Essentially.
If you choose to study DS powers you get DS points. But in combat you're not gaining DS every time you use that power.

Have you considered that Sidious was in his mind and stopped him from saying whatever he was going to say? Who knows what else he did while he was in there? We really can't take anything he tells us as the Truth/Fact because 1 he is a Sith and 2 he has obviously had his Master, a hidden Sith of great power and ability, inside his mind.

I agree with R2D2, mostly. Why are we still stuck on the not going to the Dark Side? It has been made pretty clear even in Dooku's vision that Mastering both the Light and Dark is needed to actually 'Save' the Galaxy/Balance the Force.
Other than that, I will probably just try to RP my choices. So calling my brother's last known location even if it doesn't net me anything right away it might let me know where to look on Tatoine.
I want those prodigy perks. 1st we are the chosen 1 so we should have them, and second they really will help long run and short term they aren't bad.
Stats are a maybe, probably just 1 if any.
Edit: I like the idea of upping Constitution, dying is not on the docket for me personally.
I also want to talk to Dooku, our only remaining support pillar, and pet our bunny.

In Character, means from the perspective of the character.
On a separate note, I think this is a very poor reason for the vote. I note people tend to say, 'oh it is in character' as justification for their choice without supporting details behind it. Also there tends to be a massive failure to consider that people might behave outside their expectations. There is a wide range of humanity out there as well as reactions. That is why I prefer to look at risks/rewards. What is the associated risk in terms of cost/energy/time/repercussions versus the rewards in terms of training/experience/story progression/knowledge.
/deep breath
Why are we looking at other stats besides Charisma? We leveled up other stats specifically to level up Charisma, since it has been made a focus. Charisma also ties in with the Dun Moch style of Dooku. My thought based on what people wanted in the past was Charisma then other stats to push up Charisma again. The point gain while a gain, isn't large enough for people out of our weight class and isn't a massive type of boost. It is a slow and steady grind upwards, not a quick grab. Also Charisma has out of combat applications. We aren't ignoring the other stats, but Charisma would be the leading one.
For giving the holocron's to Dooku. We would lose control of them. Holocrons are incredibly rare and we most likely would not come across any more for quite a while especially the Stih one. Dooku can limit/remove access. Dooku could fall to the Dark Side studying the Sith one thinking he would be fine. Dooku could keep them for himself. The 1/2 levels gained in the bond does not seem worth such a massive loss. Talking to Dooku seems a much safer/better alternative.
Again with calling. We are not calling Owen, we are calling Beru. People keep repeating that it is a call to Owen. So I want to bring up my four points again and ask anyone who is making a plan to call Beru address these.
-Owen might not even be there or have no forwarding address, we are calling Beru not Owen
-Owen might be enslaved by the Hutts or captured by sand people and we have no way to help him, Tatooine is not a nice place
-Owen is 10 years old and really loved his father, he won't be in a good emotional place to comfort Anakin, he is a bratty 10 year old not an adult
-Anakin just spared/saved the individual who killed their parents, if that comes up the conversation will go downhill, unless we lie or purposely move the conversation away from a topic, which kind of defeats the point of calling in the first place for emotional support
People said, 'oh look sparing Maul is light and good and will work out'. There are risks to calling Owen, I want there to be an acknowledgement that placing that call has a chance of doing more harm than good or accomplishing nothing. These risks are non-zero. We already know that Owen lives from the vision, the real question is what happened to him and if he is in a good emotional place to talk to Anakin.
Also we are going to Tatooine after Dathomir. So it isn't like Owen will be forgotten about. There are just more urgent matters with Maul/bond to deal with. Better to go to Owen and say 'Maul is dead, he killed our parents' than some other story.
We should take Combat Prodigy and only study Niman if we are going to study any type of light saber style. It has the greatest benefits out of all the light saber styles and needs to be our focus after Shii-Cho. But it is non-urgent at the moment to study Niman, the 2 Prodigy Perks are a much higher importance. There is a good chance we can learn unique Force Skills on our visit. We know the witches have to use at least one type to break the bond.

Regardless of whether or not he's there it gives us a lead or we get lucky and he's there. That's the only point I'm dealing with seriously though. As for the rest...it just makes me curious what kind of family you come from.
Edit: In character means thinking as Anakin. Anakin would not think oh my brother is bratty he can't comfort me. He would think oh I need to find out if he's alive and what has become of him. Please for the love of god just admit you're only interested in the points.

We keep him alive until the Bond solution is found, we get the info we need, then he stands trial or dies. Aftee that we have no real reasonto keep him around.
So, are we still waiting for Serenno for Jedi class pick, cause that may be a while.
Definitely like this plan. We need both perks because we don't really control what we learn or when we learn it, see Sith Lightning. Talk with Dooku to work out what happens next and deal with the trauma. Learn what happened to our remaining family.
We didn't plan to learn Sith Lightning though but it still happened. Best to get it now in case some surprise traiming comes up.
But Beru was the last person Owen was with. They were having a sleepover. Of course she will have an update.
...How us keeping Maul alive causing him pain? Maul is going to live long enough to give is what info he has and get the bone worked out. Then he will either receive a trial or die. He has killed countless people, our parents included. What do you want to say to Owen when we see him again? "This is the guy who killed your dad, but he isn't dead or in prison because reasons".
Every time we level up we gain 6 Charisma. Frankly the most important stats to upgrade right now are either Con, for HP, or WIS for passing skill checks and the force.

because we couldn't use Charisma in all situations, yes charisma is important but their are situations where wiill have to fight, charisma can't avoid all confrontations. We need constitution to not die at the first strike, Intelligence for knowledge and Makashi, Wisdom, exct. Charisma is useful but have only this is an handicape, not an advantage.

