[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 7481191, member: 4936"] Morrus, here's the output of the character generator compared to the character I built using the same (or as close as possible) choices from the book. The character generator doesn't allow a Homeworld choice, for example, so that's one reason for the differences, but in particular the attributes seem VERY different.
