[QUOTE="Patryn of Elvenshae, post: 5491993, member: 23094"] Man - you dodged some bullets. (Get it?) Basically, the way criticals work, and the way weapon damage rolls work, a large percentage of the party will die to one-shot critical hits before reaching 20th-level. (Obviously, about half as many will die before reaching 12th.) This does not include any deaths from running out of VP, spaceliner explosions, poor tactical planning, etc. - just the relatively unavoidable 1-shot-crit-to-WP deaths. Really? I always thought that Jedi essentially killing themselves to pull off somewhat minor tricks, and the tendency to pick one trick and do it repeatedly, failed to really capture the way the movies and the novels portrayed things. Making each individual power its own skill also made it difficult to be able to do things with the Force and mundanely, so you ended up with Jedi as idiot-savants, which failed the movie test for me, as well. I like Saga's Force Power suite much better for emulating movie, etc., fights. [/QUOTE]
