Why can't I set species, specialization, or career?

These are drag-and drop fields - you don't type anything. Instead, you must drag e.g. a species which has already been created onto the character sheet.

How do I use the latest build?

WARNING!! This Foundry release is/can be unstable, most if not all modules may not be supported, you're on your own essentially. You use it at your own risk!

1. BACKUP any worlds you want to be able to still use on the stable version of Foundry
2. Go to the git hub page and click the green Code button and select Download zip
3. Unzip the zip file and copy the contents from the StarWarsFFG into the Foundry user data folder /Data/systems/starwarsffg

You are now ready to embark on the dangerous journey of living on the edge with the latest development code.

NOTE! This WILL break, it is NOT recommended to use this version in your regular gaming sessions.

(Likely outdated, but might be helpful: If you need additional help install the dev branch, see this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zVldcdQAF4 or ask in the Foundry Discord, starwars-ffg channel.)

How do I manually roll dice?

To roll Narrative Dice use the command:

/roll #d<narrative die type>

Narrative Die Types

Type	Die Color	Code
Ability	green	da
Boost	blue	db
Challenge	red	dc
Difficulty	purple	di
Force	white	df
Proficiency	yellow	dp
Setback	black	ds

These can be strung together to create complex dice pools.

/roll 1da + 1dp + 3di

Rolls 1 Ability 1 Proficiency and 3 difficult dice.

How do I include dice symbols in journals?

To add the dice and symbols to text within the system, we use the same codes and OggDude's character generator. They are:

Description	Code
Ability Die	[ABILITY] or [AB]
Advantage Symbol	[ADVANTAGE] or [AD]
Boost Die	[BOOST] or [BO]
Challenge Die	[CHALLENGE] or [CH]
Dark Side Pip Symbol	[DARK] or [DA]
Despair Symbol	[DESPAIR] or [DE]
Difficulty Die	[DIFFICULTY] or [DI]
Force Point Symbol	[FORCEPOINT] or [FP]
Failure Symbol	[FAILURE] or [FA]
Force Die	[FORCE] or [FO]
Light Side Pip Symbol	[LIGHT] or [LI]
Proficiency Die	[PROFICIENCY] or [PR]
Remove Setback Die Symbol	[REMSETBACK] or [RS]
Restricted Symbol	[RESTRICTED] or [RE]
Setback Die	[SETBACK] or [SE]
Success Symbol	[SUCCESS] or [SU]
Threat Symbol	[THREAT] or [TH]
Triumph Symbol	[TRIUMPH] or [TR]
Add Difficulty Symbol	[ADDDIFFICULTY] or [DD]
Upgrade Difficulty Symbol	[UPDIFFICULTY] or [UD]
Cancel Threat Symbol	[CANTHREAT] or [CT]

How does Initiative work?

It works as the system describes :) Note that you can revert to named slots (which is not RaW) by disabling the custom combat tracker in the system settings.

How do I import a new skill?

1. Open the configuration settings window.
2. Select System Settings
3. Locate the Skill List Importer and click the button.
4. You will be prompted to select a *.json file for upload.
5. See this page for file schema
6. Click Start Import
7. The file will upload and the page will refresh to load the new skill set, it is not selected by default so please follow the directions above to select the new skill set.

How do I change the default skill list?

1. Open the configuration settings window.
2. Select System Settings
3. Locate the Change Skill Theme option drop down.
4. Select a new Skill Set theme and then click save. (There are two default ones starwars and genesys)
5. Creating a new character should now display the new skills set.

How do I manage minion groups as vehicles, e.g. a group of TIE fighters?

General consensus is currently to use a TIE token per fighter in the minion group and then have a minion group of pilots defined in Foundry for actually rolling. If one of the TIEs is destroyed, you update the pilot group to reflect 1 fewer pilots being alive.

Help! Items don't have special qualities linked anymore

You need to import item qualities at the same time as weapons, gear, and armor (even if you already have item qualities imported).

Is there an Oggdude Dataset with all the information filled in that I can import?

Detailed information about Items, Careers, Species, etc. is the IP of Asmodee (parent company of Fantasy Flight Games and Edge Studios), and there exist no license or permission to distribute this content. As such, distribution of any full dataset such as that would be illegal and against the Foundry TOS. Please do not ask for, provide, or discuss such information on the Foundry discord or on this Github.

Can I add more crew roles for vehicles?

In the settings, under the Star Wars FFG section, there is a 'Configure Crew Roles' button that allows adding and managing the crew roles.

How do I edit the XP log?

Note: The XP log is not intended to be edited.

The XP log is currently stored via flag data on actors. To edit it, you must grab the current log entries and update the flag to not include the entry you want removed. Below is a macro which demonstrates retrieving, logging, and setting the xpLog.

const actorName = "test";
const actor = game.actors.find(i => i.name === actorName)
if (!actor) {
  ui.notifications.warn("Unable to locate actor");
  return;
}
const existingFlagData = actor.getFlag("starwarsffg", "xpLog");
console.log(existingFlagData);
const newFlagData = existingFlagData; // specify content you want to keep in this line
await actor.setFlag("starwarsffg", "xpLog", newFlagData);
