Once you know the basic game aspects of your
character, it's time to esh him or her out as a person.
Your character needs a name. Spend a few minutes
thinking about what he or she looks like and how he or
she behaves in general terms.
Using the information in the Personality and
Background chapter, you can esh out your
character's physical appearance and personality traits.
Choose your character's alignment (the moral
compass that guides his or her decisions) and ideals.
The Personality and Background chapter also helps
you identify the things your character holds most dear,
called bonds, and the flaws that could one day
undermine him or her.
Your character's background describes where he or
she came from, his or her original occupation, and the
character's place in the D&D world. Your GM might

included in the Personality and Background section,
and might be willing to work with you to craft a
background that's a more precise t for your character

A background gives your character a background

and it might also give you additional languages or

you develop, on your character sheet.

These berserkers, di erent as they might be, are
de ned by their rage: unbridled, unquenchable, and
unthinking fury. More than a mere emotion, their
anger is the ferocity of a cornered predator, the
unrelenting assault of a storm, the churning turmoil of
the sea. For every berserker, rage is a power that fuels
not just a battle frenzy but also uncanny re exes,
resilience, and feats of strength.

PRIMAL INSTINCT
People of towns and cities take pride in how their
civilized ways set them apart from animals, as if
denying one's own nature was a mark of
superiority. To a berserker, though,
civilization is no virtue, but a sign
of weakness. The strong embrace their
animal nature keen instincts, primal physicality, and
ferocious rage. Berserkers are uncomfortable when
hedged in by walls and crowds. They thrive where the
civilized don't.
Berserkers come alive in the chaos of combat. They
can enter a berserk state where rage takes over, giving
them superhuman strength and resilience. A berserker
can draw on this reservoir of fury only a few times
without resting, but those few rages are usually
su cient to defeat whatever threats arise.
CREATING A BERSERKER
When creating a berserker character, think about
where your character comes from and his or her place
in the world. Talk with your GM about an appropriate
origin for your berserker. Did you come from a remote
planet, making you a stranger in the area of the
A LIFE OF DANGER campaign? Or is the campaign set in a rough-and-

RECKLESS POWER
At 6th level, weapons and the force are equally an
extension of your rage. While you are raging and you
use your action to cast a force power, you can make a
single melee weapon attack as a bonus action.

POWERFUL PRESENCE
Starting at 10th level, as a bonus action, you unleash a
battle cry infused with force energy. Choose up to ten
other creatures of within 60 feet of you that can hear
you. Friendly creatures have advantage on attack rolls
and saving throws until the start of your next turn, and
hostile creatures have disadvantage on attack rolls and
saving throws until the end of your next turn.
Once you've used this feature, you can't use it again
until you nish a long rest.

FORCE STORM
At 14th level, you can expel the might of your rage all
at once to unleash a devastating storm of force energy.
As an action, you can end your rage early, forcing each
creature within 15 feet of you to make a Dexterity
saving throw against your universal force save DC. On
a failed save, a creature takes 1d12 force damage for
each round you've spent in rage, or half as much on a
successful one.

PRECISION APPROACH
Some berserkers have learned to channel their rage
into a method of increasing their focus and precision
to supernatural levels. Those berserkers who choose
the Precision Approach hone their rage to a ne point,
becoming agile warriors who ruthlessly dispatch their
foes.

CAREFUL STEPS
When you choose this approach at 3rd level, you gain
skills that represent your precise movement. You gain
pro ciency your choice of Acrobatics or Stealth. While
raging, you have advantage on checks you make with
the chosen skill.

FOCUSED RAGE
Also at 3rd level, you hone your rage to a razor sharp
focus. While raging, when you make a melee weapon
attack using Dexterity, you add your rage damage to
the damage roll. Additionally, you can use your
Reckless Attack feature to give you advantage on
melee weapon attacks using Dexterity during your
turn.

BATTLE ANTICIPATION
At 6th level, while raging, your critical hit range with
melee weapon attacks using Dexterity increases by 1.

IMPROVED DANGER SENSE


Starting at 10th level, while raging, when you are
subjected to an e ect that allows you to make a
Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage
against e ects that you can see, such as traps and
powers, you are treated as pro cient in the save, and
you instead take no damage if you succeed on a saving
throw, and only half damage if you fail.

