CHAPTER 3: ACTION
Combat
Combat is an important part of Star Wars.
Scenes of blaster fighting soldiers through futuristic
cities or lightsaber duels on the edge of a perilous
cliff are the heart and soul of the genre. The rules
for combat are pretty much the same for everything
else: you roll your dice against a Target Number and
compare the result. It's when we get to results that
things start to get complicated.
Initiative
At the start of a combat round, you roll a number
of dice equal to your Reflexes+Heroic Rank. This is
your Initiative Roll, and the dice explode normally.
After the Initiative Roll, you will choose to keep a
number of Dice equal to your Force Rim. These are
your Action Dice. If the sum of your Reflexes+Heroic
Rank is lower than your Force Rim, you get the dif­
ference in extra Actions showing Turn 1.
The numbers shown on the Action Dice are the
Turns in which you will get to act. If you roll the
same number on more than one Action Die, you will
simply be able to act more than once during that
Turn.
Example 3.9: Rod-Mon, a rank 2 Scoundrel has
Reflexes 4 and Force 3. Therefore, he rolls 6 dice on
his Initiative Roll and chooses 3 at the start of every
combat round. In this instance, he rolls a 7, a 2, a 5,
a 4, a 9 and a 0. The 0 explodes, and becomes a 14.
This means that Rodriguez will get to act in Turns
14, 9 and 7.
Next, your GM will begin to count down from the
highest Turn rolled, until he reaches Turn 1. When he
calls a Turn in which you get to act, you may do one
of two things with each die showing the current
Turn:
 Spend the Action Die in order to act in that
Turn.
EXAMPLE ACTIONS
Free Actions Simple Actions
Draw a weapon (small) Draw a weapon(medium or large)
Speak (up to five words) Move Action (Grace x3m)
Move Action (Grace x1m) Dismount a Dewback
Drop a weapon/item Guard someone (see Raises)
Pick up a weapon/item
Speak (more than five words)
Stand up (from Prone)
7
Leave the Action Die where it is, making it a

Held Action. (Held Actions will be explained in
just a moment.)
If more than one Hero or NPC wants to perform
an Action in the same Turn, each adds up all his cur­
rent Action Dice to get a number known as the Ini­
tiative Total. Note that Action Dice that have already
been spent do not count towards the Initiative Total.
The character with the highest Initiative Total goes
first. If there is a tie, the character with the highest
Reflexes goes first.
When the GM reaches Turn 1 everyone must use
all their remaining Action Dice or lose them. Once all
Action Dice on the table are spent or forfeited, a new
Round begins, and the process starts all over again.
Held Actions: Once you've held an Action, it
remains on the table. It is considered to match any
later Turn called, but the number showing on the die
doesn't change. This is important when adding up
your Initiative Total.
Interrupt Actions: If you didn't roll high on Ini­
tiative, but you really need to get your Action off
before the bad guys, you can perform an Interrupt
Action. You exchange any two Action Dice showing
later Turns for one Action Die showing the current
Turn. You must still compare Initiative Totals if some­
one else wants to act in this Turn to determine who
goes first, but at least you have a chance to act. You
cannot use an Interrupt Action to make an attack,
but you can use it to perform an Active Defense or
assume a Full Defense.
ACTIONS
During a combat Round, every character may
take Actions on their Turn. Although many circum­
stances can limit what kind of Actions they may
take, in general a character may take one of the two
following options:
 One Complex Action + Free Actions
 Two Simple Actions + Free Actions
 Start a Full-Round Action + Free Actions
Complex Actions
Make an attack
(melee or ranged)
Activate a Force Power
Reload an Empty Blaster
Close the Gap (in melee)
Mount a Dewback

Free Actions are minor activities that do not dis­
rupt a character’s ability to perform other tasks dur­
ing the course of their Turn. Unless otherwise speci­
fied, a character may only perform each Free Action
listed on the table below a maximum of once per
Round.
Simple Actions are tasks that require more of a
character's time, but are not so complicated that he
is not capable of taking more than one action at a
time.
Complex Actions are elaborate or time-consuming
efforts that require all of a character’s attention in
order to complete.
A Full-Round Action is not more complicated than
a Complex Action, but one that takes an amount of
time that is unaffected by the character's speed to
do it (such as retrieving information from a
terminal). A character must spend an Action Die to
start a Full-Round action, but once started the Action
is completed only in the following Round, during the
same Turn in which it was started. While completing
a Full Round action, the character may take other
actions, as long as they don't interfere with him per­
forming his current action.
