<div id="abilities1" style="margin-top: 1.5em;">
<h3 class="headline">'''1. Generate Ability Scores'''</h3>
Every character has six abilities that represent the charactr’s strengths and weaknesses. These abilities—[[Strength]], [[Dexterity]], [[Constitution]], [[Intelligence]], [[Wisdom]], and [[Charisma]]—affect everything a hero does, from fighting to using [[skills]].{{newline}}A score of 10 or 11 in an ability is average. Higher scores grant bonuses, and lower scores give penalites. When you create your character, you’ll want to put your higher scores into the abilities most closely associated with your character’s class.{{newline}}Use one of the methods described in '''[[Abilities]]''' to generate your six ability scores. Record the scores on a piece of scrap paper (or preferred medium) and put them aside for the moment.</div>

<div id="species" style="margin-top: 1.5em;">
<h3 class="headline">'''2. Select Your Species'''</h3>
As a ''Star Wars'' character, you aren’t limited to simply being [[Human]]. There are a variety of species available, from [[Mon Calamari (species)|Mon Calamari]] to [[Wookiee]]. Select the species you want to play from those listed in '''[[Species]]'''.{{newline}}Each species has its own set of special abilities and modifiers. Record these traits on your character sheet.</div>

<div id="class" style="margin-top: 1.5em;">
<h3 class="headline">'''3. Choose Your Class'''</h3>
A class provides you with a starting point for your character, a frame upon which you can hang skills, feats and various story elements. Choose a class from those presented in '''[[Heroic Classes]]''' and write it on your character sheet.</div>

<div id="abilities2" style="margin-top: 1.5em;">
<h3 class="headline">'''4. Assign Ability Scores'''</h3>
Now that you know what species and class you want your character to be, take the scores you generated earlier and assign each one to one of the six abilities: Strenght, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisodm, and Charisma. then make any adjustments to these scores according to the species you selected.{{newline}}For guidance, each class description indicates which abilities are most important for that class. You might want to put your highest scores in the abilities that accentuate the natural benefits of the class.{{newline}}Record your ability scores on your character sheet. Record your ability modifiers as well.</div>

<div id="combatstats" style="margin-top: 1.5em;">
<h3 class="headline">'''5. Determine Combat Statistics'''</h3>
In combat, you need to know your character’s hit points, defenses, damag threshold, attack bonuses, and speed, as well as how many [[Force Points]] they have available to spend.</div>

<div style="margin-top: 1em">
<h4 class="headline">Hit Points</h4>
<p class="single">Each character can withstand a certain amount of damage before falling unconscious or dying. This ability to take damage and keep on functioning is represented by the character’s [[hit points].{{newline}}Your class determines how many hit points you have at 1st level, as shown below:</p>
{{table-classhpstart}}
<p class="single">{{indent}}For example, if your character belongs to the scoundrel class and you have a 12 Constitution, you start with 19 hit points (18 plus 1 for your Constitution bonus).{{newline}}Your hit points increase as you gain levels, as described in '''[[Heroic Classes]]'''.</p></div>

<div style="margin-top: 1em;">
<h4 class="headline">Defenses</h4>
Determine your character’s defenses as follows:{{newline}}'''Reflex Defense:''' 10 + your heroic level or armor bonus + Dexterity modifier + class bonus + natural armor bonus + size modifier.{{newline}}'''Fortitude Defense:''' 10 + your heroic level + Constitution modifier + class bonus + equipment bonus.{{newline}}'''Will Defense:''' 10 + your heroic level + Wisdom modifier + class bonus.{{newline}}When you take your first level in an heroic class, you gain bonuses on two or more defenses, as shown in [[Heroic Classes]].{{newline}}If you wear armor, you must substitute your armor bonus for your heroic level when calculating your Reflex Defense. For example, a 1st-level soldier with a Dexterity of 12 wearing a blast helmet and vest (+2 armor bonus) has a Reflex Defense of 14 (10 + 2 armor + 1 Dex + 1 class). Some types of armor also provide an equipment bonus to your Fortitude Defense in addition to an armor bonus to your Reflex Defense (as noted in '''[[Armor]]''').</div>

<div style="margin-top: 1em;">
<h4 class="headline">Damage Threshold</h4>
Attacks that deal massive amounts of damage can impair or incapacitate you regardless of how many hit points you have remaining. Your damage threshold determines how much damage a single attack must deal to reduce your combat effectiveness or, in some cases, kill you.{{newline}}A Small or Medium character’s damage threshold is equal to their Fortitude Defense. Record this number on your character sheet.</div>

