Well, speaking of Dark Side characters again..

What happens to all these bonus dice from the DSP? In the rulebook it seems like they go away.

Wasnt there a rule somewhere for keeping part of the bonus dice after you turned? Tales of the Jedi?


There is actually the exact opposite for Dark Side characters.

Every rule in the various rule books say that once you fall to the dark side, several things happen:

1) There are no more bonuses to dice pools from dark side points (so those 6 dark side points no longer yield +6D to Force Abilities, it is gone completely).

2) You can still call on the Dark Side for a Force Point bonus, but every time you call for this bonus the difficulty goes up. Very Easy the first time, Easy the second, etc. until it gets to Heroic +10, Heroic +20, etc.

3) You also no longer gain Character Points unless doing something drastically evil that also yields you a Dark Side Point.

It's made to make it not fun for players to be Dark Side characters.

As a GM, I got rid of point number 3 and simply cut the CP's the character gets that fell to the Dark Side and they get that. So if everyone in the game gets 10, Dark Sider get 5.
