4. DESCRIBE YOUR CHARACTER


Once you know the basic game aspects of your
character, it's time to flesh 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 flesh 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
offer additional backgrounds beyond the ones
included in the Personality and Background section,
and might be willing to work with you to craft a
background that's a more precise fit for your character
concept.
A background gives your character a background
feature (a general benefit) and proficiency in two skills,
and it might also give you additional languages or
proficiency with certain kinds of tools. Record this
information, along with the personality information
you develop, on your character sheet.

BIOLOGY AND APPEARENCE


The duros are humanoids with smooth blue-green
skin, red eyes, lipless mouths, long thin noseless faces
and green blood. Olfactory organs beneath their eyes
are responsible for their sense of smell. Both females
and males are bald, though both genders are easily
distinguished. Their large red goggle-like eyes have slit
pupils. Duros females lay eggs as they are descended
from ancient reptiles, and they are born in a larval grub
stage. Unlike similar species, the duros take care of
their offspring from birth.

BERSERKER
A massive wookiee hunter prowls through the forest, hefting
his vibroaxe. With a roar he charges at the pair of
trandoshans who dared poach his kin.
A gamorrean snarls at the latest challenger to his
authority over their savage tribe, ready to break his
neck with his bare hands as he did to the last six rivals.
Frothing at the mouth, a nikto slams his helmet into
the face of his foe, then turns to drive his armored
elbow into the gut of another.
These berserkers, different as they might be, are
defined 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 reflexes,
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
sufficient 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

the Marauder Approach Forcecasting table, + your
Wisdom or Charisma modifier (your choice). You use
these force points to cast force powers. You regain all
expended force points when you finish a long rest.
MAX POWER LEVEL
Many force powers can be overpowered, consuming
more force points to create a greater effect. You can
overpower these abilities to a maximum level, which
increases at higher levels, as shown in the Max Power
Level column of the Marauder Approach Forcecasting
table.
You may only cast force powers at 4th-level once.
You regain the ability to do so after a long rest.
FORCECASTING ABILITY
Your forcecasting ability varies based on the

alignment of the powers you cast. You use

Wisdom for light side powers, Charisma

for dark side powers, and Wisdom or Charisma for


universal powers (your choice). You use this ability
whenever a power refers to your forcecasting ability.
Additionally, you use this ability modifier when setting
the saving throw DC for a force power you cast and
when making an attack roll with one.

POWERFUL PRESENCE
Marauder Approach: 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 finish a long rest.

FORCE STORM
Marauder Approach: 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.

CHAPTER 3 | CLASSES | BERSERKER 56


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 fine point,
becoming agile warriors who ruthlessly dispatch their
foes.

CAREFUL STEPS
Precision Approach: 3rd level

You gain skills that represent your precise movement.


You gain proficiency in your choice of Acrobatics or
Stealth. While raging, you have advantage on checks
you make with the chosen skill.

FOCUSED RAGE
Precision Approach: 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
Precision Approach: 6th level

While raging, your critical hit range with melee weapon


attacks using Dexterity increases by 1.

IMPROVED DANGER SENSE


Precision Approach: 10th level

While raging, when you are subjected to an effect that


allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take
only half damage against effects that you can see, such
as traps and powers, you are treated as proficient 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


Precision Approach: 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
proficiency 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.

WARCHIEF APPROACH

to wash away their fatigue.
COMMANDING RAGE
Warchief Approach: 3rd level

You become more aware of your allies, and their intent


when fighting 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.
You can use this feature twice. You gain an additional
use at 5th, 9th, 13th, and 17th level. You regain all
expended uses when you complete a short or long
rest.

INSPIRING PRESENCE
Warchief Approach: 6th level

Your mere presence on the battlefield 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
+ your Charisma modifier (minimum of +1).

RAID PLANNING
Warchief Approach: 10th level

You learn to flare 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 modifier
(minimum of +1) to their next initiative roll, and a 10
foot bonus to their speed on their first turn of combat.

WAR CHANT
Warchief Approach: 14th level

You have memorized the litanies, songs, and chants of


your people and their dedication to war. When you
enter a rage on your turn, you can enter a
commanding rage for one minute. When you do so,
during this turn and at the start of each of your turns,
you have a number of special reactions equal to your
proficiency bonus you can only use for your
Commanding Rage feature. When you use
Commanding Rage with these special reactions, they
do not count against your uses of that feature. You can
only use one reaction per turn. 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 the attack by an amount equal to your
Charisma modifier.
Once you've used this feature, you must complete a
long rest before you can use it again.

