Star Wars Saga/D&D 5th Hybrid [OOC/Rolls]

Reks is definitely going first. You can post your action as you will.

NOTE one thing I want to address - while in 5th ed. you can choice to not kill someone when dealing damage I am not sure I am very comfortable with that when using Lightsabers or Blasters (not set on stun). An axe you could use the flat of the blade but you can't really do that with a lightsaber. I might say you could strike a limb and not kill them etc. or you attack their weapon (at maybe -2 to -4 to your attack roll). Thoughts??

In 5E, you can only do it with a melee weapon, so blasters are pretty much right out without a Stun setting in any event. I would say that lightsabers are also incapable of stunning, given their nature. A lot of the distinction is that you have stun working in a different way from 5E. I'm okay with stunning only being allowed with certain weapons, including fists, which everyone has available to them. I think most of us are carrying some kind of blaster with a stun setting on top of that, right?
 




Kacela's Init: [roll0]

She'll ignite her lightsaber, but not use its business end to attack anyone unless in dire straits.

Can Force damage from Slam or Move Object be nonlethal?

Alternatively, can Move Object be used to trip people, grapple them, or other combat maneuvers more complicated than 'hit stuff with other stuff?' :)
 



Damn, I had honestly planned that as a sweet in-character pun after I did the arm slicing. Well you know what they say about great minds thinking alike and whatnot.

Yes Force Slam and Move Object both can be used to do nonlethal (unless you push someone off a cliff etc.) If you don't do damage with Move Object you can maintain it round to round...
