RE: Force Point Recovery

Being able to take Force Point Recovery multiple times actually created three problems.
1) Jedi gain a huge advantage in the number of Force Points they can spend over the course of not only an encounter, but a level. Who would think twice about blowing a Force Point on dark rage to extend it to the end of the encounter when you have three “free” Force Points? The original thought behind being able to take it multiple times was that it would compensate for the Jedi having so many “Spend a Force Point to…” talents, but what actually ended up happening was that it provided a double benefit; if the talent’s good enough that it should require a Force Point to activate, and we give you three free Force Points per encounter, then we aren’t really regulating that talent at all.
2) It de-values all other Force Techniques. Gaining more Force Points for free per encounter is just better than everything else. In some cases, it can be argued that there’s never any incentive to take any other technique.
3) It de-values temporary Force Point-granting talents. Pretty self-evident that talents that grant you temporary Force Points are worthless when you effectively automatically gain 2-3 temporary Force Points per encounter.
