Sensing somebody else sensing?

Post by Saos Nartu (old) »

I was thinking about this whilst playing. In Star Wars: Return Of The Duty, when Han, Leia, Chewbacca and Luke are in the shuttle flying past the star-destroyer, Darth Vader senses Luke's prescence in the shuttle. Now, lets think about what Luke said, "I'm endangering the mission, I shouldn't have come..". He sensed Darth Vader, knowing that Darth Vader sensed his prescence.

So I was wondering, could this be implemented into JEDI? Seeing as it would be a fairly difficult think to sense somebody that's sensing you; I'd propose making it a level 3-4 sense level.

Elaborate.

I don't think this would be very useful.

Additionally, I don't think that Luke actually sensed Vader sensing him. He sensed Vader on the moon, and used logic to assume that Vader could sense him, knowing that Vader's power far surpassed his own.

I agree with Master Corinth, Luke just could feel Vader nearby and knew that he could probably feel his presence as well.

Yeah it was more of an assumption.

Plus there's a way the game already does that,, with the sense sound effect jingle. You can pretty much here when people are "probing' the force." I guess you could say. You could just use that if you like.

At last check, that was a feature switched off in RPMod, Atrux, and by popular effect, too. It was generally accepted that it gets rather annoying, since most people use Sense on a near-constant basis when walking around the Temple, or when hearing the Mind Trick sound.

I'd call that metagaming. It isn't much fun if you heard the jingle and you were roleplayer a hopeful, such as myself. Cause realistically a hopeful wouldn't have any idea what they're doing; being as untrained as they are.
