Thank you . I know I and many others would love a layout of the talent trees. I can assure you that it's been done before with no repercussions, but I can understand and respect your hesitation.

Please consider it, but it's your choice, don't let us pressure you too much (although I will point out you brought this upon yourself; you didn't have to tell us you were the first one to get the book )!

Okay, but I will haunt your *** if somehow this is breaking a rule.

Droid section is incredible. We get the KX Series (K2SO), the Mouse Droid, the ID-9 that Iden uses in Battlefront 2, IG-RM (offshoot of the IG Assassin droids), and a DTS Dismantler Droid.

ID-9 was from Seventh Sister (Rebels), upgraded to the ID-10 in Battlefront 2
IG-RM are the droids on Vizago's ship (Rebels)
DTS Dismantlers were the droids taking apart the Y-wings in S3 of Rebels

I accept your terms .

As a suggestion, for the connections, you can use symbols instead of spelling it out. If i had somehow gotten the book first, I was going to use <^v>, and remove symbols for missing connections.

Can we get descriptions of the new talents here?

There was a question about force ratings:

Darth Vader (6) (also Adversary 4)

Maul (4) (Adversary 3)

Grand Inquistor (4) (Adversary 3)

Fifth Brother (3) (Adversary 2)

Seventh Sister (3) (Adversary 2)

Ahsoka Tano (3) (Adversary 1)

Kanan (3) (Adversary 1)

Ezra (2)

The +1 Padawan Survivor gets, is this the same as, say, Force Sensitive Exile, or will it actually add 1 to the Force Rating of a character that has Force Rating from a previous specialization or career?

I'm 100% positive it's the same as on the existing Force-Sensitive specs we have, but confirmation is always nice .

Khazadune, thank you so so much! I know we're all going to be wondering what the new talents do, so... you know . If you have time...

When you get an opportunity, could you tell us about the new equipment options? Anything in the book stand out?

Thank you for doing this.

The Padawan Survivor is perfect for the next campaign I'm going to run. So happy that they included a spec like this.

It states, “When characters purchase this Specialization, they automatically receive a Force Rating Of 1. If such characters already have a Force Rating Of 1 or higher, it does not improve...”

@Absol197 is correct.

So, about that death star entry. What does it say about the superlaser?

The thing that blew me away was the Lightbow. The Vibrorang was impressive and then of course the assortment of blasters are stellar;

DLT-19D Heavy Repeating Blaster Rifle

E-11 D Blaster Carbine

E-22 Blaster Rifle

MWC-35c Repeating Cannon (standard or single shot)

PB08 Heavy Blaster Pistol

if this book has a let down for me it would be that there are no pieces of actual Armor or equipment, just droids, vehicles and weapons. But given how much else it has, wow.

Well it has a side information block about the Death Star firing arcs, but as for the actual superlaser, under the DS-1 entry Fire Arc Forward; Damage -, Critical -, Range (Long), Slow Firing (8).

Then we have an info block on the Superlaser: “... the Mk 1 Superlaser has no damage or critical rating yet deals damage. It’s damage is on such a level that it transcends numbers. When it fires everything in its path is utterly destroyed...” it goes on to explain that it is a narrative tool and that GM’s should describe its damage. (Whole worlds obiterated in th blink of an eye, ships turned to ash as if mere paper, Force senstives disoriented by death cries etc.)

Aw, I was hoping it would be something silly like "99999999999999999999999999999999999999" or " ∞ "
