Ролевая игра Star Wars – это ролевая игра, использующая систему d20, действие которой разворачивается во вселенной Star Wars. Игра была написана Биллом Славичеком, Энди Коллинзом и Джей Ди Уикером и опубликована Wizards of the Coast в конце 2000 года с последующей редакцией в 2002 году. В 2007 году Wizards выпустила Saga Edition, внеся существенные изменения для упрощения игровой системы. Игра охватывает три основные эпохи, соответствующие ключевым событиям во вселенной Star Wars: Восхождение Империи, Галактическая гражданская война и эпоха Нового ордена джедаев. Ранее, с 1987 по 1999 год, West End Games выпустила другую, не связанную с этой, ролевую игру Star Wars. Билл Славичек также был одним из разработчиков той игры. Эта игра от Wizards of the Coast в настоящее время не издается. Официальной ролевой игрой Star Wars на данный момент является игра с тем же названием, изданная Fantasy Flight Games.
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.
Оригинальные и пересмотренные издания
Оригинальная ролевая игра "Звёздные войны" была впервые опубликована West End Games как система на основе шестигранных кубиков (d6) и пользовалась популярностью на протяжении многих лет, пока WEG не обанкротилась. Перезапуск ролевой игры "Звёздные войны" на основе двадцатигранных кубиков (d20) был впервые опубликован в ноябре 2000 года. Он включал статистику для многих ключевых персонажей фильма "Звёздные войны. Эпизод I: Скрытая угроза". Позднее, пересмотренная версия игры содержала материалы из "Звёздные войны. Эпизод II: Атака клонов" и изменила некоторые таланты и классы. В ролевой игре "Звёздные войны" вместо стандартных хитов используется система жизненных сил и ран, разделяющая урон на незначительные повреждения (жизненные силы) и серьёзные ранения (раны). Персонаж получает жизненные силы подобно хитам в других играх d20, бросая кубик за них на каждом уровне и добавляя бонус к Конституции. Количество ран персонажа равно его значению Конституции. Большинство игровых механик будут знакомы игрокам в Dungeons & Dragons и другие игры, основанные на d20. Персонажи обладают шестью характеристиками (т.е. стандартными: Сила, Ловкость, Конституция, Интеллект, Мудрость и Харизма), классом и уровнем, талантами и навыками. Большинство действий разрешаются броском двадцатигранного кубика с добавлением модификатора; если результат равен или превышает сложность, проверка считается успешной.
The original Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game was originally published by West End Games as a d6 product, enjoying many years of play before WEG went bankrupt. The d20 rebooted Star Wars Roleplaying Game was originally published on November 2000. It included statistics for many of the major characters of the movie Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. The later Revised game included material from Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones and changed various feats and classes. The Star Wars Roleplaying Game uses a Vitality/Wound point system instead of standard hit points, dividing damage into superficial harm (Vitality) and serious injury (Wounds). A character gains Vitality points just like hit points in other d20 games, and rolls for them each level and adds their Constitution bonus. A character's Wound points are equal to their Constitution score. Most game mechanics are familiar to players of Dungeons & Dragons and other d20 based games. Characters have six Ability Scores (i. e., the standard Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma), a class and level, feats, and skills. Most actions are resolved by rolling a twenty sided die and adding a modifier; if the result equals or exceeds the difficulty, the check succeeds.
Виды и классы
Как и в большинстве игр d20 System, Star Wars предлагает игровым персонажам (КК) игровые расы (называемые видами) и классы. Виды Star Wars d20, включенные в пересмотренный основной свод правил: люди, ботаны, церане, дуросы, эвоки, гунганцы, иторианцы, кель-доры, мон-каламари, кварены, родианцы, сулустанцы, трандошане, тви’леки, вуки и забраки, а также необычный для игр d20 вариант – дроид (это необычно, поскольку позволяет в определенной степени создавать собственную расу, а также подразумевает, что персонаж технически находится под управлением другого игрока). Классы персонажей: Фрингер, Благородный, Мошенник, Солдат, Адепт Силы, Страж Джедаев, Консул Джедаев, Скаут и Технический Специалист (добавлен в пересмотренном издании). Престижные классы позволяют продвинутым персонажам, желающим специализироваться в определенных наборах умений, присоединиться к классу, посвященному этой специализации. Например, джедаи, особенно талантливые в помощи другим, могут выбрать специализацию Джедая-Целителя, а наемник, владеющий бластером, может заслужить репутацию Охотника за головами. Основной свод правил включает в себя: Мастера Джедаев, Аса Джедаев, Криминального Лорда, Элитного Солдата, Аса Звездолета, Офицера, Мародера Тёмной Стороны и Посвященного Тёмной Стороне. Дополнения к основному своду правил вводят множество других престижных классов. Издание Saga изменило систему и сделало Адепта Силы престижным классом.
As with most d20 System games, Star Wars offers playable races (called species) and classes to the Player Characters (PCs). The species of Star Wars d20 that are included with the Revised Core Rulebook are: Humans, Bothans, Cereans, Duros, Ewoks, Gungans, Ithorians, Kel Dor, Mon Calamari, Quarren, Rodians, Sullustans, Trandoshans, Twi'leks, Wookiees, and Zabrak and the unusual option for d20 games, Droid (this is unusual because it allows you to create your own race to an extent, and also you are ruled technically mastered by another player). The character classes are Fringer, Noble, Scoundrel, Soldier, Force Adept, Jedi Guardian, Jedi Consular, Scout, and Tech Specialist (added with the Revised Edition). Prestige classes allow advanced characters who wish to specialize in certain suites of abilities to join a class devoted to them. For example, Jedi with special talents at helping others can choose to specialize as a Jedi Healer, while a blaster wielding mercenary might earn a reputation as a Bounty Hunter. The core rulebook includes the Jedi Master, Jedi Ace, Crime lord, Elite Trooper, Starship Ace, Officer, Darkside Marauder, and Darkside Devotee. Supplements to the core rulebook introduce many more prestige classes. Saga edition changed things around and made Force Adept a prestige class.

