Sounds similar to the White Wolf ability pips which work really well. All very encouraging so far Mr Dubz!

Cheers!

I own Vampire:The Masquerade, Werewolf: The Apocalypse, Demon: The Fallen, Hunter: The Reckoning, Changeling: The Dreaming, Wraith: The Oblivion, and all the "Dark Ages" versions, so I am in no way influenced by White Wolf Studios

I'll give a quick rundown of my modified d20 SAGA edition
You can freely use ideas for abilities, skills, feats, lightsaber forms, force powers, techniques and what not...


SYSTEM

To decide whether an action fails or succeeds, you just roll a d20, add the ability, skill and misc modifiers and compare to either a number set by the game master (a.k.a. Difficulty Class or DC) or an opposed roll of another character or NPC.

Out of combat (or a non-combat encounter) your character can take any action within reasonable limits. During encounters, there are six types of actions: free, swift, immediate, move, standard and full-round actions.

Free actions are actions which can be taken at any time, both in and out a players' turn, to a reasonable degree. E.g. speech.

Swift actions take little time. Each character can normally take one swift action on its turn.

An immediate action is a swift action taken out of turn. Each character can take normally one immediate action per round.

Move actions take more time and effort than swift actions but less than standard actions. A move action can be downgraded to a swift action if needed (granting a character two swift/immediate actions per turn). Each character can take normally one move action per turn.

Standard actions take more time and effort than move actions. A standard action can be downgraded to a move or swift action (granting a character two move actions or swift actions per turn). Each character can take normally one standard action per turn.

Full-round actions are actions which take the entire round to complete, effectively consuming one standard, move, and swift action.


Advantage and disadvantage

Your character can gain contextual bonuses and penalties on his skill checks, depending on roleplaying and environmental variables. When your character has the high ground, cover, concealment, when he/she surprises an enemy, etc, you can claim Advantage. If the GM accepts your claim your character gains a +3 bonus on the skill check. Conversely, if your character is in a bad situation to accomplish a task, the GM can claim Disadvantage for your character, applying a -3 penalty on the skill check.


Stamina, wounds and death

My campaign was based on heroic player characters As such they were hard, but not impossible to kill. Each character has a number of hit points equal to 50 + 5x PHY, representing stamina and the ability to mitigate and endure minor and light wounds. As long as your character's stamina remains at 1 or more hit points, he/she does not suffer ill effects and hit points are replenished in full after a 5 minutes rest.

However, once a character reaches 0 hit points, he/she is wounded. A character can never have less than 0 hit points. Characters at 0 hit points have to make a Fortitude check vs. DC 20 or fall unconscious. If they fall unconscious, they are considered helpless and can be killed. If they do not fall conscious, they are heavily wounded, taking a -5 penalty on all checks. If they get hit again, they have to reroll their Fortitude check, until they survive the encounter or pass out. (This made death only possible in the case of a TPK, total party kill; for other campaigns I'm much more severe )
If you are wounded and maintained consciousness, you regain your stamina after 1d4 days of recovery. If you are wounded and lost your consciousness, you regain your stamina only after 2d4 days of recovery.

Successful Medicine checks hasten the healing process. A character with Medicine as a minor skill can apply first aid, bringing an unconscious character back to consciousness with a DC 15 Medicine check (full-round action) and the use of a medpack (used up after one go) or a medical kit. The character remains at 0 hit points and continues to take a -5 penalty on all checks, however.
A character with Medicine as a medium skill can patch up a wounded character with a DC 15 Medicine check (5 minutes) and the use of a medical kit. The character remains at 0 hit points but does not take a -5 penalty on all checks, unless he/she is hit again.
A character with Medicine as a major skill can reduce the natural recovery time when someone is wounded to one day, using a surgical kit or kolto/bacta treatment.


SPECIES

I only had the more or less humanoid species for my campaign, so we'll skip this.

LIGHTSABER FORMS

If you have Lightsabers as a minor skill, you know Form I (Shii-Cho). If you have Lightsabers a an average skill, you know Form I and two other Forms of your choice. If you have Lightsabers as a major skill, you know Form I and four other Forms of your choice. Switching from one Form to another is a swift action.

