See also: Nonheroic Units
Nonheroic characters include everything from professional workers to petty criminals, police officers to common thugs. They lack the inclination or training to be heroes. but they are capable in their own fields. Skilled engineers, educated professors, and master architects are all Nonheroic characters, as is the local governor, the self-serving spice merchant, and the baseline Imperial Stormtrooper.
Nonheroic characters do not gain Talents, do not add their Nonheroic Class Level to their Defense Scores, and do not gain Force Points or Destiny Points. In addition, they only get to increase one Ability Score by one point every fourth level (instead of increasing two scores by one point each). However, they gain Feats normally as they advance in level.
