The Devs have been quoted as saying that the TKA are SUPPOSED to be designed to fight the Jedi. Once I find the quote Ill post it here.

Do you mean the same Devs who have thousands of jedi running around in a time period when there were only FOUR jedi? The Devs have showed us that they could care less about the storyline... they are just out to make a buck. I wouldn't trust a word they say.

i wouldnt be as harsh as to say its to do with the *buck* (or quid in my case) what i would say however is that you try keeping 225,000 people happy plus trying to balance a game of this magnitude and see how many mistakes you make.

the game is designed to evolve and develop with time, you cant be happy with everything all of the time and i wish people would stop with this canon BS about there are only 4 jedi there are only so many this etc etc, it is a starwars *environment* if you wish to relive the movies get some star wars lego and build your *own* environment and whinge to yourself about the fact that your wookies are shiny plastic and have no fur...

25. What's this I hear about the Teräs Käsi being Jedi Hunters?

Although not officially named in any of the Star Wars movies, the Teräs Käsi have appeared in several books, including theStar Wars Encyclopedia. Here's the quote from that book:

Both a martial art and an Order. The Teräs Käsi were formed from the remnant civilians of a long-ago battle which devestated their home world of Palawa, a war which involved the awsome powers of the Jedi Council. The few survivors of Palawa migrated to a nearby world called Bunduki, where they decided to master mind over body so they may keep the Jedi use of power in check. The Teräs Käsi are thought to be sensitive to changes in the Force, and Teräs Käsi Masters are feared by the Jedi. But Teräs Käsi are not generally Force users as Jedi are: Teräs Käsi draw internal, personal power, while Jedi draw from everything around them.

It is important to note that it does not appear that the Teräs Käsi are meant to be Jedi-hunters in Star Wars Galaxies, at least not in their current incarnation. Many people on the forum are pushing for something in an expansion that might bring some of these mythic abilities into

Well someone in an earlier post said that TKA were indeed made to watch over Jedi to keep their power in check. Well it looks to me and a lot of other people that the Jedi (Light and Dark) are getting out of hand. So put on your extended universe role playing hats and start putting them in check. Personally I am hoping this template will eventually work well against them...

Maybe switching out in the meantime the LLC line of BH for Commando Grenades if it really works better against the Jedi. Apparently Lightning AND Flames are blockable by Jedi but lets hope that gets changed soon.

This is one BH who likes the idea of allowing any class to become a Jedi Hunter. Not that everyone in the game should be involved in that hunt, but that this allows a BH to customize his fighting style. Don't think of it so much as a TK who takes up Jedi Hunting, but rather as a BH whose primary combat skills are those of TK/Unarmed.

Personally, I've always found it silly that BHs have to use the three weapon trees provided and rely on weapon switching as an advantage (one that's not really so much there with the weapon switch time nerf). We didn't see that in the movies. Instead, we saw BHs that used their weapon of choice, and occasionally some gadgets. Dropping the required Scout trees and allowing for more skill points in another profession allows for just that. A BH can now customize his fighting skills to best hunt down a mark, and, depending on how many skill points they want to invest in the weapon trees of BH, has the ability to take up whatever combat class they need to do it.

Ideally, IMO, the best choice for BH would be to eventually eliminate all combat lines from the profession and just focus on skills and traps that will help with hunting and trapping a mark. The combat skills would be completely separate and based solely on how the BH chose to hunt.

Laeren try not to think of it as a BH dabbling into other professions. Think of it as other professions dabbling into BH. The way I see it, being a BH is more of a lifestyle choice. Why cant a TKA, Fencer, or even a Smuggler partake in the ways of hunting bounties? Anyone can go out and collect a bounty on someone but it takes the most skillful and cunning of players to actually complete the mission.
