if some such thing was too happen in kotor 2 they would have to make it into a force power, if it was just automatic it would render force lightning useless against other force users. but having it as a force power is a cool idea, like with the first tier blocking some of the lightning, second deflecting it randomly and third reflecting it back at the attacker

It's just some concept art. Might not even be possible in the game.

Yeah that would be ok...But then Force Lightning would be one less power i will have for my DS character...

[GarethCarrots]

stuff force lightning i want force crush, looks like such an improvement on the misleadingly named 'kill' power

[DarthRevan987]

Force Fury .Force Crush will be my two main DS FP i will be using...Though i hope they will not be the only new DS FP in the game

[KOTORFanactic]

I have learnt from somewhere that force crush can only be learnt from an NPC who already knows it. A special ability of there's.

 

I aint sure where i heard it, but i do know that some abilities can only be taught to the PC from party NPCs. Force Crush is an example of this. So you r gonna need to find the guy who can teach this to u.

 

On topic:

If the ability to block lightning is in game, it wont be automactic. That renders lightning obselete, so there is no point in having it.

It would most likely be something like Master Valour, that gives a temporary boost to something. (in this case the ability to block/resist lightning).

The LS power resist energy already does that doesn't it?

yeah but this is like in relation to a picture where a dude is blocking lightning with his saber which implies new powers or possibly a lightsaber with lightning reflection qualities?

[Laozi]

or perhaps her shoes allow her saber to block lightning,

 

Some sort of superpowered shoes?

[GarethCarrots]

hmmm nice idea but td prob end up with the makers of the wizard of oz claiming it was a rip off, and then make a game based completely on the magic shoes

Don't mind Laozi, he likes mentioning something about shoes in every topic. One of those little forum peculiarities that cannot be explained or understood.

I would think a lightsabre crystal wich gave the user lightning resistance would be very possible.

 

However, even if you take a piece of consept art as being directly indicative of in-game content, it is not clear whether Atris is actually blocking the lightning with her sabre or just waving it around while Sion sparks off.

 

I would think it more likely that the Jedi Master PrC will get a "reflect force" power, emulating yoda.

[ShinIchiro]

Umm...in EU and even the original trilogy, lightening is blockable by lightsabers. I don't see why this is a strange or even new idea... The only new thing is incorporating it into the ruleset...

[zion22]

I was hoping that it would be based on DEX so that if tou were high in DEX the you would have a chase of stopping it.

[Jedi Master D Murda]

What about the Electrical Capicitate belt. I use that when I fight Malak and Bastila, lightning never works

[OrganisedChaos]

That belt was good. Both me and Malak were using lightning on each other but he was doing no damage at all, you'd think he'd realise that and switch to lightsabers though

[GarethCarrots]

bit off topic but hey, that final fight with malak left me a bit dissapointed, all you had to do was use plenty of medpacs or woteva n then try nd freeze or drain the captive jedi, im hopein all the new saber stance in kotor 2 will make major fites a bit less repetetive

[Craftsman]

Also hope theres more scripts to choose from.

[Master Jedi]

bit more off topic i used thermal detonators to beat malak in the last round, when he was far enough away from me

Blockable in the original trilogy?????

 

In any case, I'm sure they could implement it with some sort of AC or Dex or maybe even based on BAB (since that's your skill with a lightsaber). Or maybe a combination with your saving throw. Beat the DC and it does half damage...beat the DC by 10 and you block it. Make it a reflex save so that Dexterity can help it out.
