Is there a chance Obi Wan can get killed by darth Maul?

Yes. There will be a dual of the fates sidestory if that fight happens.
I'll do the rolls so you guys can get an idea of what duels look like and put it in a spoiler text then write out the results.

Cheaper then before interesting. Also leaving our sith holocron behind would let us come back later once we are at a knight level and have some grounding.
[] Prophesy of the Force (1 Points): You receive a dream unveiling your true destiny (beginning of The Balance questline)
[] Late night walk with Padme/Visit Naboo Ship/ One training with Diath's Holocron
[] One last (?) training with Master Zan
[]Apprentice Speaker: +4 Charisma
[] Novice Student: + 2 Intelligence
[] Novice Farmer: +2 Constitution
[]Novice Brute: +2 Strength
That comes out to 9 points. Gets us started on the balance questline which we need to get to the second level of that for one of our ambitions. Story perks give us access to potential more XP and special stuff so grab 2 since they are 2 points each. Then Charisma (avoid cannon can't talk to other Ani), Intelligence (used for a lot of our skills that are not charisma, including piloting). Seriously we have 20 skills and only 2 do not use either charisma or intelligence. Constitution because (con modifier+level)x2 is our hit point total, so that adds another 2 HP to make us less squishy and strength to shore up our weakest stat.
One last training I am sold one (we are 1/2 for unlocking level 2 of Teras Kasi and this may push us over). The other story perk slot I figure one of the three (Diath's holocron has a chance of leveling up two unlocked skill). Going to the ship introduces us to Obi-Wan and the rest of the crew, while spending time with Padme is good if we want to pursue a friendship/romance with her. Not sure which one yet.

And being outraged somehow helps you?
Aside: Isn't this basically passion v serenity?
Let's say you're a slave being beaten by your master. You have two choices: unthinking resentment or finding out why you're being beaten. One of these is pursuing ignorance, the other knowledge.
Such a line of thought is by no means foreign to Anakin. Especially considering that, as a slave, he literally was given books and the chance to study. You just need a dataslate and you can copy them over.
The counterpoint is that serenity provokes an excess of inaction, perhaps to the degree of complacency.
If he was serene when it came to Owen, he would not have tried to befriend him.
Basically agreeing with the statement - you deal with the consequences of chaos in order to bring harmony into the world. E.g., befriending owen.
A more "this is great for the rich" criticism is that if the current state of harmony is oppressive to you, and any disruption of that harmony is chaos, there is no point in pursuing harmony (ignoring the fact that you can go through chaos into a greater harmony, of course).
So you're saying he... Distrusts it?

As far as the plan goes, I'm leaning more towards the above?
Like, we all want to begin the balance questline, last training w/ master zan, and +4 charisma.
As far as I can tell, strength isn't as essential to either the branch of jedi warfare that y'all said the guy who died practiced or to Teras. So I'd rather do Dex + Int because we're literally just a smol child exploring the big bad universe and trying to seduce a girl with sand-like commentary and levitating apples.

I kind of agree with this, @Arthellion. However, I agree that Anakin would probably not worry about it if he offered it. On the other hand, I fully believe that Qui-Gon and/or the Jedi Order will get this idea and follow on it themselves, at least if Anakin isn't drafted into the Jedi.

On an unrelated note, @Arthellion, do you have any intention to follow through on the all but confirmed by Word of God original plan of George Lucas to make Jar Jar Binks into the "real" Phantom menace? (Darth Plagueis)?

And how does this have consequences for you as voters? This is a choice between being completely selfless or simply letting time some time pass for the Jedi to send Qui gon what He needs.
If you know you're gonna get repaid, choosing to give the money costs you nothing. You might get repaid. You might not. Are you as voters ok with that?
No comment either way.

