[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 5424317, member: 54629"] Where'd you get the bolded bit from? There's nothing like that in Saga. On the subject of it taking a lot longer, though, there were some fun optional rules published in a Jedi Counseling article whereby you could gain a random number of DSPs per evil act. For my campaign, I've tried to make things a bit more interesting by doing the following: 1) For starters, you can't get rid of your last DSP merely by spending a FP to atone. You've got to commit a truly selfless, heroic act in order to become "pure" again. 2) Depending on the situation, I tempt my players with free d20 rerolls and maxed out FP values at the cost of a DSP. My plan is that as they accrue DSPs, eventually I'll start offering those power-ups at the cost of [I]two[/I] DSPs, and then eventually I'll stop offering them altogether ... but at the same time, I'll start offering free uses of [I]dark rage[/I] and [I]hatred[/I] and Force powers like that. The idea is to represent, on the one hand, that the dark side is like a drug: when you first start using it, you can get a nice high, but once you become addicted, you've got to use more and more to get the same effect, and on the other hand that once you become steeped in the dark side, you can "unlock" various dark side abilities. Personally, I think Anakin's fall is rather pathetic. He's such a lousy character in the prequels that he really hasn't got very far to fall to begin with. But anyway ... [/QUOTE]
