When I read that there were only 4 "architypes" replacing every species in Edge, Age and Destiny, I was confused. Were they going to pull a d20 modern and make it stat based? but then why wasnt it 6 architypes instead of 4?
It just occured to me that all those star wars races fall into just a handfull of categories. Arguably 4, if you squint a little.
Well Rounder- 110 xp, 2 in all stats, extra non class skills. In Edge, this is Human.
The Specialist: 175 XP, 1 in all stats, extra class skills. In Edge, this is Droids.
The Talented: 3 in 1 stat, 1 in another, 95 XP. Every species in the unofficial species compendium, and the majority of official races, too.
The Outlier: +1 to a stat, twice, can be the same stat. -1 to a stat, twice, cannot be the same stat. 80 XP. This category covers both the 3/3/1/1 races and the occasional 4/1/1 race like Drall.
There might be other customization options, a free talent your architype can buy at creation, but I feel this is probably the heart of Genesys's "4 architypes" system.
