	*'''Force Sensitive Emergent''' ''(AoR)''- Someone just coming into "Force Puberty", gaining passive bonuses to stealth and perception.

	*'''Padawan Survivor''' ''(DoR)'' - The "Kanan Jarrus" spec.

This means it does grant career skills though. Gets the ability to conjure preselected objects, and imbue melee/brawl weapons with Ichor for Cortosis/Pierce/-1 crit rating and defense 1/+2 damage. You can spend strain to recover wounds (or wounds to recover strain, but that's useless) and reroll force die... if there's an ally with this talent nearby (and you aren't your own ally).		*'''Nightsister''' ''(CotR)'' - Interestingly it doesn't grant a FR right away, instead it offers it as a 5xp talent, meaning you can play a non force sensitive nightsister if you want.

	* '''1)''' Calculating odds is a pain in the ass. The D20 system for example has all challenges round into nice clean percentage points by virtue of being based on a D20,so a player can quickly compute the odds and know how much they are pushing ~~there~~ luck if they can guess the DC. But with the star wars system you start having to deal with the mathematical nightmare of ''bellcurves'' of ~~diffrent~~ sized dice to compute odds. Worse yet since your rolling against a 'hostile' pool of dice you have the nightmare of TWO competing bell curves of ~~diffrently~~ sized dice. Elementary school math this is not. (This may be a conscious design choice, to force more “instinctive” decisions than probability calculations)		* '''1)''' Calculating odds is a pain in the ass.

	* '''2)''' It puts a lot more strain on the DM then other systems to think quickly on the fly. Since both the positive and negative dice have narrative positive and negative events, a DM has to be able to relatively quickly interpret what those mean for the players.		* '''2)''' It puts a lot more strain on the DM then other systems to think quickly on the fly.

	Anyone that has played any of the 40k roleplaying systems by FFG will get a familiar feeling when playing Edge of the Empire, it takes the "degrees of success" mechanic from the 40k rules, and strips away pretty much everything else.		Anyone that has played any of the 40k roleplaying systems by FFG will get a familiar feeling when playing Edge of the Empire, it takes the "degrees of success" mechanic from the 40k rules, and strips away pretty much everything else.

	Instead of simply taking a skill or combat check and comparing numbers, players roll a [[dice pool]] of special Star Wars dice that replace the numbers with symbols representing successes and additional effects. A player dice has three ~~diffrent~~ symbols, "Success", "Advantage" and "Triumph", the last of which acts like the first two rolled into one.		Instead of simply taking a skill or combat check and comparing numbers, players roll a [[dice pool]] of special Star Wars dice that replace the numbers with symbols representing successes and additional effects. A player dice has three different symbols, "Success", "Advantage" and "Triumph", the last of which acts like the first two rolled into one.

	The DM then rolls, (or allows the player to roll along with ~~there~~ dice), a pool of "difficulty dice" proportional to the challenge of the task, with a different set of symbols called "Failure", "Despair" and "Threat". If a player ~~get's~~ more success ~~then~~ the DM ~~get~~'s "Failure" and "Despair" symbols the player succeeds.		The DM then rolls, (or allows the player to roll along with their dice), a pool of "difficulty dice" proportional to the challenge of the task, with a different set of symbols called "Failure", "Despair" and "Threat". If a player gets more success than the DM's "Failure" and "Despair" symbols, the player succeeds.

	However the Advantage, Despair and Threat results are different and can trigger positive results even on a failure (if Advantage) or the DM can use them to cause ~~negitive~~ side effects even on a success. So example, you roll medicine, and you succeed but you get too many threat symbols, so you heal the guy but he can't move too fast or he will pop the ~~stitchs~~.		However the Advantage, Despair and Threat results are different and can trigger positive results even on a failure (if Advantage) or the DM can use them to cause negative side effects even on a success. So example, you roll medicine, and you succeed but you get too many threat symbols, so you heal the guy but he can't move too fast or he will pop the stitches.

	The Dice pools that are used are generated quite easily, when you take a test, each skill has a stat associated with it. Compare your ranks in the skill with the stat, and take the higher of the two numbers as your basic number of dice, and the lower of the two number determines how many of those dice are "upgraded" from D8s to D12s. So if for example you have an agility of 4 but a stealth of 2, then you roll 4d8s, but two of those dice are upgraded into the better d12's. If you get situational effects due to talents or environmental effects, the DM can add D6s to the pool. These D6's come in both the positive and negative verity.

	In most of the campaigns, the group starts out with their own method of transportation. ~~EotD~~ and F&D gives them a freighter while AoR gives them either a shuttle or a squadron of cheap starfighters (Y-Wings by default). There are options to choose from, but generally the GM should choose for the group depending on the theme of the campaign, because it would not do too well for a squadron of fighters to roll up in certain situations, but also that some ships have certain narrative crew requirements or limitations which are all helpfully explained in the vehicle's stat block. So small groups might find they don't have enough manpower to properly use a large gunboat/corvette while large groups simply won't fit in smaller light freighters.

	Like [[Rogue Trader (RPG)\|Rogue Trader]] the ship and ship combat can play a very big part of the gaming session. But thankfully unlike Rogue Trader the rules have been streamlined in line with what they did to personal scale combat. Distances and positions are abstract, so you only need to pay attention to who has particular advantages over each other.
