If Valara picks up a Dark Side point, poor Set'll be jealous. It may make him crabby . . .

I don't think Set'll have anything to worry about.
Well, I don't think it fits her character (at least as written by WotC), and I don't think the majority of average people have any DSPs. And DSPs are major no matter how many you have.
"Once you start along the Dark Path, forever will it dominate your destiny."
Valara, it seems to me, is trying to learn the Jedi Code from just the Jedi Code. She would take a very pure, literal, idealistic approach to the Code. If anything, she would be less likely to have any DSPs at this point, because she isn't trying to "interpret" the Code. When she meets the Jedi, they aren't what she expected... Remember Obi-wan, Qui-Gon and Jedi Counsel in Ep. I... Who they acted, and how they treated each other... Rather haughty know-it-alls, eh? That's what they mean by disillusioned.
It like the immigrants who see America as a land of opportuny, but when they get here can only get a minimum wage job.
Or... to use current events as an example... Think about someone who lived the vast majority of their life on an isolated island. They come upon a copy of the Torah (or the Koran, or the Bible). The read the book through, and think it has great ideas. So they model their lives after these writings. Now, a boat comes and they get the opportunity to leave. They decide that the first place they want to go to is Jerusalem, where this book originated, and a majority of its followers reside. What would that person think if he went there right now.
In other words, unless you can give me a much better reason, no. I see Valara as more Jedi than the Jedi, because she hasn't had much contact with the galaxy, and is setting her Role-models on a very high pedestal.
If anything, she would be the strictest about staying away from the Dark Side, because she doesn't know better.

I bow to your interpretation, it makes more sense then mine does. Drat, a white knight. Oh well, should prove interesting either way.

Now I suspect that sooner or later, you will realize that these Jedi aren't everything you expected them to be. How you react to that is up to you.

oh, thats gospel, she is pretty shocked that between 4 "Jedi" they could not heal Sia-Lan, or at least think to do that. Too her that was th first thing that came to mind.
Sia-Lan Wezz

I'm partially at fault for that as a player. I was mistakenly under the impression that I could heal only VP/WP with my abilities. I know Sia-Lan is not a beginning character, but she rather feels like one to me.
Part of the problem, is that I seldom have my book handy when I post...
I'll try to be better!

Jack I was going to check this last night but I ended up getting my Godlike book in and reading that instead... anyway about Force Mind; I can't remember how many people can I effect and what is the vitality cost. I am pretty sure that right now I can give 3 people a +1 bonus to one skill or to their attack rolls or saving throws, etc. and that it is going to cost me 3 vitality and that it would last 3 rounds ...I just can't remember for sure and what to check before I do it.

Force mind 2 vitality points, in addition 1 vitality point must be spent for eveyone affected. All those affected gain a +2 force bonus to the ONE ability score of your choosing. It lasts for you level in rounds. You cannot be one of the targets.

It has to be used for an attribute like strength, or dexterity or constitution though, from my understanding of the way the rule reads.
