Hello again, sorry to interupt so soon, but I realized more questions and
ideas that I have proposed and my Star Wars GM is trying out. I wondered
how those of you out there would feel about them. Please keep "Flames"
down, I am just suggesting stuff, not writing out Cannonized Rules...
Lightsabre's-
Wouldn't it be nice to have a "Stun" setting? It is something that I
am getting the privilage (spelling?) to try out. My GM has allowed me
to work together with the party's "droid" (OK, so its really a Columi
hiding out in an Explorer Droid's shell, a midget Columi at that). We
have started comparing the focus settings on Blaster Rifles and Pistols
for "inspiration." We are going to give it a try under the same pretense
that the "stun" setting will have a distinct "hum" and do -1D "damage."
Enhanced Attributes-
Since you can use the Control Force skill to "resist fatigue" and
"enhance recuperative" powers, what about enhancing strength and/or
dexterity. The test that my GM is allowing (for now) is for me to add
my Alter Skill of 3D+1 to my Strength when Lifting/Throwing*/Jumping.
No, I am not going around using the Alter skill to lift "potential tons"
of stuff. We are simply adding the total number of dice in the attribute
and the skill for success tests. In all cases, I have to have an action
to "ready" myself. We are also "playing" with the idea of using the Control
skill to "generate" energy types, in this case lower amounts of external
Body Heat (to help warm another player character or myself) or maybe even
forms of Bio-Luminescence. These ideas haven't been tried yet, as it was
agreed that I would need to "spend" skill points from games to develop
these new "tricks" as well.
* By throwing, I mean the distance at first. I am still working on the
accuracy trick...
That is all that I can think of for now. I would really like to hear how
other players/GMs have come up with potential new stuff. Thanks a bunch...