We aren't just focusing on Charisma, but it has been a central focus for a while. That is why 2 updates ago we leveled up 3 other stats I believe. It has just been that Charisma has been the primary stat we wanted to increase. So for spending a point/s it seemed like a good choice to follow up from the previous vote in order to improve it.

1. If Owen isn't there and left no forwarding address, we could still learn something about how he is/what happened to him
2.If something bad has happened to Owen the information would be useful. Say your theory of Owen being enslaved by Hutts is correct and we encounter a Hutt that wants something. If we know Owen is Hutt enslaved we could ask for Owen as our payment.
Without information we have no chance of helping Owen, while information doesn't mean we be definitely able to help, it will at least give us a chance.
3."A burden shared is a burden halved" is a cliche but has some accuracy. Even though both are young and upset, the very act of talking could help both.
4. Anakin is more likely to reveal that the killer has been captured by him than blurt out a single piece of information that looks bad without context.

Talk to our master and get our head straight, purchase those prodigy perks before training and wisdom Perk, because it is the Stat for which we roll the most. May even help in getting our emotional state under control.
We will still have 2 CP remaining for emergency. We have no goddamned idea what will happen with Tarzin.
Charisma is nowhere near essential right now at this moment. We need wisdom to not do stupid shit and keeping our emotions under control.
We also need to know the situation at our home world.

When we level up Charisma automatically gains 6 pts. We need WIS and CON more than charisma frankly, because those don't gain any points unless we put them in.
This is a correct but a very vague definition. In character means making decisions on what character knows\wants not on something player(s) know\want
What is the point of roleplaying for your then? Building the strongest character possible? Defeating the GM?
Most of players do that. But majority tend to powergame aka combining IC and OOC reasoning for character decisions. Yes powergaming is that, not trying to make the most powerful character\"win" the game. Powergamer and munchkin are often considered to be the same type of players but they are not. At least in my understanding of terms based on ~15 years of playing tabletop RPGs
Because there are short term need for passing rolls. Wisdom looks more important ATM. Also, stop having the illusion that there are some unified "thread plan". There are really not. We all may switch to raising dex any moment
I am fine with Dooku restraining our access. I care not for 1/2 levels of bond but to prevent worseninbg relationships when he does find. The later we do, the worse it will be. Even saying will get the reaction "Did you hide that from me for years?"
Try red, all caps and font size 20. We heard you
Who does that? People keep reasoning that it is Anakin's attempt to find what happened to Owen
Anakin doesn't know that.

But getting clues of future events is well worth the CP investment, plus we have enough points to get the 3 powers now...
Charisma increaces naturally by having Dooku as master. I think we began with the stat gains before we got him as master.
Any conversation with Beru's family or Owen if he's there will likely require a wisdom check.
As for increasing constitution, we would have died if it wasn't for the saved CP. More HP is required.
1. If Owen is not there at the moment Anakin can leave a messsge and Beru's family might know what he is up to.
2. If he's enslaved Beru's family might know.
3. I don't really care if they can comfort eachother or not. The most important thing is that they get some kind of contact.
4. And? Would Owen disown Anakin for trying to get Maul to trial instead of killing him? Any argument between the two of them can be worked through. I'm not sure that Maul will die before Anakin gets to Tattoine so I doubt the conversation will be better face to face

R2D2 we can use immediately, it builds Anakin confidence to rebuild a droid and have a companion. Also we can buy/build a swanky ship later, one that doesn't remind us of our parents' murderer.

Thanks for the reply on this. I guess this would be the light side argument to my dark side. I do agree the arguments cut both ways. I also like "A burden shared is a burden halved" quote. It does make sense they could talk to each other. I just don't see Anakin as a normal 10 year old anymore. He grew up too quickly. With the Chosen One, he is more like ~14-16 than 10. In my mind he would have a harder time relating to an emotional kid.
Also if he brought up the capture it would lead to questions like How and When kind of thing. There are a lot of sensitive subjects that would have to be danced around or that Owen wouldn't be able to understand as a 10 year old.
I agree on this, but we should have one focus stat. Charisma was what we started off with and synergies well with Dooku. We will have to bump up the other stats after Charisma. 1-3 points per update. Remember that Charisma could only be raised so much until the other stats had to be increased. That was my thinking. I would rather have one super stat we can use than more of an average.
Shatterpoint is a long term type of investment. Also 5 CP is a lot. If we got Shatterpoint and both Prodigy Perks there would be nothing left. I view spending time with Dooku and at least 1 point to stat growth per level necessary. The EXP and relationship with Dooku is very important. Also we need to get the Prodigy Perks ASAP. With 1 CP on stats, that only leaves 2 free. I was originally thinking of doing a layaway into Shatterpoint, but playing with the Bunny is much better for stability/emotional health.

I think this explains the difference here in the discussion.
Pelius, you are looking at the end goal .The results of your decision.
Others are looking at Anakin's desires. They aren't as concerned with the results. They are acting as if they were a young boy who just found his parents are dead,but knows his brother is alive. Most children would want to contact their family member at the earliest convenience regardless of the result.
