[QUOTE="AmorphousBlob, post: 2340754, member: 30548"] I apologize if my response seemed rude to you. I didn't mean it that way, necessarily. It's just that I'm getting fed up with hearing so many people with a lack of imagination. It doesn't take that much work to come up with ways of using the rules for dramatic effect. If you're a player in a campaign that doesn't allow you to have the action of the movies, then your GM isn't using all they're capable of. If you're a GM in the same sort of campaign, just use your imagination! First off, just because something isn't explicitly described in an action doesn't mean it happened in the typical manner. I roll a jump check and make a jump across a 2 meter gap. I don't have to describe it that way, though. "I run at the gap, jump, flip, draw my lightsaber and swing it at the battle droid!" Now that's interesting! And it's all stuff you can do in a single round, given that you have the Quick Draw feat. A little preparation negates the nead for that feat at all! Furthermore, if you need something to simulate something from the movies, make up your own rules. I don't have to get licensing from Lucasfilm to make up my own, unpublished rules. In conclusion, a lack of creativity on your part does not mean a lack of action on my part. [/QUOTE]
