Age of the Old Republic Preview: Legendary Characters

Looking beyond level 10, characters have come into their own and have learned all there is to learn. Players have an idea of what or who their character is and what they can do. Progression beyond this point is about perfecting what your character is already good at and in large part, becoming more formidable. AGE is about simplicity, and I did not want to overly complicate matters by adding in a host of new class features. The way I saw it, characters at these levels are overcoming some of the obstacles of the system. Namely, how high AR can effectively nullify attacks and being able to do more with your turn.

  1. Boy, you better get back to this and make my game happens. First, all data about Age of Rebellion just disappear from the internet, then you are sucked by blog void. Do you think I’m smart enough to keep this work? All I can do is help spread it out.

    By the way, thanks for all the work man, thanks a lot!
    May the Force be with you.

    1. I’d love to and I tried to bring back my Star Wars group this past summer but it just didn’t work. If I played this, I would make content for it, but otherwise, I am letting others to carry the torch.
