JEDI/FORCE SENSITIVE-RELATED QUESTIONS

1. Will Jedi receive an extra character slot?
Yes

2. Will Jedi stil lose XP if slain by a bounty hunter?
No

3. For those who have gone through and gotten partway through the Force Sensitive Village (FSV), how will their re-spec points be allocated?
The FS village has been removed and Jedi have been included as an iconic profession, so progress in the FS village will not have an impact on the re-spec.

4. As Jedi seem to have more points vested than other players, will those players who were high level Jedi get more re-spec points?

Re-spec is based on combat level (or Skill Point usage in the case of Entertainers and Traders), but we do have some other great incentives for veteran Jedi in recognition of their efforts.
