Char Ell Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 First, I wish to state that the beauty of KotOR is that we can play the PC however we choose and that's only well and good, otherwise the game just wouldn't sell as well IMHO. As for myself, I have played all three classes just to see how the gameplay differed. But... Step back for a second and consider the story being presented in KotOR. What Jedi class do you think Revan was during the Mandalorian Wars? Assuming you've played KotOR, the game presents certain details about Revan's background. From the information given in the game, what Jedi class do you think Revan most likely is and why? Now that I've posed the question, I'll put my 2 cents down on the table. I think Revan most likely a Jedi Sentinel. Reveal hidden contents From what I picked up on, Revan either built or made major modifications to HK-47, requiring skills that neither a Consular nor Guardian would likely develop. Revan also rallied Jedi to battle the Mandalorian invasion, not a likely response from a Consular but more likely from a Guardian or Sentinel. Finally, I feel Revan's decision to pursue knowledge of the Star Forge indicates a desire to seek out and discover, displaying behavior more closely aligned with the Sentinel class than Consular or Guardian classes. Generally speaking, I don't think a Consular would have had such a strong desire to fight to begin with and a Guardian would have gone out, kicked butt, and then returned home when the job was done. So there you have it folks. Cast your vote and make your case. I'm interested in what other forum members thoughts are...
Smilodon Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 Revan could also be a Multiclass character. Regarding his behaviour and his skills in battle and as mechanic, I too would suggest that he is a Sentinel, but the discoverage of Malachor V and obtaining the Sith teachings there acquire great knowledge and a strong affinity to the force, so it would also be possible that he is a Consular. Or a prestige class generally...
Bastila Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 I picked Sentinel as they are balanced, sometimes i chose guardian
gonzzalez Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 I voted sentinal as I do not see Revan as being deficient in fighting or force powers. Someone of his presence would have to be good at both.
MdKnightR Posted July 24, 2005 Posted July 24, 2005 I would also have to say Sentinel. Which is ironic because I have never played a Sentinel in KOTOR I. (It all goes back to how I detest yellow sabers). But, lets face it, Revan really had to have been a well rounded individual. However, in the case of Anakin Skywalker, I am sure that anyone would agree that he was a Jedi Guardian (even though the movies never had a yellow saber for a Sentinel class). Of course, it could be argued that Anakin was a Guardian before his fall to the Dark Side and after his conversion into Vader, his Prestige Class was Sith Lord (the other end of the spectrum). I tend to think that Revan would have been a Sith Lord as a Prestige class instead of a Marauder or Assassin. On the other hand, I think Malak was likely a Guardian/Weaponmaster, because, lets face it, he was extremely power hungry, wielded a very unique superlong lightsaber, and wasn't prone to bouts of genius.
RedHawke Posted July 24, 2005 Posted July 24, 2005 I see Revan as a Sentinel as well... Now Malak on the other hand was a Guardian all the way.
Venom750 Posted July 24, 2005 Posted July 24, 2005 I always thought of Revan as a Sentinal because he/she is always being Reveal hidden contents referred to as being able to build thing like HK-47 And Malak you could tell was a Gudian because of his lets just blow **** up (Taris) attitude and then in the finally battle he's jumping around like a bloody frog the force jumping fanny

I couldnt agree more i thought malak was supposed to be this dark lord yet when i fought him he kept giving it legs Reveal hidden contents so i just drained the life force from all the jedis in those tanks and killed him ha ha.
THE VIGILANTE Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 Well, I would think Revan was probably a Sentinel. However, according to the chronicles on LucasArts.com, Jedi Master Revan disappeared after the Mandalorian Wars. With that being said, you can guess he was a Consular before the War and after the war, the council promoted him to a new rank. Not to get off topic but: In TSL, Kreia gives you useful clues about Revan's past, and from what I could gather, he was a Consular/Master.
Smilodon Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 Well, in this case Jedi Master is more a title or rank for a Jedi who has mastered the force to a high degree than the class in TSL. Similar in the movies Darth Maul is called a Sith Lord while he actually is a Sith Marauder.
Rok_stoned Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 I believe sentinel because he was honored as a great warrior there fore not a conselor and well known for his arcane and achievements with the force and many discovories of the star forge. and when malak wrested control from the balanced leader the sith's stance quickly changed from a precise series of stirkes to an aggresive onslaught against the republic.
THE VIGILANTE Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 Hmmm... Well I guess Smilodon has a point. I voted for Sentinel anyways because that's the class I always play as.
Jeff Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 Obviously I'm different than everybody else, but I thought of him as a Consular. Maybe most consulars dont have the charisma required to rally all those troops, but when I hear the title Sith Lord or Jedi Master like Revan was, I think of a great knowledge of the Force. Maybe I just don't see him as a sentinel because I never played sentinel, but some of you are starting to sway my opinion to sentinel. But I already voted.

THE VIGILANTE Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 ^^^^ I think he was refering to the other people who voted for a different class than Sentinel.
Rok_stoned Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 Quote who is "they"? then Quote I think he was refering to the other people who voted for a different class than Sentinel. no i meant it to not refer to any1. you know like in the corny horror movies.
Char Ell Posted July 29, 2005 Author Posted July 29, 2005 @PsionicBeverage I have no idea what you're saying. Do you intentionally muddle your posts or is this just your natural way of communicating? Seriously, I've read your posts elsewhere and most of the time I haven't a clue what you're talking about.

Mono_Giganto Posted July 30, 2005 Posted July 30, 2005 THE VIGILANTE said: With that being said, you can guess he was a Consular before the War and after the war, the council promoted him to a new rank. But, after the war he became a Sith Lord and turned on the Republic. Additionally, the council never supported him in his war decision. So, under what grounds would he get a promotion?
Char Ell Posted July 31, 2005 Author Posted July 31, 2005 OK, a week into this poll and the voting shows Jedi Sentinel as the overwhelming favorite with Jedi Consular a distant second... Jedi Sentinel - 11 votes Jedi Consular - 3 votes Jedi Guardian - 1 vote Thanks to all those who voted and contributed their arguments in support of their particular view. For those who haven't voted yet please go ahead and let your voice be heard. I just wanted to post the vote count so we have a reference point for what the votes were a week into this poll.

That's good to know. Because it doesn't do much good if people don't understand you. But back on topic... I didn't start this thread with the intention of delving into the Prestige class Revan most likely was. I intended for this poll to cover the Jedi classes from K1. That being stated... DarthMoeller said: but when I hear the title Sith Lord or Jedi Master like Revan was, I think of a great knowledge of the Force. Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought Jedi Master and Sith Lord were Prestige classes. If my understanding of how the Prestige classes work is correct, isn't it conceivable that Revan could have started out as a Jedi Sentinel and then chose the Prestige class of Sith Lord for DS or Jedi Master for LS? I haven't played TSL yet (don't want to get into the reasons why) but from what I gather a Force-trained individual chooses their Prestige class after starting out as a LS/DS neutral Consular, Guardian, or Sentinel. But just because one started out as a Jedi Guardian doesn't mean that individual would be required to choose Jedi Weapons Master/Sith Marauder, right?
Jeff Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 ^^^ I didn't mean as much prestige classes as I did thinking of Jedi Masters and Sith Lords in the movies (there are no prestige classes in the movies).
Rok_stoned Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 I think they really screwed it up by saying sith lord and jedi master are prestige classes they shoud just be something like jedi seer or sith visor
