Theres this idea of Powers being a mind trick. And Powers already has Cloak which is a form of illusion. So could we get the ability to get another cloak like skill in the Master Powers box that goes a little further? Like in the Star Wars books further down Lukes journey Luke can impose force illusions to make himself look different like other beings.


Whats being proposed is an Illusion ability where we can look like a different character in the game like an NPC be that a nuna or a storm trooper. Even in name. So you find you need to get across Theed while a rebel? Hmmm no problem. Knock out and hide in the corner the NPC Imperial you wish to look like. Then assume his looks using /forceIllusion and be on your way. Imperials will think your the captain whatever with his name in place over your head. Have like a quarter of the force cost cloak does since your use it to mingle in groups. Bounty Hunter droids can still bio signiture you, but your name will be changed to the NPC while your Illusion is in place. Make it so you have to be like 2 m of your target to get their looks. You can also go hunting like this. Get a Bol Illusion in place and go attacking bols nests. A BH comes by and unless he has his droid personally bio sig you, you could be any of the Bols out wandering near the nest. This would counter the "/target name" and "/follow name" problems currently in place.


If too powerful then make this Master Powers skill require the Master Enhancer stasis to freeze your illusion target or something. Sorta dedicated skills. Like how bounty hunter used to be. Remember when Bounty Hunter required both master marksman and master scout?


What do you think of this idea? I hate nerfing. Lets add more content and skills instead as a counter.

How can you say you've lived life if you've never danced?
Well I do remember Han having a one piece suit made out of carbonite but it weighed a ton. Still it didnt require any ironing and was very wear resistant.
Thanks SOE! The CU and NGE gave me my life back. Thanks! Bitterness is the taste of love lost, a tear of acid that burns the heart.
Long gone, in sorrow of song. Stand I make to deliver hope with twisted temporal past, for the ripples in time distort what affects when. Prowlies a must see Clicky!
As a dreamer I sing to the sea and imagine the possibilities and potential this game could free, but when I get home a sad sight there be. A lost fool, for once was is gone, what could've been to never be, and the angel of my heart to be forgotten, locked away by the key of SOE.