On June 5, 2007, Wizards released Star Wars: Roleplaying Game Saga Edition Core Rulebook. The game was streamlined to be easier to play and a greater emphasis was placed on miniatures. Some of the major changes include:
Standard hit points have replaced the former Wounds/Vitality system. Each character begins first level with three times their maximum hit die in hit points based on their class which is modified by the character's Constitution bonus. Jedi and Soldiers for instance, have a hit die of d10, and begin 1st level with 30 hit points + Con bonus. Characters then roll a hit die for additional hit points as they progress in level. Characters also have a Condition Track which measures how much they are currently impaired. If Damage from a single attack exceeds the damage threshold, the PC is moved down the condition track. Each level of the track enforces progressively worse penalties until the PC is knocked out. Further damage can kill the character. The number of character classes have been reduced to five — Jedi, Noble, Scoundrel, Scout and Soldier. Each class progresses along "character trees" similar to the d20 Modern system where characters are built with talents and feats. Jedi for instance, can follow talent paths such as Jedi Guardian, Jedi Consular, plus the new Jedi Sentinel and Lightsaber Combat talent trees. This allows for greater customization and more variety amongst characters of the same class. Prestige Classes are still available, but they each also have one or more talent trees. Saving Throws have been changed to a series of "Defenses". Virtually all attacks and offensive powers now require a roll against one of three defenses — Reflex Defense, Fortitude Defense, or Will Defense. These Defenses are analogous to both Saving Throws and Armor Class (or Defense as in the previous system) in other d20 games. Skill points have been eliminated. Characters have a number of "trained" skills they can pick based on their class and Intelligence bonus. When a character makes a skill check, they roll a d20 and add half their character level + any other bonuses. If they roll for a trained skill they get a +5 bonus to the die roll, and certain applications of some skills cannot be attempted unless trained in the skill. Skills themselves have been simplified and integrated, with such skills as Deception covering the former skills of Bluff, Disguise, and Forgery. The Mechanics skill now encompasses Repair, Disable Device, and Demolitions (as well as crafting devices in the expansion books). Likewise, the new Perception skill combines the Spot, Search, Sense Motive, and Listen skills. Force sensitive characters now have a single "Use the Force" skill, which allows them to do a number of things such as moving small objects and searching their feelings. Force Powers are special abilities such as Force Choke or Move Object that form a "suite" of powers, similar to a hand of cards, which are used up, and recharge between encounters; all Force Powers involve a "Use the Force" skill check, and a greater margin of success on the check will produce a stronger effect. Force users can also select Talents related to the Force, and prestige classes grant Force Techniques and Force Secrets which further improve their ability to use the Force. The game includes an optional Destiny system. Characters receive "Destiny Points" which are more powerful than Force Points. They allow such things as scoring an automatic critical hit without rolling, gaining 3 Force Points, or automatically succeeding at a virtually impossible task. Destiny Points are used to help characters with a predetermined fate (usually determined during character creation) eventually fulfill their specific overarching goal. The character class Attack Bonus progressions no longer allow for multiple attacks during a full round action. Instead, a character wielding a single weapon must pick the new "Double Attack" feat (for one extra attack) and "Triple Attack" feat (for two extra attacks), but both incurring significant attack roll penalties uniformly to all attacks that turn. Multiple attacks are, in general, less common, streamlining and speeding up combat turns. Rules and stats for NPCs have been refined. There is only one non heroic class for NPC characters. They do not get heroic Defense bonuses, their Hit Points are limited to 1d4 + Con bonus per level (and they do not receive triple maximum starting hit points at first level), they receive less ability score increases for every four levels they have, and they get only the feats granted by gaining levels; non heroic characters do not gain Talents. Non sentient creatures in the game use the "Beast" class and gain 1d8 + Con hit points per level. Many minor bonuses have been eliminated. Alien races and classes now rarely grant bonuses to skill checks; instead they often allow a reroll of the check under particular circumstances.

