, I didn’t ask for permission from any of the artists to use their work. When possible, I’ve left the credit on the artwork as it was in the WEG books. Artists like Mike Vilardi, Rob Caswell, David Deitrick, Karl Matrin, Allen Nunis and many others helped create the Star Wars Expanded Universe through their artwork for the d6 RPG, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention them and thank them for it. And finally, much like Dragon Age, I think this conversion would work best with four players and a GM, as more than that may slow down the pace of the game.
Character Creation
The rules for AGE character creation can be found on page 17 of the Dragon Age Player’s Guide Set 1. Making a Star Wars: Age of Rebellion character is very easy: 1. Create a concept. Who would you like to be? Perhaps like someone from the movies? 2. Determine abilities. These are your physical, mental, and force attributes. 3. Choose a species. Where are you from? Are you human or alien? 4. Choose a class. What do you do? You can be a soldier, a scoundrel or a diplomat. 5. Pick equipment. 6. Calculate defense and speed. Both these numbers will help keep you alive. 7. Pick a name. 8. Choose goals and character ties. Develop a personality and help answer “Why is this group together?” 9. Finally, determine if you are force sensitive or not. Once you make this choice, you cannot go back and change it.
Keep in mind that in Star Wars: Age of Rebellion, the “Magic” ability has been replaced by “Force”. While your character may not be force sensitive, remember what Obi Wan Kenobi said about the force, “It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us; it binds the galaxy together.” Having a Force ability score simulates this in the game. You may never increase this number as you progress in levels, or you may max it out if you choose to become a force user. Either way, every being in the galaxy is touched by the force, and everybody has the ability number. Whether or not you choose to learn about the force is ultimately up to you.
Species
Species in Star Wars: Age of Rebellion serve the same purpose as Backgrounds do in the Dragon Age RPG, they represent a character’s culture, and the way the species might see the larger universe around them. While the galaxy has millions of inhabited worlds and countless number of species populate them, the starting species in Star Wars: Age of Rebellion Set 1 are limited to the following: Core World Human, Outer Rim Human, Rodian, Sullustan, Twi’lek, and Wookie. Read all of the species and find one that seems interesting to you. Perhaps playing a backwater planet “farm boy” like Luke Skywalker appeals to you, or maybe the sly and cunning Twi’lek might seem a bit more fun to play. The choice you make here is a very important one, and should not be taken lightly. Choosing a species modifies your character in a few ways, and they are spelled out in each description, but generally include the following: • • • • •
An increase in an ability. One or more ability focuses. Languages spoken and read. Special stunts or bonuses. Special equipment

Humans are the primary species populating the core worlds of the galaxy. Ancestors of early space faring pioneers, they can be found almost anywhere where there is a breathable atmosphere, and come in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes. Humans from the galactic core tend to be somewhat more educated and refined than their Outer Rim counterparts. Planets in the galactic core include Cosuscant, Corellia, and Alderaan.

Special: Rodians may re-roll any Perception (Seeing) test, but must keep the results of the second roll. Valuing the art of “The Hunt” above all else, Rodians have evolved into brutal killers and hunters in part due to the harsh conditions of their native world, Rodia. This species centers their culture around stalking and killing prey, and due to this most space faring Rodians see Bounty Hunting or Mercenary work as second nature to them.

Special: Twi’leks can use their head tails to communicate with each other, even in a room full of members other species. The complex move of the tails is a secret language that all Twi’leks are fluent in. A successful TN17 Perception (Seeing) Test allows someone to see if Twi’leks are secretly communicating with each other in this way. Cunning and sly, Twi’leks are often found as traders, pirates or crime lords. Hailing from the rocky and dry world of Ryloth, this bipedal humanoid species is instantly recognizable by the long head tails protruding from the back of their heads. Their calculating persona often places them in positions of influence and power like corporate executives, ambassadors, crime lords, and freighter captains The average Twi’lek stands between 1.6 and 2 meters tall. Their skin tones include white, blue, red and orange among many others.

