I would rather take combat schtick than combat force power, because let's say that I want to spend two force points on manifest destiny and two on curruption - I am only left with four force points for episode, not much considering the number of powers I have).

Sorry, but not using Manifest Destiny would be against Gallador's deep ethical principles.
And concerning the comment about Rianna, I actually meant is as Gallador's being nice rather than straight hitting, but maybe there are actually some cultural differences between United States and Poland showing.

To be honest, I'm really not sure where it came from in the first place; it was certainly unintentional on my part. I think it was because when I joined the game I was myself really uncomfortable with that so when it happened in-game (and it happened a LOT during the Citadel) I kinda projected that and people thought it was amusing and ran with it, so now it stuck
I understand that if I buy the Subtefuge force power mastery between Episode V and VI, I can use the Corruption effect of that power between these Episodes?

With everyone done, it is now experience time! It's been a long game so we've got a good chunk coming
Basically, I am splitting the rewards into four story chunks, each worth 5xp. I don't want to deviate much from the 5 so there will not be many divergences.
Chunk 1 was your assassination on Selene and getting yourselves properly arrested. The fight went fine but I seem to remember your faked escape was on the improvised side so no bonus. 5 xp!
Chunk 2 was the first half of your time on Datura- working out the system and getting up to the top level. You got a lot of the right people but my overall memory of this is that it was a tad of a mess and you also got yourselves betrayed, so I'll make this 4xp.
Chunk 3 was the escape from Datura through blue and black. THis was horrible but it only had to be won and win you did. A bonus if you hadn't needed the stone for anything, but you were in no state to fight the spider so a flat 5.
Then chunk 4 was the takedown of Rivas! Heck, that was a trial, but the penalties for failure here were rather more direct; people could have been killed. You did what you set out to do, so 5 xp.
(So remember in future- clever play gets you xp bonuses... try for a 6 somewhere next time!)
However, one of you did pay a price; Gallador's downing and subsequent stay in a hazardous area has game consequences, like Rand's old stat loss. Gallador is now starting to suffer from a psychological inferiority due to his battle performance issues and the way this makes people think of him. He is forbidden from being in any sort of commanding position in the group... until he proves himself in battle, either with some sort of great tactical performance or awesome and obvious display of force power that cannot be denied.
Edna's introduction counts for chunk 3, and she of course scores chunk 4.
Hence, I make that a general reward of 19xp, with 10 for Edna.
