...if there's still any confusion, hopefully this clears it up. Thanks EL
Just wanted to make sure it made it to this page...
Anyway, good to know we have some votes. SF and Esteemed are the only ones I saw.

Although Khell's movement is greater, his firepower/damage soak is no where near that of Nat's.

So, Esteemed Leader is making the rules now?
No, but he summarized the debate nicely and put it in terms that beared repeating. My no TK ruling earlier kinda said this, but didn't spell it out too clearly.
And Chi is perfectly acceptable. There's been a bunch of talk about it as possible magic-or-science, but it's entirely allowed.

Hehe...yes and no. You just put the ruling into practical and clear terms. Thanks though. I'll stop posting in here now. We've taken up the majority of a page, and it should be for battle and votes.
Little is still better than none.
I have more posts in here than anyone else...

Confused now...So, Remotely forming spikes out of the shield and altering their trajectories = not allowed. Pretty much everything else = allowed (unless it's dealt with in the character notes). That would include the chi blasts. KVD has a chi-guy too (Ryu) and he was fine too.
Here. The shield spikes:
See, they never leave the shield. My point is that Grail could form them on any surface of the shield, not just on the bottom, turning it into an offensive as well as defensive option. Basically, he gets close, suddenly he's skewered on spikes growing out of my shield.
Now, the redirection. He said he could redirect my blasts. I amde two counters: one, the blasts are too large to be fully blocked by the thin lightsaber; two, Grail can change the chi stream before it hits it's target, meaning he could move it around the blade.
Note that the chi blast is still coming from his hand, which means he still holds a connection to it.
Those two things are what people are claiming are TK and against the rules.