Hailing from the jungle world of Kashyyyk, Wookies are considered to be one of the strongest intelligent species in the galaxy. Their knack for repairing and altering technology makes them an indispensable part of any space-faring crew, and many pilots wisely choose to have a Wookie as their first mate. Their strong sense of honor guides their path in life. Many Wookies were once Imperial slaves, now wondering and exploring the galaxy. Wookies are large and furry, and range from 2 to 2.3 meters in height. The color of their fur tends to vary from brown to grey colors.
Classes
Classes in Star Wars: Age of Rebellion determine what you’ve become as you’ve made your way through the galaxy. These classes are archetypes and frameworks of the classic Star Wars cast of denizens. Like in the Dragon Age Role Playing Game, there are three classes to choose from, but they are very broad. These are Diplomat, Scoundrel, and Soldier. For example, a soldier could represent a rebel alliance pilot or a mercenary. A diplomat could be a former senator, or a corporate envoy. And a scoundrel could be a computer slicer, or the classic galactic smuggler. Your character begins play at level 1, and as she gains experience she’ll go up in level and have access to new powers and abilities. Each class determines certain key points about your character, including what weapons he’s trained with and any special abilities he may have. Remember, regardless of the class you choose, they all have one important thing in common: the ability to eventually learn the secrets of the Force…

Talents
Talents are areas of natural aptitude or training that your character has acquired in his journeys throughout the galaxy. They provide a way to customize your character beyond simply background and class. Choosing talents is an important part of character creation. Each talent is divided into three degrees: Novice, Journeyman, and Master, each of which provides a game system benefit. You have to be a Novice and a Journeyman in a talent, before you can be a Master. New talents and degrees are earned through your class and as you level up in experience. Page 35 of the Dragon Age Player’s Guide Set 1 has more information about talents. Here is a catalog of Star Wars: Age of Rebellion specific talents:

Journeyman: You can wear Bounty Hunter Armor, Stormtrooper Armor, or Battle Armor without suffering a penalty to Dexterity. Master: You can get the most out of your armor.

Specializations
A specialization serves as a way to further focus your character and your class. Specifying that your Scoundrel character is also a Gambler or Smuggler says a lot more about him. The rules for specializations can be found on page 44 of the Dragon Age Set 2 Player’s Guide. This set includes the following specializations: Starfighter Ace Pilot, Bounty Hunter, Officer, Gambler, Slicer, Smuggler, Spy, and Scout. Specializations are open to any character, as long as they meet the requirements. The Jedi talents must be unlocked, per the rules in the Dragon Age Player’s Guide Set 2.

You can perform the Speedy Search stunt for 1 SP rather than the usual 2. Master: You are not who you seem to be. You can adopt an assumed identity (or alias) and gain +1 to all Communication (Deception) and Communication (Disguise) tests when in that guise. It takes a minimum of 15 minutes to assume the identity. You can have a number of aliases equal to your Communication but it may take several days or even weeks to establish each one. The GM should reward the creative use of these aliases: if they are used frequently and in the right way the bonus may increase and the alias may become more resistant to exposure.

Jedi Specializations
Jedi specializations represent a Force user’s growth as a student of the Force. These specializations must be unlocked, as in the Age of Rebellion, Jedi are not common, and learning about the Force is equally uncommon. Each of these specializations represents a different
aspect of Jedi training. Jedi Consular are skilled negotiators and ambassadors, Jedi Guardian are combat oriented, and Jedi Sentinels are true enemies of the dark side, dedicated to hunting down evil and fighting the spread of darkness. Unlocking any of these specializations immediately allows you to learn the Lightsaber weapon group.

Master: You learn the Jedi Mind Trick Force power,
Jedi Mind Trick (Alter) Time:
Minor
TN:
Varies
Test:
None
This power is used to change the perceptions of the target so that he senses an illusion or fails to see what the user doesn’t want him to see. This power is used to permanently alter a target character’s memories so that he remembers things incorrectly or fails to remember something. This power can also be used to alter a target’s conclusions about a subject matter. Before making the Force (Alter) test, the Force user must describe exactly what she is trying to achieve by using the power. This power only affects one target; different tests must be rolled to affect any additional targets.
TN 13: Slight misperceptions or minor changes to distant memories. TN 15: Alter memories less than a year old. TN 17: Short hallucinations, memories less than a day old, target has strict orders regarding the conclusion.

