Microlite20

M20 STAR WARS

STATS
There are three stats: Strength (STR), Dexterity (DEX) and Mind (MND).
Roll 3d6 for each stat. Stat bonus = (Stat - 10)/2 rounded down.

SKILLS
There are five skills: Physical, Subterfuge, Technology, Education & The Force. Skill rank = your level + any bonuses from class or race. Skill check = d20 + skill rank + whatever stat is most applicable against a DC set by the GM. Saving throws are skill checks. (Example: Slicing a computer system might be a Tech + Mnd bonus against a DC of 15).

CLASSES
There are four classes, and all begin at level 1. Each class provides a class ability and a skill modifier.

Soldier: Combat Bonus & +3 Physical
Scoundrel: Sneak attack & +3 Subterfuge
Expert: +3 to Education OR +3 to Technical & pick an Affinity
Jedi: Lightsaber training & +3 to Force skill

Combat Bonus: +1 to all attack and damage rolls. This increases by +1 at level 5 and again at every 5 levels afterwards.
Sneak Attack: Add your rank of subterfuge to the damage against an unsuspecting foe. Usually this requires an opposed DEX + SUB check, and only applies to the first attack.
Affinity: Pick a broad area of specialization, such as medical, piloting, starship repair, survival, or nobility. You can re-roll any checks having to do with this area.
Lightsaber Training: When using a lightsaber, a Jedi uses the Soldier's Combat Bonus to attack and adds 1/2 character level to AC if unarmored. In any round after being shot at with an energy weapon the Jedi can deflect this attack back at attackers like a regular ranged attack but can take no other actions. (The Jedi still takes damage if hit, however- assume that more than one shot was fired for the purposes of deflecting.)

There is an optional page of example Affinities if needed.

RACE
Pick a race for your character. Each race is constructed using two Racial Template Points. 1 RTP is equal to:
-A +1 stat bonus
-Two skill points
-A special trait or ability (usually an Affinity)

There is an optional page of example races if needed.

DROIDS
Droid models are constructed the same as rules as race creation. There is an optional page of example droids and advanced droid rules if needed.


LEVEL ADVANCEMENT
Experience points = hit dice of defeated monsters or situation. Add +1 for each doubling of the number of foes. eg: 1 thug = EL1. 2 thugs = EL2. 4 thugs = EL3, etc. Keep track of your experience points earned and divide this number evenly among the party members at the end of the adventure.

When the total = 10 x your current level, you’ve advanced to the next level. Reset the total to 0 after advancing.

Each level adds:

+1d6 to Hit Points
+1 to all attack rolls
+1 to all skills

If the level divides by three (i.e. level 3,6,9,etc.) add 1 point to STR, DEX or MIND.

Remember, Soldiers gain +1 to their attack and damage rolls at levels 5,10,15,etc.

COMBAT
Hit Points = STR Stat + 1d6/Level. If HP reach 0, unconscious and near death. Further damage directly reduces STR. If that reaches 0, death.

Roll d20 + DEX bonus for initiative order. Everyone can do one thing each turn; move, attack, use the force, etc.

Melee attack bonus = STR bonus + Level (add STR to melee damage)
Ranged attack bonus = DEX bonus + Level
Armor Class (AC) = 10 + DEX bonus + Armor bonus

Add attack bonus to d20 roll. If higher than your opponent's Armour Class (AC), it’s a hit. Natural 20 is automatically a critical doing maximum damage.

Other Hazards
Falling : 1d6 damage per 10', half damage on Phys+DEX save. DC=depth fallen in feet
Spikes : add +1 point to falling damage per 10' fallen, max +10
Poison : Phys+STR save to avoid or for half, depending on poison. Effect varies with poison type.
Extreme Heat & Cold : If not wearing suitable protection, Phys+STR save once every 10 minutes (DC 15, +1 per previous check), taking 1d6 damage on each failed save.


HEALING

Standard Healing: Characters heal their level in HP per hour, or twice this with medical care.

Second Wind: Once per adventure, a character can heal themselves of half their missing HP.

THE FORCE
Although all characters have a Force skill rank, only Jedi characters can use Force powers. Using any Force power costs a flat 4 HP, and requires a skill check (1d20 + Force skill.)

