Ok, I have just recently been "informed" about the Jedi's ability to render an entire profession useless (no, wait- that's just one more profession to add), and that got me to thinking. In KOTOR, there were these beasts whose name eludes me for the persent that were invulnerable to force attacks and resistant- to an extent- tolightsabers. So why not make these guys tameable? Now, I am not saying include them as a rare spawn. It's about time the CHs got some quest love, isn't it? So I am suggesting a quest that spans the entire system that will ultimately lead to you either being able to tame the static spawn (due to the final quest) or it is given to you by the last quest character. The creature would not be affected by any jedi powers, have light armor, and say at LEAST 50% resist to lightsaber attacks. The Devs could take this one step further and add in an option if you were a BE to take the DNA from the creature. However, to limit who has these, the creature would be a lvl 70 creature at ALL times. From baby to adult, it's level would remain constant. This is just a thought to counter-act the growing Jedi threat to CH, and if this idea has been shared before, my apologies. Once again, this could bring CHs back to PvP as a viable competitor and not just some target to steal our pets to use for their own advantage.

Never played KOTOR, but I do know that in the EU they talked about "Dowsen"(sp?) a creature that could make it's self invisable to the force. Using a scale from this creature a mere human was able to sneak up on and stun the might force sensative Darth Maul( I think it was in the book shadow hunter)
Also if I recall it correctly the UV where able to mask themselves form the force.
So, it would be cool for some uber utlra rare anti jedi pet or items.

I think it would be cool, but I don't see CH's getting anything remotely useful for quite some time.

I agree, I also sense that we are very low on the list but I have faith that we are on the list and will at somepoint get some much needed attention, and this time not just to nerf us.

Yeah i don't think we are gonna get a nerf next either. I think it will be something good but I can't seem to think about the poor DE's when they were told they were getting combat droids. The Devs actually feelthe current combat droidsare useful. I'm afraid we will get this kind of love. For some reason they keep nerfing anything that has to do with pets. The ATST is useless, so is MCH, and combat droids was a joke.

They don't "steal" our pets, they have the ability to make our pets stop attacking at low levels and at master they can actually make our pets turn and attack US.

*your facing down a jedi and call up your pets*
*jedi uses /controlotherguyspets*
*once your own pets have slaughtered you, the jedi tries and finds out your pets transfer command*
*because pets wont store after combat for a full minute he has plenty of time, and transfers your pets to the nearest person who can control them*
*jedi laughs at you, and when you get back, person who got your pets refuses to believe they were yours*
PET STEALING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's not possible, they just make the pets attack us. I think my rancor should be able to take their lightsaber and knock them over the head with it.

....upon reading other peoples posts, apparently jedis cant use our own commands with pets.....but.....still before someone found this out and brought it up how were we supposed to know they couldnt use our own pets commands? and even if they cant use our own commands its still a disgustingly unfair thing to do to CH regardless.

I went over to the Jedi forums and asked, because I was afraid we'd start hypothesizing on what could and couldn't be done and people would start accepting rumors as fact. They can make our pets run away, and they can turn them against us for a limited amount of time.

still pretty bad. turning them against us for even 10 seconds can be absolutly critical in pvp where every second of time to spam specials counts, and it is still taking advantage of our own hard won skill to kill ourselves.
