[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 5209361, member: 14159"] Spin it around. What if it was a 20th level Jedi Master PC (since Palpatine is supposed to be 20th level, personally I figure he's one of the half-dozen characters that could honestly be epic level in Star Wars), and he was being confronted while alone by four Sith Lords? If there was a way for one character to pose a imminent mortal threat to four attackers, a PC would want to do it, and could look at this scene as a precedent. Not to mention what if it was a Dark Side campaign, WotC even made a whole sourcebook about that in 2001, with encouragements to play darksiders. A PC Sith Lord sure as heck would want to be able to take on 4 Jedi Masters at once if he had to. I'm not asking for it to be likely, but that it can't be done without GM handwaving and plot fiat bugs me, especially since Star Wars RPGs have been traditionally good at emulating every detail of what happens canonically (even if some things would be unlikely). The old D6 RPG even made a point of including with every sourcebook for every new comic series or novel (which for several years they produced a new companion sourcebook for every single novel or comic plot arc) new force powers for everything force users did, often quoting in the description word-for-word the passage in the book as flavor text.