Стандартные хиты заменили прежнюю систему Ран/Жизненной Силы. Каждый персонаж начинает с первого уровня, имея количество хитов, равное трём максимальным значениям кости хитов, определяемых классом персонажа и модифицируемых бонусом к Конституции. Например, джедаи и солдаты имеют кость хитов d10 и начинают первый уровень с 30 хитов + бонус к Конституции. Затем персонажи бросают кость хитов для получения дополнительных хитов при повышении уровня. У персонажей также есть Шкала Состояния, которая измеряет степень их текущего ослабления. Если урон от одной атаки превышает порог урона, персонаж продвигается вниз по Шкале Состояния. Каждый уровень Шкалы накладывает всё более серьёзные штрафы, пока персонаж не будет выведен из строя. Дальнейший урон может привести к смерти персонажа. Количество классов персонажей сокращено до пяти: джедай, благородный, негодяй, разведчик и солдат. Каждый класс развивается по «деревьям развития», аналогичным системе d20 Modern, где персонажи создаются с использованием талантов и умений. Например, джедаи могут следовать путям талантов, таким как Джедай-Страж, Джедай-Консул, а также новым деревьям талантов Джедай-Сентинел и Боевые Таланты Светового Меча. Это обеспечивает большую кастомизацию и разнообразие среди персонажей одного класса. Престижные классы по-прежнему доступны, но каждый из них также имеет одно или несколько деревьев талантов.

Броски спасения были заменены серией «Защит». Практически все атаки и активные способности теперь требуют броска против одной из трёх Защит: Защиты Рефлекса, Защиты Стойкости или Защиты Воли. Эти Защиты аналогичны как Броскам Спасения, так и Классу Брони (или Защите, как в предыдущей системе) в других играх d20.

