Considering that our primary medium of communication and characterization is through text, I'd be reluctant to encourage sonic explorations of character. If you have a catchphrase, bind it's delivery textually to a key but I'd question the use of this. It's limiting your character, not enhancing it....

Or they talk to you and you don't respond because you are away and they have the good sense to go and talk to someone else?

Regarding protection: By fp drain I meant continuous drain and specifically at level 3. It takes a hit out of your fp pool in one big lump but it doesn't drain further until more damage is taken. An increase in the class system would indeed lend more variety but there are only so many variables and ...

Because then you need less xp to achieve those things, thus making it easier for you to become an ungodly behemoth of force skills. Having hold to level 5 with optional choke WOULD BE COOL but I don't think it's possible to code with JA. Hold 3 is already pretty effective and can be combined with pu...

No Kenta is right actually, especially as Protect doesn't drain FP until someone attacks. When a Guardian uses those powers in combination (which they clearly can despite a lower force pool) they become utterly unbeatable unless you are a: unnaturally good with a saber for your class or b: spam forc...

'Hold' changes from level to level. Level 1 and 2 are literally 'Force Hold' -> levitating the target and holding them in position. Level 3 can move from free telekinesis to 'Force Throw' (if you know how) Level 4 becomes Choke and Level 5 becomes Crush. 'Hold' encompasses most of these in a broader...

::picks up a brick and throws it at the assailant:: - the force mana pool is a game mechanic. If you were on a mission and you 'ran out of force' - or rather you got tired - and you had to catch the bad guy, lobbing an ignited beam of superheated magnetised plasma at him isn't really going to 'catch...

I've never allowed my padawans to 'buy' a power without prior negotiation with me, if I intend RP training to go towards a specific ability, I stipulate in their Journals, if not I don't overly prescribe.

The system you propose is just fine but I wouldn't like to see it imposed through mechanics.

I think the advantage one gains if you successfully push someone over is sufficient, and to then inflict further damage on them at a higher level opens the power to abuse. Eg: If I push a youngling over, I'd clearly control it to not injure them. If I pushed Gabe over, he's competent enough to not g...

You'd need to be able to set the duration of the animation, whether to loop it or not, etc etc

It'd be very complex to execute but definitely bind-able and useful for those willing to spend time using it.

I'll still be making /me my first port of call though.

Just so we're all clear, I actually just kidnapped Anthony Daniels (his favourite biscuits are bourbons and his favourite artist is Elton John) and I don't at all sound like any of the droids.

His role play function is more a medical overseer and if you need massive health boosts use the bacta tanks thems...
