Editing Light Bow



  



'''Lightarrows (lightbows)'''

Skill: Bows (as for bow/crossbow type)

Power used: Force archery

Difficulty: as per bow type +5 (no possibility to accidentally damage yourself, though)

Damage: 3D [+ 1/2 Control]

Notes: you can't parry with arrows (obviously), but you can shoot them to deflect shots aimed at anyone (using 1/2 of Sense). Also, when deflecting a shot aimed at him, a Jedi may shoot at the attacker deflecting blaster bolt in flight and hitting him with his arrow. However, this stunt is pretty difficult to pull off (add +5 to deflect difficulty and +10 to attack difficulty). Also, the Jedi may try to control where the shot will go, but this is terribly difficult, even for experienced Jedi (use 1/4 of Control and add +5 to "to hit" difficulty for deflected shot). Also, if the Jedi deflects a shot aimed at a target outside of short range, he must use TK to speed the arrow up (make a Moderate telekinesis roll). Please note that this gives no increase in damage, as it is not Strength-based...

Description: Lightarrows must be made using Ilum crystals (no place for power source), and the lightblade is rather weak and short (about 3-5 centimeters). Lightbows (as they were called by ignorants) were mainly used by Factotums for target protection (esp. if the target did not want a Jedi protection, so nobody could be near him and deflect the bolt with his saber). Some warriors also used them, but this was very rare... The most famous lightbow-using Jedi was Tell, a blind Warrior with no hands. He used a crossbow with a special durraloy bow, which had a pull of over 500 kgs. He cocked and aimed it with telekinesis... And he used lightbolts only for target protection, because arrows shot from&nbsp; his crossbow were so powerful he had no need of some lightblade fixed on them...
