[QUOTE="Psion, post: 243049, member: 172"] [b]Re: Expecting More[/b] Since I am at work right now, I'll have to trust you... something I am at ill ease of doing. I'll give you two: 1) The rules for the character classes, Jedi included, are MUCH better than the prior version. 2) The rules for armor are likewise much better. Why the emphasis on "example"? At any rate, no, I do not find the sample characters to be a telling fault in the product. For the purposes of making characters and playing the game, the rules work fine. Like I said, I would change Yoda if I ever had a reason to use those stats (which I don't forsee.) But I, like you, have the benefit of having seen the movie. The authors of the RCRB didn't, at the time. Further, you assert that Dooku could "easily" handled Yoda. Where the hell do you get that from? Did you not notice the contrast of light side versus dark side force points at that level? Sorry, I can see some of your points, but the rest are rather out there and rely on the onlooker having an incomplete picture of how the system works. Which makes me wonder: have YOU ever played by the RCRB? (Or the basic book for that matter, as force points are essentially unchanged between the two.) Not so hasty. I would change the "threshold" to use the ability... the fundamental idea still works IMO. Likewise you say Yoda proves the classes are wrong, where I just think Yoda proves Yoda is wrong. I see molehill problems. You see mountains. Which is why you are incorrect. Yoda doesn't proves classes are wrong. Yoda proves Yoda is wrong. 1) "Is referred to"? That is a perspective from the point of view of characters in the movies. 2) "Shown". There is nothing that was shown that wouldn't be handled by shifting skill points to battlemind and enhance ability and the way that force points work. Poor you. But dare I say you are getting hung up on some rather easily surmounted snags in an otherwise outstanding set of rules? (Aside from which, the counselor/guardian dichotomy was in the first book... if you knew that and had a problem with it, and you bought the next book anyways without seeing if it had changed, you have nobody to blame but yourself.)
