OK, here goes. I love being a Master Ranger, but am curious about Jedi. How far can I go into Jedi with 110 SP?
Will I still be able to take down creatures and the like, or will Master Pistoleer be better? Will I need to retain novice Medic, or can I get some form of force heal? I only ask here because I respect this communty and every time I open the door to the Jedi forum alk I hear is Bitching and Complaining and Whining!
It'd be great to play the most respected profession in the game (MR of course!) and the most respected profession of the movies (Jedi)...

go to this website. Its a character builder, including the jedi powers. You should be able to figure what kind of template you would like. Take into consideration that you will need 24 pts for the fs powers in order to get padawan (so, 6 full branches of 4 in each ). Hope that helps

I did some looking into this awhile back. You can basically go 4004 lightsaber(or 0404, 0044) and still have enough skill points left over to, for example, go 4001 defender or 4000 healing plus novice in another Jedi profession.
Basically you have just enough skill points(while still keeping master ranger) to substitute a regular elite combat profession with a lightsaber. But, you are limited enough in skill points that outside of not having to worry about resists, your effectiveness in PvE would be about equal to just having an elite profession. You'd have a bit more power, but less defense because of no armor.
Really, it is a toss up. If you'd dig the Master Ranger/Jedi combo it is certainly viable for pure PvE stuff, but you won't be super powered with that few skill points. Also, you'll have to contend with visability and bounty hunters.

Regarding visibility and BH, I was under the impression that in order to make the BH boards, you first needed to hit Jedi Knight.
I love Master Ranger above all, so I'm only doing this quests to have Jedi substitute my current combat profession (TKM). I think it will be awesome for PvE, specially since TKM only get Kinetic dmg, and you know how those freaking Peko Peko albatross have 100% kinetic resist as well as other creatures/NPCs.
Anybody that has a Jedi would be so kind as to enlighten us with the requirement to be a Knight in order to appear on the BH boards?
Thanks.

My friend Jedis have definately been on the boards before Jedi Knight level. You do need a lightsaber and/or force powers first, though. Having a lightsaber and/or Jedi robes equipped when another player walks by seems to be enough to gain you visibility.

Ok, just visited the Jedi profession forum to do a little research, and from what I read in the Jedi Revamp FAQ, there seems to be NO limitation on Jedi rank before you can appear on the BH terminals.
This isn't disheartening in any way though, as apparently you need to use your lightsaber or power in front of other people or NPCs to gain visibility... didn't say anything about creatures

That's the way I am thinking as well. Eheast would become a jedi, with the new character (perhaps an Ithorian, when JTL comes out) as my Master Ranger/Rifleman...