Force Powers are special abilities such as Force Choke or Move Object that form a "suite" of powers, similar to a hand of cards, which are used up, and recharge between encounters; all Force Powers involve a "Use the Force" skill check, and a greater margin of success on the check will produce a stronger effect. Force users can also select Talents related to the Force, and prestige classes grant Force Techniques and Force Secrets which further improve their ability to use the Force. The game includes an optional Destiny system. Characters receive "Destiny Points" which are more powerful than Force Points. They allow such things as scoring an automatic critical hit without rolling, gaining 3 Force Points, or automatically succeeding at a virtually impossible task. Destiny Points are used to help characters with a predetermined fate (usually determined during character creation) eventually fulfill their specific overarching goal. The character class Attack Bonus progressions no longer allow for multiple attacks during a full round action. Instead, a character wielding a single weapon must pick the new "Double Attack" feat (for one extra attack) and "Triple Attack" feat (for two extra attacks), but both incurring significant attack roll penalties uniformly to all attacks that turn. Multiple attacks are, in general, less common, streamlining and speeding up combat turns. Rules and stats for NPCs have been refined. There is only one non heroic class for NPC characters. They do not get heroic Defense bonuses, their Hit Points are limited to 1d4 + Con bonus per level (and they do not receive triple maximum starting hit points at first level), they receive less ability score increases for every four levels they have, and they get only the feats granted by gaining levels; non heroic characters do not gain Talents. Non sentient creatures in the game use the "Beast" class and gain 1d8 + Con hit points per level. Many minor bonuses have been eliminated. Alien races and classes now rarely grant bonuses to skill checks; instead they often allow a reroll of the check under particular circumstances.
Очки навыков были упразднены. Персонажи имеют ряд «обученных» навыков, которые они могут выбрать в зависимости от своего класса и бонуса к Интеллекту. Когда персонаж совершает проверку навыка, он бросает d20 и добавляет половину своего уровня персонажа + любые другие бонусы. Если проверка выполняется для обученного навыка, персонаж получает бонус +5 к броску, и некоторые применения определённых навыков не могут быть предприняты без обучения этому навыку. Сами навыки были упрощены и объединены, например, навык Обман охватывает прежние навыки Блеф, Маскировка и Подделка. Навык Механика теперь включает в себя Ремонт, Отключение Устройств и Подрыв (а также создание устройств в книгах расширений). Аналогично, новый навык Восприятие объединяет навыки Заметить, Поиск, Проницательность и Слух.
On June 5, 2007, Wizards released Star Wars: Roleplaying Game Saga Edition Core Rulebook. The game was streamlined to be easier to play and a greater emphasis was placed on miniatures. Some of the major changes include:
Standard hit points have replaced the former Wounds/Vitality system. Each character begins first level with three times their maximum hit die in hit points based on their class which is modified by the character's Constitution bonus. Jedi and Soldiers for instance, have a hit die of d10, and begin 1st level with 30 hit points + Con bonus. Characters then roll a hit die for additional hit points as they progress in level. Characters also have a Condition Track which measures how much they are currently impaired. If Damage from a single attack exceeds the damage threshold, the PC is moved down the condition track. Each level of the track enforces progressively worse penalties until the PC is knocked out. Further damage can kill the character. The number of character classes have been reduced to five — Jedi, Noble, Scoundrel, Scout and Soldier. Each class progresses along "character trees" similar to the d20 Modern system where characters are built with talents and feats. Jedi for instance, can follow talent paths such as Jedi Guardian, Jedi Consular, plus the new Jedi Sentinel and Lightsaber Combat talent trees. This allows for greater customization and more variety amongst characters of the same class. Prestige Classes are still available, but they each also have one or more talent trees. Saving Throws have been changed to a series of "Defenses". Virtually all attacks and offensive powers now require a roll against one of three defenses — Reflex Defense, Fortitude Defense, or Will Defense. These Defenses are analogous to both Saving Throws and Armor Class (or Defense as in the previous system) in other d20 games. Skill points have been eliminated. Characters have a number of "trained" skills they can pick based on their class and Intelligence bonus. When a character makes a skill check, they roll a d20 and add half their character level + any other bonuses. If they roll for a trained skill they get a +5 bonus to the die roll, and certain applications of some skills cannot be attempted unless trained in the skill. Skills themselves have been simplified and integrated, with such skills as Deception covering the former skills of Bluff, Disguise, and Forgery. The Mechanics skill now encompasses Repair, Disable Device, and Demolitions (as well as crafting devices in the expansion books). Likewise, the new Perception skill combines the Spot, Search, Sense Motive, and Listen skills. Force sensitive characters now have a single "Use the Force" skill, which allows them to do a number of things such as moving small objects and searching their feelings. Force Powers are special abilities such as Force Choke or Move Object that form a "suite" of powers, similar to a hand of cards, which are used up, and recharge between encounters; all Force Powers involve a "Use the Force" skill check, and a greater margin of success on the check will produce a stronger effect.

Персонажи, чувствительные к Силе, теперь имеют один навык «Использование Силы», который позволяет им выполнять ряд действий, таких как перемещение небольших предметов и поиск своих чувств. Способности Силы — это специальные умения, такие как Удушение Силой или Перемещение Объекта, которые формируют «набор» способностей, похожий на руку карт, которые используются и восстанавливаются между столкновениями; все Способности Силы включают проверку навыка «Использование Силы», и большая разница в успехе проверки приведёт к более сильному эффекту. Пользователи Силы также могут выбирать Таланты, связанные с Силой, а престижные классы предоставляют Техники Силы и Секреты Силы, которые ещё больше улучшают их способность использовать Силу.

В игре присутствует необязательная система Судьбы. Персонажи получают «Очки Судьбы», которые мощнее Очков Силы. Они позволяют, например, автоматически нанести критический удар без броска, получить 3 Очка Силы или автоматически добиться успеха в практически невыполнимой задаче. Очки Судьбы используются, чтобы помочь персонажам с предопределённой судьбой (обычно определяемой во время создания персонажа) в конечном итоге достичь своей конкретной главной цели.

Прогрессия бонуса к атаке больше не позволяет совершать несколько атак во время полного раунда действия. Вместо этого персонаж, владеющий одним оружием, должен выбрать новые умения «Двойная Атака» (для одной дополнительной атаки) и «Тройная Атака» (для двух дополнительных атак), но оба они накладывают значительные штрафы к броскам атаки на все атаки в этом раунде. Множественные атаки, как правило, менее распространены, что упрощает и ускоряет боевые раунды.