<div style="margin-top: 1em;">
<h4 class="headline">Base Attack Bonus</h4>
Your character’s class determines your base attack bonus. Record this number on the character sheet.{{newline}}Jedi and soldiers have a base attack bonus of +1 at 1st level; nobles, scoundrels, and scouts have a base attack bonus of +0 at 1st level.</div>

<div style="margin-top: 1em;">
<h4 class="headline">Melee Attack Bonus</h4>
To determine your melee attack bonus, add your Strength modifier to your base attack bonus. Certain feats and talents might provide additional modifiers, so make adjustments as necessary.</div>

<div style="margin-top: 1em;">
<h4 class="headline">Ranged Attack Bonus</h4>
To determine your ranged attack bonus, add your Dexterity modifier to your base attack bonus. Certain feats and talents might provide additional modifiers, so make adjustments as necessary.</div>

<div style="margin-top: 1em;">
<h4 class="headline">Speed</h4>
Your character’s species determines their speed. Most species have a speed of 6 squares. Ewoks have a speed of 4 squares because they are Small.</div>

<div style="margin-top: 1em;">
<h4 class="headline">Force Points</h4>
Your character begins play with 5 [[Force Points]]. Indicate this in the space provided on the character sheet.{{newline}}If you end up taking the [[Force Boon]] feat, you gain an additional 3 Force Points.</div>

<div style="margin-top: 1em;">
<h4 class="headline">Destiny Point</h4>
If your GM uses the optional destiny rules described in '''[[Heroic Traits]]''', your character begins play with 1 [[Destiny Point]]. Indicate this in the space provided on the character sheet.</div>

<div id="skills" style="padding-top: 1.5em;">
<h3 class="headline">'''6. Select Skills'''</h3>
Skills represent how well a character accomplishes dramatic tasks other than combat, such as disabling a tractor beam generator or climbing a sheer surface.{{newline}}Each class comes with a list of class skills. From this list, you get to pick a number of trained skills in which your character is considered trained. The number of skills your character gets depends on the class you’ve selected and your character’s Intelligence modifier. Once you’ve selected your character’s trained skills, determine the skill check modifier for each skill.{{newline}}The skill check modifier for trained skills is one-half your character level (rounded down) + the relevant ability modifier + 5. If you are untrained in a skill, the skill check modifier is one-half you character level (rounded down) + the relevant ability modifier. (In other words, you get a +5 bonus on skill checks made using trained skills.){{newline}}Some skills cannot be used untrained. See '''[[Skills]]''' for more information.</div>

<div id="feats" style="margin-top: 1.5em;">
<h3 class="headline">'''7. Select Feats'''</h3>
Feats are special features that provide a character with new capabilities or improvements.{{newline}}Your caracter begins play with at least one feat. If you are playing a Human, you get a bonus feat. In addition, your class also gives you several starting feats that you get for free.{{newline}}Select your feats from '''[[Feats]]''' and record them on the character sheet. Some feats may affect the information you’ve already recorded, so make adjustments as necessary.</div>

<div id="talent" style="margin-top: 1.5em;">
<h3 class="headline">'''8. Select a Talent'''</h3>
At 1st level, your character gets a talent (a special class feature). Choose a talent from any of the [[Talent_Trees|talent trees]] presented in your character’s class description. Some talents have prerequisites that must be met before they can be selected.</div>

<div id="credits" style="margin-top: 1.5em;">
<h3 class="headline">'''9. Determine Starting Credits and Buy Gear'''</h3>
Your character’s class determines how many credits you stat play with. Use your credits to purchase equipment for your character. '''[[Equipment]]''' describes [[weapons]], [[Armor#Armor_List|armor]], and [[gear]] you can select from.</div>

<div id="finish" style="margin-top: 1.5em;">
<h3 class="headline">'''10. Finish Your Character'''</h3>
The last details you need to add to your character sheet help you visualize and roleplay your character. You need a name, of course—something that fits your class, secies, and the ''Star Wars'' galaxy. You should also determine your character’s age, gender, height, weight, eye and hair color, skin color, and any relevant background information you want to provide. (Make sure to run your ideas past your Gamemaster so that they can fit them into the campaign.){{newline}}'''[[Heroic Traits]]''' provides guidlines that can help you with these details and characteristics.</div>
