The ''Saga Edition Core Rulebook'' includes statistics from all of the ''Star Wars'' films as well as the [[Expanded Universe]]. Significant changes from the previous rules system include:
−
<br />'''(1)''' Utilization of a "Use the Force" skill with a simpler Force system.

#Utilization of a single "Use the Force" skill with a simpler [[the Force|Force]] system instead of having a skill for each Force power.
−
<br />'''(2)''' Compressing skills into more compact categories (i.e. spot and listen have been removed in favor of a perception skill, etc.).
 +
#Combining skills together (e.g. "spot" and "listen" have been combined into a single "perception" skill).
−
<br />'''(3)''' Merging of the two base Jedi character classes and removal of the fringer, force adept (which became a prestige class), and tech specialist character classes (the tech specialist returned as a Talent Tree in a Wizards of the Coast web supplement).
 +
#Merging of [[Jedi Consular]] and [[Jedi Guardian]] into a single base Jedi character class, as well as the merging of the [[fringer]], [[Force Adept]], and [[tech specialist]] character classes into the 5 base classes.
−
<br />'''(4)''' Character talent trees to allow diverse character concepts to be available through the various base and prestige classes.

Saga Edition is based on the d20 system, which uses a twenty-sided die for most of its core mechanics - such as skill checks and attack rolls. For damage rolls, health, and starting credits, other dice are used, such as ten-sided, four-sided, six-sided, and twelve-sided dice.

Unlike the fourth-edition RPG Dungeons and Dragons (which is published by the same company), there are only five base classes. These are the [[Jedi]] class (though generally used for actual Jedi, the class is also occasionally used for [[force sensitives]] of similar skills), the [[Noble]] class, which is primarily buffing and social skills, with low-level combat abilities and health. In addition, there is the [[Scoundrel]] class, which offers the ability to focus on certain skills (such as [[slicing]]), as well as debuffing abilities. The scoundrel is usually seen as the 'Han Solo' of the group. Complementing the specialization of the other classes is the well-rounded [[Scout]] class. For the main combat and tanking role, the [[Soldier]] class is used. There are also Prestige Classes, which allow more specialization and defenses, in return for fewer feats (which are essentially special abilities or talents in the game). These can only be taken after the characters have progressed at least somewhat (usually around seventh level).

Unlike the fourth-edition RPG Dungeons and Dragons (which is published by the same company), there are only five base classes: Jedi, Noble, Scout, Scoundrel, and Soldier. The [[Jedi]] class is proficient with [[lightsaber combat]] and use of the Force. Although generally used for actual Jedi, the class is also occasionally used for other [[Force-sensitive]]s of similar skills such as [[Sith]] or [[Jensaarai]]. The [[Noble]] class is primarily focused on social skills such as deception and persuasion, as well as the ability to boost their allies. However, they have low combat abilities. The [[Scoundrel]] class offers the ability to focus on various skills such as computer [[slicing]], [[pilot]]ing, stealth, and [[mechanics]], as well as abilities that impede their opponents. The scoundrel is usually seen as the "[[Han Solo]]" of the group. The [[Scout (profession)|Scout]] class can focus on [[Explorer|exploration]], tracking, survival, stealth, or piloting. The [[Soldier]] class is highly proficient at combat, with the ability to use a variety of weapons and [[armor]]. There are also Prestige Classes which can be selected at higher levels. These allow for greater specialization of abilities.<ref name="Saga Edition Core Rulebook">''[[Roleplaying Game: Saga Edition Core Rulebook]]''</ref>

Released on June 5, 2007, the game system was an update and overhaul of the previous Star Wars Roleplaying Game. Previous versions of the Core Rulebook include the Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook (2000) and the Roleplaying Game Revised Core Rulebook (2002).

The Saga Edition Core Rulebook includes statistics from all of the Star Wars films as well as the Expanded Universe. Significant changes from the previous rules system include:

  1. Utilization of a single "Use the Force" skill with a simpler Force system instead of having a skill for each Force power.
  2. Combining skills together (e.g. "spot" and "listen" have been combined into a single "perception" skill).
  3. Merging of Jedi Consular and Jedi Guardian into a single base Jedi character class, as well as the merging of the fringer, Force Adept, and tech specialist character classes into the 5 base classes.
  4. Character talent trees to allow diverse character concepts to be available through the various base and prestige classes.
  5. Removal of the vitality/wound point (VP/WP) system in favor of a more conventional hit point (HP) system for combat.
  6. A revised combat system to make combat run faster, particularly at higher levels.
  7. The introduction of a new "Condition track" which represents a character's health status such as injury, fatigue, poison, stun, and morale.

Many combat examples in the book have been illustrated using Star Wars Miniatures pieces in place of characters.

Basic Summary

Saga Edition is based on the d20 system, which uses a twenty-sided die for most of its core mechanics, such as determining the outcome of skill checks and attack rolls. For damage rolls, health, and starting credits, other dice are used, such as ten-sided, four-sided, six-sided, and twelve-sided dice.

Unlike the fourth-edition RPG Dungeons and Dragons (which is published by the same company), there are only five base classes: Jedi, Noble, Scout, Scoundrel, and Soldier. The Jedi class is proficient with lightsaber combat and use of the Force. Although generally used for actual Jedi, the class is also occasionally used for other Force-sensitives of similar skills such as Sith or Jensaarai. The Noble class is primarily focused on social skills such as deception and persuasion, as well as the ability to boost their allies. However, they have low combat abilities. The Scoundrel class offers the ability to focus on various skills such as computer slicing, piloting, stealth, and mechanics, as well as abilities that impede their opponents. The scoundrel is usually seen as the "Han Solo" of the group. The Scout class can focus on exploration, tracking, survival, stealth, or piloting. The Soldier class is highly proficient at combat, with the ability to use a variety of weapons and armor. There are also Prestige Classes which can be selected at higher levels. These allow for greater specialization of abilities.[1]
