Am I missing something or is that the current expected behavior? I also noticed a minor typo in the Characteristic field for skills (it's misspelled Charactetistic).

I will muck around with the ruleset and libraries some more and we will playtest the entire thing next week during our session. I'll be sure to post any suggestions and bugs reports here. Again, thanks for all your hard work!

Whoops, good catch on the typo — that’ll be an easy fix.

Regarding the “Not in FG DB” — you’re referring to my python script, right? It’s possible that the NPCs are in fact in the FG modules but named too differently for my script to figure it out. I might be able to tweak it so it finds them, if so. If the Adversaries JSON files have extra or more that aren’t there then that’s expected.

Sevrick is the one who created the libraries we have in google drive, and I know he adds content by book, meaning I am not sure which books he added npcs, items, vehicles from already
You can have an idea from which books, by activating all libraries, and then checking a database

For example, activate all libraries, open the npc database
Under filters, try to check the "Source" filter, it will show the name of sources (books)

I am not sure if Sevrick added npcs from the Adversaries book yet

Thanks, will do! Libraries are modules, right?

Ah yes, libraries = modules.

By the way I checked those sources, and it does not seem like the book is in the modules yet.

That reminded me, I think that Sevrick mentioned at some point about the "black" books, the ones that dont really belong to one of the three pillars of Star Wars, and that it would probably become a new module.

I will see if I can talk to him about this, see if he is starting one, and update you all here.

As for Force Rating, it is listed as Total / Spent / Remaining. If you add a skill to a Force Power (on the action tab), it adds the "Total" number of Force Points you have, to those skill rolls - but it shouldn't. It should use the "Remaining" number. If you commit Force Points, it counts as if your current Force rating is "Total minus Committed Force Points". Which means, that if you have committed any Force Points you can't use those dice for rolls.

Also, instead of Total / Spent / Remaining, wouldn't it be more correct to call it Total / Committed / Current?

Just my 2 Imperial credits worth of thought!

I have just updated the two rulesets with some fixes Sean did for this.

Just hit "check for updates" and the changes will be downloaded.

Hi! Does your script capture the talent detailed descriptions and species abilities from Oggdude XML files? The talent description fields seem to be blank and there's nothing under the Special Abilities window. Just making sure it's the current behavior and not a mistake on my part.

It should be for all the Talents and Spec Trees. When I run it, it does grab the talents updates all of them , as well as spec trees. You need to make sure all those XML files are copied to the same directory.

I haven’t added code for it to do Species Abilities because I didn’t see those in the Ogg data, but I could look again. And we don’t use the Special Abilities in the FG modules.

Yes I am started working on the Clone Wars books right now. I had stopped for awhile but now I am back at it.
Rise of the Separatist and Collapse of the Republic will be one module. I am going to upload Rise of the Separatist 1st then Collapse of the Republic in a separate update.

As for the Compendiums I think it might be better if they were separated so each one has it's own library. So that if you are preping some enemies for an adventure you need not load all the starship and all the gear along with it.

I remember I asked in the past what you would prefer and I think the general consensus was that the compendiums being separate was preferred.

Hi All.

Is there a dice pack for the Star Wars FFG dice symbols to show when the dice are rolled instead of the numbers?
