We've recently discovered that Darth Vader in the recent Star Wars RPG is basically Cthulhu.  He is nigh unbeatable by the players and consumes 1d6 rebel scum per turn.

As it should be.

God forbid you find something worse

I am altering the results of the dice. Pray I do not alter them further.

Kind of funny given that Darth Vader isn't even anywhere close to the top as far as powerful Jedi is concerned.

[Sirus]

He's not exactly the weakest, either. In the timeframe when the Jedi are nearly extinct and the Sith rule the galaxy?

...yeah, he kinda is at the top. Better than any PC Force-user could be, anyway. The only canon Force-users that could be considered more powerful than him after the Clone Wars would be Yoda (not a PC) and the Emperor (also not a PC). Obi-wan would be an edge case.

If there are 10 tiers of Jedi/Sith... Darth Vader would be a 7.

What if Obi-Wan has the high ground, though? He could beat Darth Vader no problem then, the only reason he loses in A New Hope is because they're fighting on a level surface.

Obi did become More Powerful Than You Could Ever Imagine, so really I think he wins the power contest.

[Sirus]

He also dies in the process and sorta loses any ability to directly defeat Vader at that point, so...

He's also much older than Vader. Also keep in mind, Vader was not defeated by the high ground at any other point in the OT. When Luke got above him, he just threw his lightsaber instead of trying anything stupid. He learned his lesson.

Naw Canonically he was capable of killing Vader at that exact moment due to his ghost powers. He just saw that he didn't need to act... so he didn't.

Usage of the high ground is a skill available only to Obi-Wan. By having the high ground, his skill increases such that any fight with him (especially with people who were his brother) is over by the time he has the high ground.

Also I was joking

At a time when most users of the Force are generally Force-sensitive at best, that is more than enough.

I think considering most Jedi in that era are dead, I think it makes him automatically a 9...
