[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 2571711, member: 14159"] Star Wars is about the villains losing, at least eventually. It is a setting about heroes and villains, good vs. evil, the bad guys will lose eventually, and you can be sure that no LFL approved Star Wars product will be about bad guys getting to win in the end. Also, there already are core classes for Dark Jedi, it's called Jedi classes. Just because you have Dark Side points doesn't mean you deserve a new core class. Especially since characters start with 0 DSP and have to have them granted for atrocities and violations they perform. Also, Sith characters usually don't begin as Sith, they are trained and inducted into the order from other walks of life typically, typically a Fallen Jedi (since exiled and fallen Jedi founded the Sith Empire and later the Sith Order). Even Darth Maul, raised almost from infancy to be a Sith Lord, was first taught how to be a warrior first, then and only after he was taught to fight (well enough to survive for years on a planet full of hostile native life) was he given any instruction in how to use the Force. If you really want a Sith core class, do what they did in the OCR rules before they had any Prestige Classes, just use Jedi classes. The original write-ups before the Dark Side Sourcebook introduced Sith prestige classes for Palpatine was Noble 3/Jedi Consular 17, and Darth Vader was a Fringer 1/Jedi Guardian 16. In the end, the basic skill set of a Jedi and Sith, especially from a game-mechanic standpoint, is quite similar, they both are members of a force-using warrior order, with a lore-oriented aspect, who master the use of lightsabers.
