[QUOTE="damiller, post: 2268765, member: 10995"] Here is my simple system (want to work out the kinks first, then move on to more substance) I've tried to make it as simple as possible, and yet convey some of the excitement and drama of lightsaber battles (which I can't seem to do otherwise). [b]Lightsaber Dueling Techniques[/b] Summary of Dueling Rules *Roll Initiative *Every round each combatant chooses a technique that they attempt to perform that round *Each combatant rolls a d20, adds the appropriate skill to the roll, and compares the total to the Lightsaber Technique DC. *Melee combat proceeds according to initiative with appropriate bonuses or penalties from techniques performed being figured into dice rolling as necessary [b]Lightsaber Technique DC Result[/b] Rapid Strike 20 oppenents defense reduced by 2 Strong Strike 15 +1d8 damage* Block 10 +6 defense, no attacks Critical Strike 20 Automatic Double Damage* Severing Slash 30 Limb of Choice severed* * These results apply ONLY if attack roll exceeds defense. If the attacker’s roll would not hit the defender, then the results of the technique DO NOT apply. [b]Skill used on Roll:[/b] Melee Attack Bonus, Knowledge (Lightsaber Techniques), or Sleight of Hand Successful Lightsaber Technique Roll Apply Result as appropriate, see Lightsaber Technique Table Failed LIghtsaber Technique Roll Attacker incures a -4 penalty to either the Attack Roll OR defense.
