[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 4521813, member: 54629"] Sorry if I'm bombarding you with stuff, but I'm new at the whole "game design" thing, so I need all the help I can get! Anyway, I was wondering if you'd be willing to have a look at this [url="http://forums.gleemax.com/showpost.php?p=17119118&postcount=14"]post[/url] and let me know how you would respond to some of the points raised - specifically the issue of converting a system that's heavily oriented towards ranged combat into one that's more about melee combat. I will admit that I still like 4e's forced movement mechanics (pushing, pulling and sliding, as well as all the minor teleports), but I don't know how one would emulate them with Saga. For instance, 4e's eladrin have a racial ability that lets them make a short range teleport (6 squares, I think) once per encounter. How would you translate something like that into Saga? Would it be too powerful for a talent? Too powerful for a racial ability? The Force doesn't allow people to teleport so there's no real precedent. The Force doesn't really let people turn invisible either (another D&D staple), does it? [/QUOTE]