CALM WITHIN THE STORM


At 14th level, the precision with which you act during
your rage causes you to become a storm of reactive
lethality. When you use your Reckless Attack feature,
you can make a number of opportunity attacks equal
to your pro ciency bonus without using your reaction,
and when a creature within 5 feet of you misses you
with an attack, you can use your reaction to make a
melee weapon attack using Dexterity against that
creature. You can only take one reaction per turn.

to wash away their fatigue.
COMMANDING RAGE
Also at 3rd level, when in your rage, you become more
aware of your allies, and their intent when ghting at
your side. While you are raging, when an ally within 10
feet of you makes an attack roll against an enemy, you
can use your reaction to grant advantage to that attack
and add your rage damage bonus to the damage roll, if
the attack hits.

INSPIRING PRESENCE
At 6th level your mere presence on the
battle eld rallies your allies. When you rage,
choose up to 3 allies that you can see within 30 feet
of you. Each creature gains temporary hit points equal
to half your berserker level (rounded down) + your
Charisma modi er (minimum of one).

RAID PLANNING
Starting at 10th level, you learn to are up your allies'
drive for combat, urging them to follow you into the
fray. During a long rest, you tell sagas, sing battle
songs, and give inspiring speeches. At the end of the
long rest choose up to 5 creatures that can hear and
understand you (which can include yourself) to add
your Charisma modi er (minimum of one) to their next
initiative roll, and a 10 foot bonus to their speed on
their rst turn of combat.

WAR CHANT
By 14th level you have memorized the litanies, songs,
and chants of your people and their dedication to war.
When you enter a rage you can take a commanding
stance. If you do so, for the duration of your rage you
have a special reaction you can take on a number of
allies' turns equal to your Charisma modi er (minimum
of one). You can only use this special reaction to use
your Commanding Rage feature.
Additionally, during this rage, when an enemy within
10 feet of you makes an attack roll against an ally, you
can use your reaction to reduce that roll by an amount
equal to your Charisma modi er.
Once you've used this feature, you must complete a
long rest before you can use it again.

A drably-robed human focuses inward, channeling

FORCE BARRIER
When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you can
weave the Force around yourself for protection. When
you cast a universal power of 1st level or higher, you
can simultaneously manipulate the Force to create a
barrier on yourself that lasts until you nish a long rest.
The barrier has hit points equal to twice your consular
level + your Wisdom or Charisma modi er (your
choice). Your barrier can never have hit points
greater than twice your consular level +
your Wisdom or Charisma modi er
(your choice).
Whenever you take damage, the barrier
takes the damage instead. If this damage
reduces the barrier to 0 hit points, you take
any remaining damage.
While the barrier has 0 hit points, it can't
absorb damage, but its power remains.
Whenever you cast a universal power of 1st level or
higher, the barrier regains a number of hit points equal
to twice the level of the power.
Once you create the barrier, you can't create it again
until you nish a long rest.

PROJECTED BARRIER
At 6th level, when a creature that you can see within 30
feet of you takes damage, you can use your reaction to
cause your Force Barrier to absorb that damage. If this
damage reduces the barrier to 0 hit points, the warded
creature takes any remaining damage.

AT-WILL BARRIER
Beginning at 10th level, your at-will universal powers
grant a small boost to your Force Barrier. When you
cast an at-will universal power, the barrier regains 1 hit
point.

IMPROVED SUPPRESSION
At 14th level, when you cast a force power that
requires you to make an ability check as a part of
casting that power, such as sever force or force

ENHANCED ECHANI WEAPONS
Your attacks with your Echani weapons count as
enhanced for the purpose of overcoming resistance
and immunity to unenhanced attacks and damage.

MATUKAI ORDER
Monks of the Matukai Order center their philosophy
around a balance and harmony between the spiritual
Force and the physical body, using exercise as a form
of meditation. They channel the Force through their
bodies, turning themselves into exceptional warriors.

FORCE-ENHANCED STRIKES
Beginning when you choose this order at 3rd level, you
learn to channel the Force into your unarmed strikes
and monk weapons, further enhancing your melee
strikes. When you hit a creature with an unarmed
strike or monk weapon, you can spend 1 focus point to
force the creature to make a Strength saving throw. On
a failed save, it takes 2d6 force damage and is pushed
up to 15 feet away from you. On a successful save, the
creature only takes 1d6 force damage and isn't
pushed.

INSTINCTIVE LEAP
At 6th level, when a hostile creatures moves to within 5
feet of you, you can use your reaction to disengage and
leap up to half your speed. If you end this movement in
the air, you immediately fall to the ground.

