Is that using the older rules for weapon stats? I noticed they had different numbers for the various armor. Speaking of, what prompted the change away from impact? |

Probably older stuff, it's a fan based doc. Went form Imapct because of the following, I shoot a Rep 3 guy with an Impact 4 weapon. I shoot a Rep 5 guy with an Impact of 4 weapon. They both suffer equal damage even though the Rep 5 is 2 points higher than the Rep 3. Hope that makes sense. |

Correct. As they cost more point wise (I count the Rep and add 1 or 2 for the armor) they should be better.

What would you do for things like force lightning, force heal, and stuff? I was thinking something like this: Either using rep of force weirder or having a force value (in which case replace the rep in the following with the casters force value) Force lighting- give it something like a target rating of Rep and counting it as a shooting. Force Heal- does what a medic does. Force Crush- counts as Rep Armor Piercing against vehicles Battle Meditation- increases Rep of Rep Number of units or models by 1 Force Cloak/ Force Deception- take Rep test- Pass 2D6 cannot be targeted, pass 1D6- enemy counts -1 to firing test. What do you think? What would your ideas be? |

Just saw this one. Your ideas look good to me. The best thing is to tweak rules to fit what you want. Then if playing against someone that has played the rules before, let them know before game of the changes or additions.

I used Magic rules for most Force powers. Damage is anything from Choke or Lightning to hurling an opponent back. Defend is Shield or something similar. Dazzle can be Illusion.
For everything else, I use Force Skill. When performing a Challenge or Interaction, you get +1d6. However, failing is just like Power, where you suffer -1 to Rep.
Still working on SW rules but I’m currently finishing NaNo first.

Regarding Force-related abilities, the three magic spells from Talomir (and all the THW fantasy rules) might be a good starting point. Damage, Dazzle, Defend. Straight-forward, minimalist rules, with the opportunity to add any details that fit your story.
