Challenge Levels for Starships
A rough math.
By RavenFury
Ok tried some math. Tried to keep it simple. I'm hampered by the fact that my buddy has my copy of SWSE, but a few of you helped out and either PMed or Posted the CLs from the book....
| CL | Example Ships |
| 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 16 20 |
YT-1300 Transport TIE Fighter, Vulture Droid TIE Interceptor Droid Tri-Fighter X-Wing, Y-Wing Eta-2 Actis ARC-170 Corellian Corvette Imperial Star Destroyer |
And CL is obviously a measure of how much pain is due / what level you should be before taking one on, in a round about sort of way. So I'm going with these factors, most are simple measurements....Just
add what you're told as you go through each section.
Crew Quality
An Ace in a z-95 is going to give you more trouble than an idiot in a TIE
Defender.
| Skill
Level Untrained Normal Skilled Expert Ace |
Add -1 +0 +1 +3 +5 |
HP
The longer it can last, the more trouble it can cause
| Hit Points 0-40 41-59 60-100 101-200 201-400 401-700 701-1000 1001-1500 1501-2200 2201-4000 4001-7000 7001- up |
Add +0 +1 +2 +3 +4 +5 +6 +7 +8 +9 +10 +11 |
DR
The more damage it can soak up....see HP
| Dmg Red 0-9 10-14 15-20 21-40 40-80 |
Add +0 +1 +2 +3 +4 |
SR
Just another factor of survivability
| Shield 0-14 15-25 26-50 51-100 101-150 151-300 |
Add +0 +1 +2 +3 +4 +5 |
DEX
If you can't hit it, the fight will last a lot longer
| DEX 10-14 15-18 19-22 23-26 27-32 32 – up |
Add +0 +1 +2 +3 +4 +5 |
Weapons
de hurtin continue... this is a rough and hard to judge category...
| Weapons Lvl None Lightly Armed Transport Med (Heavy Fighter) Med (Cruiser) Heavy (Dreadnaught) Beefy (Destroyer) Crazy (Eclipse) Super Nuts (Death Star) |
Add +0 +1 +2 +3 +4 +5 +6 +7 |
Ok and thats it. Just add the number to the right down the board and you should have a *rough* CL
I know it works for the X-Wing and the ISD-I
X-Wing
Crew (skilled)1
HP (120)3
SR (15)1
wep 2
DR (10)1
Dex (22) 2
CL 10
ISD-i
Crew (skilled) 1
HP (2100) 8
SR (150) 4
Wep (Beefy) 5
DR (20) 2
DEX (14) 0
CL 20
other than that I don't have any of the book sources to go off. SUGESTIONS ARE WELCOME. Like I said it's just rough math. It'll get you in the ballpark of your pain meter.
