great ideas. i like the i dea of animation before choosing attack, like lotr return of the king, where you can watch the character do the move.....hey fellowship feats in kotor??? maybe....
i like the idea of having a few powers and then instead of having improved and master, you could add the point system thing you mentioned. Some of those force powers and other things sound awesome, but some seem to only work with a more hack and slash game.
good ideas as a whole. i wouldnt need a story if these are in there
