Sometimes, Gamemasters may feel that rules are not adequately balanced, or wish to make a change to promote a different feeling or playstyle. Changes should not be made haphazardly, but only after careful consideration and experience with the normal rules of Star Wars Saga Edition.
Presented here are a collection of different house rules which can be applied to any campaign. House rules should not include campaign-specific rules such as higher starting levels, requiring Force Sensitivity, or using a certain point buy.
