Customize Your Character

LOTJ features an expansive character creation system. The levels and skills available to your character will depend on both the class and species. You will not be restricted to skills in your main class: different race/class combinations will yield different max level spreads. With dozens of iconic Star Wars species and 10 unique classes with hundreds of unique skills, there are countless combinations available to craft a character that is truly your own.

10 Unique Classes

• Combat: Professional soldiers and mercenaries who specialize in frontline warfare and heavy combat tactics. They rely on discipline and raw power to survive the galaxy's most brutal warzones.
• Piloting: Masters of even the most distant stars and hyperspace navigation. They know how to squeeze every ounce of performance out of a hull to outmaneuver rivals in deep space.
• Engineering: Fabricators of guns, armor, and custom starship components. They keep the galactic economy moving by turning raw materials into cutting-edge survival gear.
• Bounty Hunting: Elite trackers capable of locating anybody across the systems. They use specialized gear, patience, and lethal precision to hunt down high-value targets. THIS CLASS IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW PLAYERS
• Smuggling: Thieves, pickpockets, and swindlers operating in the shadows of planetary law. They make a living outsmarting customs agents and slipping contraband past galactic blockades.
• Leadership: Natural commanders and leaders who guide clans through political and military friction. They excel at organizing group efforts and shaping the broader fate of the era.
• Espionage: Intelligence and special ops agents trained in covert operations and infiltration. They operate unseen, gathering crucial secrets and manipulating events from behind the scenes.
• Slicer: No document or security terminal is safe from a skilled slicer. They bypass digital locks, manipulate data grids, and extract information that can change the balance of power.
• Medical: Skilled surgeons and physicians able to heal anyone from the brink of death. They provide critical triage on the battlefield and keep groups alive under harsh conditions. THIS CLASS IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW PLAYERS
• Science: Philosophers and great scholars dedicated to understanding the deeper mechanics of the universe. They push the boundaries of knowledge, research, and technical innovation. THIS CLASS IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW PLAYERS

Designing your character

We know there is a lot to consider when it comes to planning your character, and we are here to help you understand the process.

Your maximum level in any given class will be determined by your character's chosen race and main class, up to 150 levels. This website tool is available to explore LOTJ's many species opportunities and see the different class bonuses they receive. You can find a more detailed readout on the mud using the showrace command. Let's look at Jawas as an example:

Racial class tables lay out a grid of each class with a point value assigned to show how good they will be able to perform as a main in a certain class. Point values denote a range of levels attainable as that class main. A Jawa engineering main can expect 150 levels of engineering and science, around 100 levels of smuggling and slicing, but only 1 level of combat. A Jawa espionage main will only have around 115 levels in espionage, but nearly 150 levels in smuggling and slicer - a major bonus.

There are countless combinations to explore and find the right balance of roleplay and skills. WALLDO NOTE TO SELF: EXPAND THIS TEXT OR LINK TO DEDICATED GUIDE.
