New RP, Star Wars like.

[Rhuhael]

Although you should carry a flechete for anti-jedi and a DH-17 for areas with civilians.

Also if you want something REALLY powerful get a disruption pistol. Only holds about 5 shots but it breaks shit down at the molecular level. It blows through about.... anything.

Force Drain is slow... It's a .5% drain a second (After draining and your cost). It's mainly to heal yourself using allies who are in good health.

But I would say about two at a time I guess.

Alright, just checking. So when is this RP going to get started?

[Krylo]

I'm quite certain there are more types of blasters out there than we've seen in the movies and books, and the serial numbers don't seem important (and I can't remember dh this or blastek that... sorosuub this) ... but really I just want him to have something extremely small and weak. Ghyslain wouldn't be comfortable with any kind of real firepower. He only has one for self protection.

[Rhuhael]

That's what I was thinking. So if you were really demonic you could use Lightning and Drain at the same time and feed yourself as much as you needed and keep pumping that shit into your opponent. Or you could heal stuff while being invincible (my fav idea, no wounds from anything and healing what you do get. *Sigh* I am evil.)

Edit: Krylo, That'd be the DH-17 it's a decent firepower thing but nothing special. Either that or a sport pistol, but that's more of an aristocrat weapon.

After Celes makes her bio I guess... Seems no one else is joining (If some are, they can join in any time since they can't be Jedi's), so either tonight or tomorrow...

But, I am doing homework (Sorta...), so if either you or krylo would like to write the begining it would start much sooner... (You have co-GM powers)


Edit - For your guy's double Force powers ideas, those will fail horrible. Drain is slow and gives very little back, your over use of lighting would quickly over power the drain. (Plus no one has drain I think)

Protect and Heal would drain you of Force very fast, and you would be weak and tired.

(Remember, Force is like magic, to much use of it leaves you tired, weak, and unable to use it for a while. It comes back naturally (Faster with meditation) though.

[Rhuhael]

If anyone needs to consult on weaponry I just recently became highly knowledgeable in this (spent an hour or two in barnes and knobles researching) so all questions like that direct to me on im so we don't have to clog up the threads anymore.

Edit- IHMN i have drain. that's why I came up with it. Also drain cows your opponent while you're using it right? sort of like lightning except non-damaging. So you could just sit back and drink it in assuming there was nobody else around?

[Forever Zero]

Okay. Any ideas for the direction the RP will take? I know overall we will be fighting the Dark Jedi, but don't know if you had any specific ideas.

Oh, and krylo, just to drag out a dead horse and beat it, a blaster bolt IS a laser beam, according to the Starwars.com Databank. It is...

"The basic blaster technology of intensifying a beam of light into a deadly bolt is scalable, and largely the same despite the differences in weapon types and sizes. The interior mechanisms of a tiny hold-out blaster, a blaster pistol, a large blaster rifle, and a turbolaser cannon are based on the same theories and principles. A squeeze of a trigger emits volatile blaster gas into a conversion chamber, where it is excited by energy from the weapon's power source. The agitated gas is then funneled through the actuating blaster module, where it is processed into an intense particle beam. A prismatic crystal focuses the beam, and passes it through a refinement chamber which "galvens" the beam into its final bolt."

Oh, and so that this has anyr relation to your post, a holdout blaster let's it be easy to hide but wiht low power.

[IHateMakingNames]

Oh no, they can move when draining. People can move while being hit by Lighting, Drain is nothing. They won't even feel it unless you've been doing it to them for 30 seconds or more.

Edit - Oh, and the first chapter is just all of us Jedi's on a random planet to find some Dark Jedi's who are suspected to be there, but we will end up needed help from the non Jedi's (Like some place will need to be hacked, so krylo comes in)

Ok, look that makes no sense. A particle beam isn't a 'beam' it's subatomic molecules pushed at a incredibly high rate. I like krylo's explanation better.

It allows for more flexible play although a lase beam would be more practical. But also I love physics and I have to say that putting a partical beam through a crystal would acheive little more than blowing the crystal to smithereens.

Edit- IHMN so can we still use a lightsaber while draining?
