Was it just me or did all the builds get a couple of Force Training feats too many? And at the wrong levels? The Fallen Jedi has 6 Force Trainings by level 7!

Also the article seems to assume that your seventh level can be in the Prestige class. Did I miss the memo on this?

The levels are a little off, but they are a good start to building the basic concept. It's a good article, dispite a couple little errors.

it was good for fluff, the crunch was somewhat inaccurate, and they were all things i figured out before, but still not too bad.

No, you still have to have at least 7 lvls before you take a prestige class. maybe the article had a typo, idk.

Overall, I liked it. However, I have a few problems with it...

1)The implication that taking the Jedi class means Jedi-like training. I could embellish on class doesn't equal concept, but I don't think I need to.

2) On all the paths, it pretty much says that falling to the Dark Side is a completion of the corruption destiny. Is that right?

#1 I agree with you


#2 It's been said in the core book that "additionally, a character's destiny may be to allow herself/himself to be corrupted by the dark side; her fall into darkness becomes the path to achieving this destiny"
so yes, it's correct

Useless, useless, useless.

Seriously, I am finding a lot of these articles (Behind the Threat and Power Beyond Belief) to be patronising and insulting.

We don't need to be told this stuff. We can do it ourselves. Maybe if people spent a bit less time having urinating contests over every little thing and a bit more time actually putting their minds towards making interesting NPCs and scenarios, and maybe actually collaberating instead of competing, then the writers could give us something worth having.


Planet Hoppers was good. I liked that, and I'd actually have a use for that, but being told how to make Sith is just meaningless to me.
More planets, less "NPC Design for Dummies".

True, I just think it would be better if the community handled "training the newbies" instead of WotC.
That would free up WotC to make articles that everyone (veterans and newbies alike) can use.

Haha go on then. I think we'll take that as you Volunteering :P

And by that I mean it would be a great idea.
