But it is oh so easy to assume that your anyone who doesn't buy into your theory didn't understand you rather than analyze their post to see if they had a point.Questionable. What is "worth it?" Your feats are more useful, no doubt about that. But they also cost you feats. 4 of them if you take the whole chain. Is deflecting blasters what being a jedi is all about? So sure, the jedi's ability is costing you a move action, but yours is costing me a feat.Second, once you get the deflect attack ability at third level, it doesn't cost you anything extra to deflect and redirect. Further, it doesn't cost you anything extra to deflect while doing a total defense. So it is, on the average, not as costly as a MEA when you are using it like it was used in the movies.Finally, what your feats really do is up the odds that the jedi gets missed. Which is exactly what the jedi class skills does. The major difference is that I am not engaging in the same sort of tedious roll-offs that some games engender. If you really feel it is that important to have a roll against any incoming attack to satisfy your visceral need, have a blast. I personally find excess rolling with a similar effect unwarranted and would rather avoid it.Once again: so? You can do this AND use deflect.</blockquote>
