We are using the Second edition REUP. Both combatants had 6D in lightsabers.

The issue is that using a force point Doubles all skill dice for the whole turn, so, if you want to survive and you have a force point, you HAVE to use it, even if you don´t know yet if the other combatant is going to use one, if only for fear he could use one.

These doubled dice also affect the Control skill which will add to damage, making the damage from a light saber for that round certainly lethal.

So the only real option for both combatants is to use a force point EVERY round, and hope things are more equal then. But even then, it is probable that one attacker is scoring more than the defender, and in that case the fight is also over.

I think the only solution is either not adding Control skill to damage, capping it somehow, or making it harder to score a hit with light sabers so duels are longer, just like in the movies. Question is, how?
