Hello,
I am new to d6 star wars. We are watching some kids for some friends in a few weekends and they are big fans of the movies so I thought it would be fun to run a Star Wars RPG. I was originally going to do a d20 game but after reading a few reviews from you loyal fans, I downloaded the REUP file and am planning on running a d6 game instead.
Now to the main question. I was watching a video on how to run combat with the dice and one of the commenters said they would assign a d2, d3, d4, etc for the difficultly level, roll and then have the player roll against that number. I also saw that in the official rules as an optional way of determining the difficulty level.
Any thoughts on which system you like better? I like the idea of simply choosing difficulty as d# but didn't know if it would make the game too easy at times.
Thanks |

In one of the books (can't remember off the top of my head where" it has a d value for each of the difficulty level groupings. 2d for easy, 5d for difficult and so on... Is that what you are on about?

Welcome to Star Wars D6 and welcome to the Pit!
Yes, there is a random difficulty chart on REUP p. 76:
(very) Random Difficulties (Optional)
....Difficulty .Random Difficulty
....Very Easy ....1D
...........Easy ....2D
.....Moderate. 3D-4D
.......Difficult. 5D-6D
Very Difficult. 7D-8D
.........Heroic ...9D+
I strongly recommend not using it though. It's just way too random. You already have the randomness of the skill roll. The game gives good guidelines for assigning a specific difficulty number, so I would suggest doing that. Good luck with your game.
