I have been wondering if this idea was feasable for a little while now.
As some jedi have the ability to drain force from other jedi (but not NPC force users) would it:
1: Be feasable amongst the devs to allow a little HAM to be taken from an enemy and converted to the force pool and
2: Be workable code-wise, bearing in mind force channel takes HAM from the player and converts that to the force pool already.
I was thinking more powerful than force channel (maybe twice as much) but still not giving that much damage to the enemy (this would be player, NPC and creature - obviously not droid
). Something maybe along the damage of a basic force throw. Nothing gamebreaking with regards to incoming damage to the enemy.On the side of balance, as with force channel itself it makes the user miss at least one turn (the time to channel and attack after is around 4-5 seconds anyway it seems) so when a jedi does this he or she would not be doing a big attack (just a slight graze at worst!) to the enemy.
It would almost be like a warcry effect, self inflicted on the jedi from the point of view of the jedi's opponent.
I say twice as much force gained than force channel but it could be threefold depending on the missed combat roll described above (risk v reward and nothing overpowering to the enemy). Depending on the attack it may even be comparable to two or three or even four combat rolls (as lightsabre attacks are every second, lightning single 2 with 4xxx addons from powers is every 2 seconds).
Maybe it could fit into tier 3 of enhancer xxxX as channel is xxx1 and this would prevent every jedi having it. I say tier 3 as I am using as an example lightning single 1 being 1xxx of powers and lightning single 2 being 3xxx of powers.
Unless this is easy to code and implement it would obviously be months away if trickier to code. (Approval pending)
