Hey everyone,

I'm new to FFG's Star Wars rpg (been specifically waiting for this set) and have what might be a silly question. I've searched but couldn't find an answer so I do apologize if this has been asked before.

During character creation can I use my specialization skill increase to increase a career skill that already has a rank? For example, if I make a Sentinal (Shadow) can I use my both the free skill ranks to get a 2 in stealth without investing skill points?

Thanks for the help on this one

If you mean choose Stealth as both your Career and your Specialization option, thus putting it at 2 ranks to begin with, then yes, I believe so. As long as the skill in question is in both skill lists, the Career's and the Specialization's.

Also, a starting skill can't be higher than 2. So if your species, career, and specialization all give a rank to a particular skill, you could only raise it to 2, not 3. The only exception to that (that I know of) is for Corellian Humans for Piloting.

As long as your starting rank doesn't go above 2 you can combine away.

Awesome, thank you all very much for your help! One last question, is the Nexu stated up in any of the books?

Here's a good resource for when you're digging through books for stat blocks and the like:

FFG Star Wars Index

I have one quibble with the index he has built [1], but other than that, it's a very quick way to find the stuff you seek.

[1] He doesn't include the everything with a stat block in the primary index, just things with a listed cost. Instead, you can only find non-costed stuff by going to 'Books', and selecting the book where the item/creature/ship can be found.

What’s going on in the Starship table is I only list “Equipment” which is defined as something that has a cost. It’s a quirk, but some of it is not revealing GM information.
