star Wars hack - Nature hacks?

I like Alejandro’s thinking. I like the idea of a tension between Nature and duty.

I’m going to self-aggrandizingly quote myself from the other thread.

@Odie

Precisely! The Mouse Guard are defenders of peace and justice in the Mouse Territories, too – but their job is against mouse Nature. It is not the way of the Jedi to fight. It is the way of the Jedi to live quietly and meditatively. But they can’t, because they have to defend the galaxy. It is not the way of a guardmouse to fight. It is their way to hide, escape, etc. But their duty, their job, is at odds with their nature.

The job of a Jedi Knight provides the incentive to kick ass, and tapping Nature, I feel, is a perfect way of doing that. Especially if you color tapping Nature as using the Force to kick ass, since the Force is a part of Jedi Nature.

I still say that if we go with that scheme as Jedi Nature, hitting Nature 7 means you retire to go meditate (which is why the Council is largely ineffective in solving the galaxy’s problems), and at Nature 0 you fall to the Dark Side. You’re still strong in the Force, but you have shown yourself to be incompatible with the aspects of the Jedi life which safeguard them from the Dark Side. You’re rash, impulsive, and you act based wholly in your (probably negative) emotions.
