Core Rulebook announced to be out July 5

By Nashable, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

I think it is good to have a complete stat block with all the cool stuff your bbeg can do… but on the page with the combat stats I want to see only what is useful in the encounter. He might have Summon Cats 2, but if there are no cats on the bridge of the starship where the encounter is, I don't really need it. However, if the bbeg gets away and becomes a thorn in the side of the PC throughout the campaign, then I want access to the complete stats. I might have the bbeg lure the PCs to a planet overflowing with cats. Then, there will be lots of scratches.

did the Forsaken Jedi in the Beta book have the Lightsabre skill? I haven't got the book with me at the moment to check. if not, it's not a copy/paste… this new FJ has Lightsabre 4.

Yes he did. It is not a copy/paste error from the Beta book as he has been somewhat updated. He has the Adversary talent and his wound and strain thresholds have been changed (increased). There is an error in his defense stats as it shows he has defense 2 for melee and 1 for ranged while the weapon qualities are reversed.

Very excited to get this book in my hands, especially because I want to see how much of the beta feedback was incorporated.

My LGS will have one for me in store on the 4th reir

Am I right, the book has 468 pages???
