Can we get subdual mode?
Ideally as a text command like /sub that toggles it on or off, all it should do is reduce an enemy to 1hp and put them on the ground for I would say 30 seconds or five rounds, instead of killing them at 0 hp.
I did Subdual mode on another server once and it turned into a bunch of sparring matches. 
I find it’s a little confusing that people would be able to spar with something like a lightsaber. Maybe if our animations were customizable we could get away with it, but it just looks weird to me.
Totally not opposed to the idea. Just my thoughts right now
There is actually a canonical force power to make lightsabers not kill people.
But it is also partially a suspension of disbelief, people also can just respawn from a lightsaber wound with no long term effects.
On another server there is a subdual mode that works only with specific weapons, mostly bludgeoning weapons. So we could have a subdual mode that works specifically with batons, martial arts, and such which would also give those weapons a nice little niche. Like the point of using a baton over a bladed weapon or lightsaber is to disable someone anyway, right?
And to make sparring a thing, in addition to the subdual mode there could be an arena area where you can just respawn full health in the arena. Stylize it as a virtual reality simulation for training.
