Lightsaber combat problems.

[Lostboy]

This may have been addressed elsewhere but light saber combat is usually over to quickly, given the massive damage potential as well as the fact that the defense and strike levels are the same.

I have been thinking of a new method that can solve these problems as well as giving the battles a more cinematic feel but it is not quite there yet.

I would like to hear any opinions or comments that are relevant.

Bren's version incorporates the standard attack vs. parry rolls. I'm working on a similar version that is a mix of Bren's result chart and the Dueling Blades optional rules. I also have a working prototype of rules for the Seven Lightsaber Forms here:

What crmcneill said.

Also atgxtg is working on a his own variant, plus you may want to look at the original Dueling Blades by Peter Schweighofer: http://www.astro.uu.nl/~krijger/BI/FB/Blades.pdf
