I mean, past a certain point, a ship is a ship and I'd assume that if Anakin takes it that's not entirely in his mind, or he's considering it some form of retribution for what the bastard took from him.

And maul might have some stuff there, but I'd highly doubt there were booby traps because it would make no sense to put those on his own ship, that has stealth devices. That should be correct.

If anything he's hidden things he either finds valuable or was told to hide. Which means they're likely to be valuable/pertinent to our current objective of find whomever did this (because that's gotta be in our Mind right now, even if it's not a full fledged ambition yet).

@Arthellion is this interpretation correct?
The ship is clean aside from some dark side relics.
 
IC JUSTIFICATIONS for the Items:

Maul's Ship: It's cool and has some awesome perks! Who cares if it was owned by Maul. A ship is a ship. And this one is better than most.

Obi-wan's Saber: I need a weapon better than my training saber. I can honor obi-wan by taking it.

R2D2: The droid apparently saved Padme's ships on the way to Tatooine. The least I could do is rebuild it and have my own droid again.

EDIT: There are literally no negative rolls or anything to any of these choices. No DS or LS points. No rolls. It's literally just what cool thing do you guys want?

As to why I'm voting for this rather than the other plan that also goes for Constitution, well, I like having a buffer, y'know? I know we have more Omake Points now, but each CP spent only saves Anakin once. Now, granted, we'll probably be alright? But better safe than sorry y'know? Especially when dealing with Nightsisters. I'm just glad Gethzerion probably hasn't fallen yet, so all we have to deal with is Mother Talzin.

Just a thought, after the GM gave reasoning for each choice IC . . . why wouldn't Anakin go for the Saber? The other two represent a droid he's only heard of in terms of exploits on Padme's ship, and the other is a ship owned by the guy who killed his mother. Speaking IC, I imagine he'd go for the Saber purely to honor the Jedi whom died fighting the Sith menace.

I'm still going droid cuz fuck IC reasoning but I think it's important to mention.
 
okay, so, rethinking things a little bit, especially considering the level up.

My logic remains the same, and the vote is essentially a shiny vote, so I'll go with what I want and what I know we won't be able to get past this point.

[x] [Level Up] Plan I SEE THE PATH
-[x] Shatter Point (5 points) You gain access to the force ability Shatterpoint
-[x] Force Prodigy (2 Points):Upon unlocking a Force ability, you immediately gain level one.
-[x] Talk with Dooku about what has happened.
-[x] Use the comm on Dooku's ship to call Beru's family.

Okay, so. Reasoning.

I know Shatterpoint's a heavy investment, but I think right now is the best time to get it. Why?

We're trying to break the force bond with Maul. It'll require a lot of things, but trying to destroy such an intrinsically close things would almost certainly be a point where shatterpoint would allow us to muck about. If not being able to save him, then we could make sure we break him and keep him from harming others in the most fundamental and visceral way possible.

I think that'd be a karmic justice of a sort.

Moreover, this is a huge thing and something we'll have to invest in eventually. We can hold off on stats until the next level up, especially with the potential to get a good layaway of omake points to cover any danger before the update happens. So I say right now, with the hiatus, is the best opportunity to make a big purchase for later.

Because he'd want to build his own lightsaber? Building a lightsaber is something intensely personal, and using another's, even a friend's, would feel wrong.

R2-D2 brings a lot of things to the table that we can't necessarily do ourselves, such as a dedicated repair droid, slicer and code breaker.

No, I get that from our standpoint. But his; he doesn't necessarily know the significance in building your own lightsaber, not unless Dooku told him off screen. He knows it was Obi Wans though; a man he knew personally and respected, and someone who died in and effort to protect Naboo and the Queen. Someone he found important enough to take a vow of vengeance against his killer and leave the Jedi order to go find and apprehend/kill.

As for a droid, he doesn't even know R2.

It's the matter of IC it not making much sense for him personally to not take the Saber. I definitely won't be voting for it but I believe it worth mentioning.

This isn't anakin going for anything serious so much as Anakin going I can get one of these? COOL!

Its a bit of his 10 year old side bleeding through.

Sure, the saber could be poignant, but that's not necessarily the only possible reaction here.
 
Give our potentially hostile reception the saber is also likely to be immediately useful. R2 could also be useful there, though not as much, probably more for sensors than mechanical stuff... while the ship won't be useful at all, and I reiterate that we can and will get better ships from Dooku later, seeing how he has the money and the connections to get a custom model like this one.
 
Few things I am looking forward to:
1. Failing to discover Owen on Tatooine, discovering he left the planet with some spacer. Then we can run across him later when he is training under a badass bounty hunter or something.
I don't want Owen to join our party and play second fiddle to a bunch of force users all the time.
2. Returning to the Jedi Temple in a number of years and beating that dickhead Ferus in a duel. You know he won't be able to resist commenting how he knew Anakin wasn't cut out to be a Jedi if allowed to interact with him. Then we can beat his ass using all the tricks Dooku showed us.

I don't know about the Shatterpoint option. What is the advantage of Shatterpoint? We should not forego the sabre prodigy perk.

Shatterpoint:
Level 1: +2 Intelligence, +2 Wisdom, Begin to see shatter points in the physical world around you. Decisions Unlocked.
Level 2: +4 Intelligence, +4 WIsdom, Begin to see shatterpoints in people's personalities.Decisions Unlocked.
Level 3: +4 Intelligence, +4 WIsdom, Instinctively see Shatterpoints in combat. Insta-crit on all damage given.
Level 4: +6 Intelligence, +6 WIsdom, Begin to see shatterpoints in battlefields. Decisions Unlocked.
Level 5: +6 Intelligence, +6 WIsdom, Begin to see shatterpoints in time. Decisions Unlocked. See the results of a decision before vote occurs.

Basically, it allows us extra options, and at maximum, shows us the results of our decisions before we make them.
 
Fine I'll go with the shatterpoint option, but next opportunity we need to take combat prodigy and some stats.

No calling Beru o_O. Also I want to hug the bunny. This plan gives us a boost up in stats, both Prodigy Perks which are critical, some time with Dooku, and hugging the bunny. It has everything that we need. HUG THE BUNNY! That is clearly the most important part of this plan.

I got 3 CP for omakes and everyone votes to call Beru with spare CP /sigh with lolz and pinch of salt/:jackiechan:. Should charge you all of you for that. Oh well, the whimsy of the masses will carry me along to wherever we are going.

I am sure, there was already a plan similar to this around that I voted for but whatever.

I'll handle next time I suppose, haha. Entire chat should switch off on Omake CP duty.