Example: Jus-saki is slicing into a DataNet termi­
nal. While he does it, Sia-Lan jumps trough a win­
dow pursued by a group of droids. While slicing into
the terminal, Jus-saki can use a Complex Action to
shoot the droids with his blaster or a Simple Action
to hide behind a desk with the terminal's keyboard,
but if he steps away from the terminal to fight the
droids, he forgoes slicing the terminal and must
start again later.
CHAPTER 3: ACTION
the room to another, and a Scoundrel might run
across a hallway to shoot a group of Stormtroopers
and take cover on the other side. This is normal
movement during a round.
However, use some common sense when moving
around. A bunch of guards aren't going to let a Hero
just walk around them to get to the Villain they are
protecting. But if the Hero can use Athletics or Acro­
batics to jump over their heads and drop down
behind them, that's an entirely different scenario.
This applies to NPCs as well. If a Hero has blocked a
stairway to protect another Hero's retreat out of the
fight, the Villain can't just ignore the dramatic stand
that Hero is making.
Attack and Defense
MAKING AN ATTACK
When you spend an Action Die, you may choose
to attack an opponent with that Action. You roll
Accuracy/Skill (for the weapon or fighting style being
used). This is known as your Attack Roll; remember
its total for the next step. If you roll equal to or
higher than your opponent's TN to be Hit, you are
going to hit him, unless your opponent uses an
Active Defense successfully.
TN to be Hit: Your TN to be Hit is equal to 5 +
your Reflexes x 5, plus any bonuses you may have
from Skills, Advantages or other
sources. This is the TN that your
enemies are usually rolling
against in order to hit you.

Movement
Characters can move a certain amount per
round depending upon the Action or Actions
they devote to that task. Actions corre­
spond to the following movement rates:
Free Action: A number of spaces equal
to the character’s Grace.
Simple Action: A number of spaces
equal to the character’s Grace x2.
Complex Action: A number of
spaces equal to the character's
Grace x5, but only in a straight
line.
Characters have a lot of
freedom to move during com­
bat. Star Wars R&K
encourages this to
make combat more
dynamic, as it is in
the movies. A Jedi
Knight may jump
from one side of

8
CHAPTER 3: ACTION
ACTIVE DEFENSE
Once the attacker has rolled equal to or higher
than your TN to be hit, you get one last chance to
avoid the damage. First, you must spend an Action
Die showing this Turn. You then make your Active
Defense roll. Your TN is the attacker's Attack Roll -5.
If your roll equals or exceeds the TN, you have suc­
cessfully avoided all damage from that attack. You
may use Held Actions or Interrupt Actions to pay for
an Active Defense roll.
What you roll as your Active Defense depends on
the type of attack that was made against you:
Melee Attacks: Accuracy/Defense (Active Defense)
Area Attacks: Reflexes/Athletics (Jump)
You can't perform an Active Defense against a
Ranged Attack (with the obvious exceptions of Jedi
using the Deflect ability). You can use the Full
Defense action to protect yourself from ranged
attacks though.
FULL DEFENSE
You turn every effort toward self-preservation,
moving slowly and watching all enemies for any sign
of attack. You make an Reflexes/Defense Skill roll
and add the result to your TN to Be Hit. This bonus
can apply only to a number of opponents equal to
your Force Rim and of which you are aware, and
cannot be used against an unseen enemy. The bonus
of your Full Defense lasts until you decide to take
any different Action other than a Free Action (per­
forming an Active Defense doesn't remove you from
Full Defense).
If you perform any actions illegal during Full
Defense or move more than a Free Action, you lose
the benefits of Full Defense.
LYING PRONE AND GETTING UP
While you are lying on the ground, your TN to be
Hit drops to 5, and you must make two Raises in
order to use your Active Defense (see Active
Defense, below). It takes one Simple Action to stand
up, and during the Turn you are standing up, your
TN to be Hit remains a 5 and you cannot use any
Active Defense.
Alternatively, you can try to attack at the same
time as you stand up, as a Complex Action. It is a
risky maneuver, but it may work. First, you must
make 2 Raises on your attack. If you fail, you remain
prone. If you succeed, you stand up, but you remain
unbalanced and your TN to be Hit remains 5 until the
start of the next Turn.
