Howdy guys! My friends and I are returning to WEG Star Wars for our next game, and the players are going to go Jedi. However, I've heard a lot about the clunkiness of the d6 Force system, as well as its balance problems. My players like streamlined and simpler games, and I've already houseruled the skills to accommodate that. I was just wondering if anyone has any homebrew streamlined rules for Force powers that they really like and/or might recommend. We've really loved this system, but I am a tinkerer, and I'm always looking for ways to improve things for my group. Any advice or guidance would be very welcome. Thanks!

Well glad your returning to the system. As for your players, I would suggest the template I am posting below. Its like a standard template, spend 7D on skills and its done. You as the GM can tweak things as you like. If there are non-Jedi in your group I would suggest they make their characters with 21D instead of 7D to make them at least on par with the Jedi ones.
