star Wars hack - Nature hacks?

Okay… some quotes & concepts from the other thread…

This may be sound odd, but well. Here we goes.

How about a dual Nature? Dark and Light. If one goes up, the other goes down. With a limit of 0/7, when Light is four, Dark is three, for example, and vice versa.

A jedi can choose which Nature he want to test. Of course, if he test Light against her aspects, then he is risking to loose a bit. (Or maybe a lot.) But, if he prefer to test his dark side, he is gaining a test for advancement for that Nature.

The Light Side aspects can be: patience, peace, meditation, harmony.

The Dark Side can be: fear, angry, hate, cause suffering.

If you ask me, the Nature conflict should be about all those bad things a Jedi should never do. Not Dark Side bad stuff, but, you know, all the internal conflicts of the prequels. “A Jedi must not love” and such. So maybe Nature is the Jedi Nature stat, but instead of useful descriptors like “knowledge, defense” have more questionable ones like “calm, passive” and the like. The idea is at 7 Jedi Nature, you retire to the Council and do nothing but meditate fruitlessly, and at 0, you go rogue or Dark Side or whatever.

I’m saying Jedi Nature is more like the ideal Jedi Nature (as espoused by the Council). The one Jedi are supposed to live up to, the one Yoda was schoolin’ young Skywalker about. “How am I to know the good side from the bad?” “You will know when you are calm, at peace, passive.” But how can you be passive in a fight?

(This works extra well, if you ask me, since “a Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.” Nature works perfectly in a fight conflict for Defend!)

I think the core conflict is preserved because the Jedi are always doing stuff which requires them to not be passive or at peace. But I’m not an expert MG hacker.

(This would probably go faster if I wasn’t doing an Insanity run in Mass Effect 2.)
