Lightning Block with Saber Defense

[Gabe Alkorda]

While fiddling around, testing various Force powers the other day with Masters Zaki and Feraan, I learned that when someone blocks lightning with their saber, it makes no difference how many people are shooting lightning at them, as far as how much FP is drained from them. What I mean is that Master Zaki and I were both storming Master Feraan, and his FP was drained the same as it would've been had it just been one of us storming him. Any way this could be changed, to take the number of "stormers" into effect?

[Cyril Feraan]

Exactly. Isn't it a bit absurd that with Saber Defense 3, I can not only block Storm 5 and have 80 FP remaining (as a Consular), but then other people using Storm makes no ill effects? I realize the latter situation is quite rare, however.

[Vantus]

So the FP drain should be doubled or trippled based on how many people are zapping the defender?

[Cyril Feraan]

Perhaps. How often do you have multiple Storms going anyway?

True

[Gabe Alkorda]

Indeed, it's almost never going to happen, but it seems like it should be done just in case. I mean, unless it's a HUGE amount of work, in which case forget about it.

I'd also like Saber Defense to block matching Storm levels. In that, Def 3 can block Storm 1, 2, and 3, Def 4 can block 1, 2, 3 and 4, and Defense 5 can block all levels.

[Gabe Alkorda]

Agreed
