This is a very real concern, however I do penalize untrained characters by giving them a situational -5 or sometimes -10 to many untrained skill checks. This is to try and mitigate players who to abu ...

Some powers should just stay dark.Agreed.

Are we talking about the force or foce philosopies?I'm talking about the Force. When I run Star Wars I adhere pretty closely to WEG's point of view. In that view, the Force has an absolute system of m ...
