Dueling Variant (Jedi or otherwise)

[Law]

Hey guys, this is my first post. I have been searching through your boards here for a while and pulling ideas for my campaigns. My group is just starting back to our d6 Star Wars game so I was on here seeing what was new when Bren's Yet Another Lightsaber Variant caught my eye. I considered posting this in his thread but didn't want to go off topic on what he was trying to do there.

I took the stuff that I like and copied it over to a word doc and when I went to put it in my Character Sheets and House Rules folder I found I had some dueling rules I made up a while ago and had forgotten about . I figured I would put them on here to share and see if anyone could put them to use. I made them up a while ago and, shortly after, our game went on hiatus. I haven't playtested them yet, but I hope to now that we are back on. They are a bit more in depth than the stuff Bren put down based on the dueling blades, and I may actually use his stuff because it seems pretty quick and clean. My variant had almost any armed combat in mind (with the main focus on lightsabers though). Our group is pretty low level (max force skills around 2d+2 or 3d) and have only just started using lightsabers (and none have their own yet).

Anyway, I had to host the files on scribd because copy and paste onto the forum from the word doc didn't go to well. If I remember correctly, I was inspired by some of the shadowrun stuff from 3rd edition in the canon companion. Not sure what else I may have borrowed from other than the dueling blades stuff. I just remember trying to keep the fight from being "attack roll, parry roll, rinse and repeat."

Some of the maneuvers like leading and riposting refer to maneuvers chosen from the other document. I should probably also add that our lightsaber combat power is house ruled as follows:

Lightsaber Combat Force Power:

There is no multiple action penalty (map) for keeping the lightsaber combat power up and the power may be activated as a free action. When this power is activated, the jedi may add +1d to his lightsaber skill and an additional +1d for every 3d above 1d that the character has in his sense skill. Additionally, the jedi adds +1d to the damage rating of his lightsaber attacks and an additional +1d for every 3d above 1d that the character has in his control skill. Parrying blaster attacks may still be attempted with the modified lightsaber skill as an additional action. Redirecting the shot may be done as another additional action using the sense skill to hit and the blaster shots normal damage.