Novice: You gain a +2 Force bonus to Sense Force tests used to find Dark Side force users. If you do not have the Sense Force power, you learn it (and receive the bonus).
Journeyman: You deal an extra 1d3 of damage against Dark Side enemies when attacking with a lightsaber. Master: As a Major Action, you create a Force haze that hides you and your companions from the perception of others. You can hide a number of creatures equal to your Force ability. Success requires an opposed test of your Force (Alter) vs. Perception (Search) of the opponent entering your line of sight. If you succeed, all hidden creatures cannot be detected by that opponent for up to a minute, or until anyone hidden by the Force Haze makes an attack.
The Force
“The Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It’s an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together.” Obi Wan Kenobi
Force, is finding a teacher. In the Age of Rebellion that the galaxy is currently experiencing, finding Force users and teachers is a rare thing, but they can be found.
The mysterious energy field known as the Force is created by life, found everywhere, and is a part of everything. While everyone in the galaxy is touched by the Force in some way, not everyone can perceive it or feel the way it flows through everything and everybody. A few beings, most importantly the Jedi Order, learned through practice and study the secrets of the Force. Characters in Star Wars: Age of Rebellion have the ability to learn about the Force if they so choose. It is a hard path to travel on, but the rewards can be great. There are three aspects to the Force that characters can learn: Control, Sense, and Alter. Each represents a different side of the Force. Control allows a Force user to control her own body. Sense teaches a Force user to feel the Force around and beyond her body, and Alter lets a Force user manipulate the Force around her, allowing for things like Telekinesis and affecting others with mind tricks. The most important thing a character needs to do if he’s interested in learning the ways of the
Learning Force Powers
A character can learn Force powers through Talents and Specializations. Whenever she can select a new talent, she can pick from the Force Alter, Force Control, or Force Sense talents. Each talent has three degrees (like all other AGE talents), and it is through these degrees that powers are learned. Certain specializations will also grant various Force powers through their degrees. Dragon Age Player’s Guide Set 2 has
information on unlocking specializations. It would be wise to find a teacher before you select a Force talent, as that way you ensure that by the time you can select the talent, you have been taught the powers that it includes. There is no hard rule on how Force training works, this is something that you can work out with your GM, and can even decide that it takes place between adventures, although finding a teacher can also be an adventure in its own right. Using the Force requires a simple Force ability test. The focuses that apply are are Control, Alter, and Sense, each of which corresponds to a specific aspect of the Force.
Your Forcepoint is the measure of how strongly the Force flows through you and certain Force powers allow the target(s) to test against your Forcepoint to resist or at least offset the power’s effect. Forcepoint = 10+Force + Focus (if applies)
The abilities used to test against your Forcepoint vary by the power you are trying to use. The entry for each power will tell you whether a test is required, the ability that applies, and the consequences of success or failure.
The following stunts apply when using any Force power:
Force Power Roll = 3d6 +Force + Focus
If your Force roll equals or exceeds the power’s target number (TN), you successfully used the power. If not, the Force wasn’t strong with you, and the effects of the power don’t take place. Some powers make use of the Force Die, so it’s a good idea to leave the dice where they fall when you attempt to use the Force.
Forcepoint
For many Force powers, making a successful roll is all you need to worry about. Sometimes, however, the Force has other plans, and if you are targeting another person or being, it’s wise to remember that whether they know it or not, the Force flows through them as well.

The Force enables the user to clear all negative thoughts from her mind and allow the Force to flow through her, aiding her in her actions. She gains a +2 bonus to her next test or action.
Hibernation Trance (Control) Time:
1 hour
TN:
15
Test:
None
This power allows the Force user to place herself into a deep trance, slowing all bodily functions. Heartbeat slows, breathing drops to barely noticeable levels, and she falls unconscious. While in this trance a Jedi can naturally heal, but nothing else. Anyone coming across the force user in a hibernation trance assumes her to be dead, except other Force users using the Life Detection power (The hibernating character takes her opposed roll at a -5). A character must state under what circumstances she would come out of the trance (after a specific amount of time, someone touching them, etc.) A character can hibernate for up to 3 months before dying of starvation.
Sense Force (Sense) Emptiness (Control) Time:
1 hour
TN:
15
Time:
Test:
None
This power allows the Force user to empty her mind and allow the Force to flow through her. The character appears to be in deep meditation and oblivious to everything around her. A character under the effects of Emptiness may not move or take any action except to try and disengage from Emptiness. While in emptiness, a character is difficult to sense with the Force. When another character attempts to use a Force power on the user in emptiness, he suffers a -5 to his roll. This applies regardless of whether or not the user in emptiness would willingly accept the power’s effect. Once the character comes out of emptiness, he gains a +5 bonus to all Force tests for an hour. If the character has any Dark Side points, this bonus is reduced to a +2. A character must make a TN9 Force (Control) test to come out of emptiness. The character will also immediately come out of emptiness if she takes damage that would put her at 0 Health.
Minor
TN:
13
Test:
None
This power is used to sense the ambient Force within a place. It cannot be used to specifically detect sentient beings, but there are many forms of life in the galaxy that are intertwined with the Force that can be sensed with this power. “This area is teeming with animals, let’s tread carefully” The power will also tell the user if the area tends towards the light or dark side of the Force. The user may also receive vague premonitions about the area, such as “I sense something wrong”.
Life Detection (Sense) Time:
Minor
TN:

