Contents. Star Wars 'Revised' Edition System Basically Star Wars D&D 3rd Edition. It involves a system that is far more streamlined than regular D&D 3rd, more in line with d20 Modern. Gone is any hint of spell slots or memorization tables. Generally only class abilities, skills and feats determine a character's capabilities. In this system Jedi are strong adversaries but can realistically be gunned down by a large number of stormtroopers.

Force abilities are generally reflected as Force skills and Force feats. Skills cover most general applications of the Force like the infamous Jedi Mind Trick or Telekinesis. Force Feats expand on such abilities for more potent or specialized applications. For example any Jedi can lift objects but it takes a feat to create a freaking localized hurricane at will. People who are not Force sensitive can channel it through the use of Force points which can be spent to add extra dice to their rolls not unlike Eberron's action points.
Characters have two sets of 'hit points'. Vitality reflects the energy to get out of the way of blaster bolts at the last instant or that instinctual dodge from a lightsaber blade. Its basically plot armour in the sense that a character that still has Vitality can moon stormtroopers as they shoot at him and come out just fine. Actually getting stabbed by a lightsaber subtracts from your Wounds which is equal to your Constitution score. And does not increase with level.
You start actually bleeding when your Vitality (which does scale with level) is depleted or when you take a critical hit. This means that even the highest level badasses can go down like a punk with a few bad rolls that crit them. Jedi expend Vitality to use the Force so there's a soft cap on the kind of bullshit you can conceivably pull with the Force. Many NPCs don't have a Vitality score which explains why heroes are great shots while the average extra can't hit the broad side of a Star Destroyer at fifty paces. The Revised Edition also had the special distinction of making the vast majority of characters into fragile snowflakes in a Tatooine summer. Mainly because armour no longer adds to Armour class but instead functions like Damage Reduction. Sounds like a good idea in theory so it takes special effort to mess it all up.
Which is brilliantly achieved by making Armour DR only function on Wound damage. If you haven't caught on, your DR only functions when you are about a dozen points of damage from death in a setting when crazy people with laser swords are trying to cut your head off.
Even the most basic weapons deal 3d8 damage so even with the heaviest armour, its only a couple or so shots before you croak. It also hinders your DEX bonus which is one of the few things which does add to your AC (or 'Defense' as they term it here). By the way, Jedi lightsabers ignore DR and most Jedi classes have their lightsaber damage scale with level. By the early double digit levels they are dealing damage on par with rocket launchers which is setting appropriate but also handily explains why they are the primary melee warriors in a setting where everyone else tends to pack a blaster.
If a Jedi crits you, its usually time to roll another character. Criticisms Star Wars d20 Revised had a relatively short lifespan so it never accrued some of the insane combinatorial explosion of brokeness that characterised late D&D3.5. That said the game had its flaws, some of them can be considered quite serious. One common criticism is that the game is very 'vanilla'.
Many classes gain all of their class abilities by roughly level 6, everything else was nothing more than a numerical improvement. Aside from the Jedi classes, classes tended to have only a small handful of class abilities and some of those abilities were highly situational. This extended to the prestige classes; the Bounty Hunter PrC for example got the Ranger's Favoured Enemy which extended to his current bounty target (which was nice) but only to his current bounty target (not so nice) and the rogue's sneak attack.
That's it, that's all you get as a bounty hunter in way of class abilities. Basically you took a PrC to get access to class abilities D&D characters got at level 1. Equipment too was basically a numerical improvement as opposed to the huge expansion of capabilities enchanted gear could offer to players more used to fantasy RPGs. Most classes were also very 'samey' with situational bonuses and a small list of bonus feats differentiating some of them. The feats tended to fall into the '+2 to that skill and +2 to another skill' type aside from the feats found in the core d20 system. In a way think of it as a prototype to d20 Modern.
Saga Edition. System Was a revised 'revised' edition, so they just called it the 'Saga' Edition.
It basically followed the D20 system from D&D but with a great number of differences that put it somewhere in between 3.5e and 4e in the ruleset, which is actually a good thing:. Skills come in 'trained' and 'untrained' rather than tracking bazilions of skill points which makes character management much easier. In another nice touch, Armour Class has also been removed, meaning you take your defenses based on your Reflex/Will/Fortitude modifiers. Wearing armour provide bonuses to Reflex saves and occasionally Fortitude, but negates any 'Heroic bonus' you might gain based on your level, so armour is only really a good thing for lower level characters who have low bonuses, or high level characters specifically trained to use armour. Levelling is free-form, you just gain talents from trees available to your class so there is no 'End' ability that you have to wait for in levelling up, or might miss if you multi-class. It also means that two players playing the same class can have absolutely no abilities in common whatsoever.
Inclusion of 'Force' and 'Destiny' points, which are a limited pool of points used by player characters which can be used to modify dice rolls, regardless of whether you are Force sensitive or not. Another great advantage of this system was its use of the metric system, though this mostly amounted to changing all instance of 'five feet' to 'one and a half meters' (which is more accurate than ). While this edition uses hit points, higher starting damage and omnipresence of area attacks (grenades and autofire) that always do damage to characters without cover (at least those without the evasion talent or some for of shield/damage reduction) mitigate HP bloat so two platoons of Stormtroopers are a serious threat to even the highest level player characters. Rather than requiring incrementally better gear every level, calculations for 'heroic' characters add character level or half of it, regardless of what you are using. Gone are small +2 bonuses. Instead most bonuses are +5 or a reroll.
Anyone can use the force too, there are entire chapters providing Talents for Force sensitive characters that are essentially universal talents which can be taken by any class so long as they are force sensitive. So you don't need to be a Jedi to be an effective force user (the main advantages of actually being of the Jedi class are the bonus feat options making it easier to focus on the force, and talents for lightsabers), which itself adds to the freedom of gameplay as you could be a force-wielding scoundrel and never actually take any talent from the scoundrel trees at all. All that's needed to use the force is 1: The 'Force Sensitive' feat (Automatic for first level Jedi. Can pick between it or lightsaber proficiency if you multiclass to Jedi) 2: Being trained in Use the Force (requires Force Sensitive.
If obtained after level 1 you need to increase your intelligence or spend a feat) and 3: One or more instances of the Force Training feat to gain force powers (A bonus feat option for Jedi and optional if you only want to move handheld objects around and make basic telepathic calls). Thus any first level any race with one of the two as a bonus feat (Human, Miraluka and a few others) can do it at first level and anyone not barred from using the force can start at third even if they aren't Jedi. The game actively encourages multi-classing though, and there is a 'modest' (in comparison to 3e D&D) number of prestige classes available that which provide access to their own, usually restricted list of Talent trees, but also provide class abilities with the core classes don't provide. For example: the 'Jedi Master' prestige class provides Force Secrets which are like metamagic feats and can modify your Force powers in cool ways.
Unlike base classes, prestige classes don't gain bonus feats every other level, which makes few of them (mostly the Jedi ones as those get a bonus talent instead) worth it long term. Classes & Talent Trees There are five (and only five) core classes in the system (Seven if you count the NPC classes 'nonheroic' and 'beast'), however as mentioned earlier, because the classes simply provide access to talent trees rather than pre-determined level benefits, players who choose the same class can build themselves entirely differently and shouldn't need to be hemmed into a particular class-role if they don't want to. What follows is mostly a list just to consolidate the widespread rules are for the system and show how varied that characters can be: CORE CLASSES.

