Force Combat
The theory here is that it needs to be balanced, simple and effective. There is a predetermined list of Force Powers which can be extended with new player-created Force Powers as approved by the GameMasters. The Force Powers will be split into several tiers which will correspond with Force Manipulation/Force Insight levels.
Additionally you cannot use Force Powers as extensively as before. As a general rule of thumb each and every Force Power is used in one turn and has a cooldown of one turn. This can stack up to four times.
For example:
Turn 1 Force Push
Turn 2 Force Pull
Turn 3 Force Speed
Turn 4 Cooldown
Turn 5 Cooldown
Turn 6 Cooldown
Because three Force Powers were used in a row the character has to wait three turns in a row. Had the character stopped at one then the cooldown is one, if the character uses two in a row he waits two turn. As stated before four turns are the maximum.
The cooldowns may be affected by your mastery of Force Manipulation/Force Insight in the future.

- Only takes one turn to get someone to commit suicide.
Jedi, request permission. I can understand the same thing does not always apply for Sith but that doesn't mean that a humble Acolyte can step up to the Supreme Chancellor and takeover his mind. There is such a thing as willpower after all.
The idea here isn't taking over total control but sharing and combining abilities.
It also comes at the expense of making the caster immobilized. A prime target to take out.
Doesn't make sense, either you are in control or not. How can you make someone use forcepowers or attack the enemy but not pick up a gun and shoot themselves?
And yes, I doubt a Jedi would use it against someones will. But they still could, just because someone is roleplaying a Jedi doesn't mean they would ask permission.
How does it not make sense exactly? Shared control and all that is similar to two people occupying the same room and watching the same TV show.
Like I've said; there is such a thing as willpower involved. A Jedi requesting permission allows them to bypass willpower but it still doesn't mean that you can make someone shoot themselves as, like mentioned before, it is shared control and therefore they would use their own willpower to prevent suicide.
