I would prefer the Lightsaber dice pool to be something like Brawn/Agility plus Force Rating. It's always struck me that Luke never has a single lesson in how to wield a lightsaber, but he's able to wound Darth Vader in Empire and even be a match for him in Return.

Blamestorm posted:I don't have the book in front of me but it makes sense to me if one considers brawn to be physical fitness and athleticism, and agility to be delicate motor skills. A fencer, martial artist, tennis player, are all examples of athletic behaviour which requires strength and dexterity in a more active sense (hardly contradictory) whereas agility could be delicate motor control for lock picking, sharpshooting, careful manipulation of sensitive pilot controls, etc. But I doubt it's actually split up like this. I believe it is, actually. Brawn is over fitness, while Agility is "balance, flexibility, and deft hands." Atheltics is a Brawn-based skill, and it's not just used for lifting heavy stuff, it's also for running, jumping, and climbing. With those descriptors, I'd still say either is a fit for the lightsaber skill. Honestly, given how most characteristics could somehow factor into a saber duel (I'm a bit iffy on Presence), I think the ability to take a talent for any characteristic is a fine one. As Cirno's mentioned before though, it'd be nice if the respective talents were a good fit for the career they come from.