Test:
Willpower (Self-Displine)
This power allows a Force user to detect live sentient beings that might otherwise remain hidden within a 10 meter radius. Each individual sentient being in the area must make a successful opposed Willpower (Self Disciple) vs. the Force user’s Forcepoint in order to avoid detection.
Magnify Senses (Sense) Healing (Control) Time:

Test:
None
This power allows a Force user to increase the effectiveness of her normal senses to perceive things. She can hear noises beyond her normal hearing due to distance or softness, and can see over distances that would normally require microbinoculars and can identify
scents and odors that are normally too faint for typical olfactory senses. For 1 minute, this power grants a +5 bonus to the following tests: Perception (Seeing), Perception (Smelling), and Perception (Searching). This power cannot be immediately rerolled if the test fails, the Force user must wait 5 minutes before trying again.
Receptive Telepathy (Sense) Time:
Major
TN:
15
Test:
Willpower (Self-Displine)
This power allows a Force user to read the surface thoughts and emotions of its target. The Force user “hears” what the target is feeling or thinking, but cannot probe for deeper information. The Force user must first succeed at the test, and then spend another major action deciphering the subject’s thoughts and emotions. If the victim makes a successful Willpower (SelfDiscipline) test vs. Forcepoint, the attempt fails. If the victim is aware that the Force user is attempting this power, she gains a +2 to her roll vs. Forcepoint. If the Force user suffers any damage during the use of this power, it breaks his concentration and must try it again.

Test:
Willpower (Self-Displine)
This power allows the Force user to levitate and move objects or creatures with the power of his mind alone. Objects may be moved 10 meters, regardless of weight, before an additional test must be rolled. Objects or beings can be dropped from levitation as a free action, and will be automatically dropped if the user is the target of a successful attack while using this power. Each individual sentient being targeted by this power must make a successful opposed Willpower (Self Disciple) vs. the Force user’s Forcepoint in order to avoid being levitated. The result of the Force user’s Force (Alter) test determines the maximum cumulative weight that can be levitated: TN 11: Objects <1kg. TN 13: Objects 1-10 kgs. TN 15: Objects 11-100 kgs. TN 17: Objects 101-1 metric ton TN 19: 1001-10 metric tons TN 21: 10001-100 metric tons

