WEG Starwars is ..an interesting system.  It's fairly harsh on low level
skill points spread everywhere types of characters. If you're playing the
wild die rules ( a d6 is a wild.  Roll a 6.  Roll again.  Roll a 1, and you
loose the highest die) makes the game random to the extremes.  Roll low on
the dice and you don't do that well. ( One game a PC rolled 7 dice for his
dodge and came up 13.  Im not kidding). Roll high and the results are kinda
cool.

The Multi Action penalty is an interesting one.  As a low level character
it really tells.  As a higher level character, it wouldn't be that
noticeable IMO.

WEG Starwars is one of those systems where the dice rule everything.  Roll
high and you own the game.  Roll low and the game owns you.
