Welcome to Gaia! ::

I mean, short of the fact that it appears in only one video game, a medium known to exaggerate all known items, why else would it be banned?

Hell, an X-wing can destroy an ISD too.

Battle meditation was a move long before KotOR.

Master Arca Jeth Pioneered it. Look i tup.

More importantly, Force Destruction and Force Burst are two completely different skills. Burst sends out a ball of force which seeks an opponent.

Destruction is more like a kamehamea wave. Not to mention, burst is seen only in one video game. Of the two, I'd rather have desctruction because of multiple demonstrations than some weakass burst.

It could be of fire or lightning, its nature is unconfirmed, and unlike burst, it has no "seeker" capability, but can be remote detonated.

nope.

In Jedi power battles, they homed in on opponents.

Hence my point.

Of course, with the force so 'effed up anymore, who's to say it can't?

If you go by the original mechanics of the force, it is plausible to get the "tracking" effect, but the whole "ball of energy" theory is somewhat bogus.

I mean, you could make the ball out of lightning, and then chuck it at your opponent, like Darth Vader did with destruction... but really it's kinda stupid since you can just zap their a** anyhow.

Palpatine also was the only person physically capable of even summoning those storms, and even he admitted once released, he couldn't control them.

He also wrote the book of anger, the book of something, and the book of creating beasts (the third never finished; I'm looking for ferno to write the ending treatise on that)which basically tell how to be the perfect sith.


But considering who were' talking about, its not surprizing. Not as much as Nihilus' being able to perform drain life on an entire planet at once, not just one or two people...

I personally, while these force powers may be accepted by the big GL, have been turning the Force into more than it is. The force isn't some magic object like in "charmed" where if ou create an incantation, it works magically. Its got limits and boundaries that keep getting stretched.

But I don't care. Just be very careful where you tread with the powers. I wouldn't suggest using them in RP, but if you want to put them down for simple education, go for it.

i mean, people don't even use the powers in the RP as is, so we already know that adding more would be idiotic..

Kreia's bend was not a sith code at all. Her belief is that the Force is a God, a cruel one at that, that favors and hates certain users and controls your destiny by the decisions made from the ones all around you.

Help someone, you grow stronger, they grow weaker, etc.

Except nowhere in the code can you draw tha tconclusion.

Because while you "attempt" to explain the parts to prove it, you're actually adding on your own thoughts. Where is choice in any part of the code? Once you hit the third line, your interpretation of the code becomes a bunch of BS.

You have to actually have something in the code that even hints at that third line and beyond being about choice before you can say it is.

Or is that the entire jist of the sith, that she's assuming there's more to the code than there is, and finding out the hard way she was wrong?

The code in itself does not promote destiny nor choice anyhow. So I'm having a hard time figuring out where you're pulling out this metaphysical meaning about a set of guidelines of how you are to use the power granted to you.

The codes are meant to give you understanding of the purpose of your power. In the case of the sith, follow your emotions, because they'll fuel your strength (which for a dark sider is true, unlike the jedi), and with more strength, you'll be able to do more so you'll be more power. If you're more powerful than your rival, you will win, and thus, you well... win!

Now, if you twist the code over on its back and assume that "pre-destination" is your enemy, then it works. but in the SW universe, predestination is pretty unpopular anyhow. Sure "the force may have brought us together", but that doesn't mean you have to do anything about it.
