Obligation

[Dapper Dog]

Obligation

So this game will use the Obligation rules as listed in Edge of the Empire, with some minor tweaks. Each player will begin with 5 Obligation, new and reprised characters. From there players can increase their starting Obligation, new players can use the options in the book up to 20 Obligation.

At the start of each session, which last 3 game days, the GMs will roll for Obligation.

The GMs will break the Players into small four man lists and roll a percentile to see if an obligation has activated. If an Obligation is activated then players have 1 less strain for as long as the Obligation is in effect for the session. This will also generate an event for the player that had the Obligation activated.

It will be possible to reduce or even gain Obligation in play. Obligation is up to the player and it can be Duty to your faction if you want to keep it simple or maybe you want to add a new wrinkle to your character go for it.

Players will be able to reduce Obligation by expending credits, 1500 cr per 5 Obligation to a minimum of 5 Obligation. Players will also have event opportunities to reduce or even gain Obligation or through role play at the GM’s discretion.

After Session 1 during downtime they will be able to use Obligation to purchase a ship, gain 15 Obligation to get a fixer upper ship that is not quite space worthy or gain 30 Obligation for a full fledged ship in working condition; the latter can only be purchased by a group minimum of 3 players up to a maximum of 5 players who are assumed to be the crew.

Once per game during play a player can try and cut a deal with the Hutts to gain 2000 cr for 10 Obligation to the Hutts. The Hutts always get their due though.
