Message: <blockquote data-quote="DrSpunj" data-source="post: 3715579" data-attributes="member: 994">I'd been thinking about picking up the Saga book to look at the mechanics for awhile now, and with the 4e announcement I grabbed it at B&N this weekend. I've only glanced at the skills chapter but I can give you a bit of an overview (though IDHMBIFOM).The 5 classes each have a number of trained skills (ranging from 3-6 I think, plus Int bonus) they can choose from their class skill list.ALL skills, trained & untrained, have skill modifiers equal to 1/2 level (rounded down) plus the relevant Ability Mod (IIRC). If you're trained, you get a flat +5 bonus on top of that.That's it. No skill points, no skill ranks, no synergy bonuses, nothing. Some skills can still only be used if trained.Again, I only skimmed the list, but compared to 3.5e, the skill list is shorter. There's only Perception instead of Spot & Listen, Stealth instead of Move Silently & Hide. I remember Climb, Jump & Tumble, along with Ride, plus Pilot. Deception instead of Bluff (which may also incorporate sleight of hand stuff?). Knowledge was still a list that you selected areas from individually.Hopefully if I've misremembered some particulars someone can quickly correct me. I'm not playing Star Wars at all, and in my group we're playing a primarily IH-game with the AE magic system instead of 3.5e, so I'm basically just mining SW Sage edition for whatever looks better. As always, YMMV. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Thanks.</blockquote>