Using the Force, the user inspires her allies with hope and courage. If his test is successful, all his allies gain a +2 bonus to their next test or action.
Injure (Alter) Time:
Major
TN:
Defense
Test:
None
The user can cause harm by simply touching his victim. The user must make a Force (Alter) test vs. the opponent’s defense. If successful, he inflicts 1d6+Force penetrating damage on the victim. This power will gain the user dark side points with each attack made with it.
The Dark Side
The dark side of the Force is strong and powerful, seducing Force users with promises of great power and easier control of the Force. But these are empty promises, and characters that end up seduced by the dark side face a painful and helpless future. In Star Was: Age of Rebellion, the dark side works as a tempting and ultimately difficult choice to say no to, and players would be wise to remember the wise words of the Jedi: “Beware the Dark Side”. When a Force using character uses a power in such a way that the GM decides that it embraces the Dark Side, the GM will warn the player. If the player decides to go ahead and use the power, he will gain Dark Side points equivalent to the Force Die roll of the power. As the character accumulates Dark Side points this way, he will hit certain milestones. At receiving 25 Dark Side points, he’ll gain a +2 Dark Side bonus to certain
tests, but gains 2+Force Die worth of Dark Side points. When the character reaches 50 Dark Side points, he can gain a +5 bonus to certain tests, but gains 5+Force Die worth of Dark side points. If a character reaches 100 Dark Side points, he has totally turned. The character immediately gains +1 to his Force ability. He is now, for all intents and purposes, fully evil. A character need not rely on the GM to tap into the Dark Side of the Force. When attempting any test, a Force using player can tell the GM that he is reaching into the Dark Side, and the GM can decide whether or not to grant a +1 Dark Side bonus. Characters willfully seeking out the Dark Side like this run a greater risk of completely turning towards the dark side, as the GM alone determine how many Dark Side points the action earns the character. Characters that are close to being taken over by the Dark Side will start to physically show it. The pigmentation in the eyes will slowly turn a luminous, sulfuric yellowish color, while the skin will start to pale, revealing a web of veins underneath. A Dark Side character’s voice will lower a few pitches and become raspier, and his hair will lose color, almost as if the he was aging rapidly. These are gradual changes, not instantly noticeable, but certainly there to see if looked for. The Dark
Side is unkind with those caught up in its embrace.
Returning to the Light
In order for a character to release herself’ from the stranglehold of the Dark Side and lose dark side points, she must atone. This is not an easy task, however. Atoning can happen in one of two ways: At the dramatically appropriate time, she can make a heroic sacrifice in defense of the helpless and good. The GM has final say over the redemption of the character, and whether or not the effort was sincere. The other way to atone is to fight off the temptations of the dark side. If the GM offers a character that is making a test the chance to gain bonuses from the Dark Side, and he rejects it, he must attempt the test at a -5 to the roll. Whether he succeeds or not on his test, he loses Dark Side Points equal to the Force Die roll. He has sacrificed his action and rejected the dark side, thus moving closer to the light side of the Force. Experimenting with the Dark Side of the Force is serious business. It is dangerous and unpredictable. A Force using character would be wise to stay clear of its temptations. Once a truly evil character has been redeemed and returns from what was a total turn to the Dark Side, he automatically suffers a -2 to their Force Ability score. When a character
is redeemed, the Dark Side exacts a final toll. Remember, the GM has final say in everything corresponding to the Dark Side of the Force.

Aquata Breather While under water, this mouth breather provides two hours of breathable air. Breath Mask This personal atmosphere-filtering system provides 1 hour of breathable
before the filter and atmosphere canister must be replaced. It consists of a mask and a hose that connects to a portable life support system. Flight Suit The flight suit is a one-piece coverall (plus helmet) that provides life support, protects the wearer from hostile environments, and prevents the wearer from succumbing to the effects of high velocity flying. A flight suit includes a matching helmet and gloves that seal around the wearer, providing ten hours of life support. Space Suit This coverall contains a sealed life support system that provides everything the wearer needs to survive for 24 hours in the vacuum of space or any other hostile environment. As long as there is life support remaining, the wearer is immune to any atmospheric or poisonous hazard. Medpac Medpacs are compact packages designed to apply first aid in emergencies. Once you use a medpac, the contents are expanded, even if the attempt to heal was unsuccessful. Use of a medpac is a Major Action that requires a TN 11 Cunning (Heal) test and gives the healed character a total of (Force Die + Cunning) x2 worth of Health.
All Temperature Cloak This wrap around cloak protects its wearer from the elements, providing a +5 bonus to Constitution (Stamina) tests against extreme temperature hazards. Chain This 3 meter chain can support 5 metric tons of weight. Field Kit A field kit is backpack full of survival gear.

Cunning (Droids) or Cunning (Vehicle Engineering) tests. Power Pack A power pack is a compact rectangular battery that fits into the grip or barrel of an energy weapon, such as a blaster, to provide the power needed to fire it. A power pack can be recharged with a power recharger. Changing a power pack on a blaster is a minor action. Power Recharger A power recharger is used to recharge a power pack or energy cell. The process takes 4 hours, and only one pack or cell can be recharged at a time. It must be connected to the power supply of a ship or building for it to work. Security Kit A security kit is a set of special tools for bypassing electronic and mechanical locks. Possession of such kits is usually illegal on most worlds, except when used by authorized personnel. A security kit is needed for all Dexterity (Lock Picking) tests. The kit also included a comlink capable of detecting silent alarms triggered while the kit is in use. Tool Kit A tool kit is used to reprogram a droid, repair a bad motivator, or fix a faulty hyperdrive. Toolkits are assumed to include most of the necessary tools for repairing vehicles and droids. Toolkits are required when attempting repairs using
Utility Belt A utility belt has several pouches containing a three day supply of food capsules, a medpac, a tool kit, a spare power pack, a spare energy cell, a glow rod, and a few empty pouches. Bandolier Depending upon the weapon the wearer carries, a bandolier may contain energy cells or power packs, explosive bolts, magazines, grenades, knives, or any number of other forms of ammunition. A bandolier has 12 slots that can hold ammunition. Retrieving an item from the bandolier is a minor action. Holster Holsters are generally available for pistols, larger weapons are usually carried on shoulder straps. Hip holsters hold weapons in easily accessed and seen locations, while concealed holsters help keep a weapon out of site. A concealed holster can be detected via an opposed test of the searcher’s Perception (Search) against the holster owner’s Dexterity (Legerdemain).

