[QUOTE="The_Gneech, post: 2247279, member: 6779"] It does cause a brief moment of blinking at first, but it's extremely important from a game balance perspective. If the Jedi characters got all of their Force powers [i]plus[/i] a bucket of VP on the side, then other classes would be completely superfluous. Players would feel punished for playing a Soldier (for instance) if a Jedi Guardian got all of their combat abilities plus the Force as well without some kind of tradeoff. Think of VP as "story favor points" and it makes a little more sense ... the Soldier's story favor is that he can wade into combat and take a ton of punishment, while the Jedi's story favor is that he can toss battledroids around the room with his mind. ;) -TG :cool: [/QUOTE]
