Does this justify me turning my entire army of fanatical semi-Force users into living bombs, whereby setting off a mere dozen of their totally expendable lives should (if your attack is anything to go by) utterly annihilate the temple and everyone inside it?
Given a proper source of combustible materials and oxygen, a Force user using pyrokinesis could light things on fire and launch them all over the place. Of course, you would have to go to all of the trouble of describing that.
Pyrokinesis has been used before in duels. There was the time I burned all of Ahnk's clothes off and he ran away butt naked.... hehehe.
I don't really agree with the whole Sith bomb thing though, and though a power in their own right NPC Force armies should never be abused in such a way in the future to such a degree. Individual characters are closely scrutinized when it comes to their use of power... and they have to work hard to get it. I do not like the idea of them being rolled over by hordes of Force sensitive armies.
Though it would be amusing to watch the Crusade put their soldiers in space suits and shoot them at Imperial warships....
The only people my NPCs have tried to overrun are Sith NPCs, and they're the ones acting on crazy power. My minions die by the hundred yet their apprentices are all apparently teleporting ninja masters. Even the Jedi Order lost hundreds to mere droids at Geonosis, I don't seem to be able to get a foot in the door.
But hey, a few more Sith Bombs and Sith Black Holes and Sith Fireballs and that shouldn't be a problem any more ;) .
First of all, I've read in quite a few posts that a lot of Sith Apprentices have been dying in droves. Silk's killed over a handful, Dolash's troops have similarly killed many NPCs. Just as you've stated my NPC Apprentices dying in groups, so to have I stated your NPCs dying likewise.
The Force Storm created is a possible power to be used, and as a Sith Master I have access to such a power - though I assumed members of the community would recognize my ability to keep things realistic, and not to treat it as a common occurance (hence my deciding to use it on a bunch of your NPCs, as opposed to dropping the storm into the center of your command ship), and I'm not impressed that members would simply shrug off my 2000+ word post as something silly. Not only has the power drained Vicirus, to the point of needing help to walk to his bed which is but a matter of meters away, but I have also stated that he will need considerable time to recover.
Just because I haven't gone out Force powers blazing in the past, doesn't mean I'm going to hold back when my little gathering is against a full blown army.
You don't like it? Tough; I didn't like being invaded.
As for the NPCs; to whom are you refering to? Has there been a post I'm not aware of, where someone has used a Force bomb with an NPC?
Though I certainly have no intent of igniting an OOC fight over the content of the latest rounds of posts (although come on, Kraken, it's beyond reason), I would like to say that this line is a poor way to approach this thread.
People don't respect Force users and their activities primarily because we're seen as ineffective and bickering, and the Force is seen as a much-abused tool to godmode with. True, there was a time when fleeting was just as bad, and to this day it still leads to big fights and issues, but at the very least with fleet fighting there is some concreteness to the capabilites of those involved and things actually get sorted/resolved. Force fights are inherently indecisive because people enter them with the intent to be intractible and stubborn - no one ever admits to losing a lightsaber duel, or being out-powered, unless a clear rank discrepency exists and the fight is prolonged.
As such, for the sake of the reputations of our respective organizations, we should at least try to take this battle seriously and treat it with fairness and a sense of give and take. If we just continue the one-upmanship of "Who's got the bigger Force", it'll only prove how irrelevant we really are.
You didn't like getting invaded? Tough. I don't like how the Force is marginalized. If we do this right, we can help fix this perception.
And come on, how many times have the Sith invaded Naboo? This is only fair! :D
Hm. While I'm only an apprentice, here was my take on the Kraken thing...
Usually, I would agree that it is far beyond the power of a Knight to be able to do something like this. HOWEVER, in this case I see several differences from the norm: 1) Necros had absorbed the power of the dying into himself, becoming the focal point for a lot of potential Force energy. I see this as similar to Dorsk 81 in Darksaber. 2) In doing what he does, Necros causes his own death. Again, the similarities to Dorsk 81 are remarkable - in Darksaber, Dorsk 81 (a recently ascended Jedi Knight) is able to use the Force to throw 17 Star Destroyers from one end of a solar system to the other. That's a lot more power than Necros showed here, and Necros was a seasoned Knight.
So, considering that, I have no problem with Necros's post. Just my two cents.
