The Challenge of Temptation
(Kai Stormwalker)

Temptation poses the greatest threat to a Jedi, and the fall of a Jedi Knight often with one rationalized decision or errant choice.

Temptation takes myriad forms. The simplest urges the Jedi to provide an easy answer to a complex question. The answer might be immediately satisfying but creates long-term problems.

Another form of temptation comes from adulation and the threat of success itself. Accepting personal rewards is dangerous for a Jedi, fort it inspires belief in his own abilities that might exceed the truth. The Jedi learns that true satisfaction comes from serving the will of the Force, not from the approval of others.

Temptation starts small - losing your temper when making a point, taking pleasure in battle, etc. From these small blemishes the corruption grows.
