Character creation question

What does the (Skill) +1 mean when selecting a species during character creation? (For example, the Sullustan species bonus of Astrogation: +1)

Is this similar to a vehicle's handling, and adds a boost die to the indicated skill check, or does this mean you gain a free rank in the skill?

Thanks, - Jake

It means they get one free rank in that skill, which can stack up to 2 ranks with the free Career and Specialization ranks.

Also, where are you getting that (Skill) +1 from?

The Sullustan entry in the Age of Rebellion Core Rulebook reads:

"Sullustans begin with 1 rank in Astrogation; they may not train this skill above rank 2 at character creation."

I was reading the sullustan species profile on a third-party site.

Awesome, thanks for the clarification!

be careful which third party site you use. one I looked at said sullustan had 110 xp.
