Hey guys, I figured I'd create a thread were we could discuss custom special abilities or Force Powers as we create them to get feedback on wording, cost, effect etc. I'll start For instance right now I'm trying to figure out the wording and name of an ability similar to the Epic Galen Marek's Unleashed. Though instead of using Force Powers 2xs, I want it to a Force Power and an Attack. Jedi Combatant (This Character may use One Force Power that Replaces Attacks and may still make one attack on his/her turn. No other ability or Commander Effect may add to the number of attacks granted by this ability.) I'm trying to replicate the use of the Force and Lightsaber combat intertwined. Like when Obi-Wan Force Pushes away Battle Droids moves and then attacks another group. It isn't perfect and I feel like the wording is just wrong...I added the restriction so they can't get Twin or use Master Yoda's CE SPECIFICALLY for that attack...I still think my wording is sloppy. and I'm really not happy with the name. Thoughts? And if you have your own Force Power or special ability that you'd like discussed feel free to post!

I don't think your wording does what you want it to. Yoda's CE doesn't add to the number of attacks granted by that ability - it grants its own separate attack. How about this:
Jedi Combatant - Immediately after using a Force Power that replaces attacks, this character may make one attack. If this character uses this ability, the character may make only one attack this turn.
As for a name, how about Force Enhanced Combat.

As for a name, how about Force Enhanced Combat. You are right. I added the part about extra attacks as I was writing the post (it isn't in my initial version but as I was writting I randomly thought of Master Yoda,) and you are right I worded it wrong in saying add for that specific CE. The way you have it is much more elegant thank you. Another thing I've been thinking about is the timing of how I want things to work...in a way I almost want to break combat rules, let you use a Force Power, move, then attack or essentially let you do it in any order but you can do those 3 things. I don't think it would work out in the end like that and making them happen right after each other is probably just easier and cleaner. I like Force Enhanced Combat...I was thinking something like Force User Combat, or Force User Fighting, but I think I like Force Enhanced better.

You could make the extra attack and end of turn effect instead of an immediate effect. If the character has Mobile Attack, then you would get your intended effect.
Jedi Combatant - If this character uses a Force Power that replaces attacks, this character may make one attack at the end of its turn. If this character uses this ability, the character may make only one attack this turn.
They could move, use a Force Power, use Mobile to finish their move. Then at the end of the turn get a bonus attack.
