Hello,
I was wondering about this character from the player resources:
This is a droid character, a droid starts with 175 XP and all characteristics at 1. This character has two characteristics at 2 (20 XP each), and two at 4 (90 XP each), so just the characteristics cost 220 XP.
Does a droid have another special rule, or is this example from the player resources wrong? (Maybe modifications built into the droid, but they are not mentioned)
It is a character for a Con, so it is possible they are more experienced than a starting character.
This was wirrten for the under a black sun adventure that also provides rules for basic play and does not have any rules for character advancement so probably they let you start out as a slightly more powerful character but you will never be able to advance him further with that being said i wouldn't want to use this pc in my games.
Edited by CmanThe pregens FFG uses for beginner, convention, and sample games typically don't follow character generation rules to the letter. They are made more with the intention of demonstrating gameplay options and abilities, and ensuring that the characters have enough "oomph" to survive adventures with enough high drama to help "hook" new players/customers.