-To attack someone with the Force, make an opposed Force check. If you win, you inflict 1d4/Jedi Level damage. Go ahead and narrate how this happened- did you force push them over a cliff? Fry them with lightning? It's all cosmetic, so make it sound cool.

-To take a non-combat action with the Force, tell the GM what it is you want to do. He'll set a DC, and you make a Force check. Want to force jump from one racing landspeeder to another? Sounds like a DC of 20 to me. Now go for it!

Of course, there are more advanced/structured rules on the force, if needed.

EQUIPMENT
Provided is an optional equipment list for M20SW.

STARSHIPS
Provided are optional rules for starships and starship construction.

*******************************************************************************

See? It doesn't seem so big with all the bells & whistles turned off, huh? Now… Let's turn 'em on. (Reformatted optional pages to follow.)

**************************************************************

OPTIONAL M20 STAR WARS RACES

Racial template formula: Each race is constructed using two Racial Template Points. 1 RTP is equal to:
-A +1 stat bonus
-Two skill points
-A special trait or ability (ussually an Affinity, which lets the player re-roll under certain circumstances.)

Unlike most other games with race selection, players of M20SW are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to play around with the formula themselves to get the feel they want, pending GM approval. Here are some suggestions/guidelines:

Humans: +1 to all skills (except for Force.)

Bothans: +1 Dex & Will Affinity (May re-roll any check involving the willpower of the character.)

Cereans: +2 Mind

Duros: +1 Dex & Pilot Affinity (May re-roll any piloting check once per turn.)

Ewok: +1 Dex & Stealth Affinity (May re-roll any stealh-related check once per turn.)

Gamorreans: +2 Str

Gungans: +2 physical, and Natural Swimmer (Can swim with as much fanfare as other character walk.)

Ithorians: +1 Mind & Nature Affinity (May re-roll a survival check once per turn.)

Kel Dor: +1 Dex, +1 Physical, +1 Force

Mon Calamari: +1 Mind, +2 Education

Quarren: +1 Str & Natural Swimmer (Can swim with as much fanfare as other character walk.)

Rodian: +1 Dex & Tracking Affinity (Can re-roll any check centered around hunting down a specific target.)

Trandoshans: +1 Str & +1 natural AC.

Twi'Lek: +1 Dex & Deceptive Affinity (Can re-roll any check centered around deceiving someone else.)

Wookie: +4 Str; -1 Dex, -1 Mnd (Wookies kind of break the formula a little.)

Zabrak: +1 Dex, +1 Physical, & +1 Technical


***********************************************************

M20 STAR WARS: Expert Class Affinity Explained in More Detail


Affinities
What is an Affinity? It is a narrow area of focus that your Expert has specialized in. Simply put, the character can choose to re-roll any checks made under these circumstances. (They are the same as racial Affinities except the player gets to pick one.)

Example Expert Affinities might include:

Piloting
Medical
Nobility
Droids
Starship repair
Droid repair
(Any technical crafting-like skill)
Computers
Deception
Stealth
Scouting/Survival
Etc… You get the idea

In review:
-The Expert picks a broad area to be good at.
-The Expert can re-roll checks that fall under this area.

What if a player picks an Affinity that their race already provides them with?
Let's say a Duros character is also an Expert with the Piloting Affinity. I would, believe it or not, let the effects stack. That's right. I would let that player re-roll twice if they wanted to!

Sound game-breaking? I disagree. Clearly, that player really wanted to be good at piloting. I say… Let 'em play the kind of character they really wanted. Why not? And hey, it's not like those stacked Affinities will be worth much of anything if they get themselves cornered in the back of some scuzzy cantina… Aye?

Alternately, you could simply rule that a character cannot pick an Affinity that is already granted by their race.

M20 STAR WARS: Gear List

Starting Credits
All characters begin the game with 3d4 x 250 credits, with two exceptions:
-Jedi start the game with 3d4 x 100 credits.
-An Expert with the Nobility Affinity starts the game with 3d4 x 400 credits.

Ion weapons do not deal normal damage. Instead, a droid must roll Physical vs the DC or be shut down. More on this under Droids.

