A Comment on a D6 Criticism that I have heard...

[Crell Damar]

no, because every 3 pluses you get, would go to the next die code... it doesn't matter what the situation is.

So I thought but so says the book. The book is the 2nd edition rulebook revised ans expanded. I can try to find a quote but that won't be very soon.

LoneStar (expanded)

Now on page 54, I gotta admit, this is interresting.

I really like the way they handle the force points for non force user. Its a little similar to D20, but way better as all points over the limit of 5 (same as D20) are converted to Character Points compared to lost in D20.

I also prefer the benifits, doubling your ability die code (instead of a few cheap extra dices on the next roll)

I'm really starting to get interrested. 8)

The force point has saved my characters, and those close to them numberous times... I could never cheap out on what a force point is by playing D20... The Force is supposed to do miraculous things, not just give a small bonus. A Force point in WEG Starwars can allow matrix dodging or allow you to lift a speeder which someone is trapped beneath, or make impossible maneuvers through unheard of terrain in your starship. It makes the impossible situation possible, but no less difficult.

It allows you to fly up a Ladder, thrusting your shoulder into the face of your commanding officer who was looking down the shaft wondering what was going on, throwing him across the Capital Ship Bridge, and dislocating his shoulder, breaking his nose, and giving him a severe concussion.

Now on page 60 (slow but steady)

Is it just me or is it really that easy to turn to the dark side. If a "low level" character with 2 dark sid point rolls a 1 on the 1D after recieving his second he's already turned to the dark side.

Isin't that a little fast? 8)

Call it bad luck

But yeah, it must be frustrating to lose a character after a 2nd point, but at least, you can't fall to the Dark Side by getting only 1 point. And since players usually are aware that they will get a DS pt before getting it, they take the risk willingly and should accept the consequences.

In terms of gameplay, I guess it means that the character was not strong willed enough and too eager to resist the temptations and fell quite quickly.