ABSORB DAMAGE
Starting at 11th level, you learn to channel the Force
into your skin and bones, greatly enhancing your
durability. You can use a bonus action to channel the
Force throughout your body. Until the start of your
next turn, you have resistance to kinetic and energy
damage.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to
your Wisdom or Charisma modi er (your choice, a
minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when
you nish a long rest.

CONTROL THE FIELD


At 17th level, whenever you use your Instinctive
Leap feature, you can leap your entire
movement speed instead of only half.
Additionally, when you land, you can
make an unarmed strike with advantage
against a creature within 5 feet of you as
part of the same reaction. On a hit, this attack
deals an additional 2d6 force damage.

SPIRIT BLADE ASSAULT


At 17th level, as an action, you conjure a blade of spirit
energy and strike one creature within 5 feet of you with
it, expending 1 to 10 focus points. The target must
make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, it

have advantage on attack rolls against any creature
that hasn't taken a turn in combat yet.
Additionally, any hit you score against a creature that
is surprised is a critical hit.

DISTRACTING SHOT
Starting at 13th level, you are able to defend your
compatriots from afar. When a friendly creature you
can see within your weapon's normal range is the
target of a ranged attack, or forced to make a saving

At 17th level, you've learned to capitalize when you
have the advantage. When you take the Attack action
and make an attack with advantage, you can choose to
forgo the advantage. If you do, you can make an

will have a plan for anything that comes their way.

THE PURSUIT OF KNOWLEDGE


A true scholar is never satis ed. They are always
seeking out a new answer to a new question. This
often goes hand-in-hand with seeking a life of
adventure, to explore new, hidden areas, or
accompany those that do. The life of a scholar often
times begins in the mundane, as a teacher or sage.
Sometimes they serve as doctors, diplomats, or as
o cers in the military.
CREATING A SCHOLAR
As you create a scholar, it's important to think of where
you gained your knowledge. Did you serve as an
apprentice under a master? Did you attend college or
other formal education? Perhaps you gained it on your
own, searching out and pouring over dusty tomes
found in forgotten places. Where did your thirst for
knowledge come from? Insatiable curiosity? Always
wanting to know the right answer? Or do you have
something to prove? Think about what eld you wish to

you can choose from any of the following as well. The
maneuvers are listed in alphabetical order.
ADRENALINE HIT
You can use an action and expend one superiority die
to inject a creature with regenerative medication that
temporarily enhances their agility. When you do so, a
creature you can touch regains hit points equal to the
superiority die roll. Additionally, until the start of your
next turn, when that creature would take damage, the
amount is reduced by an amount equal to your
Intelligence modi er.
EMERGENCY PRESCRIPTION
As an action, you can expend one superiority die and
touch a creature. That creature regains hit points equal

has these temporary hit points, it gains a bonus equal
to your Intelligence modi er.

there is an ally with 5 feet of you, in which you can let it

When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can
expend a superiority die to temporarily daze the
creature. Add the number rolled to the damage of the
weapon attack and the creature must succeed on a
Constitution saving throw or be stunned until the end
of its next turn.

Beginning at 6th level, whenever you expend
superiority dice to restore hit points or grant
temporary hit points to a creature, you can roll an

WHIRLWIND ATTACK
You can use your action to make melee attacks against

SUPERIOR HUNTER'S DEFENSE


At 15th level, you gain one of the following features of
your choice.
EVASION
When you are subjected to an e ect, such as a
consular's force storm or an engineer's explosion, that
allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take
only half damage, you instead take no damage if you
succeed on a saving throw, and only half damage if you
fail.
STAND AGAINST THE TIDE
When a hostile creature misses you with a melee
 attack, you can use your reaction to force that
creature to repeat the same attac against another
creature (other than itself) of your choice.
UNCANNY DODGE
When an attacker that you can see hits you with an
attack, you can use your reaction to halve the attack's
damage against you.

CHAPTER 3 | CLASSES | SCOUT 136


SLAYER TECHNIQUE
Some scouts seek to learn the most about their foes
and to capitalize on that knowledge. Follower of the
Slayer Technique focus on identifying the strengths
and weaknesses of their prey, taking advantage of that
knowledge to vanquish their foes.

BONUS PROFICIENCIES
You gain pro ciency in heavy armor.

SLAYER'S PRIDE
When you choose this technique at 3rd level, you have
advantage on saving throws against being frightened.

MARK OF THE SLAYER


Also at 3rd level, you immediately learn if the target of
your Ranger's Quarry feature has any damage
immunities, resistances, or vulnerabilities and what
they are. Additionally, the rst time you hit the target
of your Ranger's Quarry feature with a weapon attack
each turn, it takes extra damage equal to your Ranger's
Quarry Damage Die. The damage is of the same type
as the weapon's damage.