Weapons Melee Group (+STR to damage) Vibrodagger The weapon of choice for petty street thugs and assassins, it is not subject to any regulation since it is used as a common tool for various crafters and explorers. It requires an energy cell to operate. Vibroaxe This powerful weapon features an energy cell that causes the blade to vibrate at high speed when it is activated. It requires two energy cells to operate. Vibroblade A close combat weapon favored by soldiers and mercenaries, it resembles a short sword with a high tech look and feel. It is illegal in most urban areas, and requires an energy cell to operate. Exotic Weapons Group (+PER to damage) Bowcaster This weapon is crafter exclusively by the Wookiees. It is a fusion of modern and ancient technologies, hurling an explosive energy bolt at a high speed, like an ancient rail gun. It takes a major action to reload. A
quiver of 10 bolts for it sells for 50 credits. Flamethrower The flamethrower shots a stream of flame at its target. It can set objects on fire. A victim can make a successful opposed Dexterity (Acrobatics) test vs. the attack roll to take half damage. Heavy Weapons Group (+PER to damage) Blaster Cannon Portable, shoulder-fired blaster cannons fire powerful bolts of energy. A blaster cannon is an area of effect weapon, dealing full target to the target of its attack, and half damage if it misses. Any creature or object adjacent to the target takes half damage if the attack hits. A blaster cannon requires a power pack to operate, and after 10 shots it must be replaced. Missile Launcher A missile launcher fires a high speed projectile with an explosive warhead. The standard missile unleashes metal shrapnel with explosive force, shredding all creatures within a 4 meter radius of its target with half damage. It deals full target to the target of its attack, and half damage if it misses. A missile launcher holds four missiles and requires a major action to reload. Replacement missiles are bought in pre-loaded magazines that hold four missiles, these magazines cost 200 credits.
E-Web Repeating Blaster The E-Web repeating blaster can normally only be fired when mounted on a tripod. It requires a second crewman to help regulate the power generator needed to fire it. Regulating the power generator requires a major action. An unregulated power generator will cause the weapon to misfire (will only fire every other round)). The weapon provides some cover to both shooter and second crewman. Pistols Weapon Group (+PER to damage) Hold-Out Blaster A small palm sized blaster usually found in the possession of undercover agents, gamblers or nobles seeking protection. Due to its size, a hold out blaster grants a +2 bonus to Dexterity (Legerdemain) tests meant to conceal it. It requires an energy cell to operate, and it needs to be replaced after 6 shots. These weapons are illegal in most areas. Blaster Pistol A blanket term for hundreds of different designs from hundreds of different manufacturers, these weapons are popular with urban police forces, traders, or anyone else who needs to pack some easily carried fire power. A blaster pistol requires a power pack to operate, and after 100 shots it must be replaced.
Ion Pistol An ion pistol fires a stream of energy that neutralizes electrical systems, making it effective against droids, vehicles, electric devices, and cybernetically enhanced creatures. It deals full damage against such targets, disabling them a number of minutes equal to the cumulative Force Die rolls of the attacks made against them. Creatures without any cybernetic enhancements take half damage from ion pistols. A power pack is required to operate this weapon, and must be replaced after 30 shots. Heavy Blaster Heavy blaster pistols were invented to provide the sort of power expected from a blaster rifle, but in an easily carried sidearm. The extra power comes from the weapon drawing heavily from its power pack, reducing the number of shots it can provide. This weapon requires a power pack to operate and must be replaced after 50 shots. Rifles Weapon Group (+PER to damage) Blaster Rifle The basic blaster rifle is standard issue to soldiers across the galaxy. A blaster rifle requires a power pack to operate and must be replaced after 50 shots.
Ion Rifle An ion rifle is simply a larger version of the ion pistol. An ion rifle requires a power pack top operate and must be replaced after 20 shots. Heavy Blaster Rifle The heavy blaster rifle is a larger and more powerful version of the standard blaster rifle. Because of its size, it is not well suited to closequarters fighting (a GM may impose an attack penalty in certain situations). A heavy blaster rifle requires a power pack to operate and must be replaced after 30 shots. Lightsaber Weapon Group (+FOR to damage) Lightsaber Simple in design, yet difficult to master, the lightsaber is the weapon of the Jedi. It features a handgrip hilt that projects a blade of pure energy, it’s color decided by the weapon’s crafter. The blade of the lightsaber is generated by an energy cell, and focused through crystals within the hilt. Given time, It can cut through most materials, except other lightsaber blades and energy shields. For an unskilled user, the lightsaber is a difficult weapon to handle, and very deadly. All lightsaber attacks deal penetrating damage. The energy cell which operates a lightsaber costs ten times the amount of a regular one, and acquiring the focusing crystals used in its construction can sometimes be a quest in it of itself. Crafting a
lightsaber requires gathering the necessary components and completing a Cunning (Force Lore) Advanced Test. Explosives Weapon Group Explosive Charge Explosive charges are highly restricted, usually only available to military or law enforcement. It delivers a lot of energy to a specific point, making it perfect for demolishing structures. It damages everything in a two meter radius of its explosion. Setting an explosive charge requires succeeding in a Cunning (Explosives) test.
Thermal Detonator The thermal detonator is a small sphere, containing a powerful explosive. It is outlawed in most known space. It has a timer which can be set for 1 round, or up to 3 (618 seconds), counting down until it explodes or is reset to its safe position. Thermal Detonators act after the initiative count of the person who set it. •
To toss a thermal detonator, you must prepare it with a ready action; if you do not throw the thermal detonator the same round you prepare it you become susceptible to the Kaboom! Stunt (Dragon Age Player’s Guide Set 2, page 52).
•
You must pick a target point within 8 meters of you. You don’t have to see it, but there must be a way for the thermal detonator to get there. You can lob it through a window, for example, but you cannot lob it through a blast door.
•
Once the thermal detonator is prepared, you can lob it as a major action. Make a TN 11 Dexterity test. The GM may modify this number depending on the difficulty of the throw.
•
If the test is a success, the thermal detonator lands in the target area and will explode in the time it was set to, on the thrower’s turn. If the test fails, the thermal detonator misses its target and rolls 1d6 meters in a direction of the GM’s choosing before exploding. Everyone within 6 meters of the explosion takes full damage from the thermal detonator.
•
A ready action returns the thermal detonator to its safe position after it has been activated.

