Plus tbh, the precog from the Echani would be kinda redundant for Revan cause...he already has precog to use in battle.

Standard precognition can't be used to predict the path of entire wars. 😬

I was meaning personal fights. Hence "use in battle" bit.

That doesn't say what you think it says. 😬

Pretty sure it does. It says the Echani were awed by Revan's precognition ability, obviously referring to battle precognition.

It says that the Echani were in awe of his precognitive ability, nowhere does it say this was not Force based, but rather their martial art that he had at some unspecified point mastered.

Who cares, let's celebrate that Revan isn't a top 10 duelist guys 🙂

Kek, you were the one who just said precog and battle precog were different. This doesn't suggest anything to do with the latter, lol.

7. Exar Kun

I find Revan's handling of sith armies to be better than anything Krayt, Kun or Caedus have done.

Occams Razor guys. The simplest solution is best solution; we know the Echani are essentially bread for combat through precognitive abilities, so them commenting on Revan's precog is clearly referring to his Battle Precognition.

Czar Kun isn't an ancient relative to the ancients. 🙂

Why would they just be in awe of regular precog when it has nothing to do with their culture or fighting techniques?

Bread? 🙂

Really? 🙂

That kind of talk won't prove Yoggy's superiority 🙂

As in the Force based one, not the non-Force based Echani martial art. 👆

Force Precognition is Force-based. Battle precognition is tactics-based. The quote "I always felt Revan was an incredible tactician, and the Echani were awed by his precog and natural skill with tactics" directly associates Revan's precognition with his tactics, not his Force abilities. Furthermore, Brianna directly told the Exile how battle precognition works and then said "only Revan ever demonstrated such a skill in war. And even as he slaughtered us, the Echani still respected him."

He achieved their ideal, it isn't necessary that he used their methods. How would they even know, did he send the a fax telling them he was using battle precog? How would Revan even learn it?

Avellone said Revan was innately skilled in the practice, IIRC.

Plus it's almost like he studies the tactics of his enemies... mmm

Or the fact his master personally wedded the greatest of the Echani. 😬

And yet in describing Revan as an incredible tactician, he cites two things 1. his precognitive ability and 2. his tactical ability.

By your own words what you've described would fall under 2., 1. therefore could only refer to Force ability.

And yeah, that doesn't mean he achieved it through the same means. Brianna essentially says that by reading their opponents they could predict what they could do on a microcosmic and macro-cosmic level. The former Revan can replicate with Force-based precognition, the latter with exceptional tactical ability. Just like Avellone says.

Beni can expect a reply from me when I'm at a computer btw, very interested in proving Krayt's beastliness.

What? No. That's retarded. The fact he made a distinction means precognition and tactical ability isn't synonymous, which we already knew. Force-precognition cannot be used in the ways Brianna is explaining. When Brianna says "such a skill," she's referring to the Echani arts, for she's explaining to the Exile how it works. She's not explaining general precognition and saying Revan could also do it due to the Force. That wouldn't make any sense, since then he wouldn't have been capable of accomplishing the skill she cited, given it requires calculating and gauging heart beats, fighting styles, combat moves, etc, which Force-based precognition doesn't do. Since you're retarded though, I emailed Avellone. I bet every existing respect thread I have, including the Revan respect thread, that he's referring to a non-Force based form of precognition similar, if not identical, to the Echani's. Still respond to this though, since I want you to actually try to argue otherwise until Avellone brings down the hammer so I'm more satisfied with you enduring another defeat.

Why would Brianna be a remotely reliable source of info on Revan's skills?
