I've seen that sort of rule, used in home games before, for deflecting bolts from higher scales.. Compare their control (minus maps) to the scale bonus of the attack. If their control's higher, ...

Just another thought, but shields have a rating that get added to the soak of the target. So, what if lighsaber parry did something similar, either by adding the lightsaber's damage die to the Jedi's ...

That's more like it. So the chart would be
Moderate - one arc (in front)
Difficult - 2 arcs (front and one side)
Very Difficult - 3 arcs (front and both sides)
Heroic - All 4 arcs (front, sid ...

What I have planned is to allow characters to pick one "instinctive" power for every D of Force Attribute.

Do you mean that they can pick any power as an instinctive one, or that they ge ...

Unless you are one of those people who prefer first edition Star Wars.

Things like cost can play a factor , too. An A-Wing might be faster, more maneuverab ...

I did up something for my campaign a few years ago, based on the moment rules from Star Warriors, and the maneuver examples in the Sorucebooks, but simplified.

There were basic conversion guidelines give in the 1E D20 Star Wars, and I think they guys who did the combined books posted their guidelines too.

I could probably put some of the conversion into ...

I don't need to convince you.

Well, you sort of do need to convince somebody if you want to influence their decision as to which edition to play, and why. The same holds true for the rest of u ...

How do you figure?
For 1E I use the scaling rules in the Rules Companion. I liked them better than the Scaling Rules that came with one of the adventures (I think. Or it could be the other way a ...

But, as far as the quality of the First Edition rules, we'll just have to disagree, because I think that they are dynamite.

Say, how do you handle vehicles and starfighters using just 1E? Your Im ...
