A new rules page, armor-upgrades.php, has been added to the Equipment section of SWURPG. This page introduces a full suite of armor upgrade overlays — including Stealth Plating, Thermal Shielding, Personal Shield Emitters, and more — each with normalized pricing and recommended level usage. The page is inspired by upgrade systems from Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) and integrates seamlessly with the existing Weapon & Lightsaber Upgrades system. The Equipment index has been updated with a dedicated link to armor upgrades for quick reference.

Version 1.5 delivers the largest overhaul to SWURPG so far. Classes, subclasses, traits, species, Force powers, and core rules all received major revisions aimed at boosting balance, clarity, and overall fun. Many class traits and Force powers were rewritten for tighter gameplay, clearer usage, and better synergy across roles. Species now follow a more consistent structure, several trait interactions were clarified, and defensive mechanics were streamlined. Multiple pages received expanded examples and rule clarifications to help players better understand action timing, conditions, line of sight, skill usage, and Force Point management.