SUPERNATURAL DEFENSE
Beginning at 7th level, whenever the target of your
Ranger's Quarry forces you to make a saving throw, or
whenever you make an ability check to escape that
targets grapple, you can use your reaction and roll
your Ranger's Quarry Damage Die, adding it to the roll.

NEMESIS
Starting at 11th level, when you score a critical hit or
reduce a creature to 0 hit points on your turn, you
can use your bonus action to force one creature
of your choice that you can see within 30 feet
of you to make a Wisdom saving throw
against your tech save DC. On a failed
save, a creature becomes frightened of
you for 1 minute. At the end of each of
the creature's turns it repeats this saving
throw, ending the e ect on a success.

SLAYER'S COUNTER
At 15th level, if the target of your Ranger's
Quarry feature forces you to make a
saving throw, you can use your reaction
to make one weapon attack against it. You make this
attack immediately before making the saving throw. If
your attack hits, you automatically succeed on the
saving throw, in addition to the attack's normal e ects.

ACCOMPLISHED AMBUSHER outcome of the roll is determined.

When you choose this technique at 3rd level, when you


take the Attack action against a creature that is
surprised, you can make one additional attack against
that creature as a part of that action.

MARK OF THE STALKER


Also at 3rd level, while you are hidden from the target
of your Ranger's Quarry feature, the rst attack roll you
make each round against that creature does not
automatically reveal your presence to that creature.
Make a Dexterity (Stealth) check contested by your
target's Wisdom (Perception) check. On a success, you
remain hidden. If you are less than 30 feet from your
target, the Dexterity (Stealth) check is made with
disadvantage.

CONCEALMENT
Beginning at 7th level, you've become adept at
evading creatures that rely on darkvision.
While in darkness, you are invisible to any
creature that relies on darkvision to see you in
that darkness.
Additionally, when you hit a creature with a
ranged weapon attack while hidden, you can force
that creature to make a Dexterity saving throw
against your tech save DC. On a failed save, the
creature's speed is reduced to 0 until the end of your
next turn. You can use this feature a number of times
equal to your Intelligence modi er (minimum of one).
You regain all expended uses when you nish a short
or long rest.

STALKER'S FLURRY
Starting at 11th level, if you have advantage on a
weapon attack against a target on your turn, you can
forgo that advantage to immediately make an
additional weapon attack against the same target as a
bonus action.

PATH OF FOCUS
The ways of the Force can reveal themselves to a
sentinel through intense concentration and, most
importantly, focus. Those sentinels who follow the Path
of Focus use debilitating bursts of lightsaber strikes
and force powers to exhaust their foes, crushing any
hopes they had of mounting an e ective defense.

FOCUSED BURST
Starting when you choose this calling at 3rd level, you
learn the burst force power, which does not count
against your total powers known. Additionally, you can
use all three Force-Empowered Self options when you
cast it as your action. If more than one creature would
be a ected, and you use your Double Strike feature,
only one creature takes the additional damage. Finally,
you add your Wisdom or Charisma modi er (your
choice, minimum of +1) to damage rolls with it, and
creatures that succeed on their saving throw take half
damage, instead of none.

BLADE DANCE
Also at 3rd level, when you deal damage to a creature
within 5 feet of you, you can move up to 10 feet
without provoking opportunity attacks.

BLADE STORM
At 7th level, your bursts become even more
overwhelming. Once on your turn, when a creature
takes damage from you twice, you can immediately
make one additional attack against that creature (no
action required). This attack uses your Kinetic Combat
die instead of the weapon's damage die.

FOCUSED FLOW
By 13th level, whenever you use a Force-Empowered
Self feature, you may instead expend no force points
and roll a d4 in place of your Kinetic Combat die.

MASTER STRIKE
At 18th level, your bursts can overpower even

Otherwise, it lands at your feet.
You can use Wisdom or Charisma instead of Strength
or Dexterity for the attack and damage rolls.

You can have two weapons bonded to you in this


way at a time, and you can summon both of them to
you with the same bonus action.

TWIN SABER THROW


At 7th level, when you cast saber throw
while wielding your forceblade, you can
attack the same target multiple times.
Additionally, when you deal damage
to a creature within 30 feet of you with
your forceblade, you can use your bonus
action to teleport to within 5 feet of that creature and
make a melee weapon attack against that creature.
This attack uses your Kinetic Combat die instead
of your weapon's damage die. You can use this
feature a number of times equal to your

PATH OF SHADOWS
In darkness, there is protection. Those
sentinels who follow the Path of Shadows
utilize a calculated plan, becoming masters
of stealth and ambush who forgo the head-on
attack for the vulnerable ank.

