So.

In a game against my brutha (and brother) last night, he went to block an attack from General Windu with his Emperor Fel and just before he rolled the dice to Lightsaber Block/Cortosis Gauntlet, I said, 'Well, I'm just gonna Force Absorb that puppy', which then brought up the interesting situation. He hadn't thought about it, and I commented that now he could not do the block and pull out of using his last Force Point just to be wasted... but was it right to? In the end we decided that he was just about to roll and that, I guess, means that he had declared his intention to block so I could absorb it etc... so, what is the DCI (or, at least, official) way of dealing with this conundrum?

Add to that this one, if you will. We used to play hand-off-the-piece-is-a-move rule, until I queried it here by bringing up the question of ettiquete (spellig?) and it was roughly suggested that 'I (being anyone) want my opponent to bring their best game, so I don't mind if they review there moves, or maybe take one back' etc. But, how much is too much? 'Oh - I won't do that - can I take it back?' after rolling the die on an attack and missing is perhaps clearer (?), but what about 'oh, I should have moved him first so I could keep the door open, can I swap them around?' or 'Oh! You can see me from there! Can I move that again?'

Those kind of things, y'know.

In my opinion, you should be allowed to change your mind on making an attack or movement as long as you do so before you take the next action or roll for your attack or something. So if you move somewhere, take your hand off the piece, then change your mind before you do anything else or declare an intention to do something else, you can move somewhere else, but if you go somewhere, say you're going to attack someone, then realize their defense is really high and want to go back, you can't.
