The Exile can handle force lightning considering that the actual power or proficientcy level of it is'nt clear.
We can gauge Revan's proficency and usage by the statements about his force power which was described as (A REHASH for the R'tards)
- Synonyms with Power
- Blinding
- Bristling
- Jolee seeing the force swirl around him
etc.
Now, when Bane a neophyte Sith apprentice BEFORE he had Revan's holocron, who was albiet very strong in the force, but NEVER described how Revan is, within the first few hours of learning force lighting he unleashed this:
"The smell of burning ozone wafted through the archives...the room crackled and hissed as he channeled the energy of the force and flung it about the room in great arching bolts of blue-violet lightning...Githany stood with Bane at the center of a maelstrom...tearing her hair and the fold of her robes."
Now if Bane in his first attempt ever could do that, imagine what Revan a master of both sides of the force could would do to the Exile.
So...the Exile can handle it...cause you say so? The only time we see canon force lighting appearance in the game it comes from Atris zapping Brianna, The Exiles apprentice, now, she makes NO attempt what so ever to defend herself from it, my point being why would the Exile NOT teach her a defense to a technique so widely used by the Sith and Dark Siders in general? Possible answer: The EXILE doesn't know one, aside from probably attempting to dodge, is there even a power in the game that allows you to dodge or redirect force lightning? Or do you just simply tank it. If so, if she tries that shit with Revan she'll get BBQ'D.
And I doubt that Revan's gonna kill her by making her understand wookiespeak or anything. This has no relevence in combat.
You really don't understand the force do you? If Revan could do that to an entire species without killing them, imagine what he could do if he decided he WANTED to kill them? With such subtle manipulations of the force the possibilities are endless in ways he could destroy a foe, he could constrict the blood flow to the brain, burst a blood vessel, liquify the brain, one swift force powered jab at the ear takes away her entire sense of balance. And considering The Exiles defenses were completely dominated by three rather weak Jedi Masters, Revan would easily be able to do the same.
