I'd love to see one of two things happen here.
1. I get to see your Force Bar.
or
2. We only get to seeeach others health bar.

I like the idea of only being able to see the health bar. You can tell how damaged someone is or how tired they are by looking at them, but how can you read their mind?

HAM - Health bar, Action bar, Mind bar.
Allowing someone you're trying to kill to see vital stats, like your action or mind, is just kinda dumb. So if we're gonna lay all of our cards on the table, I'd like to see all of my marks cards as well. Just seems reasonable to me.

Read your mind? This seems too litteral.
I think the stats are a generalization of a players fatigue, after all, you can tell if a person is physically or mentally tired. Maybe the same be said of the force, but im not sure how. I personally dont recall seeing that aspect in the movies.

i think it'd be interesting to implement this but add a skill to powers that costs like 500 or something that allows you to feel into your opponents conscience, feeling their physical and mental fatigue

So your saying its ok to implement it, so long as it doesnt effect jedi? No offence, but typical

I think you're not taking the title of this thread literally. "Are you reading my mind, *pause* bar?" Take out the *pause* if it makes it easier to get the pun in the title. All I'm saying is the Action and Mind bars (see title to connect the dots /understand the use of a comma) can be used (i.e. read) to see what you will and will not be doing.

So let's say mymind bar is nearing zero, my mark now knows I'm noting to be healingwithin the next few seconds. This will alter his next few moves. But if he doesn't know what my current fatigue is, he's left guessing. So if I'm handing over all of this information to a Jedi, I want to see all the information possible I can on him as well. This would include his Force bar.
What ability do I have to see inside his char and view his current Force level? None. But that same question also applies to the HAM bar. Yes, it would give the BH more information about his mark. When a jedi can see my HAM bar, he has 100% of the information about my current condition. When I look at his, I only have 75% of his current condition. IMHO that needs to be changed.
Do I really need to address the movie comment? I don't think I haveenough time to list all thethings that are currentlyin the game that you never see in the movies.

This sound like a fantastic idea...What would make it a little more challenging is you have to be FS to see their force? hows that sound?