9
RAISES
As with any Skill Roll, Raises may be declared in
combat for additional effect. The risk of using Raises
during combat can be much greater than normal. as
a great deal of the time you will have no idea what
TN you are rolling against. Raises can be used in
combat for any of the following effects.
CALLED SHOT (VARIABLE RAISES)
Called shots inflict no additional damage
(Increased Damage Raises are, in effect, called shots
aimed at such a result), but might have additional
effects depending on the situation. A vain enemy
might become enraged by a called shot to his face.
An opponent standing on one leg might fall if an
attack is directed to that leg. A specific limb can be
targeted with 1 Raise, a hand or foot with 2 Raises,
the head with 3 Raises, or an eye, ear, finger, or
other similarly small part with 4 Raises. There is no
specific mechanical effect for striking a particular
body part in this manner, although individual GMS
may rule that a certain amount of damage may
sever or destroy the body part in question, and any
items held or worn on that part may be dropped or
destroyed.
EXTRA ATTACK (5 RAISES)
There are very few ways to perform two attacks
in one Action. This Maneuver allows anyone to gain
an extra attack per Action Die, however, as long as
they have the skill necessary to pull it off. To gain an
additional attack, a character must make 5 success­
ful Raises on the first attack roll. These Raises confer
no benefits, but if they succeed, the character may
immediately make a second attack roll as soon as
the first attack has been resolved (including dam­
age).
The Extra Attack Maneuver may only be used
once per Action. The initial attack in this Maneuver
must be successful, but the second may miss with­
out affecting the first.
GUARD (0 RAISES)
Guard is a unique combat Action that does not
actually require an attack roll. However, it has been
placed here for convenience, since it is used only in
combat. During a skirmish, a character can choose
to dedicate himself to protecting another character,
making it harder for enemies to attack that person.
Guarding is a Simple Action. When you declare a
Guard Action, you must designate one other person
within 2m of you. Until your next Turn, any time that
person is within 2m of you, their Armor TN is
increased by 10 and your Armor TN is decreased by
5.

INCREASED DAMAGE (1 OR MORE RAISES)
You may declare a Raise on an attack roll to
increase your damage on that attack. A single Raise
increases your damage by 1k0. Two Raises increases
your damage by 1k1. You may make any number of
such Raises on a single attack roll, up to your normal
maximum.
Unarmed Combat
When engaging in unarmed melee combat, you
inflict (Strength)k1 damage. There are no additional
penalties for using unarmed combat against armed
opponents, as many weapons already offer powerful
advantages (like superior damage) against an
unarmed combatant. With that said, a typical Star
Wars fight will include lots of kicks, punches and
throws. The Martial Arts skill allows for many Knacks
that, while less damaging, give many interesting
options to use during a fight.
Damage and
Wounds
When you successfully
strike an opponent, the
damage dealt is deter­
mined by the weapon
CHAPTER 3: ACTION
you are wielding and your own Strength. Each
weapon has a Damage Rating (DR), which partially
defines the amount of damage it does. A weapon's
damage is described in a manner similar to the fol­
lowing:
Vibroblade DR: 4k2
To determine the number of Wounds inflicted on
the enemy, add your Strength to the number of dice
rolled by your weapon, then roll normally. For exam­
ple, a character with 3 Strength wielding a DR 3k2
Vibroblade inflicts 6k2 damage. 10's explode nor­
mally on damage rolls.
Force Points may not be spent on damage rolls.
However, strategic expenditure of Force Points can
make it much easier for you to successfully make
Raises for additional damage.
Step 1 - Wounds
All damage is subtracted from the target's
Wounds. Wounds are divided into seven levels, each
of which contains a number of Wounds equal to the
character’s Stamina x 2. Any time you take more
Wounds than you have on a given level, you drop
down to the next level and suffer the appropriate
penalties to movement and TNs. You reduce the
penalties listed here by your rank in Willpower, with
the possibility of taking no penalty on some Wound
Ranks.
Note that your movement can be reduced to zero
through these penalties, in which case you are so
overcome by your wounds that you can no longer
walk (though you might still be able to fight).
HEALTHY (0)
At this level you are basically unharmed and
suffer no penalties.
BRUISED (-5)
You are mildly injured and
get a -5 penalty on all rolls.
GRAZED (-8)
You have taken some dam­
age, but are still functioning
reasonably well. You get a -8
penalty on all rolls.
