[QUOTE="ledded, post: 1277623, member: 12744"] Actually, in an example given in an aritcle either on WotC webstie or Star Wars Gamer magazine, the game designers used that instance in precisely how good jedi can accumulate dark side points, leaving no doubt that he did receive them. And those weren't his only ones, as in the continuing fiction he often struggled with falling to the dark side. Darn emotional teenagers... they get half grown up, get moody, and start wearing all black and complaining that no one let's 'em do what they want. Well, I dont know exactly all the conditions or anything like that, but he did fend them off for a little bit while they were shooting at him, correct? He asked for surrender/told them they were under arrest. They shot at him, and he had really no choice but to eliminate the threat or be killed, correct? Diplomacy is a bit hard when blaster bolts are already flying, right? So should he get the DSP? Well, it's GM's call, but I would probably say yes if his tone is played anything like the story made it sound. The ends do not always justify the means. It sounded like he had no compunction whatsoever about killing those officers in a ruthless manner, so I say DSP. Heck, it aint the end of the world or anything. The problem with role-playing a jedi is that the class is a class of extremes, supposedly because of their closeness or sensitivity to the force or whatever. So a "good" jedi is usually very good, a "bad" one very bad. There are several in the movies and the books that walk the grey areas, but do so with great difficulty. Zybor sounds like he is going to end up being one of those. But for what it's worth, I would have done the same thing he did with any star wars character. [/QUOTE]
