Can a force-sensitive exile (From Edge of the Empire) use force powers in other books or does he have to take, for example, force-sensitive emergent to get powers from the enhance tree? Thanks in advance.

It's up to your GM about what game line books are allowed in a given campaign.

But there's nothing "inherent" to Force-Sensitive Emergent and not to Exile that gives access to Enhance. It's really about what sourcebooks your GM will allow. Theoretically with all Edge, Age of Rebellion, and Force & Destiny books open, you could have an Exile invested in Sense, Enhance, and Misdirect, if you want to dump the XP into those.

By default, any character can choose material from the other books, even if it's for a different product line.

So a Spy/Infiltrator (Age of Rebellion) could take the Force Sensitive Exile specialization and could then purchase the Influence power (both from Edge of the Empire). Same with a Smuggler/Scoundrel (EotE) taking Emergent (AoR) and then later Ataru Striker (Force and Destiny) and then grabbing the Seek power (also Force and Destiny).

Ah, now I understand. Thank you for the help guys.

I wouldn't say by default. It is up to your GM. They are technically separate games despite being 100% fully compatible. I can't see why your GM would object to most cross pollenaiting, but I would ask to make sure.

I can think of a few reasons... The GM owning the books for one.

I would assume someone has the book if the player wants to use the option found in it. I GM an EotE game. I let my player that took FSE choose force powers in the FaD beta because he bought the book. I only ask that I can reference it regularly when needed.

When I said 'by default' I meant that within the rules themselves, there is nothing in the rules as written that stops a player from mixing and matching elements from all three books for their character.

Yes, a GM can "sorry, but I want you guys to only chose from the EotE books," but they can just as easily restrict player access to books within the same product line. So a GM that's excluding anything from AoR and FaD can just as easily exclude the new material from the EotE career sourcebooks, or say that anything from Lords of Nal Hutta is off-limits. None of those exclusions are in the rules, and the books were all written under the default assumption that players would be able to access the new specializations and gear.

All 3 are written as stand alone games independent of the others. I think it is misleading at best to say that all the books are written under the assumption that players are going to cross product lines.

With respect, I must disagree slightly.

I believe that the three different games are designed to be able to stand on their own, if that is what the GM wants to do. But I also believe that they are intended to be used together, if that’s what the GM wants to do.

So, I believe that “crossing product lines” is definitely something that I think the developers were looking at and assumed that a good percentage of people were going to want to do.

As a GM, I would allow taking Force Powers from the other games, but might require the concerned character to implement the morality mechanic for balance reasons.

For what it's worth, this is what I did when a player in my EotE campaign wanted to go the force Sensitive route.

rowdyoctopus,

The guys that created and wrote the game would disagree with you. When EotE was released, there was a video from the lead designers (Jay Little, Sam Stewart, Andy Fischer, amidst others) that discussed that while the game could be used independently, there were generally meant to be used as the "total Star Wars Role Playing" experience, and that the books were (unlike the WH40K line) designed to be completely compatible with one another from the ground up. In this respect, you could very easily have starting-level PCs from EotE, AoR, and FaD in the same group and not have any serious power imbalances between the characters. After starting level is another thing, but that kind of imbalance can happen even within a single product line without bringing in material from the other two product lines, and happened when it was just EotE that was available and AoR Beta hadn't even been released yet.
