Skills — 23 Skills, Gritty Build

6+INT per level — Technician 8+INT — Jedi/Pilot 4+INT — Max Rank = Level+3 — Trained Only †

You get 6 + INT mod skill ranks per level (Technician 8+INT, Jedi Guardian/Councilor and Pilot 4+INT). Minimum 1 per level even if INT negative. First level you get 4×? No — you get Level 1 ranks = 6+INT (or 8+INT / 4+INT). Max ranks in any skill = Level + 3. Level 1 cap = 4. Level 10 cap = 13.

Trained Only † — You cannot attempt DC >10 without at least 1 rank. Expertise, Astrogation, Demolitions, Maintenance, Investigation are always Trained Only. Security is Trained Only when building/slicing under stress, but can be used untrained for simple locks.

Crafting — Expertise + Technical Pair

To build you need BOTH:

• Expertise: [Field] — do you know what it is?
• Technical Skill † — can you make it?

DC	Complexity	Time	Example
15	Simple	2 hrs	Det-charge timer, tripwire
20	Moderate	8 hrs	Security spike, lock, engine part, blaster mod
25	Complex	24 hrs	Droid, speeder component, nav patch
30	Advanced	4 days	Hyperdrive mod, starship comp, combat droid brain

Roll Expertise to design (DC=build DC), then Technical Skill to build (DC=same). Failure = no progress; fail by 2+ degrees = waste ½ materials or accident. Rush: -5 to check = -1 Time Rank (½ time). Need 1+ rank in both to attempt.

Pairs: Generic gear = Maintenance†+Expertise • Security tool = Security+Expertise • Bomb = Demolitions†+Expertise • Nav route = Astrogation†+Expertise

Jury-Rig: Maintenance DC-5 as Standard, lasts 1 scene, then must rebuild.

Class Skills & Background

If skill is class skill and you have 1+ rank, you get +2 circumstance (trained competence). Background kits give +2 to 2 skills at L1.
