What if we had a three-way system, with the Force, the Source, and some 
other power being used? Each system would have some way of assigning a 
numerical value to its follower's abilities; and the sum of these 
values for any given player could never exceed some value X? Thus, I, 
as the Jedi Lord, would far surpass everyone else in matters of the 
Force, but I'd be pitifully weak in terms of Source and Third; whereas 
a Padawan wouldn't stand a chance against me in a Force-related duel, 
but could weave circles around me with the Source?

Of course, if that happens, then suddenly being the Jedi Lord isn't all 
that great...
