[QUOTE="Asmor, post: 3599140, member: 1154"] I'm working on a one-shot for Star Wars Saga Edition, and right now I'm working on 16 different characters. I started out by assigning them all to 4 different factions (corportation, government, crime and jedi council) and assigning each a species, class and role. I tried to keep it fairly balanced... There's 4 humans, 2 twi'leks and 1 of each of 10 other races. 4 jedis and 3 of every other class. There's a good mix of melee, ranged, social and other roles (only 1 pilot, though, but I'm not sure if I'm going to use space combat in the one-shot... I'll probably try to anyways). Anyways, after I got all that done in a spread sheet, I went through and assigned stats to all of them (using the elite array, 15 14 13 12 10 8). I noticed something... Probably just my own bias, but dexterity seems to be the most important stat. At the very least, it's the most universally useful, and I ended up sticking a lot of high scores in there. Strength and Charisma were the main dump stats, depending on the role. Intelligence is the only stat I never stuck an 8 in. I decided to add them all up... Here's the total points assigned to each stat: Str: 180 Dex: 213 Con: 193 Int: 196 Wis: 196 Cha: 174 If you're interested, here's the raw stats I used (these are all before racial ability adjustments): [sblock=stats!][code] Species Class Affiliation Role Str Dex Con Int Wis Cha Bothan Scoundrel Corp Spy 8 15 10 14 13 12 Gamorrean Soldier Corp Bruiser 15 13 14 10 12 8 Human Scout Corp Shooter 8 15 13 14 12 10 Sullustan Noble Corp Social 10 8 12 13 14 15 Human Scoundrel Crime Skirmisher 14 15 13 10 12 8 Rodian Scout Crime Hunter 13 15 14 12 10 8 Trandoshan Soldier Crime Bruiser 15 12 14 10 13 8 Twi'lek Scoundrel Crime Shooter 8 15 13 14 12 10 Gungan Scout Gov't Skirmisher 14 15 13 10 12 8 Human Noble Gov't Social 8 13 10 14 12 15 Mon Calamari Noble Gov't Pilot 10 15 12 14 13 8 Wookie Soldier Gov't Bruiser 15 13 14 12 10 8 Cerean Jedi Jedi Social 8 10 12 13 14 15 Human Jedi Jedi Force 10 12 8 13 15 14 Kel Dor Jedi Jedi Skirmisher 14 15 13 10 8 12 Twi'lek Jedi Jedi Deceiver 10 12 8 13 14 15 [/code][/sblock] So has anyone else noticed similar patterns?
