Several things to address.
1. Krizzel, thank you very much for that link. I suggest everyone who doesn't have access to the revised rules visit it, cuz we'll be using those armors instead of the non-revised.
2. EVERYONE E-mail your character to me, please. Don't post it here, just the basics (Human Imperial Soldier, or New Republic Twi'lek Jedi, etc). You can share whatever other info you want to with your fellows, but they don't automatically get to know all about you. One thing though - all members of the new republic (not the jedi council) have a "Profile" which is public-access. After I have your character I'll post those "Profiles" for anyone who wants to check them.
3. History's and background, I'ld like some (At least a paragraph) but please not too long. Anything that's not need-to-know about him/her can be revealed in-game.
4. Vitality - I'll run it as max at first level, .75(rounded down) for all other levels. It goes like this:
d4=3
d6=4
d8=6
d10=7
d12=9 (I don't think there are any in SW though)
Then, as usual, add your con. mod every level.
