[QUOTE="Owen K.C. Stephens, post: 3242543, member: 3190"] Except, of course, when a whole bunch were killed by mooks. The battle droids killed many during the opening battle of the Clone Wars. Clone Troopers killed numerous Jedi after Order 66. Jango Fett fought Obi-Wan to a standstill. General Grievous killed a bunch of Jedi when THEY outnumbered HIM. Of course many (though not all) of those battles were either cases of massive outnumbering forces, suprrise, or fights with legendary characters. But the point is, there's no reason to beleive an 8th level soldier isn't just as useful as an 8th level jedi, because the characters on the screen don't have floating level markers above them. Obi-Wan was a great duelist, but a poodu fighter pilot. Why didn't he take more skill in starfighter combat? Because he wanted more Jedi related powers. Han Solo, on the other hand, can fly like no one's business, fast-talk his way in and out of trouble without the Jedi Mind Trick, and seduce a princess. Balance doesn't mean everything a Jedi can do everyone else can too. Balance means there are multiple ways to be effective, and Jedi are best at some, but other characters have their own advantages and areas of strength as well. Owen K.C. Stephens d20 Triggerman Need better cheap magic options? [URL=http://enworld.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=7708&]Get [B]Loot 4 Less II: Rods, Staves and Wands[/B][/URL] [/QUOTE]
