Three new species are detailed in this book. What surprised me the most was how much of this book did not retread what had been established by Special Modifications. Similarly, the crafting section focuses on facility and ship/vehicle crafting and doesn’t go over the gear/droid/cybernetics of the other book. It could also allow for some interesting multi-classing giving a PC an opportunity to stack lots of ranks of talents like Machine Mender and Hidden Storage, while also providing new talents in this book like Design Flaw (add 1 advantage per rank when attacking droids at personal scale) and Repair Patch Specialization (heal an additional wound per rank when using an emergency repair patch). This was a refreshing change from seeing careers like Heavy being copied whole-cloth between lines. The trees have some similar skills, but some unique ones as well. When reviewing this book, I immediately grabbed my copy of Special Modifications to see if there was any overlap, and I had to do a bit of a double-take: in the new Age book one of the new specializations is Droid Specialist, but in the Edge book it is Droid Tech. In this case, they resisted that temptation, and this book is a better value for it. One could almost understand if FFG wanted to copy and paste from the excellent Edge sourcebook for technicians Special Modifications. We’ve seen this show up in the past with FFG repeating certain species and specializations that could apply to careers in either line. Both Edge and Age have some overlap when it comes to careers and specializations that make sense for PCs in both lines. This sourcebook expands the options available for the Engineer career, and adds three new species, three new specialization options, as well as some interesting crafting options to the FFG Star Wars system.Īs always, the career sourcebooks follow the familiar format of three sections: player options, gear/vehicles, and finally additional mechanics and systems for GM and PC use. The latest sourcebook for Fantasy Flight Games Star Wars Age of Rebellion is Fully Operational.
