[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 2457377, member: 14159"] In the d6 Star Wars RPG, all the main movie and novel characters were nigh godlike, with stats no PC could reasonably expect to ever have. Luke Skywalker, as a 19 year old farmboy who had never been offworld and lead a quite uneventful life had such a huge list of skills that even characters created by-the-book and played weekly for a year wouldn't have anywhere near as much power. This was always held up as a weakness of d6, that they made even the weak movie characters far more powerful than PC's could ever hope to be. Palpatine, for example, had 40 force points, 15D or more in all force skills, and 21 skills at more than 10D in value. PC's on the other hand, would be doing well to ever get one skill that high, focusing on it for an entire campaign. More experienced main characters; Mara Jade, Grand Admiral Thrawn, Darth Vader, Chewbacca, Han Solo, or heavens help you, the Emperor himself, had stats that would take many years of constant play to get near.
