Poll: In a Star Wars RPG, How Many Players Would Want To Pick Lightsaber Forms?

[Anxe]

I’d do something similar to this, but without tying feats to a style as such. Instead, I’d create an array of lightsaber feats you could qualify for at various levels and then define the forms as feat-sets.

Like, a Jedi who takes all the defensive feats (A, B, and C) is adopting form III. One who takes instead takes A, B, and D (D being a lightsaber v. lightsaber specific feat) is a Form II duelist. Someone who takes E, F, and G - mobility and offensive feats - is a Yoda-style whirlwind, and so on.

This also allows the occasional PC to
come up with a unique combo and found their own form (see also: Mace Windu and his almost-Sith-aggressive form VII.)

That's definitely how I'd do it if I was basing my system off of d20.

EDiT: I'd also take a look at how Hackmaster handles it. They have a bit of the rock-paper-scissors effect that you described.
