Yeah but these Sith Lords don't have plot armor. Or if they do, I call bullshit.

It's not about plot armor. The force gives you hyper-awareness and hyper-reflexes. It's how Jedi are able to block blaster-shots in the first place - they immediately know where each shot is going to end up, where their sword needs to be to block it, and the minimal amount of time it needs to be there before they have to move and block the next shot. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

Pending means waiting. It was just a suggestion.

About Banished fighting for humans,
I can change the Banished to a minor storyline, if that makes more sense. The point of another “Covenant” (so to speak) is meant to be an alliance of necessity, as the Reapers, the Flood, and the Imperial Empire are all closing in, so the races are kinda being forced into an alliance, less risk extermination. Like, I'm pretty sure a Deathstar is as good as a bunch of Reapers. In fact, I think a Deathstar's weapon could destroy a Reaper in a single hit.

About shooting Jedi,
I suppose an excellent Jedi could block a few bullets, but if you were to spray an SMG over a large area, I think even a Jedi would not be able to block everything. The Jedi would have to get out of the way. Some Sith seem to wear armour.

ANYWAYS, I will be reading the new posts soon, and will try to get the role-play up and going soon. I'm eating dinner right now, so I need some time.

The issue in these situations is how much you want to argue that it gives them. Personally, I find it difficult to think that they can both be aware that someone is taking a shot at them from a mile away and know exactly where it's coming from and what they need to do to block it, not to mention having to actually be able to. I mean, if you can see whoever is firing at you, it's reasonable, but if the person is a really long distance away it becomes a bit less clear what the reasonable thing is.

And yes, it certainly is about plot armor. It's always about plot armor, whether it seems like it's obvious or not. Done in by the dubious doings of destiny.

I guess a Jedi's Force powers allows one to be actively aware of everyone staring at him? I guess it depends on the individual, and how powerful.

Modern bullets tend to be made of copper or brass, so I think they'd just melt when passing into a lightsaber. But yes, I bet a slug could just pass through a lightsaber, or if it melted, the Jedi could have some molten metal splatting onto one's body.

I finished read all new posts. I'll be adding them to the character list, then starting the role-play, but I need some time to incorporate everything together. Obviously, the Covenant will be involved pretty soon, due to Lok being the Arbiter; should be great!

Of course, I am working on introing the RP now. I am hoping to induce awe and wonder by using a few pictures; Horizon Institute better be a fantastic, impressive idea, because I worked on it for over an hour!

I ate a big chunk of ham after boiling then baking it, potato salad, and coleslaw, all bought from the store.