CHAPTER 3 | CLASSES | BERSERKER 58


CONSULAR
A twi'lek in black robes steps on a terrified rodian, who
scampers away on the ground. Lightning sparks from
his fingers, illuminating his red and black tattoos. The
rodian's pleas for mercy fall on deaf ears as the Sith
channels his lightning into his failed apprentice, leaving
nothing but a charred husk behind.
Sitting cross-legged on a dense patch of grass, a
miraluka mystic meditates on the Force. With every
breath, the trees sway with a rhythmic breeze. Though
she lacks simple vision, she can see the Force as it
moves everything around her.
A drably-robed human focuses inward, channeling
the Force into the ground around him. Slowly, all the
debris within arms reach rises into the air around him;
with a flick of his wrist, he clears the air, sending his
projectiles to pound on the approaching tank.
Consulars are the supreme wielders of the Force,
defined and united by the powers they cast. Drawing
on the omnipresent Force that permeates the
universe, consulars cast powers of rejuvenating healing
and destructive lightning, draining life-force and
manipulating minds; the most powerful with the Force
can even experience brief glimpses of the future.

STRONG WITH THE FORCE


Refraining from drawing their lightsabers except as a
measure of last resort, consulars spend a great deal of
time studying the mysteries of the Force. Their
knowledge allows them to channel the Force to greater
heights, unlocking unrivaled power, and twisting those
powers to greater effect.
CREATING A CONSULAR
While creating your consular, consider your personal
philosophy in regards to the Force and its most famous
practitioners – the Jedi and the Sith. Are you a member
of one of the two orders, or do you walk a different
path? Perhaps you were ostracized from your primitive
village out of superstition or jealousy. You may have
been brutally trained from a young age in the dark
side, fueling your innate thirst for power, or perhaps
you were trained as a padawan in one of the Jedi
temples. How do you treat strangers, and how do they
treat you once they know your abilities? What was your

Force to create a barrier on yourself that lasts until you
finish a long rest. The barrier has hit points equal to
twice your consular level + your Wisdom or Charisma

points greater than twice your consular level +

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

wire. He peers through his tinted goggles, ignoring the
shouts of his ship captain as the enemy descends on

energy. He gathers his tools and runs into the ship

A Cerean officer surveys the battlefield, looking for
weaknesses. When he identifies a potential problem,
he keys in a quick combination in his wristpad. In a
blink, a custom suit of armor assembles itself around
him. As the helmet locks into place, the officer leaps
into the air, flying overhead and raining destruction on
the opposition.

GUARDIAN
A dark-skinned human quickly runs down a corridor, the
metal armor under his grey cloak clanking with each
step. He rounds the corner into the prison while the
lights and power are still out, urging the weakened
prisoners to escape. Just then a handful of slavers
arrive and ready their blasters. The man draws and
ignites a white-bladed lightsaber, ready to die for the
strangers behind him.
A sith pureblood, clad head to toe in black and red
armor, charges towards a line of soldiers. Shot after
shot deflects off his armor until he reaches his prey,
where he unleashes his fury in a series of devastating
lightsaber sweeps.
A zabrak general dramatically leaps to his soon-to-be
overrun squad, landing with a flurry of lightsaber
attacks. At the arrival of this powerful Jedi, the
attackers fall back.
Guardians are the master of the art of lightsaber
combat. They focus on utilizing the everpresent power
of the Force to enable devastating attacks, often single-
handedly turning the tide of battle.

PROTECTOR OR DESTROYER
An unstoppable agent of the Force, the guardian
channels the power flowing through him into his
weapons. Their skills with a lightsaber are unrivalled.
Subduing their enemies and bolstering their allies, the
guardian uses the Force to control what happens
around them.

CREATING A GUARDIAN
While creating your guardian, consider your attraction
to the Force and its most famous practitioners – the
Jedi and the Sith. Are you a member of one of the two
orders, or do you walk a different path? Are you a
soldier tapping into a latent Force-sensitivity? Were you
trained in the force from a young age, or did you
discover it as an adult? How do you treat those weaker
than you? What was your family like? Do you see the

Moving with the silence of the night, a black-clad

Monks make careful study of a mystical energy that
most monastic orders call focus. This energy is an
element of the power that suffuses the galaxy—
specifically, the element that flows through living
bodies. Monks harness this energy within themselves
to create powerful effects and exceed their bodies'
physical capabilities, and some of their special attacks
can hinder the flow of focus in their opponents. Using
this energy, monks channel uncanny speed and
strength into their unarmed strikes. As they gain

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
Matukai Order: 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 melee weapon attack with a 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 half as much damage and isn't pushed.

INSTINCTIVE LEAP
Matukai Order: 6th 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 four times. You gain an
additional use at 13th and 17th level. You regain all
expended uses when you finish a long rest.

