Below you can find the full reference guide for Character Sheet Skills. All documentation is based on the Skills 2.0 project headed up by the Combat Master, Voice Staff, and Character Sheet Development Team.
The goal of these tables is to give the writers of the DB an accurate point of reference for how to write their characters. Please note that the examples provided are not meant to limit what you can do with your character, simply to give you the idea, scope, and scale of what they could achieve.
Resolve
Resolve is one of the core skill attributes along with Intellect and Perception. You can find answers to some frequently asked questions involving Resolve and how it interacts with other skills and powers here.
| Resolve |
| Resolve is your character's willpower and their ability to handle stress, keep a level head, and stand firm in the face of danger. It is also your character's mental resilience against both skills and the effects of Force-based intrusions of the mind such as Intimidation, Mind Trick, Suppression, Illusion, Terror, and Force Interrogation. The higher a character’s Resolve is, relative to an attack/threat Skill or Force Power, the less effective the attack's result is in conjunction with that character's skills. Only in the scenario of an extreme disparity in ability could Resolve outright prevent the onset of an ability. |
