Star Wars Roleplaying Game (Wizards Of The Coast)
The ''Star Wars Roleplaying Game'' is a d20 System roleplaying game set in the ''Star Wars'' universe. The game was written by Bill Slavicsek, Andy Collins and J. D. Wiker and published by Wizards of the Coast in late 2000 and revised in 2002. In 2007, Wizards released the '' Saga Edition'' of the game, which made major changes in an effort to streamline the rules system. The game covers three major eras coinciding with major events in the ''Star Wars'' universe, namely the Rise of the Empire, the Galactic Civil War, and the time of the New Jedi Order. An earlier but unrelated ''Star Wars'' role-playing game was published by West End Games between 1987 and 1999. Bill Slavicsek was one of the designers of that former game as well. This game from Wizards of the Coast is currently out of print. The current official ''Star Wars'' role-playing game is the game of same title published by Fantasy Flight Games.

The Phantom Menace
''The'' is a grammatical article in English, denoting nouns that are already or about to be mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words. It is derived from gendered articles in Old English which combined in Middle English and now has a single form used with nouns of any gender. The word can be used with both singular and plural nouns, and with a noun that starts with any letter. This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers. Pronunciation In most dialects, "the" is pronounced as (with the voiced dental fricative followed by a schwa) when followed by a consonant sound, and as (homophone of the archaic pronoun ''thee'' ...

Ewok
The Ewoks (singular: Ewok) are a fictional species of small, furry, mammaloid, bipeds in the ''Star Wars'' universe. They inhabit the forest moon of Endor and live in arboreal huts and other simple dwellings, being seen as primitive in comparison with other sentient species. Ewoks debuted in the 1983 feature film '' Return of the Jedi'' and have since appeared in two made-for-television films, '' The Ewok Adventure'' (1984) and '' Ewoks: The Battle for Endor'' (1985), as well as a 2D animated series, several books and games, and briefly in the 2019 feature film '' Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker''. Concept and creation George Lucas created the Ewoks because he wanted '' Return of the Jedi'' to feature a tribe of primitive creatures that bring down the technological Empire. He had originally intended the scenes to be set on the Wookiee home planet, but as the film series evolved, the Wookiees became technologically skilled. Lucas reversed the syllables to designate a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Feat (d20 System)
The d20 System is a role-playing game system published in 2000 by Wizards of the Coast, originally developed for the 3rd edition of ''Dungeons & Dragons''. The system is named after the 20-sided dice which are central to the core mechanics of many actions in the game. Much of the d20 System was released as the System Reference Document (SRD) under the Open Game License (OGL) as Open Game Content (OGC), which allows commercial and non-commercial publishers to release modifications or supplements to the system without paying for the use of the system's associated intellectual property, which is owned by Wizards of the Coast. The original impetus for the open licensing of the d20 System involved the economics of producing role-playing games (RPGs). Game supplements suffered significantly more diminished sales over time than the core books required to play the game. Ryan Dancey, brand manager for ''Dungeons & Dragons'' at the time, directed the effort of licensing the new editio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Experience Point
An experience point (often abbreviated as exp or XP) is a unit of measurement used in some tabletop role-playing games (RPGs) and role-playing video games to quantify a player character's life experience and progression through the game. Experience points are generally awarded for the completion of objectives, overcoming obstacles and opponents, and successful role-playing. In many RPGs, characters start as fairly weak and untrained. When a sufficient amount of experience is obtained, the character "levels up", achieving the next stage of character development. Such an event usually increases the character's statistics, such as maximum health, magic and strength, and may permit the character to acquire new abilities or improve existing ones. Levelling up may also give the character access to more challenging areas or items. In some role-playing games, particularly those derived from '' Dungeons & Dragons'', experience points are used to improve characters in discrete experience ...

Character Class
In tabletop games and video games, a character class is an occupation, profession, or role assigned to a game character to highlight and differentiate their capabilities and specializations. In role-playing games (RPGs), character classes aggregate several abilities and aptitudes, and may also detail aspects of background and social standing, or impose behavior restrictions. Classes may be considered to represent archetypes, or specific careers. RPG systems that employ character classes often subdivide them into levels of accomplishment, to be attained by players during the course of the game. It is common for a character to remain in the same class for its lifetime; although some games allow characters to change class, or attain multiple classes. Some systems eschew the use of classes and levels entirely; others hybridize them with skill-based systems or emulate them with character templates. In shooter games and other cooperative video games, classes are generally distinct ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Attribute (role-playing Games)
An attribute is a piece of data (a "statistic") that describes to what extent a fictional character in a role-playing game possesses a specific natural, in-born characteristic common to all characters in the game. That piece of data is usually an abstract number or, in some cases, a set of dice. Some games use different terms to refer to an attribute, such as statistic, (primary) characteristic or ability. A number of role-playing games like ''Fate'' do not use attributes at all. The nature of attributes There is no uniform consensus on what ability scores are, even if many role-playing games have them, but games that use them have a common theme. According to the BBC Cult TV website "''All characters have Attributes — basic physical and mental abilities.''" and in the ''Pathfinder Roleplaying Game'' "''Each character has six ability scores that represent his character's most basic attributes. They are his raw talent and prowess. While a character rarely rolls a check usin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