DEAD SILENCE
Starting when you choose this calling at 3rd level, you
learn the psychic charge force power, which does not
count against your total powers known. Additionally,
you can use Wisdom or Charisma as your forcecasting
ability for it, and you can use all three Force-
Empowered Self options when you cast it as your
action and hit the target. Finally, when you hit a
creature with the psychic charge force power and the
target tries to speak, it takes additional damage equal
to your Wisdom or Charisma modi er (your choice,
minimum of +1), and its voice does not produce sound
until the end of your next turn.

CLOAK OF SHADOWS
Also at 3rd level, you can take the Hide action as a
bonus action on your turn. Additionally, you can try to
hide when you are lightly obscured from the creature
from which you are hiding.

SHADOW STRIKE
At 7th level, you learn to strike from the shadows. Once
per turn, you can deal an extra 1d6 damage to one
creature you hit with an attack if you have advantage
on the roll.
The extra damage increases to 2d6 at 11th level and
3d6 at 17th level.

SHADOW STEP
By 13th level, you gain the ability to step from one
shadow into another. While you are in dim light or
darkness, as a bonus action you can teleport up to 60
feet to an unoccupied space you can see that is also in
dim light or darkness. You then have advantage on
the rst melee attack you make before the end of
the turn.

SHADOW'S WRATH
At 18th level, your training has taught you advanced
techniques while you maneuver in the shadows.
While you are hidden from your target, the rst
attack roll you make each round does not
automatically reveal your presence. Make a
Dexterity (Stealth) check against your target's

shaping their ideals, creating strong bonds, and often
leaving them scarred and mentally vulnerable.

Variant: Equipment Sizes
In most campaigns, you can use or wear any
equipment that you nd on your adventures, within
the bounds of common sense. For example, a burly
wookiee won't t in a jawa's combat suit, and an
ugnaught would be swallowed up in a gamorrean's
hooded cloak.
The GM can impose more realism. For example, a
suit of armor made for one human might not t
another one without signi cant alterations, and a
guard's uniform might be visibly ill- tting when an
adventurer tries to wear it as a disguise.
Using this variant, when adventurers nd armor,
clothing, and similar items that are made to be worn,
they might need to visit an armormech, synthweaver,
or similar expert to make the item wearable. The cost
for such work varies from 10 to 40 percent of the
market price of the item. The GM can either roll
1d4x100 or determine the increase in cost based on
the extent of the alterations required.

ARMOR CLASS (AC)


Armor protects its wearer from attacks. The armor
(and shield) you wear determines your armor class
(AC).

Many armors and shield have special properties
related to their use, as shown in the Armor table.
BULKY
While wearing armor with the bulky property, you have

strength property, your speed is reduced by 10 unless
you meet the strength requirement.

The expenses and lifestyles described in this chapter
assume that you are spending your time between
adventures in cities, availing yourself of whatever
services you can a ord— paying for food and shelter,
paying townspeople to repair your equipment, and so
on. Some characters, though, might prefer to spend
their time away from civilization, sustaining
themselves in the wild by hunting, foraging, and
repairing their own gear.
Maintaining this kind of lifestyle doesn't require you
to spend any coin, but it is time-consuming. If you
spend your time between adventures practicing a
profession, as described in chapter 8, you can eke out

you spot, hear, or otherwise detect the presence of
something. It measures your general awareness of
your surroundings and the keenness of your senses.
For example, you might try to hear a conversation
through a closed door, eavesdrop under an open
window, or hear monsters moving stealthily in the
forest. Or you might try to spot things that are
obscured or easy to miss, whether they are orcs lying
in ambush on a road, thugs hiding in the shadows of
an alley, or candlelight under a closed secret door.
Survival. The GM might ask you to make a Wisdom
(Survival) check to follow tracks, hunt wild game, guide
your group through frozen wastelands, identify signs
that rancors live nearby, predict the weather, or avoid
quicksand and other natural hazards.
Other Wisdom Checks. The GM might call for a
Wisdom check when you try to accomplish tasks like
the following:
Get a gut feeling about what course of action to follow
Discern Whether a seemingly dead or living creature is
undead

FORCECASTING ABILITY
Forcecasters use Wisdom as their forcecasting ability
for their light side and universal powers, which helps
determine the saving throw DCs of powers they cast.
