And yet not one heroic character is killed by there marksmanship, despite them having ample shots. WHY?

A valid point for any RPer to take into account, for any RP situation

Magic?

Again emphasizing the fact, that everyone posts in this thread and NOONE READS IT I'm an 18 year old girl who was in the prequels as a body double for Natalie Portman

Not to make a political point here, but I guess we can't complain when we all get taken away by storm troopers in 4 years when we elect 'Arakin Kywalker'

I think he should play a random farm boy on tatooine with a bad haircut.

I'd like to start a petition to prevent this...

I have been doing the same, I've literally posted 20+ posts on a guild site that only 2 members of the guild in game have even looked at, and have been frantically writing posts on SWTOR-RP (such as my guide to Cantina RP)... I get on in 1 day though, so hopefully I'll be able to promote RP in game soon

It will happen when they want it to happen. Lets be honest, they need to do alot of different animation/programming tasks, and to them its more important that the game as a whole is running fluidly(which it has been) than whether or not the animation for your character to sit down exists yet.

At least in the Lore as I understand it from way back when I was just getting into Star Wars RPing, Zabrak are actually related to the Sith in some way...

Are you object to this being shamelessly stolen by people for other servers?

Thats depressing.

I agree! In WoW I met a character that was actually working for an underground slave-trading market and he would begin talking as though he was flirting, and than attempt to knock them out and bring them into this horribly complex(and utterly fascinating) guild he had going on.

Can you just try on the same 'slave outfit'? It seems no gear would be gender specific..
