d20 Star Wars & d20 Star Wars Revised Differences?

Ashtal · Dec 8, 2002

There wouldn't be a document floating around out there that listed the changes made between the two editions, would there? The Revised version never made it out to my neck of the woods.

Any help is appreciated.

Ashtal,

If there is such a document, it would probably be found in the Star Wars D20 section of the Wizards site:

www.wizards.com

Good luck!

(and if ordering the Revised Edition online is an option for you, I reccomend it, my group finds it a lot easier to play with, and more fun!)

Hey Ashtal,

Here's a (more or less) direct link to the conversion page for SW to SWRCR:

PS: Oh yeah, if there's a Coles, Chapters, or Indigo nearby, check them for it. Every one I've been to recently has had at least a copy or two.

[Edit: added the PS]

I'd also mention:

Pretty much all the character classes are changed so that they get some kind of class ability each level. The amount of defence bonus at 1st level is reduced. (I think all the improvements were great except for the noble, which was better before).

The reputation rules are changed

Changed and new prestige classes (including some Jedi prestige classes)

Some new feats, some changed Jedi skill/feats.

Armour now gives DR instead of adding to defence

Completely revised starship rules

You die more easily - the DC Fort save to be just alive when you run out of wounds has been replaced by a more D&D like just die when you run out of wounds (a retrograde step IMO)

The knockback combat action has disappeared.

Attacks of Opportunity introduced into combat

Quite a wholesale lot of changes.

Cheers

There is a long and comprehensive comparison between the 2 books that I wrote. It should answer all of your questions...
