Lightsabre Throw

[garhkal]

I'd actually say it adds damage to the LS via your Alter/TK roll, than LS combat.

Say
Roll beats diff by
0-6 = no additional damage
7-12 = +2 additional damage
13-18 = +1d additional damage
19-24 = +1d+1 additional damage
and so on..

Was thumbing around in the Tales of the Jedi book... and read up on Telekinesis today. It actually has something in there referencing throwing a lightsaber.

In this case, you would use Telekinesis to control the lightsaber once thrown. Difficulty would be 5 (for it's weight), +11 - 25 for controlling it, +5 for every range increment beyond 10 meters (first 10 no mod, 11 - 20 meters +5, 21 - 30 meters +10, etc). Make sure to keep in mind the return from the throw, so a 15 meter throw would cover a 30 meter range penalty (15 there and back).

For the actual damage, (since I see that discussion going on as well - lol) if LS Combat is up, use that additve for damage, otherwise it'd be base damage imho (esp if you are using the MAP for having LS Combat up in the first place).

But then you would also have to consider the TK rule about getting a DSP if you use a TK'd object to attack someone...

Unless you're using Lightsaber Combat- then it's okay!

Ultimately, whether it's a Dark Side Point garnering thing or not is always up to the Gamemaster. I would say though, use Telekinesis, and hope the GM likes you....

[jmanski]

It just seems silly to me:

Use Lightsaber Combat to lop someone's head off: no problem

Use TK to hit someone with a rock: DSP

Yes, the age-old paradox. Force users can use The Force, but they cannot resort to using force.

I think it has something to do with While using LS combat, you have control over the blade and can actually choose to do less damage. Where as with Tk, wha you push into the weapon you 'toss' at someone, is what is pushed into it. No call backs.

Still, it seems awfully ridiculous that one may use a lightsaber to slice off an opponent's arm, and can even use TK to do so, but one may not use TK to pick up a rock and bean one's opponent in the head with it.

Opponent Badly Wounded and Permanently Maimed = Good Jedi, have a cookie.

Opponent Knocked Unconscious With No Permanent Damage = Bad Jedi! Bad! Go sit in the Dark Side corner and think about what you did!

Just throw the lightsaber at the chain holding the several metric ton cargo over the enemies head. Squished enemy, thrown lightsaber, no dsp.

Personally i think any use of the force to directly injure should warrant at least a Dark side point. Perhaps, stunning should be ok, wounding or worse gets you the point.
