ABOUT THE SYSTEM
The core mechanic of Edge of the Empire is the skill check, which utilizes a pool of custom dice. No matter what task you undertake, you’ll roll a pool of “positive” and “negative” dice and compare their results. If your successes outnumber your failures, your character succeeds, but even successes may be loaded with myriad dramatic possibilities.
Edge of the Empire adds to the narrative impact of your skill checks with the addition of “advantage” and “threat” results. Your character may successfully repair the transfer circuits in his ship just in time for a dramatic jump to light-speed only to come out of hyperspace in the middle of an asteroid field. He may take a wrong turn into a dead-end alley while trying to outrun a pair of Gamorrean mercenaries but discover that the Gamorrean’s are susceptible to bribes. No matter the situation, your skill checks do more than just resolve a single action; they help drive the story forward!
