[QUOTE="Warchild, post: 36597, member: 769"] [b]hmmm.[/b] Well i'n not famaliar with WOT, but having Force-users and Wizards/sorcerers is not real compatible. Force powers at their maximum ranks don't come close the power and/or levels of effect that standard D&D spells that achieve. Force powers that do damage top out around 4 or maybe 6d6 damage at best. But then you can advance in a force power quicker than wizards do. 1st level jedis can have 4 ranks in a force power and if are lucky enough to have an 18 stat could have a +8 to their skill roll at 1st level, and if they roll well could get a higher effect than a wizard casting a spell at 1st level could hope for. But after a handful of levels, a wizard would make the force user look terribly bad, both in damage spells and in the sheer number of different spells they could cast, compared the the relatively small number of force skills. So it would depend on whether or not you want the "magic" on the different planes to have different power levels, from a story point of view. Force users would be more effective (maybe not much so however) at early levels, but wizards would quickly leave them behind at medium and high levels. [/QUOTE]