Slugthrower weapons will bounce right off anything in armor heavier than light- no roll needed.

Many weapons in the Star Wars setting can stun instead of kill. To stun, make a normal ranged attack but increase a weapon's number of dice by 1. The target must make a Phys check against this number or be stunned for the number of rounds they missed the roll by. A blaster rifle, for example, could inflict 3d8 stun damage.

NOTE: As a general rule, having equipment simply allows a character to do things they normally would not be able to do. Some gear will grant a +2 circumstance bonus instead. I am not going to outline hard rules about what item has what exact effect, because this seems against the spirit of Microlite20.

*Soldiers do not get their attack bonuses while wearing armor this heavy.

NOTES:
Soldiers can wear any armor, but lose their combat bonus in Assault-class armor.

Scoundrels, Experts, and Jedi can also wear any armor they wish. HOWEVER, these characters cannot use their class abilities while wearing anything other than light armor.
In other words…

-A Scoundrel wearing combat armor cannot make a sneak attack, because it is a medium armor.
-A Jedi wearing a Corellian Powersuit does not have access to the force, because it is a heavy armor.
-An expert wearing a flight suit can still use her Affinity, because it is a light armor. However, she could not use her Affinity while wearing Stormtrooper armor.
-A Soldier wearing Heavy Assault Armor does not get his combat bonuses, because the armor is too damn bulky. But really, if a hero needs frackin' Heavy Assult Armor to get through an adventure, it may be time to have a word with the GM anyway.

NOTE: Oh, yeah, ignore all the who-can-wear-what stuff if it slows down the game.



***********************************************************

M20 STAR WARS: Advanced Force Option

The Force skill
The Force skill measures a character's mastery of the Force. Although all characters have a Force skill rating, only Jedi characters can use Force powers. Using any Force power costs a flat 4 HP, and requires a skill check (1d20 + Force skill.)

How many force powers do I get?
The number of Force powers a Jedi gets is really between the apprentice and his master- in other words, a Jedi has whatever powers his master has decided he is ready to learn. Are you playing a reckless Jedi? Don't be surprised if your master won't show you any new tricks. Are you a responsible Jedi who adheres to the Jedi Code? Your master might teach you everything he knows in short order. Additionally, the number of powers a Jedi knows can change dramatically between eras of play.

In short, the number of powers you get is between you and the GM. I would say that all Jedi start with at least one power, and lean a new one every one or two levels after that. You might have a different take on the matter, such as requiring the Jedi to complete certain quests before gaining accesses to some Force powers. This could actually be an ongoing source of adventure ideas.

USING THE FORCE IN COMBAT
Using the force in combat involves a simple opposed skill check. If the Jedi succeeds, the attack works as described. If not, the Jedi lost their concentration, or his opponent resisted, got out of the way, etc. (The Jedi still loses the 4 HP, but his opponent suffers no ill effects.)

Using the Force on multiple targets
Whenever appropriate (all Force powers except Battlemind, Negate, Surge, and Farsee) the Jedi can elect to attack/affect multiple targets at once in one turn. Each extra target after the first imposes a -2 penalty to the Force check, and these penalties stack. So, attacking 5 targets at once with Force Push would incur a -8 penalty on each separate check that turn. In addition, the Jedi exerts 1HP for every target after the first in addition to the 4HP cost upfront. (So attacking those five targets not only incurs a -8 penalty, but also nets 8 points of HP loss.) As you can see, it is better to leave the spectacular displays of destruction to the Jedi Masters.


FORCE POWER LIST
Force Push: (Force vs Physical) Force Push inflicts 1d4/Level damage, and knocks the opponent to the ground. The opponent suffers a -4 to AC until they use a turn getting back on their feet.

Battlemind: (1d20 + Force) For every 10 points rolled on a single Force check, the Jedi gains a +1 to attack, damage, and AC for the remainder of the fight scene. This check cannot be re-rolled for the duration of that scene. (EX: A Jedi with Force 7 who rolls a 12 would get a +1 combat and AC bonus. If she had rolled 13 the bonuses would be +2.)

