SW:Saga Edition - New player question.

magic8ball

Hi all,

So I've recently joined a group and we're playing Star Wars Saga Edition. We recently gained our first level and I was hoping someone could answer a question. We ended the session late and I wasn't really with it for the discussion after, though I thought I heard something about weapon damage increasing.

Anyway my question is this: I started with a blaster pistol 3d6 damage, now that I'm ECL 2 does that 3d6 damage change?

I'm having a hard time finding anything in the core rules about this - though the core rules aren't really that clear to begin with.

thanks in advance

Peace

I think you add half your level to damage? So, at level 2, it'd be 3d6+1, then at level 4 it'd be 3d6+2, and so on (assuming you keep using that blaster). I believe in Saga, your ranged damage does not include your dexterity modifier, like in D&D for instance. Melee includes half level + Strength, however.

Cool, that kind of makes sense after reading through some of the NPC's stats. thanks for the info
