After 3 months of play, several players were in the 7D range. And the 1E GG series showed the heroes and villains of the movies to have skills in the 10D to 14D range. I ran one campaign where the Ewok managed to get to all three force skills at 6D. (I can accurately place when the game was - my freshman year in college.)The Rules Upgrade (Part #40100-60, ©1988, which was bundled in most of the early adventures and in the Campaign Pack, as well, and some later orders of the 1E rules had it tucked in, too, as well as available from WEG at the time for the cost of a SASE) added haste, deleted high-roller goes first, and said non-hasted actions are simultaneous. It also set dex as the determinant of who declares first. I found this FAR superior to stock 1E.If I were to "reinvent" WEG d6, I'd use rolled dex for initiative, declare actions low to high, resolve high to low; I'd use 1E core style scaling - except that I'd add fighter-to-capships using the same rules person to fighter scale. Haste, full round defenses add to TN, reaction defenses replace TN.</blockquote>
