Star Wars d6 Life Path System

Hey, another thing I found when cleaning up old files!

The Life Path Character Creation System


Step 1) 1D in all attributes

Step 2) Upbringing: 6D in Attributes, 1D in skills. Equipment: Something cheap but useful. May include weapons or tools. Example: Sporting Blaster, Survival Pack, Medkit

Step 3) Education: 4D in Attributes, 2D in skills. Equipment: Something relatively expensive; good armor, a speeder bike, a droid, a heavily leveraged space ship.

Step 4) Early Career: 2D in Attributes, 4D in Skills. Equipment: Something useful, frequently a weapon.

Step 5) Buy and Sell equipment. Take 250cr as a base. Sell redundant background equipment for 100% of book price.

Now, your choices may make your attributes fail to meet species minimums. That's tough luck, unless some of your choices cause an attribute to exceed species maximum. Any pips or dice which exceed species maximums must be applied to any attribute failing to meet minimums, or wherever you like, if your species minimums have been met. Likewise, choices may exceed the 2D skill limit. In that case, you may apply them to other skills, or use them to acquire specializations.

Some samples are below; more will be added as I get the time and inclination.
