I have just begun playing KotOR, and there is something that occasionally happens that I cannot find an answer to in the manual. On occasion, while I am playing, a small blue upwards pointing arrow appears next to my character portrait. I know this does not mean taht I have levelled, since that is a yellow arrow. I cannot figure this out, it doesn't seem to happen under any specific circumstances or conditions. If anyone knows what this means, plz let me know, it is just kinda bugging me as to what it means.

If I remember right, I think it's representative of a force power you are using that is active.....I remember some force powers being stackable.

Thanks for all your input. I have (I think) figured it out. When I have an energy shield on , or some type of buff, it appears. I guess it is just a buff indicator.

I think an up arrow means your skills are temporarily increased because of a force power or something, and a down arrow means they're decreased because of an enemy force power.

Not only do you get an upwardss arrow, you can stack them on top of each other by buffing different attributes. To test it out use some stimulants and see the effect, it can make some fights so easy.
