Mind Trick Suggestion
Posted: Fri Dec 10, 2010 7:34 am
I just noticed someone had posted about the mind trick and thought i would give my suggestion.
Anyway, I have always had problems with Mind trick myself, Because mindtrick is used in the Movies to make easy agreements, Or Reveal information or resolve matters without causing harm. Mind Trick was used for many different force powers. But ingame they have made MindTrick the force power to make you invisible. Which is not a force power that Mind Trick has. It has always fussed me because it isn't correct.

(It doesn't state that you go invisible when mind tricking)
So instead, When i read this i thought maybe we could do something with the Force Power.
I was thinking, Make Mind Trick become Force Cloak.

Although, It isn't entirely accurate, I think it makes more sense.
Then, Mind trick could stay as it is, But maybe with a different power, Such as be able to use force persuasion (Without having to PM them that there being persuaded). Although i haven't correctly figured how it could work ingame. But maybe you could use the force power and it would Shake the players screen, If that player suddenly does a animation, It means you have successfully mind tricked him and that you can persuade him. But if the player doesn't do the animation then your Mind trick powers are not strong enough to force persuade.
Or we could get rid of Mind trick and just RP it, When doing a force persuasion or something. But over all i think Mind Trick needs some work.
