Actually, he got you. You just called out one weakness out of the several weaknesses that he stated. Seriously, while charisma may not do anything, wisdom, intelligence, constitution, and whatever those personality ones were certainly cover the strength and speed.

All in all, I think he has a valid point. Compared to Jerek's character, this one is actually quite more powerful.

No they aren't. A valid weakness to counteract a physical perk is physical, not mental. "He's not very bright" is not a valid weakness. The exception would be if he had a serious mental handicap of some sort that would keep him from being able to utilize his strength and speed to full advantage.

I'm going to organize a mass purge against the energy vampires to explain their rareness in future canon. Then I'm going to blame your deaths on bear cultists.

I would like to take on you character with some garlic and a stake

Sure, I'd love some garlic and steak. I'll invite Sakaki and Jerek's lamia too.

The Cathar almost became extinct by the attack on their homeworld by the Mandalorians. Maybe the Hutts or Taung do that to some planet we adopt as the Lamia homeworld (since I do believe we are not allowed to create planets) as to explain the rarity.

As Jiang is to Cathars, I shall be to Lamiae (aka energy vampires).

During construction of the Witch of Endor, I was considering Battle Meditation as one of her abilities (which she honed during her stay on Endor), though took it out during the second draft. I'm now thinking of putting it back in but not wanting to overpower the Witch. Do you think her also having Battle Meditation would make her too powerful?

No, I'm serious, I will organize a hunt to kill all of you, then blame your deaths on satanic bear cultists.

The difference is that Cathars have been represented in various media and energy vampires are an overpowered species from one Clone Wars comic with one individual representing their existence. They turn people into zombies, have claws, superior senses and inhuman strength and speed. They can heal themselves by biting people.

:( They're going to end up in the same boat as the Gen'dai.

That stinks. I've been having so much fun with them too. And in my defense, I've worked to counter these advantages. Personally, I don't care about the inhuman strength and speed (nor zombification but it's amusing so I'd have to say I'm split about that). The main reason I chose energy vampires is because of the length of their lives and the ability to heal themselves.
Gen'dai are more OP than energy vampires. One little muscle can regenerate the beast.

This is just my opinion, but I think it's fine when 1 or 2 people have characters from some almost unknown species. But then they start making 2nd and 3rd characters, and other people catch on and make their own, and the cycle continues.

It very quickly ruins the feel of a species as 'unique'.

Later in the RP once she's done more training and has a lot more experience, would it be fine to have her develop Battle Meditation at that time?

I don't like it. Battle Meditation doesn't work in Free-Form RP and just opens up a huge can of worms.

You know what, stop acting like I said my character was only "Slightly below average intelligence" I gave my character 2/10's and 3/10's...

That does not invalidate Doomsday's point. In combat scenarios, the most physically capable person has an advantage. Combine training into the equation and you have a very formidable foe. And intelligence does not affect training, seeing as a dog can be trained for a variety of purposes. That is an example, not an insult. The statement is simply to avoid misunderstanding.

You could try and trick him into it and not go the most direct rout. Maybe try snipering or poisoning if you aren't going to try and fight him. I mean now people who are phyiscally strong enough to put up a melee are to be called overpowered and such? That is actually a load of bs. The stats are supposed to be balanced, if I am as unintelligent as I am super strong then you shouldn't be having very many problems trying to kill me if you are equally balanced. That is just flat out stupid that just because a character is good at combat, than he is overpowered. What do you guys just go "**** the soldier he's overpowered because he can the fight the best" when playing kotor?

Yes, poisoning and sniping work so well in a cramped space in a freakin' battlefield!
Now, Jerek, I'll be nice here. Get out of any of my character threads and never come back to them, nor enter any future ones! Your posts are rarely criticism, and instead generally bashings that provide little help or whining of inequality. Your nonsensical unreasonable ranting and complaining drive discussion away from the topic at hand to some sob story about you. I've had enough of you obsessing over the spotlight. If you want to praise and worship yourself, do it someplace else. Just please to do ruin anymore threads by leading them off track.

Woah woah woah up yours. I'm just saying this because your energy vampire is way stronger than mine and no one has said a thing to you. I'm serious here; stronger. I'm not trying to be an ass here, or steal the spotlight or w/e, but I'm saying all this because it doesn't seem like this is on a very fair basis,

Okay both of you, stop it now. I am sick of the two of you, especially you Jerek. You are holding onto the title of friend by the thinnest of threads. Jerek, stop acting like a ****ing child. Weiss, you stop being so rude and overly aggressive. You two need to both grow up and Jerek I expected more of you. You promised that if I got on this site with you, you wouldn't do this bs! Now I don't want to hear another damn thing out of either of you on this stupid immature argument! Do I make myself clear? Jerek I'll speak to you on aim!