HURT (-12)
At this level the pain begins
to interfere with your ability to
move. You get a -12 penalty on
10
CHAPTER 3: ACTION
all rolls and your Grace is reduced by one for the
purposes of movement.
INJURED (-15)
Your injuries are such that you have a great deal
of trouble focusing, and even Skills you ordinarily
perform with ease take great effort. You get a -15
penalty on all rolls and your Grace is reduced by two
for the purposes of movement.
CRIPPLED (-20)
You are barely able to stand upright. You get a
-20 penalty on all rolls and your Grace is reduced by
three for the purposes of movement.
DOWN (-30)
You are effectively incapacitated. You cannot
move and can speak only in a whisper. You must
spend at Force Point to take any action whatsoever,
and even then you suffer a -30 penalty to all your
rolls, and move as if your Grace is reduced by five.
The wound penalty for this Rank cannot be reduced
by your Willpower.
OUT (N/A)
You are completely unconscious, barely alive and
unable to take any actions at all. On the plus side,
this Wound Level contains a number of Wounds
equal no your Stamina x 5, allowing some possibility
that your comrades might yet rescue you. Once you
have depleted all Wounds on this level, you are
Dying, which is never a good thing.
DYING (N/A)
When you reach this Wound Rank, you must
immediately make a Stamina Roll. The TN equals the
last Damage Roll made against you. If your roll fail,
you are Dead, and no amount of healing can help
you.
If the Roll is successful, you survive, but you are
not out of Danger yet. You must make another Roll
again at the end of each combat round, until either
you die or someone performs First Aid on you (see
Healing).
After receiving First Aid, you must make Stamina
Rolls to avoid dying only once every 10 Minutes. This
persists until someone performs a Surgery on you
(see Healing).
If you survive the Surgery, you are back in the
Out wound rank, and you can start healing normally.
11
Step 2 - Condition
Track
Any time an attack deals Damage equal or higher
than your Body Rim x5, you go down one step in the
Wound Track.
A creature, droid, object, or vehicle not affected by
any debilitating conditions is assumed to be in a
"normal state," which represents one end of the con­
dition track. Each debilitating effect to which it suc­
cumbs moves it one or more steps along the condi­
tion track. A creature pushed to the last step on the
condition track falls unconscious (see Falling Uncon­
scious, below).
CONDITION STEPS:
 Normal state (no penalties);
 Struck (-1k0 on all rolls, -2 TN to be Hit);
 Staggered (-2k0 on all rolls, -5 TN to be Hit);
 Stunned (-3k0 on all rolls, -10 TN to be Hit);
 Disabled (-5k0 on all rolls, -15 TN to be Hit)
 Unconscious (unable to act)
REMOVING CONDITIONS
You automatically improve one step in the Condi­
tion Track at the end of each round. You can improve
your condition prior to that by spending an Action to
recover, moving + 1 step along the condition track.
You can spend as many actions recovering in a single
round as you want. Some causes of debilitation,
such as poison and hunger, may prevent a creature
from improving its condition or returning to its nor­
mal state until the cause of the debilitation is treated
(see Persistent Conditions, below).
Healing
Use of Medpacs and the Medicine Skill can
increase your recovery dramatically.
First Aid: As a full-round action, you can admin­
ister first aid to an unconscious or wounded crea­
ture. If you succeed on a TN 15 Medicine Roll, the
creature regains a number of Wound Points equal to
its Stamina, plus 1 for every point by which your Roll
result exceeds the TN. Using a medical kit grants a
Free Raise on your skill Roll. If the skill Roll suc­
ceeds, the tended creature cannot benefit from addi­
tional first aid for 24 hours.

You can administer first aid on yourself, but you
take a -10 penalty on your Medicine Roll.
Surgery: You can perform surgery to heal
Wounds to a wounded creature or remove a persis­
tent condition. Any of these operations requires 1
hour of uninterrupted work, at the end of which time
you must make a Medicine Roll. If you fail your Roll,
the surgery does not yield any benefit (but any
resources used are still lost). In addition, if you fail
your Roll by 5 or more, the creature takes Wounds
equal to its Stamina x5. If the creature reaches the
Dying wound level, it must immediately make a
Stamina roll against the damage taken to avoid
dying.
