Star Wars Saga Edition [SECR] Preview #3 is Up

[Alnag]

3rd preview is up Saga preview 3 and also check the mins preview because it contains two characters with Saga stats.

Now, let's speculate again.

Lot of info to process.

BTW, from the Jenalari defender it is clear that Skill Focus(Use the Force) is a feat.

 

[Shalimar]

Between Trained and Skill Focus: Use the Force I think that the listed uses of the force skills are givens.

Yep, the question is does the jedi class get it as a bonus feat?

Don't know, but we know they get Force Senistivity as a bonus feat:

Jedi, who gain Force Sensitivity as a bonus feat

Well, interesting that the sample character has Force Training (x2), so I wonder what each selection of the Force Training applies to...

Also, in the mini's section, Han Solo has a Force score of 5, but without any Force Feats, I wonder if he can actually use them for anything?

A character must have the Force Sensitivity feat to use the Use the Force skill untrained, and only someone trained in Use the Force can activate Force powers.

So I'm guessing that there isn't a feat which allows you to become trained in a skill then, or else Force Sensitivty would be kind of a jib...

Things I've noticed so far from the stat blocks:

• HP seem pretty high, but I suppose they are 4th, 9th and 8th level.
• Armour adds to Reflex Defence only - I was expecting it to add to Threshold.
• Armour gives a penalty to Reflex Defence (but not skills) unless you are proficient in its use.
• Threshold = Fort Defense in each example. Coincidence?
• No iterative attacks for BAB 6+.
• Rapid Shot and Mighty Swing add an extra damage dice to Ranged/Melee damage respectively.

I'm guessing it's much like Force Points.

Probably you get to select two force powers each time.
