Force Sensitive Archive

I agree that this belongs on Jedi forum, and also agree that you are likely to have gotten criticism there. Sadly the Jedi forums are bombarded by lots of non-Jedi posts, and people are quick to jump on "aspiring jedi". Your is a reasonable question though.

The second template you listed is more powerful in one on one combat, but if you like powers, you should do it, I think it's cool, and has some great stuff like cloak. I would question the xxx4 LS choice....why? Is it because you want the crafting advantage? Well that's understandable, but if so, then get it, craft some sabers and drop it for a more useful line, like x4xx. Armor break and powerhit are great. If I were going to do a powers template, I wouldn't use a saber at all. Primary advantage of Powers, is range, if you are trying to use a saber, you lose that advantage, and if you don't have many saber skills, it's not very effective, even if you manage to put together a good saber post-CU. I would use a rifle, and if you can afford it, get some speed tapes. With +50 in speed from tapes, +12 in FS speed, and +20 in Force Speed, you have some decent speed, and a "force free" source of damage that you can use from distance while throwing lighting and choke. You could use the extra points for Master Enhancer, or for xx4x Defender.

My Powers Template (if I had one): Master Powers, Master Enhancer, 4100Healer, Novice Defender.

ps. force armor DOES NOT replace Master Defender, yes, you end up with similar innate armor, but you pay for that protection with force, and you lose Improved force aura, valor, and lots of Melee/Ranged Defense, not to mention Avoid Incap.
