Star Wars - Dissapate Energy

[Shard O'Glase]

I agree that shooting yourself to use Dissipate energy would get you a Darkside Point. That is clearly using the Force for your own personal gain. Not to mention it is so not cool.

Oh and using heal self isn't.

As for those who would make it a coup de gras oh yeah the PCs foot is a vital spot to aim for when helpless.

Yes it seems cheezy, but sometimes you got to accept cheezy.

Interesting point though I think there is a difference. The risks involved with shooting yourself and relying on the force to save you and make you more powerful is different.

I agree that the coup de grace rules aren't an adequate answer. However I have found that the only people who use this DE technique are people trying to milk the rules. So a rules answer always helps

BTW blowing you foot off can hurt a lot and even kill you. There are always risks when you shoot a blaster are designed to kill not graze.

it goes beyond "not cool" to me. if i ever had a player who would do that, he would be a jedi no more at my table. not only does it go against the grain of the feel of star wars, it's just very twinkish.
