Lightsaber Edge in Star Wars Saga

[Nifft]

House Rule time: if you are Forse Sensitive and wielding a lightsaber, and deal enough damage to an armed opponent to kill him, you can spend a Force point to destroy his weapon instead. The enemy is unharmed by the attack.

Kinda like that Jedi Knight talent, but without harming the opponent (I actually think that option should be open to all characters, to spend a Force point to avoid killing someone... it's got a cost already).

I like this.

I'd even allow a feat (rather than a talent) to eliminate the Force Point cost.

comparing the hard numbers (damage only, not likely amount of skill or finesse, not to mention force-sensitivity) between saber and blaster is like comparing the hard numbers between weed and booze. It doesn't work, quit trying.

Is this something you generally do, going from thread to thread telling people the futility of quantifying things and illustrating your point with off-the-wall similes about weed and beer?

It is actually very quantifiable, and indeed the quantifying has already been done.

Do lightsabers ignore the DR of a character who gets DR from the class Elite Trooper?
While it would be logical RAW, but I think game-wise its silly.

If it bypasses DR, it bypasses DR.

Yes. Also, the DR provided by the DR 10 Force talent.