Don't be fooled, the Jedi talent trees are actually some of the largest in the entire setting, and that's not even counting how they have access to force talent trees straight away. Plus they are meant to be a starting point for multi-class characters, as the 'Jedi Knight' prestige class gets a butt-ton more talent trees. Not only that, but they are intended to be generic enough that they can apply to any lightsaber wielding character (Sith, Jal Shey etc). Consular - Using the force for negotiation and conflict resolution. Guardian - Learning combat related techniques and maneuvers.
Sentinel - Skilled at seeking/resisting dark-side opponents. Lightsaber Combat - Improving prowess with lightsaber weapons. Ambusher - Take advantage of surprise at the beginning of combat.
Armour Specialist - Maximize the benefits of wearing armour. Brawler - Expert in melee combat. Brute Squad - Combat bonuses when accompanied by allies. Commando - New advanced combat techniques. Mercenary - Use underhanded tactics to gain victory.
Rocket Jumper - Expert in the use of jump packs. Shockboxer - Trained in unarmed combat. Squad Leader - Gain FOLLOWERS and train them as soldiers. Trooper - Grant you and your allies combat benefits.
Warrior - Master of endurance and overcoming enemy abilities. Weapon Specialist - Weapon bonuses with a specific chosen weapon. Veteran - Able to overcome injury and psychological effects. If your character has 'Force Sensitivity' then they can take a force talent in place of a talent granted by their class, there are five generic Force talents while the remaining ones require you be a member of or connected to a particular organisation.

I have a group of people that want to start up a session and move away from our normal DnD session we have every week. So I did a lot of research and decided to go with Saga. One of the players wants to make a Sith assassin character but I wasn't sure if that type of character was in the core rule book so I was wondering if there were any expansion books? And if so could you list them? We also want to try to do a Sith campaign but I've been researching that the game focuses more with the light side of the force, so we are going to try to just home brew it. Saga Edition Core Rulebook Dawn of Defiance (adventure) Starships of the Galaxy Threats of the Galaxy Knights of the Old Republic Campaign Guide The Force Unleashed Campaign Guide Scum and Villainy The Clone Wars Campaign Guide Legacy Era Campaign Guide Jedi Academy Training Manual Rebellion Era Campaign Guide Galaxy at War Scavenger's Guide to Droids Galaxy of Intrigue The Unknown Regions Each books has interesting things in them. If you want to do a Force campaign I suggest Jedi Academy, Clone Wars, Force Unleashed and Knights of the old Republic.
Also since they are out of print a lot of the supplemental books are really expensive, looking at you Starships. Just as a general rule if the game is still in print production or the publisher is offering an official pdf for sale then the subreddit points to that and that only. This ensures that the books in demand are still shown to be in demand and good systems aren't put to pasture before their time. We also occasionally get industry professionals coming through the subreddit and we don't want to put them off of participation by showing support for people that want to download their product for free.
