The essential weapon of every Sith - the lightsaber is a laser sword capable of cutting through almost everything, from sentient human limbs to the most solid of steels. Vader's lightsaber is equipped with a dual-phase function, which allows the length of the blade to be manually altered (lengthened or shortened).
How long is the blade? Is there a drawback at all (people get fatigued from swinging swords around a lot)? Also, maybe try describing the sounds the saber emits and what it's like to wield it/be up close and personal with it! Otherwise, you're good.
EDIT: OH AND if you want there to be a lengthened and shortened version, you'll have to make it 600. That's variable.
Quote:Saber Throw (300 OM) (requires Ranged Proficiency, Telekinesis)
Vader pulls his lightsaber-arm backward for a second before launching his limb forward, grip of his saber releasing to toss is forth in a boomerang-esque fashion. The saber will spin and cut through the air in a horizontal fashion, slicing and scalding anyone unfortunate enough to be in the swords proximity as it glides through the air. After about 3 seconds (or making contact with a target) the lightsaber would return to Vader's hand, just as it was before he threw it.
Awesome! How fast would you say the saber moves as it flies through the air? (Fast as a thrown ball or slower? Arrow? Bullet?) This makes it easier to gauge if a character can believably dodge it! Also, would you say that Vader has to focus a lot to conduct this move, like he's unable to do a saber-toss while moving around (ie, must he remain stationary)? Is it difficult to aim? Can it be paired with other moves? Be sure to add some sort of drawback, like mental/physical fatigue/stamina drain!
Quote:Force Push (600 OM) (requires Ranged Proficiency, Telekinesis)
Placing his hand forward, Darth Vader would utilise his power in the force to push his opponent back a couple of metres. This move would take about a split second to perform but, however, Vader can choose to take a few more seconds to charge up his force push to be more powerful and destructive, a torrent capable of hurling back certain enemies a couple of feet.
For what I have bolded/underlined, please specify the minimum time and the maximum time that Vader can charge this for. Also, since the actual effects of the move are determined by stats, please change "back a couple of metres" to "up to a couple of metres"! Aaaand, right now it says feet for the charged attack and meters for the normal attack. Since meters are larger than feet, I'd suggest reversing your wording.
Is this a precise attack that needs to be aimed, or just a wave of force that doesn't need to be aimed? If it's the latter, I'll need an area of effect measurement. Can it be combined with other moves? Does he have to concentrate to perform a Force Push?
Must Vader remain stationary to do a Force Push? What's the range on this-- does the distance of his opponent from Vader alter the move's effects at all (would it be weaker hitting an opponent that is further way)? This needs some drawbacks, too! Is Vader fatigued when he performs this move/is there a stamina drain?
The original post has been updated with all the requested changes.
