I got an odd question...
I hit 4th level last night.
I am a jedi and currently have an intelligence of 15 and a wisdom of 15 and is already taken some force powers.
I put my two stat increases in both Int and Wis making them 16.
BAM! STAT INCREASE! YEA!
NOW... If I get that stat increase, do I ret-con my character to get another skill (from one of my classes) and an other force power?
Just wondering.
Thanks.
*beer*

Yes on both counts.
Saga Edition is very retro-active friendly. So increased Intelligence modifier means an extra trained skill, increased Wisdom modifier means more Force powers, and an increased Constitution means more hit points.

AWESOME! I was hoping this was the case. Where does the SWSE say?

Page 19, under Changing Ability Scores has the bare bones of it. Otherwise, check the last section under the Force Training feat.

IMO, SWSE is so pro-retroactive, that you can assume you get ____________ retroactively, unless a rule explicitly says you don't.
This should be sufficient unless you're dealing with a rabid rules lawyer.

This is the core of one of the biggest "tricks" for multiclassing characters. If you want a skill that you don't have on your starting class list (for example, you want acrobatics but you're starting as a soldier), you start with an odd score in Int. Int 13 is a common choice. Then sometime before or at 4th level, you multiclass into a class that has the skill you want (Scoundrel or Jedi, in this case). At 4th, you put a point into Int, which goes up to an even number and therefore grants you a new trained skill, which you can pick from any skill available to you -- which now includes the second class's list as well. So you pick up Acrobatics and go happily along your way without having to burn a feat on Skill Training.
