I'm not sure I want any Force using in this game at all, beyond the PCs getting ambushed by Vader(errrr....). If we do have any players develop Force abilities, however, its just not something I want to plan on. It needs to be a natural progression type of thing, if at all.That is definitely a hell of a gun.While I prefer the two converted weapons that Shalimar posted, I'm willing to work with this one after toning it down a bit. Mainly since it IS priced pretty damn high to account for it being good.Still, here are my concerns with it at the moment. The damage feels too high. A rifle with serious range like that doing as much damage as a heavy blaster or a heavy repeating blaster just rubs me the wrong way. Dropping it to around 3d8(or maybe even 3d8+2 to give it an edge over a 'normal' rifle) might help that without making it weak. Of the modifications, I like the first two and thing they work, but the last one just seems like too much. The toning down of the damage offsets it a bit, but I'm still somewhat uncomfortable with that kind of power in a weapon with that kind of range. Obviously, that's the point, but I feel like the range coupled with its intended use(sniping from cover) provides a significant enough advantage to offset the need for high damage.</blockquote>
