Vruki is working on a mod, since I'm the one on the computer at the moment, he requested I post this.

He needs us all to think of cool force powers. List everything you can think of (well no really joky ones), offense and defensive, light and dark, ones from games, but go ahead and make stuff up.

He's working on Force Fire. Snap your fingers, wave you hand, whatever, and watch your opponet (as long as he isn't Force resisting) burst into flames. SITHY! :cool:

So start listing. :)


EDIT: Link to a picture of early version Force fire:
OUCH

after lots of these hallucination ideas im thinking that you will have to make ONE mindtricking power but it will have different abilities depending on your side with the force etc.
i dunno if its possible to make a force power with selectable effects, but i think that would be the best choice

I plan on a stasis power, to slow or freeze people.

Unless I misunderstand, meditate would be like your second thing Kauyon. You're vulnerable but power would come back quickly.

..How about a force power to slow the target down, or perhaps weaken?

Another idea, how about a charge force power?
You become weaker defensively, taking more damage, but regen force much faster.

battle meditation for team deathmatch? :P
like increase some modifiers for your team and decrease for enemies team. though you will like meditating in air = good target for anyone.
if you pull it out and your team defends you then its very effective.
dunno just something came up to my mind :)

Has anyone thought about *Force Crush* ? from Kotor ? same thing as grip only much more powerful. At least on Kotor.

Then again it wouldn't be a good idea cause people would use it way to often.

I like the visual illusions but maybe with care I could make the other stuff work too. Maybe there could be something like if you try to attack a confused guy that attack doesn't actually fire but acts as a "threat" that snaps the confused guy out of his confusion. So basically you could mind trick someone in wild ways as long as you didn't try to attack him.

That would be rough for a moment and then he's get used to it. But if they *kept* changing - that would be too rough!

I think some of these things like confusion and insanity should randomly choose from a list of possible effects. The controls things could be one of them. I hadn't thought of it before. I don't think it would be hard to make that.

Confusion is a fine addition to mind trick and fear. I already wanted insanity more like confusion than fear.


Why not make confusion effect the controls, if that's even possible.
I know jack about modding, so I dunno.
But my point being, while confused, switch the buttons for left and right strafe, and back and forward movements.
That'd be.. confusing.

Force Punch, like force push except more powerful, but uses up a lot more mana. I think this force power exists in KOTOR, but has a different name.

Lief, I tend to agree with your anything goes idea. But I think your implosion idea is the one thing I just couldn't do! Well, unless I can get the game to let me scale down the models X and Y axes but not the Z axes... But even that I think would just work at spawn time and I don't think the point would be to make your opponent look like spaghetti when he respawned.

Sazabi I already want to do your mind trick ideas under the name "insanity." What I was thinking for mind trick is when you're tricked and you try to attack the tricker and/or his allies you'll find your attack button won't work and instead you'll wave or make some kind of friendly gesture. It would be good if you would say "move along!" or "have a nice day" or something but not every model has an appropriate sound for it.

Oh and I forgot, Majno. Your kind of levitation is one of the first thing we decided must be in there. My idea/plan is that you can lift something and then if you wish choose a direction to throw it. (Towards you, away, left or right.) That would be a real "grip" I think. The thing they call grip now would be that power combined with some hurting power.

The basic catagories I had in mind were:

Effect energy
Effect mind and senses
Effect object
Effect person

All powers would be derivatives of one or several of those skills combined, I guess. I haven't put tons of thought into it yet.

From my point of view, any "Force" power imaginable is possible, only depending on the user's ability to concentrate that energy, no matter how small or how great, into whatever they wish. It's all about control of energy from what I understand.

For example, in one of the Expanded Universe books, Luke Skywalker or someone made an illusion of a ship to trick the enemy. That's a bit different from the normal force grip and force push. If someone would like to solidify this example, please do. :P

By the way, to contribute to this thread, I would think something along the lines of something exploding or imploding.

I'd have to say like Vasper pointed out I think.
Force Levitaion would be cool, to be able to gain control over opponent and levitate him in the air, ergo drop him or throw him around to do damage.:)
You know like when Vader throws stuff at Luke in Ep4 duel.
Or when Yoda levitates Lukes X-wing out of the swamp.
Make it so one can grab opponent like with Force Grip, but the actual levitation control doesnt hurt, only what one does with what one has control over.



Yeah, I think they're going to be divided into basic categories like 'telikenisis' and 'effect person' right Vruki? :)

And there will be a Force Grasp or Hold or whatever, a harmless Grip.

i think that could be improved version of mindtrick. instead of losing sight of your opponent you should start seeing some scary visions, multiple copies of that opponent or something, that would look more like REAL MINDTRICK!

Assuming that this things goes all the way, then all powers will be available to everyone but using some of them will lead a light-sider towards the dark side. Going all the way will incur some kind of penalty of the RPG kind like losing control of your character.

The mod idea takes place during wartime so you'd think that it would be fine for "good guys" to use offensive powers as battlefield weapons but using them still requires tapping into strong negative emotions hence the dark taint.

I like the idea of ripping stuff up by pure telekenis but I don't mind the ball of energy either. They're just 2 different skills, similar but for people with different skills or styles.

Well there won't be the normal Force Point trading system in the role playing story mode. :P
Jedi can use Force powers that hurt others, probably not lightning but stuff like grip is ok I think.
