Hi there I belive that I have a an idea to make One Power counter weaving more bookish then the rules allow with out (or at least I think without) changing any other game mechanics. This idea is the abort manuever. I feel the idea simulates counter weaving more accuratly as in the books it seems to be more reactionary while using the rules (having to ready an action) it seems to prepared.

Abort Manuevers (borowed from the mess that is Fuzion)

bassically if you are attacked with the One Power you may sacrifice one of you next attacks in this round or the next to counterspell if you male a weave sight check and so on.

Example
Here we have channeler 1 and channeler 2
*rolls inits*
channeler 1 is going first and channeler 2 goes second

Channeler 1 weaves up a fire ball and launches it at channeler 2 whom makes a weave site check and is able to weave of a fire ball to counter. Although channeler 2 now doesn't have an attack for this round (or one less if channeler 2 had more then 1).

Example2
Same scenario as above but channeler 2 did not abort an action since it wasn't worth it. So channeler 2 now weaver a fire ball at channeler 1...Uh Oh channeler 1 has already used an action this round. This mean that channeler 1's action in the up coming round (or one of them is channeler 1 has more) is sacrificed to abort and counter weave.

Like I said before I feel that aborting has more of the reactionary feel that readying an action doesn't have and simulates what I feel the books portray.

Well I hope that this post has made enough sense to get my point across and jsut isn't random babling.
