A super quick question. I have to create a couple additional characters for the beginner game even besides the two PDF ones. Does anybody know how much XP and credits the each get?

Thanks to everybody who answers and May the force be with you!

Just build a character out of whichever book you want. XP and credits are species an Obligation/Duty/Morality dependent.

Thanks wasn't certain how close the numbers were 👍

Remember that the Beginner Game characters (both regular and PDF-only) are simplified versions of the actual game. If the players want to continue playing with the Beginner Game characters after finishing the box' storyline, then it's a good idea to offer a character rebuild to everyone.

Thank you for the reminder, I realized they put all the knowledge skills into one last night. Are there others that I missed?

Another element is that each character has the Lightsaber skill automatically keyed to the alternative characteristic that the career's token Lightsaber Form spec uses as the default, instead of the full rules having Lightsaber default to Brawn. So the Seeker has the skill tied to Agility (Ataru Seeker), the Sentinel has the skill tied to Cunning (Shien Expert), and the Guardian has it tied to Intellect (Soresu Defender).

Also, the pregens who begin with the Enhance power have both the basic power (spend FP to add success/advantage to Athletics checks) but also the Force leap ability which lets them jump to any location within short range, so they're getting what amounts to two 10XP Control Upgrades for free.

It's not so bad for using the pregens if you're just doing the beginner box as a one-shot, but it could lead to some issues. If you fully are planning on running games for your players beyond the scope of the beginner box and the follow-up adventure, you might as well just have your players make their characters using the full rules instead, and then taking a note from the Rise of the Separatists and Collapse of the Republic splats and allow the players who want to have their characters start with a proper lightsaber take that as their morality option (in place of getting extra XP and/or extra credits).