Droids
Droids are mechanical devices capable of intelligent and creative thoughts. They range from simple units capable of understanding single commands; to units so advanced they speak millions of languages. They are one of the fundamental technologies of the galaxy, and are commonplace in all but the most primitive of star systems. In some cases, some droids even appear to have emotions. Some consider droids to be an electronic form of life.
R2 Astromech Droid
R2 units are a popular series of droids, in part due to their design that enables it to fit into the astromech socket of starfighters, where they perform astrogation, power management tasks, etc. These droids are quick-witted, sincere, and insightful, and they tend to bond with their owners.

3PO Protocol Droid
The 3PO protocol droid is programmed for etiquette, communications, and passive behavior. They are built to resemble humanoids, and come in a variety of colors. Cybot Galactica, the most famous and successful manufacturer of protocol droids, outfitted them with SyntheTechAA-1 VerboBrains to give protocol droids personalities with emotions and the ability to learn and grow very similar to organic beings. The 3PO unit possessed a TranLang III Communicator module that could reproduce over six million languages, as well as reproduce any sound it picked up. Linguistic modules were also used to improve their speech functions.[ 3PO Protocol Droid 4 Communication (Etiquette, Persuasion) -2 Constitution 6 Cunning (Cultural Lore, Galactic History Lore) 0 Dexterity 2 Perception (Hearing) 0 Strength 0 Willpower Combat Rating Speed: 8 Health: 25 Defense: 10 Armor: 2 Special This unit knows understands over 6 million forms of communication.

