Re: Force Sword Techniques -
Actually, that's a optional rule for the Force-Swordsmanship style requiring a Special Set-Up perk. :-)

My previous write-up of the additional Sith Techniques didn't include Seek and Destroy, but just for the heck of it - this is probably Filch using TK (to steal the Jedi's lightsaber) followed by activating and attacking with the lightsaber. Outside of combat time there's no need to define maneuvers (Player: "I use The Force to lift up his lightsaber so it's facing his torso, then I turn it on." GM: "Ok, we'll do a Quick Contest between your Filch and his Perception, and if you get away with it you can make an attack roll to successfully hit him."), but within combat time this would probably be more like a grapple of the lightsaber followed by some Trakata. |

I think that the force sword in Ultra-Tech is supposed to work like that, though sure. It says very definitely: Quote:
You probably can't Fast-Draw and attack with it on the same turn. You can still attack with a different weapon or take a different maneuver instead so Fast-Draw isn't wasted. Maybe you can parry with it on that first turn, not sure. |

However I thought the OP wanted to use the stats and rules from Ultra-Tech p. 166, by specifying "GURPS force sword" unless I am missing something. |

That said, if you use the description from Ultra-Tech as is you still need to come up with an interpretation of what it actually means. |
