Gameplay [edit]

The game's system is based on Wizards of the Declension's Star Wars Roleplaying Game, which is based on the d20 part-playing game organization derived from the Third Edition Dungeons & Dragons rules. Combat is round-based; time is divided into discrete rounds, and combatants assault and react simultaneously. However, the number of actions a combatant may perform each round is limited. While each round'due south duration is a stock-still short interval of existent time, the player can configure the combat organisation to pause at specific events or at the end of each circular.

The alignment system tracks deportment and speech – from uncomplicated word choice to major plot decisions – to determine whether the player's grapheme aligns with the calorie-free or night side of the Forcefulness. In the offset game, the player's spoken language and actions accept no effect on their teammates. Notwithstanding, the player has influence over their companions in The Sith Lords, the actor'southward deportment determining not only what side the histrion is on, merely their teammates every bit well. The influence the player has on another character can be small-scale, from converting a grapheme from the dark side to the light, to something as major as teaching them the ways of the Jedi themselves. Influence can exist lost, withal, if the role player makes an activity inconsistent with past decisions, causing the player to pay very close attention before reacting in any style.
