[QUOTE="The_Gneech, post: 2209226, member: 6779"] Well, my Jedi Guardian has plenty of personality, but that's not something that game mechanics can make or break, and it's not a game balance issue either. (He's a narcissicistic Farghul who spent thirty years in carbon freeze, the former Padawan of Mace Windu shoved rather abruptly into the Rebellion era and having a lot of culture shock issues. Even in a game session where there's no combat at all, he's still a lot of fun to play.) FWIW, players will tend to put ranks on skills that get checked a lot, that's just the way they are. Keep asking for Knowledge (Jedi Lore) checks often enough, and tsk, tsk when they don't succeed, and you'll be amazed at how quickly they start putting ranks there. :) Having not all Jedi be good at all Jedi things, is a major way of keeping them from all being the same super-character. I hope your Tales of the Jedi game is all-Jedi, or the non-Jedi characters are getting seriously shafted. :uhoh: -The Gneech :cool: [/QUOTE]
