It's that time again...

Time for me to update my journal. (That, and another tournament has come and gone, and I need to record how I feel about it, so that, in case I forget, I can always look back and go "Hm, so that's what it was like..." Not to mention that I should record the lessons I learn so that I don't forget by the time the next tourney rolls around.) But I

I don't know about the abundance of Force-sensitive characters in RT:S, at least not in the regards that we leaped and bounded above the normal progression of the canon. Drizzt spoke to Revan telepathically because Revan initiated the contact, and outside of Drizzt's own mind, he didn't use a single Force power--just the natural powers he had as a grossly agile drow elf.

I didn't think Akira stepped over any lines, either. As was stated by that character's sponsor, Akira's own canon allowed for the fantastic and the supernatural; the Force-sensitivity was just a convenient offshoot of that.

I think that the Force can work in a tournament, but one must be judicious with it. Let's say you were to sponsor another Force-using character some other time--we'll say Luke Skywalker. If Luke is the only active Jedi in the tournament, then you can easily restrict the use of the Force (and the concept of Force-sensitivity) because only your character would be able to sense such a thing. I do think that the potential for Force-sensitivity to get out of hand is there, but I don't think that that happened in this particular scenario.

Also, what reservations do you have about the Drizzt/Malak interaction? Was it that it took too may rounds up? If so, I tend to agree. I found it very difficult to squeeze Drizzt into further interactions after that arc had completed; I wanted to get something in with Master Chief, but due to what we were doing, it just wasn't possible until he had already declared himself out of the tournament. I'm sorry if the story took up too much of your time to allow you to do what you wanted to do with Malak; I think this is a valuable lesson. These tournaments aren't the place for 5-round-spanning arcs.
