Why did they bother?..

No?

 

I could swear Bastila had "Battle Meditation" in one of her stats pages...

Battlewookie is right. There is a battle meditation on bastila's feat/power and it says the exact same thing just looks different.

FWIW, I like the way Jade Empire handles plot devices....they get a seperate page.

 

If it is plot-related, it should be lumped with other stuff that is simply plot-related.

Not a huge deal, mind you, but that is best.

Bastila's Battle Meditation is not the unique ability that Bioware would lead you to believe it is. This is a quote from Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi- The Golden Age of the Sith. Jedi Odan-Urr is explaining the Battle Meditation ability to Jedi Memit Nadill:

 

The concept of Jedi Battle Meditation is simple, Memit Nadill.

 

Every fighter brings his own fears, his own hopes with him into combat...

 

With sufficient concentration, a Jedi --such as you or I-- can strengthen the hopes of our allies and heighten the fears of our enemies...

 

Thus, what the armies know in their hearts must become true... because they believe it so strongly.

 

Which means any Jedi can do it, but Bastila may be able to do it on a much larger scale than others or at a much younger age.

 

I would also like to state that these comics were published in 1997 and take place 1,000 years before Knights of the Old Republic, during the Great Hyperspace War.
