Not owning the Beta book, my exposure on this forum pretty much is all I have to the new game.

So from what I've seen the average force choke/lightnng type of skill is very generically called "Bind", correct?

Is there some fluff or detail on where that name comes from? I mean, the various definitions of bind that come to mind are completely unrelated to what the skill is doing. I realize they are trying to lump several various force-based attacks under one skill, but still - Bind? There has to be something fairly generic that would work better...

Lightning falls under the Unleash power. Bind immobilizes your target, and if you're using dark pips, inflicts wounds.

Lightning has nothing to do with Bind. That said...

Bind - verb, wrap (something) tightly.

Sounds appropiate to me.

Yeah there's some room for interpretation, but the book calls out lightening as Unleash, though Unleash CAN be upgraded to get the Ensnare quality...

Ensnare AND Burn!

Yeeeeah, I got my wires crossed somewhere...
