Exactly. Why does everyone blame George for f-ing up the SWU when KJA beat him to it?

I've never really liked the Miraluka as a concept. I'd have been happy if it was a human (or any other race Jedi) with a customized Force power that allowed them to see through the Force rather than a whole race of beings that see through the Force.

If I had to run one I'd assume the Force sight was akin to echo location. Darkness and many other vision obsuring situations would be completely ignored. They would not be able to percieve holograms at all (so holographic disguises would not work) and they would be unable to read a computer screen, datapad or writing on a wall if it was not somehow raised.

The Wookieepedia page on Force sight doesn't quite back this up

Perhaps if it was just toned down to where they could sense where everyone was, in relation to the walls/floors/ceilins of their current locale, and didn't go through walls (unless a door or window was open) it would be easier.

I played around with a power once that I called Sixth Sense. It basically just allowed a Force user with some sort of obstructed sense (sight, hearing, whatever) to function as though that sense was unimpeded. Never could quite get it the way I wanted it, though...

Hows about

Sixth sense
This power allows a force user to act with 1 to 3 senses impaired as if those senses were not impaired. Unlike magnify senses and the like it does not alter them beyond what would normally be allowable for the race.

This is a control roll with a difficulty of easy (8) for one sense impaired, moderate (13) for two, or difficult (18) for three senses. For some unknown reason it won't work with more than 3 senses impaired. When activated it lasts 1 hour, and does not require an action to keep up.

THat's as good as anything. The main problem that I ran into was that the RAW is pretty vague when it comes to the penalties for blindness and other obstructed senses...

Cover
Characters are harder to hit when they've got cover:
something that hides them from attackers. In some
situations, such as thick smoke and fog, these modifiers
may also be added to search or Perception difficulties
to spot a hidden character.
Add the cover modifier (or modifiers if more than
one applies) to the difficulty to hit the target.
Cover Modifier
Light smoke +1D
Thick smoke +2D
Very thick smoke +4D
Poor light +1D
Moonlit night +2D
Complete darkness +4D

Example: Thannik is in a dark alley looking
for his target. He spots movement in the back of
the alley and sees that it's the person he's trying
to track down. The target is at medium range
(Moderate difficulty; difficulty number 13), but
it's a moonlit night, which adds +2D to the difficulty.
The gamemaster rolls and gets a 5.
Thannik's new difficulty is an 18. He rolls a 15 —
his shot misses.
