How Notoriously Bad Shots Were Able to Hold an Empire:

Cover Fire
A character firing at a rate of 3 can provide cover fire, which provides 1/2 cover (+2D6 to hit) to self and allies, again ...

A limit makes sense to me, but only on advanced skills the character doesn't have (rather than all skills).

Something I've never stat'd out, but wanted to use at some point, is to include bays for droids that can crawl around on the hull of a ship, to perform minnor repairs, repell borders (and droid warhea ...

I'd say the scaling difficulty and time requirement seem like a good idea. The willpower check as well. That said, any rule can be abused.

My canned response to flagrant abuse of any rule is dock ...

Hey, I never said I thought the WEG rule set was bad...

I just like mine better. Very Happy

Well, lets face it, the fact that it looks cool on screen is the reason for every special effect. Razz

I'm glad you liked it Mogul76. Thanks for pointing out the link was gone.

I’ve never been sure what to make o ...

As t ...

From what I understand from the WEG they are just trying to level the damage scale out. A sword (slab o’metal not lightsaber) shouldn’t do as much damage as a blaster, or even a pistol. But you can ...

Yeah, the channeling of too much dark energy causing the corruption is what I was going for. I’m not aware, does anything in WEG lit stat out the progression of disfigurement?

Something aside, I m ...

Thank you Pel. So often we see the Sith disfigured, I thought there should be a mechanic for it. It turned out to be a good way from keeping the Dark Side from getting obscenely powerful. Ep III wa ...

I was hoping to solicit more feedback on my system. Playing with Force mechanics seems to be popular, so I’m thinking there have got to be more opinions out there. Wink
