- "In our efforts, we have learned that life is not rare. Rather, given a chance, life will occur. It is tenacious, aggressive—it seems to crave existence."
- ―Tem Eliss, sentientologist
Species in Star Wars are a big deal. Their existence is something that separates the Lore from other Science Fiction, where even if a culture is only mentioned once, people will flock to try and create characters from it. Each Species has something unique about them, from being able to regenerate limbs, to being able to breathe underwater! It’s fascinating, really, but also creates a struggle for us to incorporate into a balanced system. And on top of that, we don’t use dice rolls or algorithms for our system and game. So, “balancing” becomes subjective to the ones in charge of organizing and maintaining the system.
Wookiees: An Example
Let's take Wookiees for example. As you can see below in their entry, Wookiees are extremely powerful. However, it never really made sense to say that ALL Wookiees got a “+1” to Might. +1 to Might becomes relative to...what exactly? Average Human strength? How do we even? (On a scale of 1-11, you can’t even). Instead, you see that the language focuses more on “feats” (oohh, that’s why they call them that??) of strength like holding open a blast door.
With that strength and size, of course, comes the sour fact that you can’t really fit a Wookiee in your secret compartment in the cargo hold. They are also kind of hard to get to blend in with even a crowd of mixed humanoids. This is made apparent with the second species feat, and provides a balance to the merit. You will see this present in every Species.
Policies
To view the formal policy used for adding Species to the Character Sheet System, please see the Species Approval Policy.
Hybrids
Hybrid species are not very common, but have been known to appear in Canon content. For example, Humans and Twi'leks have born hybrid children in the Clone Wars animated series. Currently, we have very specific requirements for the treatment of Hybrid combinations in our system. The most notable requirement is for the desired races to be of similar origin, that means Reptilian Humanoids cannot mate with Mammalian Humanoids.
The way we handle this is that a Hybrid member picks a dominant Species as their selected Species on the Character Creation Tool. Then, in their Physical Description Field, they can elaborate on the cosmetic differences their character is afforded based on the notable traits of their secondary Species. Hybrids only allow for the combining of two species in this manner, and both must be from the approved species list.
You can see an example of a half-Human, half-Chiss NPC Harry West's character sheet.
For more specific details for incorporating a Hybrid selection for your character, refer to the Species section of the Character Sheet Approval Guidelines.
In short:
- A hybrid Species will only get Feats from their Primary Species. They do not get Feats of the Secondary.
- A hybrid Species can have cosmetic elements of their Secondary Species worked into their Physical Description.
- A hybrid Species can only have two species utilized. Both of these species must be from the list below.
- Hybrids can only be formed by the same-typed species. e.g. Humanoids can only hybridize with humanoids. Reptilians can only hybridize with Reptilians. A Mammalian Humanoid cannot hybridize with a Mammalian Non-humanoid.
