Hey guys, this just a general question about how credits work in the EOTE, is there such thing as credit cards in this setting? Reason I asked is because im playing a thief character and i wanted to steal peoples credit cards to come up with easy money/credit.
Also I was a pretty big fan of sabacc or pazaak back in KOTOR, how would you translate that into the game dice? (as in what would you roll when playing someone far and square)
Also say im playing someone in sabacc or pazaak and I wanted to cheat to win using Skulduggery, what would I roll?

When playing SAGA Star Wars, my players often looted cred chips. I made them crack the chips using computer skill to actually transfer the credits. Failure often meant the chip was destroyed and sometimes meant authorities may have been alerted.

Without FTL communications you can probably only draw on funds held in local banks. Credit Sticks might be some form of electronic currency that you can carry around. So you can draw money from a bank on to a credit stick. Then you take the stick with you on a ship and thanks to some clever maths, a bank on the new world can tell that the money is genuine without needing to ask the first bank.

Being able to break the system and create new electronic money from nothing would clearly crash the galactic economy, and hence would make a good macguffin for adventure.
