Destiny
Destiny plays a large role in the Star Wars universe. As a young boy, Anakin Skywalker is told that his destiny is to bring balance to the Force. Padme's destiny is to give birth to the twins, Luke and Leia, so that they can fulfill their own destinies. Luke Skywalker learns that his destiny is to redeem his father, Darth Vader, so that balance to the Force is restored. Leia's destiny is to save the Rebellion from annihilation at the hands of the Empire and help forge the New Republic. The destiny mechanic helps players and Gamemasters recognize that all heroes-and even major villains-have significant roles to play in the fate of the galaxy.
Destiny Strength
The strength of a character's destiny can be guided and shaped in many ways. Though the circumstances of their birth may have something to do with it, it is far more important how they pursue the path to their own legacy. A character may strengthen and shape their destiny by the wise rule as a regent, or by confronting the epic foes who are pursuing their own destiny's.
A destined character who is defeated by another may lose some of his destiny, a setback on his heroic (or villainous) path. The greatest of these fated heroes and villains may begin to develop a sense of the path the Force has chosen for them, and can perceive it's power and influence in others. For some, this can make them cautious of possible encounters with others of the Fated, for the hand of destiny can be cruel.
