The Next Generation of Star Wars Tabletop Adventure

    ASI Alternative Traits

    When you reach an Ability Score Improvement level (4, 8, 12, 16, or 19), you can choose one of these traits instead of increasing your ability scores. These options let you specialize your character with new combat techniques, Force capabilities, defensive styles, tech tricks, and advanced training.

    Unless stated otherwise, each trait can be taken only once, and some require prerequisites noted in their descriptions.

    Combat Traits

    Toughness

    Years of punishment have conditioned your body beyond ordinary limits. You gain +2 HP per level. This applies retroactively and every time you level up.

    Second Wind

    You tap into deep reserves of resilience. Once per Long Rest, you can use a Bonus Action to regain hit points equal to 1d10 + your character level. If you already have Second Wind from another source, you instead gain one additional use of it between Long Rests.

    Point Blank Shot

    You excel at close-range marksmanship. You gain a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls with ranged weapons against targets within Point-Blank Range.

    Far Shot

    Your aim remains steady at extended distances. When you use a ranged weapon at Short, Medium, or Long Range, treat the range category as one step closer for the purpose of attack penalties.

    Assured Attack

    You turn glancing blows into solid hits. When you deal damage with an attack that rolls multiple damage dice, you can reroll the lowest damage die. You must use the new result, even if it is lower.

    Deadeye

    You excel at long-range marksmanship. You gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls with ranged weapons against targets beyond Short Range.
