So for the Shards of Alderaan campaign I'm designing, all characters are expected to be Force-sensitives. I imagine most are going to roll F&D characters, but I'm confident 1-2 are going to roll EotE characters. Because I'm hoping to streamline the Morality/Obligation systems down to just Morality, I'm wondering if people think the following requirements for EotE characters living in a F&D world will be fair and/or reasonable:

EotE Characters in Shards of Alderaan Campaign:

• Must select Force Sensitive Exile specialization at creation (typically will cost 20 pts to select if it is character's 2nd specialization).
• Must select at least 10 pts of Force Sensitive Exile talents or Force Powers.
• Character will use the Morality system instead of the Obligation system.

Justification here is that the storyline will emphatically require the characters to be demonstrably Force-Sensitive -- in the sense that they cannot simply "be" Force Sensitive.

This story will also require all PCs (EotE or F&D) to start at Morality 29, due to their being trained in a Sith Academy. In compensation for this forced choice, all characters will receive +5 XP and +500 Credits at creation (which will represent the quality of their education and access to gear).

Is this too draconian? It doesn't appear so to me, but I'm a very assertive GM, so...it's hard for me to get perspective, sometimes.

What you could do is simply grant everyone a bonus point in Force Rating (so the F&D careers would start with 2) and require that everyone have the basic power in at least one force power.

As long as the players are aware up front I see no issues.

I would not require this to be spent at start. You're cutting into an EotE characters XP for stats by about 30 XP, which is a serious hit.

Instead, I would let them create characters as normal. Then give all characters 30 earned XP (cannot be spent on stats, and skills can't go above 2). EotE characters must buy FS:Ex and Talents/Powers.

Not a bad idea.

aka, Squire Level...

Very much agree with this, also be aware that at the start the EotE characters will be slightly "behind" the others in terms of overall skill ranks/Talent expenditure, but it should even out within a few sessions.

Yeah, the 20 XP for FSEx vs. the 2 less skill points for F&D characters.

In some cases the 2 skill ranks could equal 20 XP, but not many. Like you said, not a huge advantage.
