To what though? Some people i talk to have thought using TK to stop/deflect a grenade would (or should) be based on the thrower's Grenade skill roll +5 or so for the 'size' and speed of the grenade, where as a bullet/missile/bolt would be +10 or more.

Baseing it on the skill of the oppnent isn't a real option when delaing with a Force power (Combat skills only determin the accuracy of the player/NPC.)
Basing it on size/weight/speed of the object, would be better option. So stopping a grenade or knife would have a low DC. Compared to something fast like a bullet (which is small as well as fast) Which would have a higher dc.

So it matters not how well someone shoots you like when using LSC to block, just the size of the item? Why would using TK as a reaction in that manner be easier than using your lightsaber skill+LS combat power?

No.... When using LSC you're using something to block or defelect what is fired at you yes .... But its a combo of physical skill and the Force. The aim of your opponent is to get under the defence put up.
The difference is the lack of a physical response. Remeber when you are dealing with Force Users, 'normal' can go out of the window.

True, normal does go out of the window. BUT normally you don't get to use TK or force push as a reaction skill anyway.. So we are already delving into off the wall/house rule territory.

In our campaigns, we've generally allowed Jedi to use LSC to cut the detonator out of a grenade.
With TK I think it is more of a time issue than anything else. The Jedi has only a short window of time where he can stop, divert, or contain the attack. A faster moving attack would usually give a shorter window. |

Do you allow that (or TK) as a reaction like say someone is shooting a missile at your group, can one of the PC's instead of dodging, use TK or force push, to knock it off course? |
I haven't allowed this, but if I did I think I'd view it as gavin has posted, trying to beat the speed of the bullets rather than the shooter.
My Jedi PC has used Force Shield (sort of a force field) for protection, instead.
