PCs still get shields, but they only recharge when you're not hit, so staying in cover is essential.

Reloading should now become more important in prolonged firefights, but they should last a shorter while due to higher damage of weapons. Shields and recharge mechanics are the most changed concepts.ДЄnother thing that differs from Star Wars Saga Edition is the relatively low magazine count for weapons. Most of the core mechanics have been kept intact, and those which have been changed have been fit for a better Mass Effect feel. The concept was to create a backwards compatible system that remains loyal to the game's concepts, and the possibility to create a character who plays like one from the game (A Novanguard, for instance, has been something I really wanted to include). Just need to convert the Force powers and that's it. Thus, I decided one day to start working on converting the system. Hello, and welcome to my Mass Effect conversion to the Star Wars Saga Edition system! Saga has always been my favorite iteration of the d20 system, and the Mass Effect universe desperately needs a system for itself.
