Talk:Star Wars: Revised System
Dan's feat notes:
- Could the 'force resistance' feat be replicated with an Integrity specialty? Though it often requires the usage of supernatural aid, Integrity usually governs resistance to natural and supernatural mental influence - could resistance to the mind tricks of the Jedi perhaps be an Integrity specialty, rather than a feat? I started making my own list of feats I thought we should convert, and it, to the feat, resembles yours almost exactly, with the exception of force resistancen and lucky (which I love, I just forgot). I'm trying to avoid anything I can imagine simulating with abilities (Gearhead is just a Repair specialty, etc.).
- If force resistance is only a way to resisit the telepathic tricks of a jedi then it could perhaps be converted, though there are alien species who recieve a benfit beyond what a specialty provides. Such a thing could be covered instead in a species bonus of sorts, though we've discussed not giving aliens ability bonuses. Without looking at my wording I would have intended this feat to apply to more than just the jedi mind tricks, and therefore above and beyond the scope of an integrity specialty. If others prefer just a specility its fine by me. (Tony)
- Should Integrity be a mental ability? If you've already considered this and decided that it shouldn't, then don't worry about it. I think it should stay social, as it really represents a "strength of character" - strength of mind is willpower. That said, I just wanted to make sure the opinions of others jibed with my own on the matter.
- I like Integrity where it is, but I'm not overly opposed to a change if people want. (Tony)
- Should the lightsaber forms be treated like martial arts styles? i.e. Each lightsaber has a set of feats associated with it, just as each martial arts style has a set of charms associated with it?
- That is how I intended it, and the way I started to format the lightsaber feat section. (With each style having its own short 'tree' of feats, check out new WOD martial arts for what I was thinking) I also thought there would be some force/lightsaber feats that are not style specific. Examples would be lightsaber deflection, and an advanced version of the same feat allowing a counter attack with the deflected bolt. (Tony)
