- Due to the timing of my attacks, if Maro is reacting after the sound of the blaster firing, he would be very hard pressed to get a defense up in time to prevent the pull, as the timing of the pull is fractions of a second after the blaster fires.
It would be difficult to say that Maro wasn't expecting Mors to do something that'd cause this group of Jedi (The Sith's mortal enemies, and constant gateway into combat) to attack. If I was in his shoes, I'd have my guard up more than usual, so I'd have to argue that. If Maro is face to face with people he knows to be ready to fight him, he'd be ready to defend himself. Creating plans in his head before the attack even occurred. - I'm not entirely sure a kinetic shield would prevent Maro from being affected by the force pull, seeing as a pull, unlike a push, would originate on Maro, as opposed to a push which would originate from Kalii.
From what I've read, the force pull has been reverted using a deflect before, while it never directly happens in the canon, there are a few instances in legends and I know this forum is trying to keep with the Canon, but I think the existence of force deflect as an ability and not its applications should be enough for it to be valid. It's also a viable defense for any kinetic attack in star wars d20 RPGs (I'm not too familiar with those, but I have played a little bit. Haven't had to use force deflect though.) Also, as I understand it, a pull originates through invisible 'tendrils' in the force, not directly manipulating someone's physical form.
- So due to the new rules, Kalii would have had to drop hiding her presence in order to shield against the mental attack, likewise, in order to launch her force pull she would have to drop the mental shielding, which wouldnt be much of a problem because by that time Sov’s character would be hit by Cassus force push, negating his mental attack if he was still maintaining it.
4. Even if the shield worked to prevent the force pull, i do not believe it would absorb the energy of the pull for Maro to utilize at will.Force deflect's
nature is to do that, it takes in the energy, and deflects it back at the attacker. It's used for both force kinetics, and blaster energy. Jedi and Sith have used to deflect, and reflect force lightning which I'm sure we can agree is more powerful than a kinetic attack.
5. So though i feel this would be covered by the previous point, i would like to point out that Maro wouldnt be able to just flick the energy back and immediately turn it into a force push. Even if he was able to absorb the energy with the shield he just summoned, he would then have to focus again to launch a force push.
Yeah, these two posts are pretty similar. The way the ability works is pretty quick. She might have a split second to take a footstep before he'd send it back, but I doubt she'd have enough time to close the gap, seeing as she's pulling him towards her to cover said gap, yaknow?
6. I would say the shots are unlikely to hit, but im sure you already know that
Yeah, pretty much playing off the fact that Maro would see an opportunity and utilize it. Her back was turned so he sort of let loose some shots in hopes that they might land.
As another note, I want to be flexible in my combat rps so that both fighters get their hits in, my goal isn't to dispute and argue attacks for the sake of arguing, while I'm new to this site, I've had my share of combat rp in other communities where that sort of constructive criticism doesn't exist and it's dreadful. So please, if you have any more questions or concerns, let's sort those out or debate them. I'm really open to most things!
