Battle System Preview and Demonstration: Version 0.1

Rui Jormar

I think i got the general idea although i had to be at it for 30 mins to find it out Very Happy

Rive Caedo

Haha, maybe I should make some sort of flash animation explaining the whole thing once I have the rest of the system hammered out.

Things that still need development:

1. The big one: A structured instruction guide on how to play, rather than this preview of the entire system.
2. The other big one: Abillities. How Force Lightning, Choke, Speed, Push, Pull, Throw, Absorb, Protection, Sense, Mind Trick, etc etc etc affect combat.
3. How to handle non-Jedi classes in combat
4. How to handle items: Armor/Robes mostly.
5. How to handle custom weapons
6. Enviromental effects (How being outside in an open field works versus say... Underwater Razz

)

So all in all, yes. This will be a very complex system, but that's really what it's supposed to be. It's a full seperate game for your characters.

The abillities guide will hopefully give some people ideas on how to use their force powers in regular roleplays though. Not all Force Lightnings are equal Very Happy

I'm sorry Rive, but you may as well not bother. No one will use this, or people will misunderstand, and misuse it. Just don't bpther, and let us do it our way.

While I thought it was a good idea Rive it lacked simplicity. Ignorance is Bliss. I did like the pictures tho Laughing

. I think it should be done like this. Hope you don't mind if I try this Rive Very Happy

Everyone gets to do 3 things in 1 post. This can be 1 turn of talking, 1 of lightsaber dueling and 1 of moving around the RP whatever the RP'er deems fit for the situation, it can even be 1 turn of dancing for no reason. Or it could be all 3 of saber dueling making it more detailed.You can't go overboard and keep attacking and keep talking all in one post. Keep it simple like Lanik does. Like say someone uses only 1 for saber dueling and 1 for talking it would be like this.

Also I have played both Dungeons and Dragons and Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, and a conversion of AD&D for SW's so I can help with this

Oh, ok, yeah, I lknow what Roleplaying is, just didn't understand RP Very Happy

Apologies for the late replies.

Revan: Whilest the "Restrain yourself" system is indeed an important point for normal roleplaying. That's not what this was meant to be.
This was meant to be an entirely seperate system with strategy, tactics, unique character templates, and suprising turns in the game.

The project is temporarily on hold until such time as enough "Older" members have joined that I believe could understand and utilize the completed system.

As it stands a slightly modified system has been produced and is being used fairly successfully on a Firefly roleplaying board mostly for pistol duels. The problems found in that system will help me make the later versions of this one if ever deemed ready.

Minious: I'm not making you do anything. As I've said countless times. Do what you want. In the future some people may want a complex tactical battle system like this.

Until then: The Firefly board is enjoying it Smile
