STAR WARS RPG – Lightsaberforms
Like any other true form of martial arts that deserves to be called like that, the art of lightsaber fighting has seen many styles and variants over the millennia. Some were common and widespread, others were rare and known by only a few Jedi at all.
Lightsaber forms work as single skills, like Lore or Knowledge. Additionally they count as advanced skills, i.e. a character needs 5D in Lightsaber before being able to learn a form, with the Exception of Form I, which is the basic Lightsaber style and its maneuvers can be used by any character with Jedi training and the lightsaber skill ( only with the basic skill not the dice in other forms ). To learn any form of lightsaber fighting art a character has to have a teacher, or other medium that can show the moves and principles of that form. With the GMs agreement, the Jedi can also try to create an own form, however.
The Seven Primary Forms
- Form I: Shii-Cho
- Form II: Makashi
- Form III: Soresu
- Form IV: Ataru
- Form V: Djem So
- Form VI: Niman