Negate Energy: (Defensive action) By burning the standard 4HP, the Jedi can negate the damage from one energy source. Unlike other Force powers, the Jedi can Negate as many attacks per round as he has HP to burn without the multiple target penalty. However, he loses his next turn in the process. (In other words, to negate two different blaster bolts would cost 8HP, and the next combat action would be lost!)

NOTE: Negate can be used to resist damage outside of combat as well. For example, a Jedi could burn 4HP and walk though fire, or a radiated control room. Outside of combat, the effect still only lasts one turn. Note that Negate would be no help against bullets or spears and such.

Force Grip: (Force vs Physical) The target suffers 1d6/Level damage. Using this power will result in a Dark Side Point.

Force Lightning: (Force vs Force) The target suffers 1d6/Level damage. Using this power will result in a Dark Side Point.

Stun Droid: (1d20 + Force) Treat the check result as Ion attack damage which the droid must save against or shut down.

Mind Trick: (Force vs Level + Mind bonus)
Not really a combat power, but it is an opposed check. If successful, the target treats the Jedi's suggestion as though it were amazingly reasonable. (The GM can impose harsher penalties for over-the-top or ridiculous Mind Trick attempts.)


USING THE FORCE OUTSIDE OF COMBAT
Using the Force outside of combat is a simple matter of rolling a Force skill check against a DC set by the GM.

Here are some general guidelines:

DC 5 Easy task
DC 10 Average task
DC 15 Hard task
DC 20 Difficult task
DC 25 Very difficult task
DC 30 Epic task

Remember that what one group considers a "difficult task" another group might think of as a "hard task" depending on their concept of the Jedi. This is fine.


FORCE POWER LIST
Move Object: The Jedi can move an object with the power of his mind.

NOTE: Remember when Luke pulled his X-wing out of the swamp? I would make that a Difficult task check. You might not, and that's okay.

NOTE: If used to inflict damage against a target in combat (say, by picking them up, slamming them about, and dropping them) treat Move Object as a regular opposed Force Push attack, except that the target can be moved in any direction instead of just away from you. That way, damage from falling, hitting walls, etc is already cosmetically covered.

Surge: The Jedi can move at super-human speeds and leap amazing distances.

NOTE: Remember in the battle with Darth Maul how all three characters jump from high platform to platform? I'd make that a hard task check. You might not, and that's okay.


Farseeing: The Jedi can glimpse visions of far away places.


THE DARK SIDE
Every time a Jedi breaks the Jedi Code or does something evil, they gain a Dark Side Point. When the Jedi has DSPs equal to or greater than their Mind attribute, they are lost to the dark side.

NOTE: What is an evil act? Simple. An evil act is whatever the GM says it is. However, the GM must warn you before you are about to commit an action which will result in a DSP. You can't get one on accident.

NOTE: You want to play a dark side character? No problem. Just make sure the GM is on board with this.

NOTE: You want to be redeemed for you past misdeeds? No problem. There is no mechanical system for this, you and the GM just need to work it out through roleplaying. This can actually spawn great future adventure seeds.


DESIGN NOTES: At the bargain price of 4 HP per power use, Jedi characters start weak but slowly become indomitable machines of destruction as they gain levels and become feared and respected throughout the galaxy. I assure you, this was no accident of design- this is exactly how the Jedi are portrayed in Star Wars media. As for game balance, remember that the Jedi class is balanced more through roleplaying than game mechanics (strict Jedi Code, Dark Side Points, attracts more unwanted attention, etc…)



***********************************************************************

M20 STAR WARS: Optional Droid Rules

Droids have levels like characters, but can only be Soldiers or Experts. Droids do not receive stat increases every three levels like other characters, but in return they are immune to mind-influencing powers and other physiological conditions which living creatures find problematic of fatal (use common sense.) Additionally, droids never age or die as long as they maintain themselves decently. Droids have no Force skill ability.

Most human-sized droids have flat a "10" in all stats. Some droids will have varied stats depending on what they were built for and how expensive/cheap they are.

Some droids have a special programming, such as knowing all languages or star charts of the galaxy. In actual practice, these are little more than superficial ways of moving the plot along and have no additional cost.

NOTE: I'm using the standard NPC D8 to calculate droid hit points. If created as a heroic player character or NPC, a droid use the standard STR + 1d6/level.