You can make a TN 20 Medicine Roll to perform
surgery on a wounded creature, healing a number of
Wound Ranks equal to the creature's Stamina, plus
one Wound Rank per Raise. If you fail the Roll, the
creature instead takes Wounds equal to its Stamina
x5. If the creature was already Dying, it dies unless
it can spend a Force Point to save itself. You can per­
form surgery on yourself to heal Wounds, but you
take a -10 penalty on your skill Roll. Performing
surgery to heal Wounds also removes any persistent
conditions afflicting the target.
CHAPTER 3: ACTION
Other Uses for
Force Points
Force Points have uses outside of enhancements
on rolls. A number of Advantages, Talents and Force
Powers require Force Point expenditure, or are
improved by it. In addition, there are other ways
that all characters can spend Force Points.
GAIN AN ACTION
You may spend one Force Points to gain an addi­
tional Simple Action during one of your Turns.
PERSISTENCE
You may spend a Force Point before making any
Skill Roll (including an attack roll) to negate all
Wound Penalties for that Skill Roll. You may spend
more Force to enhance this roll normally. Penalties
imposed by effects other than Wounds (such as a
disease, range, armor) are not negated.
SPEED
You may spend two Force Points before rolling ini­
tiative to roll and keep an extra die on your Initiative

Force Powers
Force powers are special abilities available to any­
one who takes the Force Training advantage. They
allow characters to do astonishing things such as
play tricks with the minds of others, move heavy
objects, see into the future, and even blast foes with
terrible arcs of lightning.
USING FORCE POWERS
Each Force Power is associated with one of your
Rims; Body, Grace, Mind, Spirit and Force.
When your character uses a Force power, make a
Rim/Use the Force roll (using the Rim associated
with that force power) against that Force power's
TN. The roll result determines the power's effect.
Some Force powers have all-or-nothing effects.
Other Force powers have multi-tiered effects, and
your Use the Force roll result determines the maxi­
mum effect you can achieve, although you can
always choose a lesser effect. If your Use the Force
roll is too low to activate the Force power's baseline
effect, nothing happens and the action is wasted.
Spending Force-powers: You can use each
force power once per encounter. If you have selected
the same force power more than once, you may use
it more than once per encounter.
Regaining Force Powers: You have different
ways to regain spent Force powers so that you can
use them again:
 When combat is over and you have a chance
to rest for 5 minutes, you regain all of your
Force powers.
 If you roll double 10's on a Use the Force roll,
you regain all spent Force powers at the end
of your turn.
 You can spend a Force Point as a free action
and immediately regain one spent Force
power.
 Some unique abilities (such as the Force Focus
talent) allow you to regain spent Force powers
in other ways.
CHAPTER 3: ACTION
Force Power
Descriptors
The following Force powers are available to any
character with the Force Sensitive advantage (see
page 00). Each Force power includes the following
information:
FORCE POWER NAME [DESCRIPTOR]
If a Force power has a descriptor, it appears in
square brackets after the Force power's name. Some
Force powers are more strongly tied to one side of
the Force than the other. These Force powers carry
either the [light side] descriptor or the [dark side]
descriptor. Powers that target creatures' minds carry
the [mind-affecting] descriptor.
Dark Side: Using a Force power with the [dark
side] descriptor increases your Dark Side Score by 1.
You cannot use a Force Point to modify your Use the
Force roll when activating a Force power with the
[dark side] descriptor. Dark side powers stem from
powerful negative emotions and include dark rage
and Force lightning.
Light Side: If you have a Dark Side Rank of 1 or
higher, you cannot use a Force Point to modify your
Use the Force roll when activating a Force power
with the [light side] descriptor. Light side powers are
generally beneficial and include sever Force and vital
transfer.
Mind-Affecting: A Force power with the [mind-
affecting] descriptor has no effect on creatures that
are mindless (that is, creatures with no Intelligence
trait) or creatures that are immune to mind-affecting
effects, such as Droids.
The name of the power is followed by a brief
description of the Force power's effect.
Activation: The type of action needed to use or
activate the Force power.
Target: The targets affected by the Force power.
TN: The basic TN to activate the power.
Raises: The results of raising in your Use the Force
check when you activate the power.
Special: Some Force powers have special rules,
which are covered here.
Whenever a Force power instructs you to make a
Use the Force roll, you roll a number of dice equal to
the Rim associated with that power plus your Use
the Force skill, keeping the Rim. The results of the
Use the Force roll will be described in the power's
text.
The following is a list of Force powers, organized
by Rim.