Alien races and classes now rarely grant bonuses to skill checks; instead they often allow a reroll of the check under particular circumstances.
Standard hit points have replaced the former Wounds/Vitality system. Each character begins first level with three times their maximum hit die in hit points based on their class which is modified by the character's Constitution bonus. Jedi and Soldiers for instance, have a hit die of d10, and begin 1st level with 30 hit points + Con bonus. Characters then roll a hit die for additional hit points as they progress in level. Characters also have a Condition Track which measures how much they are currently impaired. If Damage from a single attack exceeds the damage threshold, the PC is moved down the condition track. Each level of the track enforces progressively worse penalties until the PC is knocked out. Further damage can kill the character. The number of character classes have been reduced to five — Jedi, Noble, Scoundrel, Scout and Soldier. Each class progresses along "character trees" similar to the d20 Modern system where characters are built with talents and feats. Jedi for instance, can follow talent paths such as Jedi Guardian, Jedi Consular, plus the new Jedi Sentinel and Lightsaber Combat talent trees. This allows for greater customization and more variety amongst characters of the same class. Prestige Classes are still available, but they each also have one or more talent trees. Saving Throws have been changed to a series of "Defenses". Virtually all attacks and offensive powers now require a roll against one of three defenses — Reflex Defense, Fortitude Defense, or Will Defense. These Defenses are analogous to both Saving Throws and Armor Class (or Defense as in the previous system) in other d20 games. Skill points have been eliminated. Characters have a number of "trained" skills they can pick based on their class and Intelligence bonus. When a character makes a skill check, they roll a d20 and add half their character level + any other bonuses. If they roll for a trained skill they get a +5 bonus to the die roll, and certain applications of some skills cannot be attempted unless trained in the skill. Skills themselves have been simplified and integrated, with such skills as Deception covering the former skills of Bluff, Disguise, and Forgery. The Mechanics skill now encompasses Repair, Disable Device, and Demolitions (as well as crafting devices in the expansion books). Likewise, the new Perception skill combines the Spot, Search, Sense Motive, and Listen skills. Force sensitive characters now have a single "Use the Force" skill, which allows them to do a number of things such as moving small objects and searching their feelings. Force Powers are special abilities such as Force Choke or Move Object that form a "suite" of powers, similar to a hand of cards, which are used up, and recharge between encounters; all Force Powers involve a "Use the Force" skill check, and a greater margin of success on the check will produce a stronger effect. Force users can also select Talents related to the Force, and prestige classes grant Force Techniques and Force Secrets which further improve their ability to use the Force. The game includes an optional Destiny system. Characters receive "Destiny Points" which are more powerful than Force Points. They allow such things as scoring an automatic critical hit without rolling, gaining 3 Force Points, or automatically succeeding at a virtually impossible task. Destiny Points are used to help characters with a predetermined fate (usually determined during character creation) eventually fulfill their specific overarching goal. The character class Attack Bonus progressions no longer allow for multiple attacks during a full round action. Instead, a character wielding a single weapon must pick the new "Double Attack" feat (for one extra attack) and "Triple Attack" feat (for two extra attacks), but both incurring significant attack roll penalties uniformly to all attacks that turn. Multiple attacks are, in general, less common, streamlining and speeding up combat turns. Rules and stats for NPCs have been refined. There is only one non heroic class for NPC characters. They do not get heroic Defense bonuses, their Hit Points are limited to 1d4 + Con bonus per level (and they do not receive triple maximum starting hit points at first level), they receive less ability score increases for every four levels they have, and they get only the feats granted by gaining levels; non heroic characters do not gain Talents. Non sentient creatures in the game use the "Beast" class and gain 1d8 + Con hit points per level. Many minor bonuses have been eliminated.

Правила и характеристики для NPC были уточнены. Для NPC-персонажей существует только один негероический класс. Они не получают героических бонусов к Защите, их хиты ограничены 1d4 + бонус к Конституции за уровень (и они не получают тройное максимальное количество хитов при первом уровне), они получают меньше бонусов к характеристикам за каждые четыре уровня и получают только умения, предоставляемые при повышении уровня; негероические персонажи не получают Таланты. Неразумные существа в игре используют класс «Зверь» и получают 1d8 + бонус к Конституции хитов за уровень.

Многие незначительные бонусы были упразднены. Расы и классы теперь редко предоставляют бонусы к проверкам навыков; вместо этого они часто позволяют перебросить проверку при определённых обстоятельствах.