Custom droid creation works exactly as race creation, using two Racial Template Points for each model. Some example templates might include:

3P0 Series Protocol Droid: +4 to Education (Yes, this will take the droid to insane levels of educational competence when paired with the Expert class- as it should be.)

B1 Series Battle Droid: +1 Dexterity & +2 to Physical

R2 Series Astomech Droid: +2 Technical & Piloting Affinity

B2 Series Super Battle Droid: +2 AC bonus

Droideka Destroyer Droid: Extra Mount (droid can hold two heavy weapons at once and fire them without penalty) & Alternate Form (roller ball form.)

COST: 21,000


Droids and Ion attacks: If attacked with an Ion weapon, the droid must roll a Physical check against the DC or be shut down. To reactivate a droid is an average Tech check. Some droids will automatically reactivate when enough time has passes.

Droids and healing: Forget complicated repair rules- A damaged droid with access to a repair kit or station heals like a normal character. A droid without access to these things simply does not heal. Other characters with a droid repair kit can heal a droid the way medical kits work on living characters.

These are simply my notes for how I plan to run things at my table. Players and GMs are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to tinker around with the droid template formula and class combinations to create something that feels right for them.

M20 STAR WARS: ANTAGONISTS OF THE GALAXY

Antagonists for M20SW are created in the usual M20 way:

1. Assign hit dice (1d8 for most things.)
2. Attack bonus & skill level = number of hit dice.
3. Modify for attributes
4. Modify for gear

An antagonist is worth its hit dice in experience points. Special attacks/abilities increase this by level up per ability.

NOTE: I do not play Microlite with reiterative attacks, to keep things smooth and simple. To add them back in, just go by the regular reiterative attack rules.

*The Rancor can make two attacks without penalty per round


NOTE: Why the weak Stormtroopers?

One of the most definitive and unbreakable laws of Star Wars is that Stormtroopers always go down in one hit in the movies, and can't hit a damn thing with their blasters. Not some of the time. All the time. Yet, very few Star Wars games seem to take this into consideration. I hate that. My philosophy is that Stormtroopers are feared thoughout the Galaxy for their numbers, gear, training, and devotion rather than their individual strength.

Don't like it? Change it. That's what Microlight 20 is all about!

Alright, folks, now I just need Starships, and that's it.

Take your critical shots now, before I go to PDF form!

Reposted from the 1st thread...

Damn, you've hauled ass with this. I like it!

Jar-Jar, a Gungan Sith! I think I might use him as my next campaign's nemesis...

Great work! I agree with Darth Cestual; the modular format is very useful and appropriate.

I also concur with Slortar. You have hauled ass! While the rest of us were just throwing around ideas, you were creating an entire role playing game... and it works!

- Dr. Bull

Sorry I'm late to the discussion - tried to catch up on the other thread too, but I'm sure I missed a lot there.

I am just wondering - had anyone considered using the 4x5 magic optional rules to handle force powers? If that's already been discussed - what was the general thinking? (or just link me to the previous discussion if it's there, that's cool too).

With 4x5, you don't have a spell list to worry about, so the Jedi player still has the "in" to describe how they are using the force with some freedom in each case.

I think the lighter way of doing it as presented by the OP is cool too...I see why you'd want to bring in the narrative side of how that works, to allow more freedom for the players. I am just thinking that for my group - we are pretty old school, and most of us aren't up on the more free-narrative style of play that could involve. So just for my own group - I am thinking about using 4x5 magic for the force powers, but I'm wondering if anybody found issues with that they might share so I can get up to speed on the pros/cons quickly.

Thanks!

Oh, at one point I had seriously considered using the 4x5 magic system to emulate the Force. I'm pretty sure you could use that instead of the system from M20SW and the game would work just fine. Microlite 20 is awesome that way.

In fact, if you try that, let me know how it goes so I can cite it as an alternative system in the PDF. Remember, M20SW is just Microlite 20 wearing a Yoda mask- anything that works in a regular M20 game should work with M20SW just fine.

Also, I'd like to mention that although I have run a few mechanical simulations, it will be at least a month before I can playtest these rules with a live group.

If anyone else beats me to it, let me know what works and what doesn't in actual play.