Starships and Space Combat
Spaceships in Star Wars not only serve as a way to get characters from system to system, they should be a big deal for characters, and they can help introduce major elements to the overall storylines of your Age of Rebellion campaign, such as a loan shark lending the PC’s money for a ship. Ships in Age of Rebellion are built similarly to characters, in that they have Health, Defense, and sometimes Armor ratings. Here is what makes up a typical starfighter stat block: Length: The ship’s length in meters. Focus: The focus used to pilot the ship. Usually it is Dexterity (Piloting). Crew: How many people it takes to pilot the ship. Cargo Capacity: Amount of cargo the ship can carry. Consumables: How many days worth of food the ship is stocked with. Cost: The ship’s cost in credits. Atmosphere: How fast in moves in an atmosphere.
Combat Statistics
Initiative: An enemy ship’s initiative modifier. Health: The amount of damage a ship can take before it is destroyed. Defense: Measures how hard the ship is to hit in combat. This number usually equals the Pilot’s Dexterity (Piloting) + a modifier. Move: The number of “space units” the ship can move in outer space. This number is used in ship to ship combat. Shield: The Health number for the ship’s shields. Shields are temporary, and energy weapons destroy them over time. A ship attacked by energy weapons will lose Shield Health before its main Health. Physical attacks, like from asteroids, bypass a ship’s shields. Armor: A ship’s hull may sometimes have an armor rating. This does not apply to shields
Weapons:
Fire Control: The modifier added to the attack roll Damage: The weapon’s damage roll. Range: The small, medium, and long ranges for the weapon, measured in space units.
Space Combat
Space combat works similarly to character scale combat, except that there’s no difference between melee and ranged combat. Different characters inside of a space transport, for example, can take different roles. So while there’s only one pilot, there can be various gunners or navigators. When combat begins, everyone aboard a ship rolls his own initiative. Here is a list of actions characters can do while on a starship:
Major Actions
Defensive Flying (Pilot) You concentrate on flying defensively this round. Until the beginning of your next turn, your ship gains a +2 bonus to Defense. Shields (Navigator or Pilot) You may redirect power from your ship’s engines to the shields. Your shields gain a +5 health, but suffer a -2 to its Move rating until the beginning of your next turn. This requires a successful TN 13 Cunning (Starship Shields) test. Attack (Gunner or Pilot) You fire your ship’s weapons. Fire the Engines! (Pilot) You can move your ship up to double its Move. Astrogation (Navigator or Pilot)
Use Cunning (Astrogation) to program your ship’s Nav Computer and calculate a jump to lightspeed. This may take the form of an Advanced Test, if the GM decides. Major Maneuver (TBA)
Minor Actions
Aim (Gunner or Pilot) You take the measure of your opponent and plan your next strike. You gain a +1 bonus on your next Dexterity (Starship Gunnery) attack. Move You can move your ship up to it’s Space rating. Minor Maneuver (TBA)
Who’s Flying What?
Certain ship statistics will look like this: Defense: 16/12+ Pilot’s Dexterity (Piloting) The number before the slash represent s the value if the ship were being faced as an opponent in battle, while the number after the slash is the formula used to figure out the value if a player character were flying the ship. So if Han the PC Scoundrel is flying the ship in the above example, the ship’s defense would be 12 + his Dexterity + 2 if he had the (Piloting) focus. If Han were facing that ship in combat and the pilot wasn’t a significant NPC, the ship would have a 16 defense.

Stormtrooper
The Emperor’s elite shock troops can be found wherever the Empire seeks to show its might, squish dissent, or strike fear in the heart of the people. Stormtroopers expect civilians to obey them without question, and will use force if necessary, no matter who they are dealing with. Stormtroopers cannot be bribed or persuaded to act against the Empire; it’s almost as if they are programmed to loyally serve the Emperor. 3 3 1 4 1 2 2 0

Thugs rely on superior numbers and intimidation to get the drop on their victims. The typical thug isn’t very smart; he’s quick to anger, and quicker to flee when things don’t look good in a fight. A hired thug can represent just about any common criminal found in the alleys, cantinas, or slums of cities around the galaxy.

Found in the stables of crime lords throughout the Outer Rim, Rodians make excellent hit men and mercenaries due in part to the fact that their species values violence and sees no harm in murder. Rodians are especially sneaky, and one too many spacers have met their end when staring at the business end of a Rodian’s blaster from across a cantina booth.
