We use a variation of the D20 roleplaying system, so if you're unfamiliar we suggest you familiarize yourself with the D20 systems before beginning Character Generation.		The Character Generation system on Pax Republica should feel familiar to experienced MUSHers who have played on past Star Wars MUSHes, but be easy enough for new players to understand and progress through. We use a variation of the D20 roleplaying system, so if you're unfamiliar we suggest you familiarize yourself with the D20 systems before beginning Character Generation.

	* Keep in mind that all living creatures in the Star Wars universe have the Force within them. However, for the purposes of character limits/character generation (see [[Characters & Alternates]]), "Force Sensitive" is defined as a character who possesses Force skills. A character may have Force sensitivity on its sheet but may not possess any Force skills. For example, perhaps a character's connection to the Force simply allows him to be very good at a non-Force skill, such as [[Pilot]] or [[Astrogation]].		* Keep in mind that all living creatures in the Star Wars universe have the Force within them.

	* Characters with Force Sensitivity are not given additional skill or attribute ~~points~~ to use toward Force abilities.

	* [[Miraluka]] who have not chosen to raise any Force skills other than the [[Force Sight]] +2 bonus given by the Force Awareness racial do not count against the limit.

	==== Specializations ====		=== Specializations ===
	Specializations are special skills which represent a character's focus on a certain specific aspect of the parent skill, and can only be used in specific situations. For example, the "Blaster Pistol" specialization ~~points '''and'''~~ "Shoot" skill ~~points will be added~~ when the character is ~~specifically~~ using a blaster pistol. A single skill point is worth 2 specialization points. Specializations may not be leveled up in increments less than 2, and require at least 1 point in the parent skill.

	Traits are character advantages or flaws which go beyond what skills and attributes can easily define. They allow you to choose quirks, talents, and conditions to further expand and define your character. You can choose as many or as few traits as you want, but they all have a point value; traits which provide an advantage cost points, while those which put your character at a disadvantage refund points.

	Choose your traits carefully; while they provide bonuses or penalties to your character rolls, they are intended to add more dimension to your character, and your roleplay. Don't take a trait you don't intend to play. We don't want to see players taking multiple negative traits just so they can also take multiple beneficial traits and then pretend the negative ones don't exist during actual roleplay.

	The number of languages you can speak in addition to your native tongue is determined by your Knowledge modifier plus any additional points you have in the [[Language]] skill.

Players are not required to use all allowances.
