You're welcome. Smile

Glad you liked them.

I am curious what people think of this guy's alternate version of Lightsaber Combat. I think I'm going to try using it in the campaign I'm starting up t ...

One of the more perplexing things I saw in the prequels is the "reflect Force Lightning with a lightsaber". I figure a little Absorb/Dissipate, couple with an I-don't-know-what. Confused

I still think, however, that any parry bonuses/attack bonuses should only be conferred by a force power.

But then how would you handle two blasters, which ought to really use the same system? ...

The main problem with making them specializations, that we realized after discussing it some, is that specializations cost half as much to improve as normal skills. So basically, as long as someone a ...

After reading this thread and then discussing it with some of the players in my upcoming game, I think here's what we've decided to do.

Make them separate skills, under Dexterity:

Two Lightsaber ...

Hmm, I suppose that makes some sense, sadly. It just annoys me that you would base it off a person's physical strength when the way this power works is irrelevant to someone's strength and directly p ...

I just recently got to read the entry for this Force Power and I was surprised that it actually used the Force User's physical Strength stat for hurling someone back or stunning them or whatnot. I ca ...