Form I Shii-Cho (PHY)
Younglings are taught Shii-Cho first because of its simplicity and versatility. Sometimes called the ideal form, Form I uses horizontal side-swipes and parries made with the blade of the lightsaber held upright to push the point of an enemy's blade away during a side-to-side attack. If the attack is a downward slash aimed at the head, Form I simply reverses the motion, with a horizontally-held lightsaber being moved up and down to deflect a blow. All the basic ideals of attack, parry, target zones, and practice drills were created with the Form I style. When using Form I, your Lightsaber checks are modified by your Physique score. You can use lightsaber checks to block melee weapons and lightsabers and deflect energy bolts from pistols and rifles.

Form II Makashi (DEX)
Prerequisite: Form I
After Form I's proliferation as a saber combat technique, Form II came about as a means of lightsaber-to-lightsaber combat. It is described as being very elegant, powerful, and requiring extreme precision, allowing the user to attack and defend with minimal effort, while his/her opponent tires himself/herself out. The form relies on parries, thrusts, and small, precise cuts—as opposed to the blocking and slashing of the other forms. The blade manipulation required is very refined and requires much focus, but the results are extremely potent. As ranged weapons such as blasters come into play, the advantages of this form of lightsaber combat become less useful, but it is still potent against multiple opponents. When using Form II, your Lightsaber checks are modified by your Dexterity score. You gain a +3 bonus on lightsaber checks to attack and to block melee weapons and lightsabers. However, you cannot deflect energy bolts from pistols and rifles.

Form III Soresu (AGI)
Prerequisite: Form I
Form III, the most defensive of all of the forms, unlike Form II combat, was developed to counteract the advancing blaster technology throughout the galaxy. Soresu utilizes motions occurring very close to the body to achieve near-total protection, efficiently expending as little energy as possible to execute these moves. It stressed quick reflexes and fast positional transition, in order to overcome the rapidity with which a blaster could be fired. This technique exposes as few target zones on the body as possible, making a well-trained practitioner nearly impenetrable. However, Soresu's same dedication to defense and minimal bodily exposure also decreases the lightsaber's threat range. When using Form III, your Lightsaber checks are modified by your Agility score. You suffer a -3 penalty on lightsaber checks to attack, but you gain a +3 bonus on checks to block and deflect melee and ranged attacks.

Form IV Ataru (AGI)
Prerequisite: Form I, Acrobatics as a minor skill
The master practitioners of Form IV make extensive use of acrobatic maneuvers often thought physically impossible without the aid of the Force. It is much like the more obscure form known as Sokan, with which Ataru has cross-fertilized. It emphasized acrobatic strength and power in wielding the blade, attributes which were frowned upon by many traditional Jedi Knights and Masters. Ataru relies on wide slashes, acrobatic proficiency and an open space for the Jedi to fight. One basis for the acrobatic nature of Ataru is that lightsabers can damage with brushing, light strokes, rather than hard chopping motions. Due to its aggressive nature, it is an effective form to use against single enemies but leaves the user open to attacks from multiple opponents. Ataru is better suited to dueling than open warfare. When using Form IV, your Lightsaber checks are modified by your Agility score. You gain a +3 bonus when attacking, blocking and deflecting a single, designated opponent, but you then suffer a -3 penalty when attacking, blocking and deflecting other opponents.

Form V Shien – Djem So (AGI)
Prerequisite: Form III and IV
Form V was developed by a group of Jedi Masters who felt that Form III was too passive, while Form IV was not powerful enough. It addressed the shortcomings of both forms, in which a Jedi Master may have proved to be undefeatable but could not overcome the enemy. Among the many unique aspects of Form V was the development of techniques in which the lightsaber was used to deliberately deflect a blaster bolt directly back at the firer. When using Form V, your Lightsaber checks are modified by your Agility score. You can block and deflect attacks of your opponents. Once per round, after succesful deflection, you can either (1) redirect a blaster bolt to your foe, using your deflection check; or (2) make a counterattack after you successfully blocked an attack.

