In honor of the new Force Awakens Trailer being released (which is AWESOME by the way), I thought it’d be cool do a few of the Star Wars races up for kick ass White Star RPG system.
Wrathofzombie White Star Classes

After combat the wookie is exhausted and suffers -2 to all rolls and AC until they rest fully for one hour. This ability cannot be used again until the exhaustion has passed.

Twi’lek
Lekku: All twi’lek have brain tails on their heads that make it difficult for targets to sneak up on them. The threat range of a creature attempting to surprise a twi’lek is reduced by 1 (IE. a thug that normally would surprise a target on a 1-2 on a d6 is now only able to surprise on a 1). Twi’lek are able to communicate with one another through the movements of their lekku.
Charisma: Twi’lek are renowned for their physical beauty (especially females). Twi’lek roll 2d20 and take the higher of the two for all Charisma tests.
Connection Rules
At character creation a play can create two level 1 contacts or one level 2 contact. After this initial point, all contacts must be gained through role-playing. A contact could be a whore, a starship captain, a hacker, a bouncer at a local bar, a fixer, a fencer, etc. It’s up to the player to decide who they are.
Level 1 Contacts- Standard contact. You use them sometimes and they may remember you, but then again they might not. They could have information you need, but they also might not know a Hacker from a shoebox. They have no loyalty to you and would rat you out at the first sign of trouble.
Level 2 Contacts- You see them on a semi-regular basis. You may have done a few favors for them, or passed enough credits their way that they’ve become more endeared, to you and you’ve become buddies. You receive +1 to Charisma checks when attempting to get a Level 2 contact to do something for you.
Level 3 Contacts- These are more than buddies to you. They are stout friends who will stand by you. You may have grown up with this person, or saved their life. You see this person on a regular basis, and really don’t even think of them as a contact anymore. Usually a level 3 contact will do whatever they can to help you- even risk bodily harm. If a test is needed to convince the contact to help you in some way, you receive +2 to the Charisma check.
This is in conjunction to the Tech Specialists Connections ability.
Skills
Skills: Each class, unless stated in their description starts with two skills of their choice. Rather than creating an extensive list of skills, let the player come up with their own skills. These can be things like piloting, hacking, security, technology, alien cultures, trade, persuasion, intimidation, etc.
By-and-large a player character is able to attempt anything (however a GM is free to decided that certain things do require a skill, especially highly specialized things like hacking locks, etc.). To do this the GM decides which attribute is appropriate and the player rolls a d20 and must roll equal to or under their attribute. If they roll over, the attempt fails. When a player character has a skill, they receive a +2 bonus. A player may take a skill twice, giving them a +4 bonus.
Example: Big Eye James is attempting to pull a card from out of his cuff in a game of poker. The GM asks if he has an appropriate skill. James has sleight of hand, which the GM feels is more than appropriate for this situation. Big Eye James has a Dexterity of 13- adding +2 to that for the Sleight of Hand skill. Big Eye James rolls a 11 on his d20, thus succeeding on placing a card in his hand.
