Edge of the Empire Rulez! (1 of 2)

Characters: Emily, Jay, Nadav, Romesh

Edge of the Empire (and the whole Star Wars RPG line in general) is an excellent system. This week we’ll be explaining the basic rules – although they probably won’t be coming up again in the strips themselves, we just want people to get to know them. Look out for part 2, on Thursday.

We should note, we aren’t paid by FFG, not any more than JP is – in a funny coincidence, he just uploaded an explanation video this week, as an introduction to their new Roll Play series. We simply love the system, and we’re having a blast with its predecessor, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 3rd ed.

For beginners – to the system, or even RP in general – we recommend the Edge of the Empire Beginner Game (affiliate link; currently hard to get, but should be available again soon). A great adventure, with everything included, and then some.

Careers and Specializations

Star Wars Edge Of The Empire Races


The Career is one of the most important things to a character, it allows for the character to understand who he is as both a person and a mechanically functional character. As Edge of the Empire describes: The Career is the heart of the character which the player chooses, it defines who they are, and who they will always be.

For example, Han Solo plays the pilot of the Millenium Falcon, one of the biggest heroes of the Rebellion, and is devious at heart when he kills Greedo. However, in the end, he will always be a Smuggler.

Getting Specializations

Paying for more specializations represent your character’s expansion of technique and progress. This being said, once you choose your permanent Career, from the Career you have your Specializations. The first specialization is free, however, for every other specialization afterward, it costs 20 XP for your second, then 30 XP for your third, then 40 XP for your fourth (if you decide you want to).

Free Skills

When you choose your Career, you are given a series of skills, you can pick four of them to upgrade to Rank 1 or 2 (depending on if you have a rank in it or not, and you cannot go past Rank 2). Then, you have your Specialization skills, you choose two skills from that list to increase a Rank (you still may not increase this past Rank 2), this only occurs with the first Specialization. Additional Specializations do not grant these free increases(although the additional Specializations do grant a character additional Career skills).

There is no experience point cost for the six free skills you get from your Career and Specialization, so choose your skills wisely.
