Each player (not GM) rolls a Force Die the result indicates the type and number of 'Destiny Points' that will go into the pool. At the beginning of each session, a 'Destiny Pool' is determined. While the Force may not play a significant part (if any) in an EotE-B campaign, Force Dice are still used. EotE-B characters employing the dark side of the Force must use a Destiny Point (see below) and suffer 'strain' damage.
“Full- fledged Jedi and other powerful Force users suffer unique penalties ” for using dark side results, but – given the scope of EotE-B – those penalties are not discussed. Although the two sides are balanced (each 'side' has a total of eight symbols on the die), it's more likely that any given roll will generate a dark side result (seven dark side faces versus five light side faces).Ī Force-sensitive character can use light side results and dark side results, but there are costs associated with using the dark side. Two faces have one light side symbol each and three faces have two light side symbols each. Six faces have one dark side symbol each and one face has two dark side symbols. Unlike other EotE-B dice, Force Dice to not generate success/failure symbols instead, they generate 'resources' in the form of Force points.Įach side of the Force die has one or two resources represented, either 'light side' symbols (white circles) or 'dark side' symbols (black circles). When a Force-sensitive character attempts to use a Force power, the player rolls a number of Force Dice equal to the character's Force Rating. This provides a Force Rating of 1 through experience, a Force Rating of 2 can be obtained.ĮotE-B describes three Force powers that a Force-sensitive character may use: Sense, Infuence, and Move. ” An EotE-B character can become Force-sensitive by acquiring the “Force-Sensitive Exile ” specialization.
” A Force Rating of 6 has a magnitude of “Formidable ” and the examples given are “Jedi Master ” and “Sith Lord.
A Force Rating of 2 has a magnitude of “Tenuous ” and the examples given are “self-taught exile ” and “Padawan. The third installment of Fantasy Flight Games' Star Wars Roleplaying Game, Force and Destiny (anticipated for 2015), will doubtless supply a more thorough study.įorce-sensitive characters have a 'Force Rating' from 1 to 7. Although EotE-B does not focus on the Force per se, the twelve pages of Chapter VIII are devoted to it providing an introduction as to how game mechanics accommodate the Force. The one Edge of the Empire (Beta)* die that I did not dicuss last week was the Force Die.
