I strongly believe that you should make a mechanic that allows you to reflect lightning instead of making it so you take the full damn damage. Example: Windu reflecting Palpatines force lightning back on him. For balancing purpose I have brought a few ideas
Force lightning: you can reflect all of it when blocking
Lightning stream: you can reflect half of it but take the other half of damage example let’s say it does 24 damage, have you reflect 12 damage on the force user and then have you take 12 of the damage.
Lightning Strike: you take 75% of the damage but can only reflect 25 of it back.
Keep in mind this is only when blocking, I feel like it’s another alternative to nerf force lightning.
