Sorry about all the threads. This will be my last one foot the day.

When make a character is it the racial dice plus 6d for attributes and 7d for starting skills?

Again, thanks for your help and patience.

That is absolutely correct.

I declare you the winner! Here is your ribbon:

Oh, for more information on starting characters, here is a simple tutorial on creating Star Wars D6 Characters:

Thanks. How much do you give players for starting credits

It really depends on the type of game we're playing, and how much equipment they start with. There was one time I started the game with the players with a crashing ship and the salvage rights for what would ensue in the next several rounds.f

If I'm running a money-oriented game (such as a tramp freighter campaign), then I carefully calculate how much money they will need for the next two sessions, and give them barely enough to get by. For less monetary oriented games, I'll give them 100-200 credits, or maybe a touch more if they have less equipment than their party members.

The template they pick, or pc they make up (if not using templates) have to stay within the min/maxes for the race they wish to pick, so you need to ensure all 6 attributes are in that ball park. Even with the 6d attribute bonus PC's get over generic npcs.

As far as starting funds, its all over the place. Take just the BASE templates in the Base 2e revised book.

Alien student of the force: 250 credits, a statue and an amulet or other trinket of mystical importance (no value to it listed)

Arrogant noble: 2000 credits, several changes of clothes (we will say 1000 worth here), hold out blaster (255 credits), one melee weapon of choice (250 to 500 credits), personal land speeder (5000 credits used),

Bounty hunter: Heavy pistol (750 credits), hold out pistol (275 credits), blaster pistol (500 credits), knives (50 credits each), Protective vest (300 credits), Jet pack (800 credits), 2 med packs (100 credit each), 1000 credits.

So just going over those 3, we see a vast disparity in starting funds..

IIRC isn't there a Rodian Pacifist in heroes and rogues?

Yeah, the picture of that Rodian holding out the flower kills me every time I see it. Laughing

Speaking of which, has anyone actually had a Rodian pacifist in their games?

A further question to this. When allocating the 7D starting skill dice at character creation, does each skill have to be incremented 1D at a time, or can it be broken up into 3 pips per die, which would allow for smaller bumps across a greater number of skills?

I couldn't find this explicitly stated in the 2E blue book.

It can be broken up into 3 pips per dice.

I declare you kinda right. Here's a rum ham in lieu of a ribbon.

Also if you are using the REUP Core Book (Which I suggest you do), there are rules for starting credits on page 24.

Well per RAW R&E you do not get to break the 7D into pips, they are spent as full D. One of those may be spent for three specializations. The only mention of breaking up dice into pips is for attributes. That being said, I do allow my "experienced" players to spend 21 pips and they may purchase up to three specializations at 1 pip per.

So, the answer is "no, but ..."