OPERATIVE
A Bothan spy takes a moment to adjust her infrared goggles.
Nimbly sidestepping the laser grid in the room, she
slips to the computer at the far end. Counting down
the seconds in her head, she slices the mainframe.
Twenty seconds. Ten seconds. A handful of soldiers
bursts into the room, but she is already gone – with the
data in hand.
With a wary eye on the door, a scruffy-looking Duros
plays pazaak in a seedy cantina. When two city guards
appear at the exit, he smiles and reaches under the
table. Before they can move in, the smuggler flips the
table and opens fire. The crowd scatters in panic, giving
him just enough cover to escape.
A gorgeous young human dances before an
intoxicated senator in his parlor. She winks enticingly
through her golden blonde hair as she sways closer.
Leaning in for a kiss, the senator is instead surprised
by the barrel of a hold-out blaster pistol shoved into
his mouth. He has no time to shout before the assassin
pulls the trigger.
Operatives, whether good, bad, or neutral, are those
who focus on a specific practice and utilize it to get the
upper hand. They can come from any world or region
in the galaxy, with origins from the lowliest scoundrel
to the once social elite.

EVADING DANGER
Operatives have a knack for getting out of trouble.
They have an instinct for self-preservation that keeps
them alive, but it's usually tempered with a need to
experience the thrills that their profession has to offer,
and many adventurous operatives are also saddled
with a sense of honor that sometimes makes them go
against their natural inclinations. No matter what their
immediate concerns may be, survival is the name of
the game.

CREATING AN OPERATIVE
While creating your operative character, consider how
you first started on your path. Maybe you were raised
on the street and fell into the criminal element as a
means of survival. You could be a simple trader who
decided to strike against the Sith Empire when it
encroached on your business. What would you say is

will have a plan for anything that comes their way.

THE PURSUIT OF KNOWLEDGE


A true scholar is never satisfied. 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

officers 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 field you wish to

Rough and grizzled looking, a human stalks alone through
the shadows of trees, hunting the quarry he knows is
planning a raid on a nearby settlement. Clutching a
techblade in each hand, he becomes a whirlwind of
steel, cutting down one enemy after another.
After tumbling away from the shrapnel of a missile's

explosion, a bothan finds her feet and quick-fires two

shots from her carbine at the oncoming tank.

weaponry to overcome their foes.

and hunting the monsters that threaten civilization—
humanoid raiders, rampaging beasts and
monstrosities, terrible Force-wielders, and renegade
droids. They learn to track their quarry as a predator

themselves in brush and rubble. Scouts focus their

Clad in black robes, the rattataki pulls his hood forward and

While creating your sentinel, consider your personal
philosophy in regards to the Force and its most famous
practitioners – the Jedi and the Sith. Are you a member
of one of the two orders, or do you walk a different

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 effective defense.

FOCUSED BURST
Path of Focus: 3rd level

You learn the burst force power, which does not count
against your total powers known. Additionally, you can
use The Double Strike Force-Empowered Self options
when you cast it as your action. If more than one
creature would be affected, only one creature takes
the additional damage. Finally, you add your Wisdom

damage rolls with it, and creatures that succeed on
their saving throw take half damage, instead of none.

against that creature (no action required). This attack
uses your Kinetic Combat die instead of the weapon's

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
Path of Shadows: 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.

You gain the ability to step from one shadow into


another. While you are in dim light or darkness, as a

unoccupied space you can see that is also in dim

light or darkness. You then have advantage on the

first melee attack you make before the end of the

turn.

worlds of Star Wars.
VARIANT: EQUIPMENT SIZES
In most campaigns, you can use or wear any
equipment that you find on your adventures, within
the bounds of common sense. For example, a burly
wookiee won't fit 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 fit
another one without significant alterations, and a
guard's uniform might be visibly ill-fitting when an
adventurer tries to wear it as a disguise.
Using this variant, when adventurers find 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
1d4x10 or determine the increase in cost based on the
extent of the alterations required.

Armor protects its wearer from attacks. The armor

Self-Sufficiency
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 afford— 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
the equivalent of a poor lifestyle. Proficiency in the
Survival skill lets you live at the equivalent of a
comfortable lifestyle.

ABILITY CHECKS
An ability check tests a character's or monster's innate
talent and training in an effort to overcome a
challenge. The GM calls for an ability check when a
character or monster attempts an action (other than
an attack) that has a chance of failure. When the
outcome is uncertain, the dice determine the results.
For every ability check, the GM decides which of the
six abilities is relevant to the task at hand and the
difficulty of the task, represented by Difficulty Class
(DC). The more difficult a task, the higher its DC. The
Ability Check DCs table shows common DCs.

it's time to consider your next steps. The fun

of D&D is in playing the game, not just

making up characters (though that's fun, too).

and fight vile and malevolent creatures from Scum and Villainy.

Explore robust cities and all they have to offer

utilizing the Wretched Hives expansion,

or build your own using Galactic Strongholds.

Bring your games to life with a suite of enhancements,

using physical and digital tools, or accessories like

miniatures, mats, maps, and more.

Star Wars 5th Edition is also available on roll20.net for those

who can't find a regular gaming group in your city.