I agree with aceraptor up until this point the above is solid and im quite happy with the Jedi Write in that was approved yet I want to take a different approach with the level up, many people criticise the code and its perfectly valid to do so. However, if in the future we want to make meaningful change to it rather than being the lone follower of a personal philosophy we will need to take steps in the right direction to do so, i feel we'll have many chances in the future to boost physical stats but I want to take this chance to boost wis and int.

Once we leave and either become a padawan or whatever we seek to do I feel we can boost our strength and dex. That can be done further if we find out about Matukai abilities and we can train with them for a while in the future to boost our strength.
As for the Jedi code, I always felt it could be better understood by placing 'when' at the start of every line.
There is no emotion, there is peace.
There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
There is no passion, there is serenity.
There is no chaos, there is harmony.
There is no death, there is the Force.

You dont need to further clarify the last line as its pretty much clear. The Jedi code is as much a mantra as it is a philosophy in the classical term. When faced with trying times it can become a way to center one's self, in a trying situation when you are scared or frustrated and things seem to be going wrong remember; There is no emotion, there is peace. Seek that place of no emotion, clear your thoughts and you will find peace and then you can act. I could run through each line with examples but I trust people will understand where I'm coming from and perhaps apply the exercise themselves so they understand it better.
When I refer to the Jedi code as a philosophy in the classical term I mean as it was during antiquity, where the Stoics of pre and post-Roman variety existed, the Platonics, the Cynics etc. Not as it is nowadays relegated to the dusty halls of academia its place taken by religion and ideology. Philosophy then was a way of life, a way of thinking, it provided many different understandings of the world in a way that religion at the time did not and often found itself criticised and evolving, shaped as much by its students and its teachers.
The Jedi Code is a way of thinking, a way of life, it provides understanding, in that, it is classical philosophy. Yet it does not change as philosophy did you don't see philosophical subsets of the Jedi order nor parallel branches. Many of the splits from the Jedi was a split in the procedure such as; allowing Masters to take one or more student or the allowing romantic relationships, yet they offered no evolution or change, no new insights or understanding. In this it shows its religious and monastic tendencies and that is where its downfall ultimately is. Not in its shunning of emotion, Jedi have friends, interpersonal relationships, they feel sad, they feel angry, they don't deny themselves that but they are mindful. But they need to be mindful of their emotions though, and that is where the code comes in. Their downfall, however, is in the rigidity of their teachings a millennia has passed yet little changes, there are successes to be had in that they have been able to keep the number of fallen Jedi down and prevented any serious Dark Jedi rising from occurring, a far cry from the time before Rusaan. Yet their standing in the galaxy is one of mystery and suspicion, they have lost contact with the people of the republic. Their teachings offer little to the non-force sensitive so they are ignored or seen as aloof which they are. There are those that respect them yes but a galaxy-wide investigation would show a great deal of apathy towards them or mischaracterization.
Their mistake lies in their veneration of the force as 'their' ally, not a universal thing. They understand that it is tied to all living things, surrounds them binds them, that ultimately everything returns to the force. Yet they take that understanding for granted and that as they understand it, others should take them at their word. Jedi philosophy should be open to all sentients of the galaxy just as philosophy was in the classical era.
There will be fanatics who take it too far and go so far as to ignore all emotion and there will be those who are too full of emotion as it clouds their judgment yet they are not the majority it's just that their actions are often the most damaging.
Even splits in understanding the force through the Living Force and the Unifying force was more a case of specialization of abilities and method through the force than an understanding of the universe as a whole and one's relationship to it.
I've sort of lost my train of thought and I don't want to ramble uselessly so I'll end it here.

If we know we're gonna get repaid, rather than being completely selfless or simply letting some time pass, we are effectively using the resources we currently possess to work toward a greater cause while retaining some pragmatic self-concern.
If the phrasing above is a valid interpretation of our actions that bends our character toward a lawful neutral mindset, I am well-pleased.

Actually, I'm pretty sure the main mistake in the Jedi Code is that it somehow fails to consider that inner peace IS emotion.
To say nothing of the equally simple fact that happiness is ecstatic peace.
