Star Wars RPG by Fantasy Flight Games

Who doesn’t watch the Original Trilogy and want to hop in an X-Wing? The Ace is the place to live out all your space combat dreams. Their skills are pretty much all geared towards flying a ship, shooting down Ties, and making it out alive. Though you are handy with a blaster.

Be ruthless in combat and always find your mark with this career. You’ll gain skills in hand-to-hand combat and weapons, gathering intel, and piloting. Your special abilities help you hunt enemies and destroy them in battle.

As a soldier trained from birth, your skills are pretty straightforward. These boys are good with ranged weapons, can hold their own in a brawl, and stay disciplined under stress. Their special ability makes them naturals at teamwork, especially with their clone brothers. Further specialization lets you become an elite clone like a pilot or ARC Trooper.

The Colonist career might not wield a lightsaber or fly the fastest ship, but they’re great at working their way through the social ladder. They have several knowledge and charm skills, plus the special ability to notice things others often overlook. They can later specialize in medical care or leadership.

Leia is but one example of a Star Wars hero known for their ability to inspire. The Commander has social and observation skills and can still use a blaster. Their special abilities allow you to give rousing speeches and direct subordinates.

These peacemakers use special abilities to easily negotiate with anyone and teach allies to boost their skills. They can lead others and keep a cool head no matter how bad things get. Should danger emerge, they can defend themselves with Force Powers.

This one’s for the players who like talking their way out of a fight. The Diplomat comes with knowledge of many worlds and species as well as negotiation skills. Their signature ability stops combat from breaking out with a few well-spoken words.

The Star Wars FFG Engineer has all the mechanics, computing, and piloting skill you’d expect of the name. This version is more combat trained, however, on account of being part of the Rebellion. Their special ability can destroy large vehicles in seconds.

Explorers are highly-skilled characters like Colonists, but they thrive during space travel. Star Wars FFG Explorers can pilot a spaceship, specialize in several fields of knowledge, and can endure in hostile terrain. They can be a wonderful scout or trader for the group.

The Jedi were guardians as much as peacekeepers, and this career reflects that. You’ll get brawling skills and resilience along with use of the Force. The Guardian’s cool special ability can force a one-on-one Fated Duel with a foe.

The name says it all. You don’t run an independent business like a bounty hunter, so no spaceship of your own, but you don’t care. You can take lots of damage and dish it back out. It’s a great beginner class and plays close to being unstoppable like Chewbacca.

You’re athletic, you stay calm under pressure, you can fly a ship, you get Force powers, and of course, you wield a lightsaber. As this version of the Jedi comes from the Clone Wars, you also get a special ability that represents your knack for deflecting blaster bolts. Enjoy being the coolest, just don’t expect the rank of Master right away.

A Star Wars FFG Mystic gets the mysterious and dangerous power of prophecy. They can get visions of future events via the Force and can sometimes stop them from coming to pass. In more everyday scenarios, they specialize in using their great knowledge to excel in social situations.

If you play a Seeker, you spearhead trips to unknown regions of the galaxy. Your knowledge of alien life and survival skills help in hostile environments, and your piloting skills take the group where they need to go. When things get tough, you have the Force as your ally. The special ability can incapacitate an opponent in one hit.

The Star Wars FFG Sentinel is a protector by name, but their skills tell a more complex story. A Sentinel works well with computers, is a natural deceiver, and can easily pick a pocket without being noticed. Their special abilities give them shady contacts in a city and ensure they always shoot first. They can also use Force powers, but are more susceptible to the Dark Side than other careers.

This career has a talent for getting into trouble and promptly finding their way out of trouble. In fact, their special abilities are tailored towards escape and being lucky. Their more general skills involve observation, deception, and piloting a spaceship.

Battle-hardened warriors at the front line of Rebel military operations. This career gives you melee and weapon combat options galore, but more importantly the endurance to stay in the fight. You can develop medical skills to heal as well as the special ability to keep fighting after severe injury.

Sneaking into an Empire base dressed as Stormtroopers is a classic Star Wars scene. The Spy career lends itself to such endeavors. You’ll of course have stealth, deception, and perception skills, but you’ll also get knowledge of computers to help steal data. Spy special abilities help you fast talk your way out of danger and counter enemy spycraft.

You know those moments in Star Wars when the heroes are being chased by enemy ships but can’t jump to lightspeed because some part is broken? You could be the one to fix the random blinking panel if you play Technician. They can also create just the right gadget for the moment with their special ability.

Wield the Force and kick lots of butt. That’s the warrior in a nutshell. They specialize in melee skills, with a special ability that lets them unleash fury on their poor target. However, a violent path left unchecked can quickly lead to the Dark Side.
