STAR WARS

silver edition

Introduction
Hi, and welcome to the STAR WARS silver revision. This document will detail the changes and
updates to the STAR WARS Saga Edition game. Below is an overview of what's changed.
- Attacks, Defenses, and Skills scale at the same rate for everyone.
- Characters gain feats at every level.
- Characters gain feats, talents, and ability score increases based on their total level, rather than
their class levels.
- Ability scores, hit points, starting wealth, and other persistent statistics are determined by the
players' choices, rather than by random dice rolls.
- The skill list has been consolidated, and the skills redefined for maximum usability.
- Feats have been revised and updated. Several feats have been added to take advantage of new
tactical options and skill uses.
- Armor protects you from the damage dealt by a successful attack, rather than making you more
difficult to attack.
- Combat has been updated to both streamline and add tactical options.
- Vehicle Combat has likewise been updated.
