Notice how your party members are also evil-looking ...

Great music too!

The HELL it is. SW d20 has a lightsaber base damage as 2d8 (with a bonus dice added depending on the level of your Jedi/Sith character), while the base damage of a blaster pistol is 3d6. HEAVY blasters and rifles do a base damage of 3d8. In KOTOR these numbers were drastically reduced EXCEPT for lightsabers, which stayed the same IIRC.Pcm979 wrote:IIRC it's part of the RPG rules they used.
As Archaic said, the rules were modified to make the game somewhat more playable. In the SWd20 rules blasters do an impressive amount of damage; also, damage reduction rules don't apply to lightsabers as well, and they can therefore literally cut through virtually everything (vibroblades being no exception).Pcm979 wrote:Okay, I'm wrong. I just thought I read it somewhere.
You can actually lose it? I didn't think it was losable... o_O1123581321 wrote:This is a little off topic: but what happens if you lose that battle? I tried once, but it took so long, I decided to just win it. I imagine you just get the game over screen.
Pshaw...you just need more grenades and stuff thenZac Naloen wrote:Play the game on hard
They're so down with the whole Jedi ethos that they just won't use a weapon that'll allow them to reach out and touch someone. They'd also need to change their entire lightsabre techniques and design for the purpose- since lightsabres are two-handed weapons and trying to deflect bolts with just one hand consistently wouldn't work.SPOOFE wrote:EDIT: Yeah, why can't Jedi use their force powers to improve blaster accuracy? Use an affect mind to muddle their Jedi opponent's ability to predict where the blaster bolt is going... BANG! Instant dead Jedi. Don't the novels say that most of the effort a Jedi puts into a battle is unseen, anyway?
I seem to recall reading some illustrated book, years ago, that had Kyle Katarn mowing through a base-ful of Stormies by using single-shots from a blaster and aiming with the Force. I think he there to retrieve the original Death Star plans thatn Princess Leia received, but I'm not entirely sure...SPOOFE wrote: EDIT: Yeah, why can't Jedi use their force powers to improve blaster accuracy?

Question: Not counting wierd ethical issues, How hard would it be for a mediocre Jedi, say at the Knight level, to use either his saber or his blaster with telekinesis only (probably he should hold his defensive saber, for that's more critical, and use his blaster for attack), so he can use both hands on another weapon?Vympel wrote:They're so down with the whole Jedi ethos that they just won't use a weapon that'll allow them to reach out and touch someone.

I think that takes so much concentration and control that sabre'n would be so difficult and dangerous. Would need Anakin and Yoda level TK and then some most likely.Kazuaki Shimazaki wrote:Question: Not counting wierd ethical issues, How hard would it be for a mediocre Jedi, say at the Knight level, to use either his saber or his blaster with telekinesis only (probably he should hold his defensive saber, for that's more critical, and use his blaster for attack), so he can use both hands on another weapon?
