Can you move your characters to the characters tab?  Sometimes I try to compare them, and I have to go back and forth.  

So I'm thinking of adding in "Damage Threshold."  That is, in a combat scenario, you have to be beaten in the roll by a certain number in order to take any damage.  It's a kind of buffer.  

So, if we're in a lightsaber duel, you roll 19 and I roll 17, ordinarily I would take 2 damage.  If I had a DT of 3, however, I would take none, even though I lost the roll.  

I like it, because it means that every crossing of sabers doesn't end in someone getting tagged.  Injuries would be harder to get, and would mean a little more.  

The question is: how to implement?  Everyone could have the same DT, but that's a little silly.  I was considering two different ways:

A) Armor, but I don't know what the drawback would be(there [i]must[/i] be one).  

B) Another stat(Constitution, I guess), more points in our total pool, and give everyone this one chance to respec their characters. 


Thoughts?

sorry, thought I'd posted it there already.

As for damage threshholds, we could go with one for ranged weapons (dexterity), one for Melee weapons (strength, as we don't have a constitution skill), one for force powers (force), and just use them as skills.  Say I've done no defense training.  Against blasters I'd have a threshhold of 2, as my Dex is 2.  Against melee I'd have a DT of 5 and against Force powers a DT of 5, as both of those are at 5.  Alternatively, all weapons could be Dex based and Force Defense could be Force based.
