Advanced Lightsaber Combat?

[CRMcNeill]

When taken as a whole, there’s a lot of conflicting information as to exactly how lightsaber combat (and force assisted combat in general) actually works. Some accounts suggest that it increases your strength and speed, as well as boosting your reflexes. The films and live action tv don’t really support that, though; it mostly just looks like really skilled swordsmanship and martial arts (albeit augmented by precognition through the Force).

My current theory involves getting rid of Lightsaber Combat as a distinct power and folding the pertinent abilities into an expanded version of Combat Sense. However, I prefer not to throw out aspects of the RAW and lore if I can at all help it, so I’ve been considering an advanced combat power - tentatively called Empowered Combat or Enhanced Combat - that adds the physical boosting of Strength and Dexterity to the precognitive enhancement of Combat Sense for a limited time (I’m thinking of including the # of rounds limitation from Combat Sense to keep it somewhat limited). Prerequisite would include my rewritten Combat Sense, Enhance Attribute and Concentration.

Not much beyond that at the moment, but I wanted to at least get the concept in writing.