Form VI Niman (AWA)
Prerequisite: Form I, II, III
The basic philosophy of Niman is "the leaf swept in the winds of the Force". One who uses this form attains a mindset of one who is not perturbed by his or her surroundings, but rides the currents of the surrounding chaos, being harmonious and balanced within. Form VI attempts to balance all elements of lightsaber combat, combining the Forms that came before into a less intensely demanding combat style. The result is that the users' skill in each individual areas of lightsaber combat is only moderate, making Form VI well-suited for diplomats and consulars, as they can spend their time training in the areas of politics, negotiation and Force mastery instead of combat training. Niman is the stepping stone to the dual lightsaber form, known as Jar'Kai; no one who has successfully mastered Jar'Kai has done so without first mastering Niman. When using Form VI, your lightsaber checks are modified by your Awareness score. You can block and deflect attacks and you can always take 10 on all your lightsaber checks.

Form VII Juyo (PHY)
Prerequisite: Form I, II, III, IV, V
The most challenging and demanding of all forms, Form VII requires intense focus, high levels of skill, and mastery of other forms. Juyo is a powerful but precarious form that sacrifices defense in return for greater dexterity and strength of attack. When using Form VII, your lightsaber checks are modified by your Physique score. You gain a +3 bonus on Lightsaber checks to attack, while suffering a -3 penalty on deflecting or blocking attempts. In addition, you may add your physique score to your damage rolls.

Sokan (AGI)
Prerequisite: Form IV, acrobatics as a major skill
The original form of Sokan consisted of tactics for extraordinary feats of evasion and mobility, intended to place the enemy in a poor location or to enhance one's own position. It was combined with the kinetic motions of Form IV combat. Sokan involves swift strokes of the lightsaber aimed towards the opponent's vital areas in addition to quick tumbles and movements. Sokan is modified by your Agility score. You can use Acrobatics instead of Lightsabers to attack, and instead of Reflexes to evade melee and ranged attacks.

Jar'Kai (AGI)
Prerequisite: Form VI
The dual saber style of Jar'Kai permits a Jedi to fight efficiently with two lightsabers, one in each hand – or one double-bladed lightsaber. One of the blades in the wielder's hands is used for attacking while the other one is used for defending, such as parrying, or for more offensive power. Jar'Kai is modified by your Agility score. When attacking, blocking or deflecting, you always roll two dice, taking the best result.

Saber throw (DEX)
You can use your lightsaber as a ranged weapon (close range). You make a Lightsaber check modified by your dexterity to determine if you hit your target.

Tràkata (PER)
Prerequisite: Form I, Guile as major skill, Quick Draw feat
Tràkata takes advantage of a lightsaber blade's ability to be turned on and off, a unique quality in a melee weapon. Quickly shutting off then re-igniting the blade could cause confusion in one's opponents, allowing for diversionary feints in combat. In addition this form frees one's blade hand, allowing greater control of some force powers. Philosophically, Tràkata involves practical combat and deception, rather than single minded determination or endless patience.
Tràkata is modified by your Personality score. Once per round, as a standard action, you can make a Guile check instead of a Lightsaber check when activating your lightsaber and attacking with it (not deflecting or blocking). In addition, you gain a +3 bonus on the attack roll.


THE FORCE

Powers

You must have Use the Force as an average skill to use Force powers.
You know a number of Force powers equal to 7 + AWA.
To use force powers during an encounter, you must spend a force point, representing your connection to the Force. Outside encounters the use of force powers is "free" and open to reasonable use.
You have a number of force points equal to 5 + PER. If you roll a natural 20 on a Use the Force check when using a force power you immediately regain one spent force point.

Absorption [LIGHT]
You absorb force powers directed against you. As an immediate action, by making a successful opposed Use the Force check you can absorb one Force power. If you succeed on the check, you do not spend a force point to activate this power.

* Rebuke [LIGHT]
Prerequisite: Absorption, Use the Force as a major skill
Instead of absorbing a power directed against you, you rebuke the power to its origin. If you succeed on the check, you do not spend a force point to activate this power.

