SW GM FFG Stat Block

What is a Stat Block? well it is short form of Statistical Block of text to describe your character in a reference form so you take up less space and have something useful in a game session for a role playing game with this form.

The Name descriptor and main defining point of a character is the name that they are known by. This represents how they are identified and referenced in my notes as well as in the game itself.

A player character has more information attached than an NPC as these effect how they are played in the game as well as impact on stortylines.

The Race Sex Career Specialisations section is a good way to see what this character should be capable of and some of these things don’t require a check to do simple things due to thier experience.

The Background line lists what backstory elements where used to build the character. This is usually in three parts, a beginning, change and a a career story.

The Duty line is used with characters associated with the Rebel alliance and how they have signed up to work with them.

The Obligation line is used with characters associated with a past that affects their future.

The Morality line is used with force sensitive characters who need to be mindful of the balance between light and darkness. This also includes corruption points earnt, and force points spent.

The Force Awareness line is used with force sensitive characters gaining a reputation with the empire.

The XP Total is used to represent how much experience this character is built from and how much is remaining to spend. This is also broken down by starting and advancement XP.

The three NPC types:

• Minion – Designed to work as squads, with each threshold of damage done to them taking out a an indivial of the group.
• Rival – Stronger than minions but using the same pool of resources for Physical and Mental damage.
• Nemesis – Built like a PC.