Battle Meditation
Through the force you guide and streamline the combat abilities of you and your allies. Each round you make a Use the Force check as a swift action against 15 + the number of your allies. If you succeed you and your allies in sight may take 10 on all attack and defence rolls. If you fail you have to spend a new force point to activate the power.

Dark Rage [DARK]
You channel your rage and hatred through your lightsaber. Activating Dark Rage is a swift action. If you succeed on a DC 15 Use the Force check, you do an extra 1d6 damage; DC 20 check 2d6 extra damage; DC 25 check 3d6 extra damage; DC 30 check 4d6 extra damage.

Drain Force [DARK]
You leech the Force of an opponent. You make a Use the Force check opposed to the target's Fortitude check. If you succeed, you gain 1d4 extra force points and your foe loses the same amount of force points. Using Drain Force is a standard action. You do not spend a force point if you succeed on the check.

Drain Life [DARK]
You leech the life of an opponent. You make a Use the Force check opposed to the target's Fortitude check. If you succeed, you heal 2d6 hit points and your foe gains the same amount of stamina loss. Using Drain Life is a standard action.

* Death Field [DARK]
Prerequisite: Drain Life, Use the Force as a major skill
You use Drain Life against all opponents in close range (room, corridor, etc). Using Death Field is a full-round action.

Equilibrium [LIGHT]
Bringing yourself in a state of mental balance, you may ignore all attempts at manipulating your mind. Gaining equilibrium takes a full-round action and a Use the Force check against DC 20. When used in combat, it lasts until the end of the encounter.

Farseeing
Farseeing requires a meditative state and cannot be used in combat. If you succeed in a DC 20 Use the Force check, you gain a vague momentary impression of events happening around a particular being in some distant place. You have to know or have met this creature before. If you succeed in a DC25 check, you can catch a glimpse of the target's past or future.

Fear [DARK]
You summon the power of the dark side to instill fear in an enemy in close range (room, corridor, etc). If you succeed in an opposed Use the Force check versus the target's Willpower check, you paralyze your target with fear, rendering it immobile (but not helpless). Using Fear is a standard action. Each round, as a swift action, you have to make another check to maintain your fearsome aura. You do not have to use another force point, unless you fail your Use the Force check.

* Aura of Menace [DARK]
Prerequisite: Fear, Use the Force as a major skill
You can use Fear against all opponents in close range.

Grip [DARK]
You grip your opponent with the force. If you succeed in a Use the Force check versus your target's Fortitude check, you grip your foe, rendering it immobile (but not helpless), slowly inflicting choking damage (2d6 hit points per round). Using Grip is a standard action. Each round, as a swift action, you have to make a new check to maintain your grip. You do not have to use another force point, unless you fail your Use the Force check.

* Crush [DARK]
Prerequisite: Grip, Use the Force as a major skill
When gripping an opponent you crush his lungs, doing 4d6 hit points per round damage instead of 2d6. Using Crush is a full-round action and it takes a move action to maintain the power.

Haze
You blur the outline of yourself and your allies, making you harder to notice. This does not render you invisible, however. Using Haze is a full-round action. You make a Use the Force check against DC 15 + the number of allies in your sight. If you succeed, you and your allies gain a +10 bonus on Stealth checks.

EQUIPMENT

See KOTOR sourcebook.

Thanks Sharasvar!

I might well grab / modify some of that (especially the skills, GREAT idea, will speed up the character creation process too), but I'll ask you specifically every time I do intend to use any of the stuff above when writing my rules.

I will, of course, also point out and credit your rules if there are any I use without altering.

Cheers for taking the time to reply to this, its really helpful stuff

I've quite enjoyed Dynamic roleplay when played (Pen, Paper, Dice) and well to see it incorporated elsewhere would be great!

If it ever occurs, count me in!

Yup we all still give you support LW!

I'll be honest in saying I've put this on hold, at least for the time being until I complete Dark Secrets. Its certainly not forgotten about and it'll be something I'll be putting a lot of time into once I've finished some other RP's.

There is a high likelihood that I will simply be using a modified version of the rules Sharsvar linked up here (with his permission of course) as so much of it is so similar to what I was planning to do anyway, it seems a little pointless just to re-do it all.

So yeah, this is "on my scope"
